Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Gene Insertion/Deletion Polymorphism and Vesicoureteral Reflux in Children: A Meta-Analysis of 14 Case-Control Studies.

ABSTRACT: Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common and serious urinary disease in children. It usually causes renal scar, urinary tract infection, and chronic renal failure. Previous studies showed the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism might be associated with VUR; however, the conclusions were inconsistent. Therefore we used the meta-analytic approach to clarify the effect of ACE I/D polymorphism on VUR risk.We systematically searched the PubMed, CNKI, and EMBASE databases to identify all the potentially related studies published up to February 4, 2015. Two reviewers independently selected studies and extracted data. The strength of the association was assessed using odd ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (CI) based on fixed or random effects model. The STATA 12.0 software was used for data analysis.A total of 14 case-control studies involving 1197 VUR patients and 1320 healthy controls met the eligibility criteria. Results of meta-analysis showed significant association between ACE I/D polymorphism and VUR risk (D vs. I: OR?=?1.28, 95% CI?=?1.06-1.54, P?=?0.01; DD vs. II: OR?=?1.44, 95% CI?=?1.12-1.85, P?=?0.01; DD vs. DI?+?II: OR?=?1.49, 95% CI?=?1.23-1.79, P?

Project description:ObjectiveA silencer region (I-allele) within intron 16 of the gene for the regulator of vascular perfusion, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), is implicated in phenotypic variation of aerobic fitness and the development of type II diabetes. We hypothesised that the reportedly lower aerobic performance in non-carriers compared to carriers of the ACE I-allele, i.e. ACE-DD vs. ACE-ID/ACE-II genotype, is associated with alterations in activity-induced glucose metabolism and capillarisation in exercise muscle.MethodsFifty-three, not-specifically trained Caucasian men carried out a one-legged bout of cycling exercise to exhaustion and/or participated in a marathon, the aim being to identify and validate genotype effects on exercise metabolism. Respiratory exchange ratio (RER), serum glucose and lipid concentration, glycogen, and metabolite content in vastus lateralis muscle based on ultra-performance lipid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS), were assessed before and after the cycling exercise in thirty-three participants. Serum metabolites were measured in forty subjects that completed the marathon. Genotype effects were assessed post-hoc.ResultsCycling exercise reduced muscle glycogen concentration and this tended to be affected by the ACE I-allele (p = 0.09). The ACE-DD genotype showed a lower maximal RER and a selective increase in serum glucose concentration after exercise compared to ACE-ID and ACE-II genotypes (+24% vs. +2% and -3%, respectively). Major metabolites of mitochondrial metabolism (i.e. phosphoenol pyruvate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, L-Aspartic acid, glutathione) were selectively affected in vastus lateralis muscle by exercise in the ACE-DD genotype. Capillary-to-fibre ratio was 24%-lower in the ACE-DD genotype. Individuals with the ACE-DD genotype demonstrated an abnormal increase in serum glucose to 7.7 mM after the marathon.ConclusionThe observations imply a genetically modulated role for ACE in control of glucose import and oxidation in working skeletal muscle. ACE-DD genotypes thereby transit into a pre-diabetic state with exhaustive exercise, which relates to a lowered muscle capillarisation, and deregulation of mitochondria-associated metabolism.
