Abstract
International audienceObjective. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by hyperplasia of fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs), in part due to apoptosis resistance. Adrenomedullin, an anti-apoptotic peptide, is secreted more by RA than osteoarthritis FLSs. Adrenomedullin binds to a heterodimeric functional receptor, of calcitonin receptor-like receptor (CRLR) coupled with a receptor activity-modifying protein-2 (RAMP-2), which is also overexpressed by rheumatoid synoviocytes. Since adrenomedullin decreases RAFLS apoptosis, possibly contributing to the development of pannus, study of adrenomedullin and its receptor genes might reveal a linkage and association in French Caucasian RA trio families. Methods. Within each of 100 families, one RA-affected patient and both parents underwent genotyping for polymorphisms of adrenomedullin, CRLR and RAMP-2, by PCR-restricted fragment-length polymorphism (RFLP) or Taqman 5′ allelic discrimination assay. Statistical analysis relied on the transmission disequilibrium test, the affected family-based controls and the genotype relative risk. Haplotypes of CRLR were inferred, and linkage and association studies were performed. Results. No significant transmission disequilibrium or association between the three genes and RA was observed. CRLR haplotypes revealed two major haplotypes, but no significant linkage with RA. Conclusion. Our findings provided no significant linkage or association of adrenomedullin and CRLR-RAMP-2 genes with RA in the studied trio families. The two CRLR polymorphisms rs3771076 and rs3771084 should be investigated in larger samples. © Copyright Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology 2008
