The -7351C/T polymorphism in the TPA gene and ischemic stroke risk: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A number of studies assessed the association of tissue plasminogen activator(TPA) gene polymorphisms with ischemic stroke, but the results were contradictory. We aimed to explore the role of TPA -7351C/T SNP in the susceptibility to ischemic stroke through a meta-analysis.

Methods

The PubMed, MEDLINE, EMBASE, China Biological Medicine Database and WANFANG DATA databases were searched until August 2012. The strict selection criteria and exclusion criteria were determined, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of associations. Stroke subtype was determined using Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Treatment criteria (TOAST). Statistical analyses were performed using the STATA12.0 software.

Results

A total of 2,299 ischemic stroke cases and 1,948 controls in seven case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis. Significant association between -7351C/T polymorphism in the TPA gene and ischemic stroke was observed in all comparison models (TT+CT versus CC, TT versus CT+CC and T versus C). In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, TT homozygote carriers had a 142% increased risk of ischemic stroke compared with the C allele carriers among East-Asians (TT versus CT+CC: OR?=?2.42, 95% CI?=?1.07-5.48), but not in South-Asians and Caucasians, and significantly increased risks were found for T versus C among both East-Asians (OR?=?1.33, 95% CI?=?1.05-1.68) and Caucasians(OR?=?1.16, 95% CI?=?1.02-1.31). Further stratification for stroke subtype in three Caucasian studies showed the association between -7351C/T polymorphism and Large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA), but not Small-vessel occlusion (SVO) and Cardioembolism (CE).

Conclusions

This meta-analysis suggested that the -7351C/T polymorphism in TPA gene would be a risk factor for ischemic stroke, especially among East-Asians compared with Caucasians, but not in South-Asians, and it may play a role in the pathogenesis of LAA in Caucasians, but not in SVO and CE.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Endothelin (ET)-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide produced by endothelial cells and associated with vascular dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. Lys198Asn is a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of gene encoding ET-1 (EDN1). It is hypothesized that it might have a role in altering ET-1 and ultimately leading to vascular dysfunction and ischemic stroke. We therefore conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between Lys198Asn polymorphism of EDN1 gene and susceptibility of ischemic stroke. METHODS:This meta-analysis was conducted according to the guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement. We searched PubMed, Google Scholar, Embase, Web of Science, J-STAGE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) for relevant studies. The association between Lys198Asn polymorphism and ischemic stroke susceptibility was evaluated by calculating the pooled ORs and 95% CIs. RESULTS:Our analysis included 1,291 cases and 2,513 controls. Meta-analysis established a significant association between Lys198Asn SNP of EDN1 gene and ischemic stroke when assuming either recessive model (OR: 1.30; 95% CI: 1.02-1.65; p = .03; I2 = 41%) or dominant model (OR: 1.48; 95% CI: 1.24-1.76; p < .001; I2 = 61%). There was no evidence of publication bias in either of the recessive model (Egger test: p = .23; Begg test: p = .85) or dominant model (Egger test: p = .79; Begg test: p = .85). A subgroup analysis based on subtypes of ischemic stroke showed that Lys198Asn SNP was only associated with large vessel infarction but not with lacunar infarction caused by small vessel disease. A subgroup analysis based on ethnicity revealed that the Lys198Asn polymorphism of the EDN1 gene was associated with ischemic stroke only in Caucasians. CONCLUSIONS:The present meta-analysis suggests that Lys198Asn polymorphism of EDN1 gene is associated with an increased risk for ischemic stroke.
