Lack of association between matrix metalloproteinase 8 promoter polymorphism and bronchiectasis in Koreans.


ABSTRACT: The observation that human matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8 is over-expressed in ectatic bronchi in patients with bronchiectasis suggests that polymorphisms altering the expression of MMP-8 may contribute to the susceptibility to development of bronchiectasis. We evaluated the association between the presence of bronchiectasis in a Korean population and two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (-799C/ T and -381A/G) on the promoter region of the MMP-8 gene that are reported to alter the promoter activity and thereby the gene expression. Genotyping through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subsequent automatic sequencing was done in 167 patients with bronchiectasis and their age-, sex-matched healthy controls to reveal that only -799C/T is polymorphic among Koreans. In the patient group with bronchiectasis, the frequency of -799C/C, C/T, and T/T genotypes were 41.9%, 49.7%, and 8.4%, respectively. A similar distribution was observed in the control group: C/C (49.7%), C/T (43.1%), and T/T (7.2%) (p=0.36). In subgroup analysis, no significant difference was observed among the patients according to; the extent of disease (p=0.76), colonization of microorganisms (p=0.56), or association of mycobacteria (p=0.17). From these results, we conclude that -799C/T on the promoter region of MMP-8 lacks association with development of bronchiectasis in Koreans.
