Genetic polymorphisms and transcription profiles associated with intracranial aneurysm: a key role for NOTCH3.

ABSTRACT: Intracranial aneurysm (IA) incidence is about 1~2%. However, the specific mechanisms of IA onset and development need further study. Our objective was to discover novel IA-related genes to determine possible etiologies further. We performed next-generation sequencing on nineteen Chinese patients with familial IA and one patient with sporadic IA. We obtained mRNA expression data of 129 samples from Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and made statistical computing to discover differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The screened IA-related gene NOTCH3 was determined by bioinformatic data mining. We verified the IA-related indicators of NOTCH3. Association was found between IA and the NOTCH3 SNPs rs779314594, rs200504060 and rs2285981. Levels of NOTCH3 mRNA were lower in IA tissue than in control tissue, but higher in peripheral blood neutrophils from IA patients than in neutrophils from controls. Levels of NOTCH3 protein were lower in IA tissue than in cerebral artery tissue. NOTCH3 also decreased the expression of angiogenesis factors in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Variation in NOTCH3 and alteration of its expression in cerebral artery or neutrophils may contribute to IA. Our findings also describe a bioinformatic-experimental approach that may prove useful for probing the pathophysiology of other complex diseases.

Project description:Endoglin is an essential molecule during angiogenesis, vascular development, and integrity. Till now, many studies have investigated the association between endoglin polymorphisms and intracranial aneurysm (IA) risk, with the results remained inconclusive. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis to summarize the possible association.We searched PubMed and Embase until June 2015 to identify studies addressing the association between endoglin polymorphisms and IA risk. The summary odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to assess the strength of the association.Eleven studies with a total of 1501 cases and 2012 controls were finally included in this meta-analysis, with 10 studies investigating endoglin 6-bp insertion (6bINS) polymorphism and 4 studies investigating 1800956 polymorphism. No significant association between endoglin 6bINS polymorphism and IA risk was detected in overall estimation (I/I vs wt/I?+?wt/wt: OR?=?1.21, 95% CI?=?0.87-1.69) or in the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, control source, or ruptured status. However, we observed an association with borderline significance of 6bINS with IA occurrence (I/I vs wt/I?+?wt/wt: OR?=?1.49, 95% CI?=?0.99-2.25, P?=?0.058) in studies applying matched controls. Furthermore, we detected a significant association for 6bINS polymorphism of endoglin with increased risk of familial IA (I vs wt, OR?=?1.64, 95% CI?=?1.10-2.42) but not sporadic IA (I vs wt, OR?=?1.09, 95% CI?=?0.68-1.45). With regard to rs1800956, our pooled results indicated a significantly decreased IA risk in individuals carrying C allele (C/C vs G/C?+?G/G: OR?=?0.65; 95% CI?=?0.45-0.94).This meta-analysis provided no evidence for the association between 6bINS polymorphism with overall IA risk. However, we detected a significant association of 6bINS allele with increased risk of familial IA. Also, we found that rs1800956 was significantly related to IA occurrence. Further, well-designed studies with large sample size are warranted and updated meta-analysis is needed to verify our findings.
