Association of CYP17A1 Genetic Polymorphisms and Susceptibility to Essential Hypertension in the Southwest Han Chinese Population.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND The CYP17A1 gene encodes for cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP17A1, which is involved with the steroidogenic pathway including mineralocorticoids. The CYP17A1 polymorphisms might affect enzyme activity, then leading to a state of mineralocorticoid 11-deoxycorticosterone excess characterized by hypertension, suppressed plasma renin activity, and low aldosterone concentrations. The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of CYP17A1 polymorphisms in inducing the susceptibility to essential hypertension among the Southwest Han Chinese population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms of CYP17A1 were genotyped in a case-control study for samples by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. RESULTS The polymorphisms rs11191548 and rs4919687 were significantly associated with hypertension risk, which was confirmed by systolic and diastolic blood pressure distribution analyses between different genotype groups, and these two polymorphisms were found in linkage disequilibrium. The rs4919687 polymorphism was estimated to cause the destruction of exonic splicing silencer (ESR and Motif 3) sites and to transform the transcription factor AREB6 binding site, respectively, in the bioinformatics analyses. The haplotypes rs4919686A-rs3740397G -rs4919687C-rs743572C-rs11191548C and rs4919686A-rs3740397G-rs4919687T-rs743572C- rs11191548T were found to be susceptible to essential hypertension. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the CYP17A1 polymorphisms could be a genetic risk factor for essential hypertension among the Yunnan Han Chinese population, which would have implications for the treatment of this complex disorder.

Project description:BACKGROUND:To assess the association of the interaction between the rs9619311 and rs402007 polymorphisms and smoking with essential hypertension (EH) in a Chinese Han population. METHOD:Peripheral blood samples were extracted from 422 EH patients and 280 normotensive (NT) patients in a Chinese Han population. A whole blood genomic DNA extraction kit was used to extract genomic DNA from the blood samples. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to detect the rs402007 polymorphism of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type motifs 1 gene and the rs9619311 polymorphism of the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 gene. The distributions of the genotypes and alleles between the 2 study groups (EH and NT) were compared. The main risk factors for EH were determined by using logistic regression analysis. The effects of gene-gene and gene-smoking interactions on EH were analyzed using multifactor dimensional reduction. RESULTS:The frequencies of the rs402007 GC?+?CC genotype and the C allele were significantly different between the EH and NT groups (0.68 vs 0.57, ??=?8.99, P?=?.003, odds ratio [OR]?=?1.19; 0.45 vs 0.32, ??=?22.16, P < .001, OR?=?1.38). The frequencies of the rs9619311 TC?+?CC genotype and the C allele were also significantly different between the 2 groups (0.33 vs 0.25, ??=?4.51, P?=?.04, OR?=?1.44; 0.18 vs 0.13, ??=?7.03, P?=?.01, OR?=?1.50). Logistic regression analysis suggests that the rs402007 and rs9619311 polymorphisms are independent risk factors for EH (OR?=?2.37, 1.86; P < .001, respectively). The multifactor dimensionality redundant analysis results showed that the interaction among rs402007, rs9619311, and smoking was statistically significant (P?=?.001). CONCLUSIONS:A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type motifs 1 rs402007 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 rs9619311 polymorphisms are associated with EH in a Chinese Han population, and there was a positive interaction among rs402007, rs9619311, and smoking.
