Association of ACE2 polymorphisms with susceptibility to essential hypertension and dyslipidemia in Xinjiang, China.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Cardiovascular benefits by reversing environmental risks factors for essential hypertension (EH) and dyslipidemia could be weaken by high genetic risk. We investigated possible associations between ACE2 polymorphisms and dyslipidemia in patients with EH. METHODS:Four hundred and two hypertensive patients were enrolled in an EH group and 233 normotensive individuals were enrolled as control group from the Xinjiang region of China. Fourteen ACE2 polymorphisms were genotyped by Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. RESULTS:Participants carrying T allele (TT?+?CT) of rs2074192 (P?=?0.006), rs4646155 (P?=?0.030) and rs4646188 (P?

Project description:Essential hypertension (EH) is a principal contributing factor in worldwide cardiovascular disease mortality. Although interventions that minimize environmental risk factors for EH are associated with reduced cardiovascular disease, such approaches are limited for individuals with high genetic EH risk. In this study, we investigated possible associations between ACE2 polymorphisms and hypertension-related target organ damages in south Xinjiang, China. Four hundred and two hypertensive patients were enrolled as study participants in an EH group, and 233 normotensive individuals were enrolled as control subjects. Participants were recruited from the south Xinjiang region. Fourteen ACE2 polymorphisms were genotyped by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Risk genotypes of rs2074192 (TT+CT, OR = 1.72, 95% CI: 1.17-2.53), rs2106809 (TT, OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.13-2.58), rs4240157 (CC+CT, OR = 1.99, 95% CI: 1.17-3.41), rs4646155 (TT+CT, OR = 1.94, 95% CI: 1.06-3.54), rs4646188 (TT+CT, OR = 3.25, 95% CI: 1.95-5.41), rs4830542 (CC+CT, OR = 1.88, 95% CI: 1.10-3.23), and rs879922 (CC+CG, OR = 4.86, 95% CI: 2.74-8.64) were associated with EH. Hypertensive patients carrying the control genotype of rs2074192 (CC, OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.28-4.39) were associated with CAS ≥50%, while those carrying a high-EH-risk genotype of rs4240157 (OR = 2.62, 95% CI: 1.24-5.54), rs4646155 (OR = 2.44, 95% CI: 1.16-5.10), or rs4830542 (CC+CT, OR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.03-4.69) were associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), larger left atrial diameter, and higher levels of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) activation (renin and angiotensin I/II). In conclusion, the ACE2 variant rs2074192 was associated with EH and EH with CAS ≥50%, while 3 ACE2 variants (rs4240157, rs4646155, and rs4830542) were associated with EH- and hypertension-related AF and left atrial remodeling in south Xinjiang, China.

Project description:BackgroundSystemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is a multifactorial condition that already affects one third of the worldwide population. The identification of candidate genes for hypertension is a challenge for the next years. Nevertheless, the small contribution of each individual genetic factor to the disease brings the necessity of evaluate genes in an integrative manner and taking into consideration the physiological interaction of functions. Angiotensin I-converting enzymes, ACE and ACE2, are key regulators of blood pressure that have counterbalance roles by acting on vasoactive peptides from Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS). Insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism of ACE gene and single nucleotide polymorphism G8790A of ACE2 gene have been associated with susceptibility to SAH, but the literature is controversial. We proposed to evaluate these two polymorphisms jointly exploring the combined effects of ACE and ACE2 genotypes on SAH susceptibility, an approach that have not been done yet for ACE and ACE2 polymorphisms.Methods and findingsThis genetic association study included 117 hypertensive (mean age 59.7 years) patients and 123 normotensive and diabetes-free controls (mean age 57.5 years). ACE and ACE2 polymorphisms were genotyped by SYBR Green real-time PCR and RFLP-PCR, respectively. Crude and adjusted odds ratio (OR) values were calculated to estimate the susceptibility to SAH development. It was obtained homogeneity regarding distribution by sex, age range, smoking, alcohol consumption and body mass index (BMI) between case and control groups. No-association was verified for each gene individually, but the combination of ACE and ACE2 polymorphisms on female gender revealed a significative association for DD/G_ carriers who had a 3-fold increased risk to SAH development (p = 0.03), with a stronger susceptibility on DD/GG carriers (7-fold increased risk, p = 0.01). The D allele of ACE showed association with altered levels of lipid profile variables on case group (VLDL-cholesterol, p = 0.01) and DD genotype in all individuals analysis (triglycerides, p = 0.01 and VLDL-cholesterol, p = 0.01).ConclusionThese findings indicate that the combination of ACE and ACE2 polymorphisms effects may play a role in SAH predisposition been the DD/G_ genotype the susceptibility profile. This result allowed us to raise the hypothesis that an increased activity of ACE (prohypertensive effects) in conjunction with reduced ACE2 activity (antihypertensive effects) could be the underlining mechanism. The association of ACE D allele with lipid alterations indicate that this can be a marker of poor prognostic on SAH evolution and contribute to CVD development. Although these preliminary findings must be confirmed by further researches with larger sample size, we could observe that the integrative analysis of ACE and ACE2 can be an informative tool in hypertension understanding that needs to be explored in new studies.

Project description:To explore the association between CETP gene polymorphisms and metabolic syndrome (MS), as well as the relationship between the CETP gene polymorphisms and each component of MS.A total of 571 individuals which were randomly selected from 5692 Uyghur adults were subdivided into two groups, including 280 patients with MS and 291 control subjects, using the group-matching method after matching for gender. We detected CETP polymorphisms (rs5882, rs1800775, rs3764261, rs12149545, rs711752, and rs708272) by using the Snapshot method.(1) Significant differences were found involving the frequency distribution of genotypes and alleles of rs1800775, rs3764261, rs12149545, rs711752, and rs708272 between the control and MS groups (all p < 0.05). (2) rs1800775, rs3764261, rs12149545, rs711752, and rs708272 polymorphisms were significantly related to the risk of MS (all p < 0.05). (3) The rs1800775 polymorphism was associated with high fasting blood glucose levels and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C); rs3764261 and rs12149545 polymorphisms were associated with all components of MS except high blood pressure; rs711752 and rs708272 polymorphisms were associated with low HDL-C (all p < 0.05). (4) Complete linkage disequilibrium (LD) was identified for two pairs of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs3764261 and rs12149545 (D' = 1.000, r² = 0.931), rs711752 and rs708272 (D' = 1.000, r² = 0.996)). (5) The A-G-G-G-C (p = 0.013, odds ratio [OR] = 0.622, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.427-0.906) and A-T-A-A-T (p < 0.001, OR = 0.519, 95% CI = 0.386-0.697) haplotypes were more frequent in the control group than in the case group. Conclusions: The rs1800775, rs3764261, rs12149545, rs711752, and rs708272 polymorphisms of CETP were associated with MS and its components among the Uyghur ethnic group. Complete LD was found between two pairs of SNPs (rs3764261 and rs12149545, rs711752, and rs708272). The A-G-G-G-C and A-T-A-A-T haplotypes might be protective factors for MS.
