Association between rs1761667 polymorphism of CD36 gene and risk of coronary atherosclerosis in Egyptian population.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Recent studies have demonstrated that CD36 is involved in the progression of atherosclerosis. Associations between rs1761667 polymorphisms of the CD36 gene and susceptibility to coronary artery disease (CAD) are not obvious. METHODS:We studied the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs1761667 of CD36 gene and the risk of coronary atherosclerosis in a case-control study composed of 71 CAD patients and 76 healthy controls by assessment of allele frequencies and genotype distributions using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and the allele discrimination technique. Additionally, we detected CD36 expression by flow cytometry. RESULTS:The distribution of rs1761667 genotypes between the two groups was significantly different (P<0.001), with the frequency of the AG genotype being significantly higher in the CAD group than in the control group (P<0.001). The expression level of CD36 in the CAD group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.001), with significant differences in the CAD patients with an AG genotype compared with those with an AA and GG genotype (P<0.001). The plasma levels (mg/dL) of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the CAD group were much higher than that in the control group (P<0.001). On the other hand, the plasma LDL levels in CAD patients with the AG genotype were remarkably higher than those with the GG and AA genotypes (P=0.046) and AG genotype was significantly more prevalent among type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) patients (P<0.05). After adjusted logistic regression analysis, the AG genotype of rs1761667 was associated with an increased risk of CAD (OR=17.97, 95% CI, 3.19-87.85, P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS:The AG genotype of the rs1761667 polymorphism in the CD36 gene may be involved in CAD pathogenesis as well as increased body mass index (BMI), T2DM and MetS in the Sohag population of Egypt.

Project description:Abstract Objectives Nonalcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the considerable health problems in the world. NAFLD is a representative phenotype in the liver reflecting individual's lifestyle. Previous studies suggested that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CD36 gene was associated with dietary fat intake and fat metabolism. Therefore, we hypothesized that this SNP may be associated with fatty liver (FL) and NAFLD. We conducted this cross-sectional study to examine the association between two CD36 polymorphisms (rs1761667 and rs1527483) and FL and NAFLD in a Japanese population. Methods A total of 525 local residents participated in the health check-up in Yakumo town, Hokkaido, Japan. This cross-sectional study was conducted based on clinical information collected in this health check-up. Among all participants, 57 people were excluded due to the inadequate informed consent, clinical history of liver disease. Genotyping of two polymorphisms in the CD36 gpgbrkkene was performed by using the PCR-CTPP method. Ultrasound examination was performed by four qualified ultrasonographers. In this present, NAFLD was defined as 1) presence of FL and 2) a daily alcohol consumption <10 g in women and <20 g in men. Multivariable regression analysis was performed after adjusting for age, sex, waist circumference, medicine for dyslipidemia. Results The mean age of participants was 63.4 (10.0). The minor allele frequency of rs1761667 and rs1527483 was 0.26 and 0.21, respectively. The presence of FL and NAFLD was 90 (19.2%) and 67 (14.3%), respectively. Multiple regression analyses showed a significant association between rs1761667 and presence of FL (P = 0.04), and FL grade (P = 0.03). However, rs1761667 was not significantly associated with NAFLD (P = 0.11). No significant associations were found between rs1527483 and FL and NAFLD. Conclusions A polymorphism (rs1761667) in the CD36 gene was associated with the presence of FL, but we did not find a significant association between this SNP and NAFLD.

Project description:Rationale: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been independently associated with non-calcified, high-risk coronary plaques in low-to intermediate risk subjects. Recently, a bidirectional communication was shown between EAT and diseased coronary arteries. In high-risk patients it is unknown whether quantitative measures of EAT can capture, and which molecular players are involved in this mutual interplay. Objective: In a high-risk population, we aimed to determine how the volume of EAT is linked to coronary artery disease (CAD) and to identify potential EAT-deregulated pathways in CAD patients specifically related to coronary artery calcification (CAC). Methods and Results: In a prospective cohort of 574 degenerative severe aortic stenosis patients referred to cardiac surgery, we quantified fat depots by computed tomography (CT) and performed a comparative quantitative proteomics of thoracic fat, including EAT, mediastinal (MAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissues. We did not find an independent association of EAT volume with the severity, distribution and complexity of coronary stenosis in invasive coronary angiography. Although, EAT volume was correlated with high CAC, its cardiovascular risk factors-adjusted association was not significant. Taking as reference non-CAD matched-patients and compared to MAT and SAT, EAT proteomic signature of CAD was characterized by up-regulation of pro-calcifying annexins (Annexin A2, ANXA2), fatty acid binding transporters (FABP4) and inflammatory signaling proteins, and by down-regulation of fetuin-A and redox state regulatory enzymes. In EAT, ANXA2 regulation was positively correlated with CAC. EAT gene expression studies confirmed overexpression of ANXA2 and FABP4 in CAD, but no expression of FETUA was detected. Compared with non-CAD, fetuin-A circulating levels were higher in CAD, whereas no fetuin-A pericardial fluid differences were found. Conclusions: In this high-risk cohort, EAT presented an imbalance of pro-calcifying, pro-inflammatory and lipid transporters mediators. These local EAT-mediated regulatory mechanisms were not reflected by the CT volume of EAT alone.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Angiotensinogen (AGT) constitutes a central component of the renin-angiotensin system that controls the systemic blood pressure and several other cardiovascular functions and may play an important role in atherosclerosis pathways. In this study, we employed TaqMan genotyping assays to evaluate the role of 8 AGT variants in primary hypertension (HTN), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and obesity as a possible trigger of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a population of 4615 angiographed native Saudi individuals. METHODS: Linkage analysis was done by using the Affymetrix Gene Chip array, sequencing by using the MegaBACE DNA analysis system and genotyping accomplished by TaqMan chemistry using the Applied Biosystem real-time Prism 7900HT Sequence Detection System. RESULTS: Six variants, rs2067853 GG [Odds ratio(95% Confidence Interval) = 1.44(1.17-1.78); p = 0.001], rs7079 [1.49(1.20-1.85); p < 0.0001], rs699 G [1.19(1.08-1.13); p < 0.0001], rs3789679 A [1.51(1.14-1.99); p = 0.004], rs2148582 GG [1.31(1.11-1.55); p = 0.002] and rs5051 TC + CC [1.32(1.13-1.60); p = 0.001] conferred risk for HTN (3521 cases versus 1094 controls). The rs2067853 (p = 0.042), rs699G (p = 0.007) and rs5051 (p = 0.051) also conferred risk for myocardial infarction (MI; 2982 vs 1633), while rs3789679 A (p < 0.0001) and GA + AA (p < 0.0001) as well as rs4762G (p = 0.019) were associated with obesity (1576 vs 2458). However, while these variants appeared to be also associated with CAD (2323 vs 2292), only the rs7079G (p = 0.035) retained its significant relationship. Interestingly, among the haplotypes constructed from these SNPs, the baseline 8-mer haplotype, GGTGGGGT (?² = 7.02; p = 0.0081) and another GGCGGAGT (?² = 5.10; p = 0.024), together with several of their derivatives were associated with HTN. T2DM was associated with two 8-mer haplotypes, GGTAGGAC (?2 = 5.66; p = 0.017) and ATTGAGAC (?² = 5.93; p = 0.015), obesity with GGCGGAGT (?² = 9.49; p = 0.0021) and MI was linked to ATTGGGAC (?² = 6.68; p = 0.010) and GGTGGGAT (?² = 4.25; p = 0.039). Furthermore, several causative haplotypes were also shared among the risk traits as well as with CAD. CONCLUSION: These results point to AGT as independently conferring risk for various cardiovascular traits, and possibly interacting with these traits in events leading to atherosclerosis.
