Peripheral-blood gene expression profiling studies for coronary artery disease and its severity in Xinjiang population in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Alterations in gene expression in peripheral blood cells play a curtail role in the presence and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD), but its severity reflected by gene expression alterations in peripheral blood cells is still unknown in Xinjiang population in China.

Methods

Global gene expression profiling in peripheral blood was used to explore differentially expressed genes in coronary artery stenosis patients. RNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 9 controls without coronary stenosis and 21 cases with angiographically CAD. The extent of CAD severity was categorized angiographically as no CAD, mild CAD (20 to 50% luminal diameter stenosis [LDS]), moderate CAD (50 to 75% LDS) and severe CAD (?75% LDS). Differentially expressed genes related with CAD severity from peripheral blood cells were screened by linear mixed effects analysis using the lme4 package in R. Then the differentially expressed genes that gradually up-regulated or down-regulated were enriched by Gene Ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis.

Results

The most significantly enrichments were toll-like receptor signaling pathway, immune responses, translational processes, cellular growth, inflammation and metabolic processes. Combined with NCBI-GeneRIF and PubMed analysis, we focused on the 12 genes associated with toll-like receptor signaling pathway in the extent of coronary artery stenosis patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of 12 genes associated with toll-receptor signaling pathway in the 236 CAD patients from GEO database demonstrated that 12 genes expression could predict severe CAD with an area under the curve of 0.67, sensitivity of 77.65% and specificity of 51.52%.

Conclusion

These results suggest that 12 genes associated with toll-like receptor signaling pathway in peripheral-blood cells reflect the presence and extent of CAD severity in Xinjiang population in China.

Project description:Lipoprotein(a) is a well-known independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and primarily determined by variation in the LPA gene coding for the apolipoprotein(a) moiety. Our study purpose was to evaluate the association between the human LPA gene polymorphisms and CAD in Han and Uyghur populations in Xinjiang, China. A case-control study was conducted with 831 Han people (392 CAD patients and 439 control subjects) and 829 Uygur people (513 CAD patients and 316 control subjects). All participants were genotyped for the same 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs1801693, rs6923877, and rs9364559) of the LPA gene by a Real-time PCR instrument. In CAD patients, the levels of lipoprotein(a) were significantly higher in the Han population with the C/C genotype at the rs1801693 (P = .018) and the A/A genotype at the rs9364559 (P = .029) than in the Uyghur population. The polymorphisms rs1801693, rs6923877, and rs9364559 were found to be associated with CAD in the Han population. For men, the distribution of rs1801693 in genotypes, alleles and recessive model (CC vs CT + TT) showed a significant difference (all P < .05), and the difference in recessive model was retained after adjustment for covariates (odds ratio [OR]: 0.557, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.355-0.874, P = .011). But the distribution of rs6923877 in genotypes and dominant model (GG vs AG + AA) showed a significant difference (both P < .05) in both men and women, and the difference was kept in dominant model after adjustment (OR: 1.473, 95% CI:1.009-2.148, P = .045). For women, a significant difference was found in the distribution of rs9364559 in the alleles and dominant model (AA vs AG + GG) (for alleles: P = .021, for dominant model: P = .025, OR: 0.560, 95% CI:0.350-0.898, P = .016) after adjustment. Polymorphisms rs1801693, rs6923877, and rs9364559 of the LPA gene are associated with CAD in the Han population in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China.
