Single nucleotide polymorphisms in protein tyrosine phosphatase 1beta (PTPN1) are associated with essential hypertension and obesity.

ABSTRACT: Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1beta (PTP-1beta) is involved in the regulation of several important physiological pathways. It regulates both insulin and leptin signaling, and interacts with the epidermal- and platelet-derived growth factor receptors. The gene is located on human chromosome 20q13, and several rare single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been shown to be associated with insulin resistance and diabetes in different populations. As part of our ongoing investigations into the genetic basis of hypertension, we examined common sequence variants in the gene for association with hypertension, obesity and altered lipid profile in two populations of Japanese and Chinese descent. We re-sequenced all exons, selected intronic sequences and the promoter region in 24 individuals from our cohort. Fourteen SNPs were discovered, and six of these spanning 78 kb were genotyped in 1553 individuals from 672 families. All six SNPs were in linkage disequilibrium, and we found strong association of common risk haplotypes with hypertension in Chinese and Japanese (P<0.0001). In addition, individual SNPs showed association to total plasma cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and VLDL-cholesterol levels, as well as obesity measures (body mass index). This analysis supports that PTP-1beta affects plasma lipid levels, and may lead to obesity and hypertension in Japanese and Chinese. Given similar associations found in other populations to insulin resistance and diabetes, this gene may play a crucial role in the development of the characteristic metabolic changes seen in patients with the metabolic syndrome.

Project description:AimTo access the association of forty-eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified from Caucasian population with steroid-induced ocular hypertension (OHT) in India population.MethodsFifty-four triamcinolone-acetonide (TA) and forty-seven dexamethasone (Dex) administered subjects were enrolled in the study after a written consent. Intraocular pressure (IOP) values were recorded for a period of 6-month post steroid injections and patients were grouped as steroid-responders (SR: IOP≥21 mm Hg) and non-responders (NR: IOP≤20 mm Hg). Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral venous blood. Forty-eight SNPs identified in TA treated Caucasian patients by genome wide association study (GWAS) were genotyped using iPLEX™ MassARRAY among TA as well as Dex administered Indian patients. Genotyping data of 48 general subjects from a previous study were considered as reference controls for statistical analysis. Genotypic frequencies were calculated and P-value, Chi-square and odds ratio at 95% confidence-interval of group A (steroid treated vs controls), group B (SR vs NR), group C (phenotype correlation: influence of time, severity and gender on IOP rise), were calculated. P<0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.ResultsOHT was observed in 50% of TA and 26% of Dex administered patients, respectively. IOP rise was mostly severe (>30 mm Hg) and immediate (<1wk) among TA-SR patients while it was noticed to be mild (<30 mm Hg) and between 1-2mo among Dex-SR patients. Logistic regression for risk factor correlation with OHT remained non-significant, hence these factors were not considered as confounding parameters for further analysis. rs133, rs34016742, rs274554, rs10936746, rs274547, rs804854, rs7751500, rs359498, and rs7547448 SNPs significantly varied even after Bonferroni corrections (P<0.0025; group A). rs1879370 (TA) and rs6559662 (Dex) were significantly (P<0.05) associated with OHT (group B). rs133 (severe IOP rise), rs11047639 and rs1879370 (male gender), and rs11171569 (immediate IOP rise) significantly (P<0.05) influenced the phenotype correlation only among TA-OHT patients. However, the significance of these SNPs in group B and phenotype analysis (group C) was lost upon Bonferroni corrections (P<0.0025).ConclusionPrevalence of OHT in study population is observed to be similar to other studies both in TA and Dex treated patients. We can correlate rs34016742 involved in diabetes signaling pathway to the occurrence of ocular edematous and inflammatory conditions. Except rs133 that is involved in neuro-degeneration and myopia occurrence, none of the other SNPs identified in Caucasian population possess any correlation with OHT incidence in TA and Dex administered Indian subjects.

Project description:Obesity may aggravate the effects of sarcopenia on skeletal muscle structure and function in the elderly, but no study has attempted to identify the gene variants associated with sarcopenia in obese women. Therefore, the aims of the present study were to: (1) describe neuromuscular function in sarcopenic and non-sarcopenic women with or without obesity; (2) identify gene variants associated with sarcopenia in older obese women. In 307 Caucasian women (71 ± 6 years, 66.3 ± 11.3 kg), skeletal muscle mass was estimated using bioelectric impedance, and function was tested with a 30 s one-leg standing-balance test. Biceps brachii thickness and vastus lateralis cross-sectional area (VLACSA) were measured with B-mode ultrasonography. Handgrip strength, maximum voluntary contraction elbow flexion (MVCEF), and knee extension torque (MVCKE) were measured by dynamometry, and MVCKE/VLACSA was calculated. Genotyping was performed for 24 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), selected based on their previous associations with muscle-related phenotypes. Based on sarcopenia and obesity thresholds, groups were classified as sarcopenic obese, non-sarcopenic obese, sarcopenic non-obese, or non-sarcopenic non-obese. A two-way analysis of covariance was used to assess the main effects of sarcopenia and obesity on muscle-related phenotypes and binary logistic regression was performed for each SNP to investigate associations with sarcopenia in obesity. There were no significant obesity * sarcopenic status interactions for any of the investigated muscle-related phenotypic parameters. Neither sarcopenia nor obesity had a significant effect on biceps brachii thickness, but sarcopenia was associated with lower VLACSA (p = 0.003). Obesity was associated with lower MVCEF (p = 0.032), MVCKE (p = 0.047), and MVCKE/VLACSA (p = 0.012) with no significant effect of sarcopenia. Adjusted for age and height, three SNPs (ACTN3 rs1815739, MTHFR rs1801131, and MTHFR rs1537516) were associated with sarcopenia in obese participants. Sarcopenia was associated with a smaller muscle size, while obesity resulted in a lower muscle quality irrespective of sarcopenia. Three gene variants (ACTN3 rs1815739, MTHFR rs1801131, and MTHFR rs1537516) suspected to affect muscle function, homocysteine metabolism, or DNA methylation, respectively, were associated with sarcopenia in obese elderly women. Understanding the skeletal muscle features affected by sarcopenia and obesity, and identification of genes related to sarcopenia in obese women, may facilitate early detection of individuals at particular risk of sarcopenic obesity.

Project description:ObjectiveTo study the correlation of β2-AR gene 5'-regulatory region SNPs and essential hypertension (EH) in Chinese Kazakh ethnic minority group.MethodsThe Sequenom MassArray(®) SNP detection technology was used to detect β2-AR gene 5'-regulatory region SNPs in 150 Xinjiang Kazakh EH patients and 150 controls. Biochemical analyzer was used to detect lipid and other related biochemical parameters. SHEsis and other software were used to analyze linkage disequilibrium and haplotype.ResultsSix loci rs205304 (-1023G/A), rs17108803 (-893T/G), rs12654778 (-654G/A), rs11168070 (-468C/G), rs11959427 (-367C/T) and rs2895795 (-1429T/A) polymorphisms of β2-AR gene 5'-regulatory region were found in the Xinjiang Kazakh populations. While, there was no significant difference between EH group and NH in genotypes and allele frequency of rs2053044, rs12654778, rs2895795, rs17108803 and rs11959427 (P>0.05). However; significant differences were detected of rs11168070 genotypes and allele frequency in two groups (P<0.05). Analysis of the linkage disequilibrium and haplotype in Kazakh population, there is a strong linkage disequilibrium of rs11168070, rs2053044, rs2895795 gene polymorphism in the EH group, and rs11168070, rs12654778, rs17108803 gene polymorphism in controls. Frequency of haplotype GTCCAT, GACTGT and ATGCGT in EH group was higher (P<0.05), while frequency of ATCTGT, ATGTGT, GTCCGT, GTCTAT, GACCAT and GTCTGT in the EH group was significantly lower than the control (P<0.05).Conclusionsβ2-AR gene 5'-regulatory region of rs11168070, rs2053044, rs17108803, rs12654778, rs11959427 and rs2895795 genetic polymorphism exists in Kazakh. Among them, rs11168070 locus genotype and allele frequency distribution in the two groups are significant differences. In six polymorphic loci, there is a strong linkage disequilibrium, which haplotypes GTCCAT, GACTGT, ATGCGT are risk factors of EH, and the ATCTGT, ATGTGT, GTCCGT, GTCTAT, GACCAT, GTCTGT are protective factors.
