Cholesterol ester transfer protein, interleukin-8, peroxisome proliferator activator receptor alpha, and Toll-like receptor 4 genetic variations and risk of incident nonfatal myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke.

ABSTRACT: Variations in candidate genes participating in oxidative stress, inflammation, and their interactions are potentially associated with diseases of atherosclerotic origin. We investigated independent and joint associations of variations in cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP), interleukin-8 (IL8), peroxisome proliferator activator receptor-alpha (PPARA), and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) genes with incident nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) or ischemic stroke. In a population-based case-control study, patients (848 with MI and 368 with ischemic stroke) and controls (2,682) were recruited from postmenopausal women and hypertensive men/women who were members of Group Health in western Washington State. Common tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; n=34) representing gene-wide variations were selected from gene sequencing data using pairwise linkage disequilibrium. Haplotypes were inferred using a modified expectation maximization algorithm. Multivariate logistic regression evaluated individual haplotype and SNP-disease associations in log-additive models. Global haplotype tests assessed overall gene-disease associations. Logic regression was used to evaluate gene-gene interactions. False discovery rates and permutation tests were used for multiple testing adjustment in evaluating independent associations and interactions, respectively. Overall, gene-wide variations in PPARA and TLR4 genes were associated with MI. The minor allele of the PPARA SNP, rs4253623, was associated with a higher risk of MI (odds ratio 1.25, 95% confidence interval 1.08 to 1.46), whereas the minor allele of the TLR4 SNP, rs1927911, was associated with a lower risk of MI (odds ratio 0.88, 95% confidence interval 0.77 to 0.99). No within-gene or gene-gene interaction was associated with MI or ischemic stroke risk. In conclusion, potential SNP-disease associations identified in the present study are novel and need further investigation.

Project description:Dendritic cell (DC) activation induces expression of co-stimulatory surface molecules, as well as migration into secondary lymphoid organs, where they activate naïve T-cells. A family of plant derivatives, eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes, can regulate the immune system through DC targeting due to their anti-inflammatory effects. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR?) is involved in inhibition of inflammatory responses and induction of DCs to acquire a mucosal phenotype. Since mucosal DCs are central in innate immune responses, we hypothesized that eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes exerted their anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting DC maturation and activation through PPAR?. This study assessed the bicyclic eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpene compounds Fukinone and 10?H-8?,12-Epidioxyeremophil-7(11)-en-8?-ol (ZYFDC21 and ZYFDC22) in the maturation and activation of mouse DC. We measured surface expression of co-stimulatory molecules by flow cytometry and cell-free supernatant cytokine production upon lipopolysaccharide stimulation by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in the presence or absence of PPAR? agonists. DCs were generated from C57BL/6 mice bone marrow cells and harvested. Cells were exposed to bicyclic eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes ZYFDC21 or ZYFDC22 in the presence or absence of synthetic PPAR? agonists (GW1929 and TGZ) or the natural PPAR? ligand 15d-PGJ2, followed by overnight activation with LPS. We observed differences in the upregulation of surface expression of CD86, along with TNF, IL-6, and IL-12p70 released by DCs stimulated with LPS, when using combinations of bicyclic eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes ZYFDC21 or ZYFDC22, and PPAR? agonists, in particular the PPAR? ligand 15d-PGJ2. Our results indicate that bicyclic eremophilane-type petasite sesquiterpenes ZYFDC21 or ZYFDC22 inhibit maturation and activation of DC, and this activity is augmented upon PPAR? activation.
