Association of TRPC1 gene polymorphisms with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy in Han Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: The recent genome-wide association studies reveal that chromosome 3q resides within the linkage region for diabetic nephropathy (DN) in type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T1D and T2D). The TRPC1 gene is on chromosome 3q22-24, and it has been demonstrated that TRPC1 expression is reduced in the kidney of diabetic animal models. Genetic association of TRPC1 polymorphism with T1D and DN has been reported in European Americans. However, there are no studies reporting the association of TRPC1 genetic polymorphism with T2D with and without DN in Chinese population. This study aimed to demonstrate the genetic role of TRPC1 in the development of T2D with and without DN in Chinese Han population. A genetic association study of TRPC1 was performed in T2D cases and in nondiabetic controls from Han population located in Northern Chinese areas. Six tag single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers derived from HapMap data were genotyped. Among the six SNPs, only rs7638459 was suspected as risk factor of T2D without DN, fitting the log-additive model. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for the CC genotyping was 2.39 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.00-5.68), compared with the TT genotyping. In addition, rs953239 was found to be a protective factor of getting DN in T2D, also fitting the log-additive model. When compared with the AA genotyping for SNP rs953239, the adjusted OR for CC genotyping was 0.63 (95% CI = 0.44-0.99). To summarize, this study shows that TRPC1 genetic polymorphisms are associated with T2D and DN in T2D in the Han Chinese population.

Project description:BackgroundFunctional mutations or polymorphisms affecting forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) can lead to their abnormal FOXP3 gene expression and/or defective Treg cells generation, thus resulting in autoimmune disease and inflammatory disorders. FOXP3 also plays a key role in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications, because the disease usually involves chronic low-grade inflammatory disorders and is associated with long-term immune system imbalance. This study aimed to investigate the association between FOXP3 polymorphisms and the susceptibility to T2DM and type 2 diabetes nephropathy (T2DN) within the Han Chinese populations.MethodsPolymorphisms in rs3761548C/A and rs2294021C/T were examined in 400 patients (which include an equal number of T2DM and T2DN groups) and 200 healthy controls using PCR-HRM and sequence analysis.ResultsThe genotype and allelic frequencies of the two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were significantly different in T2DM and the progression of diabetes developing to T2DN. The further gender-based evaluation showed that in female subjects, rs3761548C/A was associated with an approximately 3-fold higher threat for T2DM and 4.5-fold for T2DN, while there was no noticeable association with rs2294021C/T; in males, the promoter polymorphism showed an increased predisposition of 5.4-fold and 3.4-fold predisposition to T2DM and T2DN, respectively, while rs2294021 polymorphism could impart a nearly 2-fold risk of developing T2DN. An additional analysis of combined genotypes (rs3761548 C/A-rs2294021C/T) revealed that CC-CC and CC-CT can be considered protective combinations in the predisposition of males with diabetes towards T2DN, while AA-CC and AA-TT have the opposite effect.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the possible involvement of individual and combined genetic associations of rs3761548C/A and rs2294021C/T polymorphisms with the susceptibility to diabetes and diabetic nephropathy in the Han Chinese population, as well as gender bias.
