Association of NLRP3 and CARD8 Inflammasome Polymorphisms With Aseptic Loosening After Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty

ABSTRACT Our aim was to investigate the association of inflammasome polymorphisms NLRP3 rs35829419 (p. Q705K) and CARD8 rs2043211 (p. C10X) with aseptic loosening of total hip endoprostheses. We asked whether patients with the loosening of total hip arthroplasty earlier than 15 years after primary i...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Our aim was to investigate the association of inflammasome polymorphisms NLRP3 rs35829419 (p. Q705K) and CARD8 rs2043211 (p. C10X) with aseptic loosening of total hip endoprostheses. We asked whether patients with the loosening of total hip arthroplasty earlier than 15 years after primary implantation had a higher proportion of the polymorphisms Q705K and C10X in comparison to subjects without loosening. A retrospective case–control study compared 36 patients with total hip endoprosthesis loosening earlier than 15 years after primary implantation and 51 control subjects with unloosened total hip endoprostheses, matched for gender, age, and follow‐up period. Buccal mucosa samples were used for genomic DNA analysis and genotyped for NLRP3 rs35829419 and CARD8 rs2043211 using a fluorescence‐based competitive allele‐specific real‐time polymerase chain reaction. The proportion of subjects with both wild‐type NLRP3 and CARD8 (i.e., without Q705K or C10X) was considerably higher in the control group when compared with patients with early total hip arthroplasty loosening (49% vs. 28%; p = 0.05). After adjustment for gender, age, and follow‐up, patients with combined wild type of both NLRP3 and CARD8 had significantly smaller odds for early implant loosening (odds ratio 0.33, p = 0.02). Investigated polymorphisms may influence several inflammatory pathways and contribute to the loosening of artificial implants with potential clinical significance for the appropriate selection of patients and endoprostheses when planning elective total hip arthroplasty. © 2019 Orthopaedic Research Society.
