Genetic variations in ADIPOQ gene are associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Adiponectin is reported to be related to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Genetic variants in the gene encoding adiponectin (ADIPOQ) have been reported to be associated with adiponectin level in several genome-wide linkage and association studies. However, relatively little is known about the effects of ADIPOQ gene variants on COPD susceptibility. We determined the frequencies of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ADIPOQ in a Chinese Han population and their possible association with COPD susceptibility.

Methods

We conducted a case-control study of 279 COPD patients and 367 age- and gender-distribution-matched control subjects. Seven tagging SNPs in ADIPOQ, including rs710445, rs16861205, rs822396, rs7627128, rs1501299, rs3821799 and rs1063537 were genotyped by SNaPshot. Association analysis of genotypes/alleles and haplotypes constructed from these loci with COPD was conducted under different genetic models.

Results

The alleles or genotypes of rs1501299 distributed significantly differently in COPD patients and controls (allele: P?=?0.002, OR?=?1.43 and 95%CI?=?1.14-1.79; genotype: P?=?0.008). The allele A at rs1501299 was potentially associated with an increased risk of COPD in all dominant model analysis (P?=?0.009; OR: 1.54; 95%CI: 1.11-2.13), recessive model analyses (P?=?0.015; OR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.11-2.75) and additive model analyses (P?=?0.003; OR: 2.11; 95% CI: 1.29-3.47). In haplotype analysis, we observed haplotypes AAAAACT and GGACCTC had protective effects, while haplotypes AGAACTC, AGGCCTC, GGAACTC, GGACACT and GGGCCTC were significantly associated with the increased risk of COPD.

Conclusions

We conducted the first investigation of the association between the SNPs in ADIPOQ and COPD risk. Our current findings suggest that ADIPOQ may be a potential risk gene for COPD. Further studies in larger groups are warranted to confirm our results.

Project description:ObjectiveChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) share a number of common risk factors, including innate immunity-related genetic factors. In the present study, we compared the role of genetic variations of the TLR4 gene in susceptibility to COPD and PTB and illuminated the underlying molecular mechanism of functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).MethodsA population-based case control study was performed in a Chinese Han population and included 152 COPD cases, 1601 PTB cases and 1727 controls. Five SNPs in the TLR4 gene (rs10759932, rs2737190, rs7873784, rs11536889, and rs10983755) were genotyped using TaqMan allelic discrimination technology. We estimated the effects of SNPs using the odds ratio (OR) together with 95% confidence interval (CI). Dual-luciferase reporter vectors expressing different genotypes of SNPs were constructed and transfected into the human HEK 293 T cell line to explore their effects on potential transcription activity.ResultsAfter Bonferroni correction, the genetic polymorphisms of all five SNPs remained significantly associated with COPD, while rs10759932 and rs2737190 were also associated with PTB. Compared with rs10759932-TT, individuals carrying TC (OR: 0.42, 95% CI: 0.28-0.64) or CC (OR: 0.24, 95% CI: 0.09-0.63) had a significantly reduced risk of COPD. However, individuals carrying TC (OR: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.11-1.49) or CC (OR: 1.26, 95% CI: 0.98-1.62) had an increased risk of PTB. The OR (95% CI) for allele rs10759932-C was 0.45 (0.32-0.62) for COPD and 1.18 (1.07-1.32) for PTB. For rs2737190, heterozygous AG was related to a decreased risk of COPD (OR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.21-0.49) and an increased risk of PTB (OR: 1.30, 95% CI: 1.11-1.52). The dual-luciferase reporter assay showed decreased transcription activity caused by rs10759932-C and rs2737190-G.ConclusionGenetic polymorphisms of rs10759932 and rs2737190 in TLR4 are significantly related to both COPD and PTB but with inverse effects. The altered transcription activity caused by mutations in these two loci may partly explain the observed relationship.
