Toll-like receptor 4 rs11536889 is associated with angiographic extent and severity of coronary artery disease in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a key modulator in many inflammation-related diseases. Polymorphisms in the TLR4 gene may alter TLR4 expression and affect the extent and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). We analyzed 3 polymorphisms of TLR4 in 607 Chinese subjects who underwent coronary arteriography. Blood samples were collected to identify the polymorphisms. We evaluated the relationships between the polymorphisms and the number of vessels involved in coronary stenosis, Gensini scores, and Duke prognostic scores. We found that rs11536889 was associated with an increased risk of 3-vessel disease. When subjects with 3-vessel disease were compared to subjects with nonsignificant CAD, rs11536889 variant genotypes were associated with an increased risk of 3-vessel disease (GC/CC vs. GG: OR=2.06, 95%CI=1.21-3.51). When subjects with 3-vessel disease were compared to subjects with 1-vessel disease, rs11536889 variant genotypes were associated with an increased risk of 3-vessel disease (GC vs. GG: OR=2.14, 95%CI=1.20-3.79; GC/CC vs. GG: OR=2.06, 95%CI=1.20-3.54). When subjects with 3-vessel disease were compared to subjects with non-3-vessel disease, rs11536889 variant genotypes were associated with an increased risk of 3-vessel disease (GC vs. GG: OR=1.76, 95%CI=1.12-2.75; GC/CC vs. GG: OR=1.83, 95%CI=1.19-2.82). The TLR4 rs11536889 polymorphism was also related to Gensini score (P=0.02). The Gensini score was higher in subjects with the variant CC and GC/CC genotype than in subjects with the wild GG genotype (61.28± 1.84 and 57.64±34.82 vs. 51.27±34.57). Our results demonstrate that TLR4 rs11536889 polymorphism is a novel genetic factor in the development of CAD, influencing the extent and severity of CAD.

Project description:ObjectiveFibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a circulating regulator of phosphate and vitamin D metabolism and is associated with coronary artery calcification, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to determine whether circulating FGF23 concentration is independently associated with the severity and extent of coronary artery disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography.MethodA cross-sectional design was used to examine the relationship between serum FGF23 and the severity and extent of coronary artery stenosis in 2076 patients undergoing coronary angiography (1263 male and 813 female, mean aged 62.5 years). Subgroup analyses were performed to assess the associations between FGF23 and coronary arterial plaque characteristics evaluated by intravascular ultrasound and 12-month incidence of target vessel revascularization (TVR) and target lesion revascularization (TLR).FindingsWe found a stepwise increase of serum FGF23 concentrations in patients with mild, moderate, severe stenosis or with increased number of stenotic vessels compared with those without stenosis (P<0.001). Serum FGF23 concentration was positively correlated with stenosis scores as the global index of the severity and extent of coronary artery stenosis in both male and female (r = 0.315 and r = 0.291, P<0.001). In multiple regression analyses, serum FGF23 concentration was a significant determinant of the stenosis scores independent of other traditional risk factors (standardized β = 0.326, P<0.001). Furthermore, subgroup analyses found FGF23 was significantly associated with plaque and dense calcium volumes. Multiple logistic regression analyses showed that serum FGF23 levels were significantly independent predictors of TVR and TLR.ConclusionsWe report an independent association between circulating FGF23 concentration and the severity and extent of coronary artery stenosis in the coronary angiographic patients. Future studies are needed to elucidate the potential biological mechanisms and whether FGF23 is a modifiable cardiovascular risk factor.
