Meta-analysis of RAGE gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease risk.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent data from human and animal studies have shown an upregulated expression of advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor (RAGE) in human atherosclerotic plaques 1 and in retina, messangial, and aortic vessels, suggesting an important role of RAGE in the pathogenesis of atherothrombotic diseases. In the past few years, the relationship between RAGE polymorphisms (-429T/C, -374T/A, and G82S) and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been reported in various ethnic groups; however, these studies have yielded contradictory results.

Methods

PubMed, ISI web of science, EMBASE and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases were systematically searched to identify relevant studies. Data were abstracted independently by two reviewers. A meta-analysis was performed to examine the association between RAGE polymorphisms and susceptibility to CHD. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated.

Results

A total of 17 studies including 4343 patients and 5402 controls were involved in this meta-analysis. Overall, no significant results were observed for -429T/C (OR = 1.01, 95% CI: 0.92-1.12, P = 0.78), -374T/A (OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 0.98-1.26, P = 0.09) and G82S (OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.86-1.45, P = 0.41) polymorphism. In the stratified analyses according to ethnicity, sample size, CHD endpoint and Hardy-Weinberg status, no evidence of any gene-disease association was obtained.

Conclusions

This meta-analysis demonstrates that there is no association between the RAGE -429T/C, -374T/A and G82S polymorphisms and CHD.

Project description:The receptor for advanced glycosylation end products (RAGE) has been widely linked to diabetic atherosclerosis, but its effects on coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke (IS) remain controversial. The Gly82Ser polymorphism is located in the ligand-binding V domain of RAGE, suggesting a possible influence of this variant on RAGE function. The aim of the present study is to clarify the association between the RAGE Gly82Ser polymorphism and susceptibility to CAD and IS.Eligible studies were identified through a comprehensive literature search. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to evaluate the association of Gly82Ser polymorphism with CAD and IS risk. Fixed- or random-effects model was used depending on the heterogeneity between studies. A funnel plot and Egger linear regression test were applied to assess publication bias. We also performed subgroup analyses to investigate potential sources of heterogeneity.A total of 16 eligible articles containing 18 studies were analyzed. The pooled analysis indicated that the Gly82Ser polymorphism significantly increased CAD risk in recessive and homozygous genetic models (SS vs GS?+?GG: OR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.09-1.64; SS vs GG: OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.12-1.71). A significant association between the Gly82Ser polymorphism and IS risk was observed in all tested models except the heterozygous genetic model (GS?+?SS vs GG: OR = 1.20, 95% CI = 1.04-1.38; SS vs GS?+?GG: OR = 2.20, 95% CI = 1.74-2.78; SS vs GG: OR = 2.23, 95% CI = 1.72-2.91; S vs G: OR = 1.32, 95% CI = 1.05-1.65). Subgroup analysis suggested an association between CAD and IS risk and the Gly82Ser polymorphism in the Chinese population, but not in the non-Chinese population.The current meta-analysis suggests that the RAGE Gly82Ser polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of CAD and IS, especially in the Chinese population. However, better-designed studies with larger sample sizes are needed to validate the results.
