OBJECTIVES: Following up the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) genome-wide
association studies (GWAS) identification of NMNAT2 at rs2022013, we fine-mapped
its 150?kb flanking regions containing NMNAT2 and SMG7 in a 15?292 case-control
multi-ancestry population and tested functions of identified variants. METHODS:
We performed genotyping using custom array, imputation by IMPUTE 2.1.2 and allele
specific functions using quantitative real-time PCR and luciferase reporter
transfections. SLE peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were cultured with
small interfering RNAs to measure antinuclear antibody (ANA) and cyto/chemokine
levels in supernatants using ELISA. RESULTS: We confirmed association at NMNAT2
in European American (EA) and Amerindian/Hispanic ancestries, and identified
independent signal at SMG7 tagged by rs2702178 in EA only (p=2.4×10(-8), OR=1.23
(95% CI 1.14 to 1.32)). In complete linkage disequilibrium with rs2702178,
rs2275675 in the promoter region robustly associated with SMG7 mRNA levels in
multiple expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) datasets. Its risk allele was
dose-dependently associated with decreased SMG7 mRNA levels in PBMCs of 86
patients with SLE and 119 controls (p=1.1×10(-3) and 6.8×10(-8), respectively)
and conferred reduced transcription activity in transfected HEK-293 (human
embryonic kidney cell line) and Raji cells (p=0.0035 and 0.0037, respectively).
As a critical component in the nonsense-mediated mRNA decay pathway, SMG7 could
regulate autoantigens including ribonucleoprotein (RNP) and Smith (Sm). We showed
SMG7 mRNA levels in PBMCs correlated inversely with ANA titres of patients with
SLE (r=-0.31, p=0.01), and SMG7 knockdown increased levels of ANA IgG and
chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 19 in SLE PBMCs (p=2.0×10(-5) and 2.0×10(-4),
respectively). CONCLUSION: We confirmed NMNAT2 and identified independent SMG7
association with SLE. The inverse relationship between levels of the risk
allele-associated SMG7 mRNAs and ANA suggested the novel contribution of mRNA
surveillance pathway to SLE pathogenesis.
