目的 采用两样本孟德尔随机化以及Meta分析研究趋化因子C-X3-C基序配体1(CX3CL1)表达水平与系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)发病风险的因果关系。方法 获取CX3CL1表达水平与SLE的全基因组关联研究(GWAS)数据,将单核苷酸多态性(SNP)作为工具变量并选择敏感的SNPs进行分析。通过逆方差加权法(IVW)、加权中位数法(WM)、MR-Egger回归法进行两样本MR分析,以OR值评估CX3CL1表达水平与SLE之间的因果关系,并对结果进行异质性和多效性检验。最后利用R软件Meta包进行Meta分析。利用coloc包进行共定位分析。结果 纳入9个SLE作为结局变量,其中4个变量ebi-a-GCST90018917(OR=2.14,95%CI:1.50~3.06),ebi-a-GCST003156(OR=2.25,95%CI:1.00~5.06),ebi-a-GCST90014238(OR=3.02,95%CI:1.54~5.94),finn-b-SLE_NOS(OR=1.81,95%CI:1.01~3.22)表明CX3CL1表达水平与SLE之间存在因果关系。关于 OR 95% CI 的森林图显示 SLE 患者的CX3CL1表达水平显著高于健康人群(OR=1.87,95%CI:1.53~2.29,P<0.001)。共定位分析结果提示CX3CL1表达水平和SLE表型之间有共享的遗传变异位点(rs170364)。结论 CX3CL1表达水平与SLE存在正向因果关系,CX3CL1表达水平的升高使得SLE的发病风险升高。
Objective To investigate the causal relationship between CX3CL1 levels and the risk of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)using two-sample Mendelian randomization and Meta-analysis methods.Methods Genome-Wide Association Study(GWAS)data for CX3CL1 levels and SLE were obtained.Single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)were used as instrumental variables,and sensitive SNPs were selected for analysis.Two-sample Mendelian randomization was performed using the inverse variance weighted(IVW)method,weighted median(WM)method,and MR-Egger regression to evaluate the causal relationship between CX3CL1 levels and SLE,with OR values assessing this relationship.Heterogeneity and pleiotropy tests were conducted on the results.Meta-analysis was performed using the Meta package in R software,and colocalization analysis was conducted using the coloc package.Results Nine SLE outcomes were included as outcome variables,with four variables(ebi-a-GCST90018917[OR=2.14,95%CI:1.50-3.06],ebi-a-GCST003156[OR=2.25,95%CI:1.00-5.06],ebi-a-GCST90014238[OR=3.02,95%CI:1.54-5.94],finn-b-SLE_NOS[OR=1.81,95%CI:1.01-3.22])indicating a causal relationship between CX3CL1 expression levels and SLE.The forest plot for OR 95%CI showed that CX3CL1 expression levels in SLE patients were significantly higher than in healthy individuals(OR=1.87[95%CI:1.53-2.29],P<0.001).Colocalization analysis suggested that there was shared genetic variation sites(rs170364)between CX3CL1 expression levels and SLE phenotype.Conclusions There is a positive causal relationship between CX3CL1 expression levels and SLE,with increased CX3CL1 levels elevating the risk of developing SLE.
