Given the rapidity of change, this is likely the result of major recent alterations in our exposures to environmental risk factors for these diseases. More evidence is becoming available that the evolution of autoimmune disease, years or even decades in the making, results from multiple exposures that alter susceptible genomes and immune systems over time. Exposures during sensitive phases in key developmental or hormonal periods may set the stage for the effects of later exposures. It is likely that synergistic and additive impacts of exposure mixtures result in chronic low-level inflammation. This inflammation may eventually pass thresholds that lead to immune system activation and autoimmunity, and with further molecular and pathologic changes, the complete clinical syndrome emerges. Much work remains to be done to define the mechanisms and risk and protective factors for autoimmune conditions. However, evidence points to a variety of pollutants, xenobiotics, infections, occupational exposures, medications, smoking, psychosocial stressors, changes in diet, obesity, exercise, and sleep patterns, as well as climate change impacts of increased heat, storms, floods, wildfires, droughts, UV radiation, malnutrition, and changing infections, as possible contributors.

We calculated multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) for hospitalized incident gout, before and after adjusting for serum urate levels; we included patients with nonhospitalized incident gout in a sensitivity analysis. Potential causal effects were evaluated with two-sample Mendelian randomization.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Correcting for multiple testing, 107 metabolites were associated with incidence of hospitalized gout (n = 2,735) before urate adjustment, including glycine and glutamine (glutamine HR 0.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54-0.75, P = 8.3 × 10<sup>-8</sup>; glycine HR 0.69, 95% CI 0.61-0.78, P = 3.3 × 10<sup>-9</sup> between extreme quintiles), and glycoprotein acetyls (HR 2.48, 95% CI 2.15-2.87, P = 1.96 × 10<sup>-34</sup>). Associations remained significant and directionally consistent following urate adjustment (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.70-0.98; HR 0.86, 95% CI 0.76-0.98; HR 1.41, 95% CI 1.21-1.63 between extreme quintiles), respectively; corresponding HRs per SD were 0.91 (95% CI 0.86-0.97), 0.94 (95% CI 0.91-0.98), and 1.10 (95% CI 1.06-1.14). Findings persisted when including patients with nonhospitalized incident gout. Mendelian randomization corroborated their potential causal role on hyperuricemia or gout risk; with change in urate levels of -0.05 mg/dL (95% CI -0.08 to -0.01) and -0.12 mg/dL (95% CI -0.22 to -0.03) per SD of glycine and glutamine, respectively, and odds ratios of 0.94 (95% CI 0.88-1.00) and 0.81 (95% CI 0.67-0.97) for gout.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These prospective findings with causal implications could lead to biomarker-based risk prediction and potential supplementation-based interventions with glycine or glutamine.</p>","PeriodicalId":8406,"journal":{"name":"Arthritis Care & Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142016228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
