Association of an allele on chromosome 9 and abdominal aortic aneurysm.

ABSTRACT: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) has been recognized as a multi-factorial disease with both genetic and environmental risk factors. A locus residing within non-coding DNA on chromosome 9p21.3 has recently been associated with AAA. To further investigate the significance of this site for AAA, we performed an association study on a large group of 3371 men aged 65-83 years of whom 513 had an AAA.All men were assessed for other risk factors in a uniform way and an ultrasound of the abdominal aorta was performed.Our findings validated the strong association of the chromosome 9p21.3 SNPs rs10757278 and rs1333049 with AAA and demonstrated the upregulation of LINE-1 elements at the site of AAA.This study confirms a reproducible association between risk alleles on chromosome 9p21.3 and AAA. We also provide preliminary evidence for an association of LINE-1 elements with AAA which will require further investigation.

An association between rs7635818 polymorphism located on chromosome 3p12.3 and the presence of abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Project description:The association between gene variant rs7635818 located on chromosome 3p12.3 and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) was not unambiguously determined by the results of genome-wide association studies. The aim of our study was to examine this possible association in the Slovak population, with respect to the presence and severity of AAA.A cross-sectional study was conducted between August 2016 and March 2020. The study included 329 participans, 166 AAA patients and a control group of 163 subjects without confirmed AAA with comparable distribution of genders. The anteroposterior diameter of the abdominal aorta was determined by duplex ultrasonography. AAA was defined as subrenal aortic diameter ≥ 30 mm. DNA samples were genotyped using real-time polymerase chain reaction and subsequent high-resolution melting analysis in presence of unlabelled probe. Genetic models studying the possible association were adjusted to age, sex, smoking, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, creatinine and body mass index (BMI) in multivariate analysis. In the additive model, presence of each C-allele of rs7635818 polymorphism was associated with an almost 50 % increase in probability of developing AAA (OR 1.49; 95 % CI 1.06-2.08; p=0.020). Compared to GG homozygotes, CC homozygotes had more than two times higher risk of developing AAA (OR 2.23; 95 % CI 1.14-4.39; p=0.020). The risk of AAA was also in the recessive model higher for CC homozygotes compared to G-allele carriers (GC/GG) (OR 1.79; 95 % CI 1.01-3.19; p=0.047).The abdominal aortic diameter in CC homozygotes of the rs7635818 polymorphism was 7.66 mm greater compared to GG homozygotes (42.5±22.0 mm vs 34.8±21.3 mm; p=0.022) and 5.88 mm greater compared to G-allele carriers (GC/GG) (42.5±22.0 mm vs 36.6±21.0 mm; p=0.04) in univariate analysis. C-allele variant in rs7635818 G>C polymorphism is associated with a higher probability of developing AAA in the Slovak population.

Association of PPARgamma allelic variation, osteoprotegerin and abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Project description:We have previously demonstrated high concentrations of the glycoprotein osteoprotegerin (OPG) in biopsies of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and demonstrated that ligation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) downregulates OPG in vitro and within a mouse model. The aims of this study were to assess the associations between circulating concentrations of OPG, polymorphisms of the gene encoding PPARgamma (PPARG), AAA presence and growth.Two genetic polymorphisms in PPARG were assessed in 4227 men, 699 of whom had an AAA. For 631 men, who had AAAs, maximum aortic diameter was monitored by yearly ultrasound for a median of 5 years. Plasma OPG was measured in 838 men, 318 of whom had an AAA.Plasma concentrations of OPG were independently associated with AAA (adjusted odds ratio 1.38, 95% CI 1.10-1.72). The PPARG c.1347C > T polymorphism was associated with plasma concentrations of OPG (beta 0.12, P < 0.01). The PPARG c.34G > C polymorphism was weakly associated with AAA (adjusted odds ratio 1.28, 95% CI 1.01-1.61). PPARG c.1347C > T was associated with increased AAA growth (recessive model, P = 0.03).Circulating concentrations of osteoprotegerin are associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm and with one peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma gene polymorphism. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma gene polymorphisms are weakly associated with abdominal aortic aneurysm presence and growth. Confirmation of these findings is required in other cohorts.

Genes and abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a multifactorial disease with a strong genetic component. Since the first candidate gene studies were published 20 years ago, approximately 100 genetic association studies using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in biologically relevant genes have been reported on AAA. These studies investigated SNPs in genes of the extracellular matrix, the cardiovascular system, the immune system, and signaling pathways. Very few studies were large enough to draw firm conclusions and very few results could be replicated in another sample set. The more recent unbiased approaches are family-based DNA linkage studies and genome-wide genetic association studies, which have the potential of identifying the genetic basis for AAA, only when appropriately powered and well-characterized large AAA cohorts are used. SNPs associated with AAA have already been identified in these large multicenter studies. One significant association was of a variant in a gene called contactin-3, which is located on chromosome 3p12.3. However, two follow-up studies could not replicate this association. Two other SNPs, which are located on chromosome 9p21 and 9q33, were replicated in other samples. The two genes with the strongest supporting evidence of contribution to the genetic risk for AAA are the CDKN2BAS gene, also known as ANRIL, which encodes an antisense ribonucleic acid that regulates expression of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors CDKN2A and CDKN2B, and DAB2IP, which encodes an inhibitor of cell growth and survival. Functional studies are now needed to establish the mechanisms by which these genes contribute toward AAA pathogenesis.

Association of the TGF-beta receptor genes with abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a multifactorial condition. The transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) pathway regulates vascular remodeling and mutations in its receptor genes, TGFBR1 and TGFBR2, cause syndromes with thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA). The TGF-beta pathway may be involved in aneurysm development in general. We performed an association study by analyzing all the common genetic variants in TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 using tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a Dutch AAA case-control population in a two-stage genotyping approach. In stage 1, analyzing 376 cases and 648 controls, three of the four TGFBR1 SNPs and nine of the 28 TGFBR2 SNPs had a P<0.07. Genotyping of these SNPs in an independent cohort of 360 cases and 376 controls in stage 2 confirmed association (P<0.05) for the same allele of one SNP in TGFBR1 and two SNPs in TGFBR2. Joint analysis of the 736 cases and 1024 controls showed statistically significant associations of these SNPs, which sustained after proper correction for multiple testing (TGFBR1 rs1626340 OR 1.32 95% CI 1.11-1.56 P=0.001 and TGFBR2 rs1036095 OR 1.32 95% CI 1.12-1.54 P=0.001 and rs4522809 OR 1.28 95% CI 1.12-1.46 P=0.0004). We conclude that genetic variations in TGFBR1 and TGFBR2 associate with AAA in the Dutch population. This suggests that AAA may develop partly by similar defects as TAA, which in the future may provide novel therapeutic options.

Cycloastragenol inhibit experimental abdominal aortic aneurysm progression

Project description:Abstract: The pathogenesis of AAA involves vascular inflammation and oxidative stress. Astragali Radix contains cycloastragenol (CAG) known to have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. We hypothesized that CAG supplement impairs AAA progression. AAA was induced in male rats by intraluminal elastase infusion in the infrarenal aorta and treated daily with CAG (125 mg/kg/day). Aortic expansion was followed weekly by ultrasound, with euthanization at day 28. Changes in AAA wall composition were analyzed at mRNA levels, histology, zymography and explorative proteomic analyses. At day 28, mean AAA diameter was 37% lower in CAG group (p<0.0001). In aneurysm cross sections, elastin content was insignificantly higher in CAG group (10.5% ± 5.9% vs 19.9% ± 16.8%, p=0.20) with more preserved elastin lamellae structures (p=0.0003) and with no microcalcifications. Aneurysmal matrix metalloprotease-2 activity was reduced by CAG treatment (p=0.022), and mRNA levels of inflammatory- and antioxidative markers showed no difference between groups. Explorative proteomic analysis showed no difference in protein levels when adjustment for multiple testing. Amongst unadjusted affected proteins were fibulin-5 (p=0.02), aquaporin-1 (p=0.02) and prostacyclin synthase (p=0.006). CAG impairs experimental AAA progression by reduction of elastin degradation through decreased MMP-2 activity, thus CAG could be considered tested in AAA patients.

Metabolomic Profile of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.

Project description:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is characterized by structural deterioration of the aortic wall, leading to aortic dilation and rupture. The aim was to compare 183 low molecular weight metabolites in AAA patients and aorta-healthy controls and to explore if low molecular weight metabolites are linked to AAA growth. Blood samples were collected from male AAA patients with fast (mean 3.3 mm/year; range 1.3-9.4 mm/year; n = 39) and slow growth (0.2 mm/year; range -2.6-1.1 mm/year; n = 40), and from controls with non-aneurysmal aortas (n = 79). Targeted analysis of 183 metabolites in plasma was performed with AbsoluteIDQ p180 kit. The samples were measured on a QTRAP 4500 coupled to an Agilent 1260 series HPLC. The levels of only four amino acids (histidine, asparagine, leucine, isoleucine) and four phosphatidylcholines (PC.ae.C34.3, PC.aa.C34.2, PC.ae.C38.0, lysoPC.a.C18.2) were found to be significantly lower (p < 0.05) after adjustment for confounders among the AAA patients compared with the controls. There were no differences in the metabolites distinguishing the AAA patients with slow or fast growth from the controls, or distinguishing the patients with slow growth from those with fast growth. The current study describes novel significant alterations in amino acids and phosphatidylcholines metabolism associated with AAA occurrence, but no associations were found with AAA growth rate.
