GCH1 haplotype determines vascular and plasma biopterin availability in coronary artery disease effects on vascular superoxide production and endothelial function.


ABSTRACT: This study sought to determine the effects of endogenous tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) bioavailability on endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) coupling, nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, and vascular superoxide production in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).GTP-cyclohydrolase I, encoded by the GCH1 gene, is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of BH4, an eNOS cofactor important for maintaining enzymatic coupling. We examined the associations between haplotypes of the GCH1 gene, GCH1 expression and biopterin levels, and the effects on endothelial function and vascular superoxide production.Blood samples and segments of internal mammary arteries and saphenous veins were obtained from patients with CAD undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (n = 347). The GCH1 haplotypes were defined by 3 polymorphisms: rs8007267G
