Relationship between gene polymorphisms at BCL11A and hemolysis markers in patients with sickle cell disease
description CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior === Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a hematological disease caused by a point mutation in the &#946;-globin gene. Sickle hemoglobin (HbS) is generated due to fragile mutation that decreases the red blood cell lifetime due to its chronic destruction, being the main responsible for the signs and symptoms of the disease. The use of hydroxyurea (HU) and genetic polymorphisms on modulates fetal hemoglobin (HbF), the main inhibitor of HbS polymerization, reducing hemolysis and vaso-occlusion. This study aimed to evaluate the association of polymorphisms BCL11A gene on the hemolysis markers reticulocytes, bilirubin, uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and methemoglobin (MetHb). The study included 45 patients with SCD of both sexes, in use of HU, attended in outpatient University Hospital Walter CantÃdio (HUWC) in Fortaleza, CearÃ, and 80 healthy individuals as a control group. The MetHb, uric acid and bilirubin dosage has performed by spectrophotometric method, the LDH by a kinetic method, the reticulocyte count by manual method and evaluation of BCL11A polymorphisms by PCR in real time. Data were analyzed using the statistical software GraphPad Prism. The level of significance was set at <5%. Patients with SCD and healthy subjects showed a difference between hematological parameters, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and platelets. Regarding the hemolysis parameters, it was observed that SCD patients has an increase of reticulocytes, MetHb, LDH and bilirubins compared to control group. The rs7557939 region showed an association with hemolysis biomarkers MetHb and LDH and rs4671393 region with the HbS concentration. The use of HU at doses higher than 10 mg/kg/day and for a longer period than 50 months had association with the decrease of the LDH concentration and the reticulocyte count. We conclude that polymorphisms on BCL11A gene and treatment with HU may modulate the hemolysis biomarkers, however, more research is necessary to study prognostic indicators and the factors involved in the clinical heterogeneity of SCD. === A anemia falciforme (AF) à uma doenÃa hematolÃgica causada por uma mutaÃÃo pontual no gene da &#946;-globina. A hemoglobina S (HbS) gerada devido à mutaÃÃo forma hemÃcias com menor meia-vida devido à sua destruiÃÃo crÃnica, sendo a principal responsÃvel pelos sinais e sintomas da doenÃa. Os polimorfismos do gene BLC11A e o uso de hidroxiurÃia (HU) modulam a concentraÃÃo de hemoglobina fetal (HbF), principal inibidora da polimerizaÃÃo da HbS, diminuindo a hemÃlise e a vaso-oclusÃo. O presente estudo teve o objetivo de associar os polimorfismos do gene BCL11A com os biomarcadores de hemÃlise reticulÃcitos, bilirrubinas, Ãcido Ãrico, lactato desidrogenase (LDH), e metemoglobina (MetHb). Participaram do estudo 45 pacientes com AF em uso de HU, de ambos os sexos, atendidos no ambulatÃrio de Hematologia do Hospital UniversitÃrio Walter CantÃdio (HUWC) em Fortaleza-Cearà e 80 indivÃduos saudÃveis como grupo controle. A dosagem de MetHb, de Ãcido Ãrico e bilirrubinas foi realizada atravÃs de mÃtodo espectrofotomÃtrico, a de LDH por mÃtodo cinÃtico, a contagem de reticulÃcitos por metodologia manual e a avaliaÃÃo dos polimorfismos do BCL11A por PCR em tempo real. Os dados obtidos foram analisados utilizando-se o programa estatÃstico GraphPad Prism. O nÃvel de significÃncia foi estabelecido em <5%. Pacientes com AF e indivÃduos saudÃveis apresentaram uma diferenÃa entre os parÃmetros hematolÃgicos hemoglobina, hematÃcrito, volume corpuscular mÃdio (VCM) e plaquetas. Em relaÃÃo aos parÃmetros de hemÃlise, observou-se que os pacientes com AF apresentaram um aumento de reticulÃcitos, MetHb, LDH e bilirrubinas (BT, BD, BI) em relaÃÃo ao grupo controle. A regiÃo rs7557939 do gene BCL11A apresentou uma associaÃÃo com os biomarcadores de hemÃlise MetHb e LDH e a regiÃo rs4671393 com a concentraÃÃo de HbS. O uso da HU em doses maiores que 10mg/kg/dia e por um perÃodo maior que 50 meses apresentou associaÃÃo com a diminuiÃÃo da concentraÃÃo de LDH e com a contagem de reticulÃcitos. Concluiu-se que polimorfismos no gene BCL11A e o tratamento com a HU podem modular os biomarcadores de hemÃlise, entretanto, mais pesquisas sÃo necessÃrias para estudar indicadores de prognÃstico e os fatores envolvidos na heterogeneidade clÃnica da AF.
