Association of four CpG-SNPs in the vascular-related genes with coronary heart disease

Vascular-related gene polymorphism can affect the susceptibility of coronary heart disease. In current study, we aimed to evaluate the contribution of four vascular-related gene CpG-SNPs to coronary heart disease (CHD). A total of 784 angiography-proven CHD patients and 746 non-CHD controls were included in the current association study. The four CpG-SNPs (including VEGFA rs1005230, ACE rs4316, CST3 rs3827143 and AGTR1 rs275653) were genotyped using the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. All genotype distribution of four SNPs met HWE. Among the four CpG-SNPs, none was found to be associated with CHD on both genotype and allele levels. Further subgroup tests by age or gender were unable to observe any significant associations of them with CHD. Our case-control study showed that none of four CpG-SNPs in the vascular-related genes was associated with the risk of CHD in Han Chinese, although we could not exclude other genetic variants of these vascular-related genes with contribution to CHD.     

Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) level and MMP9 -1562C>T in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: a systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control studies

BackgroundThe peripheral level of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and polymorphism of MMP9 -1562C>T in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) remains controversial. Therefore, the aims of this systemic review and meta-analysis are to assess the MMP9 level in OSA patients and identify the relationship between MMP9 -1562C>T and OSA susceptibility.MethodsThis systematic review was performed following the PRISMA guideline. We searched for studies in major databases, identifying those indexed from inception to July 3, 2019 which related to MMP9 level, MMP9 -1562C>T and OSA. The pooled standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of MMP9 levels were calculated. In addition, the relationship between MMP9 -1562C>T and OSA susceptibility was assessed by three genetic models. The heterogeneity analysis and calculation of the pooled odds ratio (OR) were also performed, followed by quality assessment using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS).ResultsIn sum, our review included 15 eligible studies regarding MMP9 level and three regarding MMP9 -1562C>T. The pooled results showed that peripheral level of MMP9 was increased in OSA patients (SMD = 1.37; 95% CI = 1.15–1.59). Furthermore, significant difference of MMP9 level can be found between severe and mild-to-moderate OSA patients (SMD = 28.17; 95% CI = 4.23–52.11) or between moderate-severe and mild OSA (SMD = 36.62; 95% CI = 12.19–61.04). However, no relationship was observed between MMP9 -1562C>T and OSA susceptibility in three genetic models (Homozygote model, OR = 1.37; 95% CI = 0.87–2.18); (Recessive model, OR = 1.42; 95% CI = 0.83–2.42); (Allele model, OR = 1.07; 95% CI = 0.96–1.18).ConclusionsThis systemic review and meta-analysis indicated that the level of MMP9 was increased in patients with OSA and this increase is relevant to OSA severity. Moreover, the relationship between MMP9 -1562 C>T and OSA susceptibility has currently not been proven by current merging values. Further analyses with larger sample size are required to verify these associations.

CYP2E1 and ALDH2 Genotypes and Alcohol Dependence in Japanese

The genotypes of the CYP2E1 and ALDH2 loci of alcoholic (alcohol dependence) and nonalcoholic (healthy) Japanese were investigated to examine the relationship between the polymorphism of CYP2E1 (C₁/C₂) and ALDH2 ( ALDH2*1/ALDH2*2 ), and the susceptibility to alcoholism. There was no significant difference in C₂ gene frequency between alcoholics (0.19) and nonalcoholics (controls) (0.20), whereas there was a significant difference in ALDH2 allele frequency, suggesting that, in Japanese, the C₂ genotype of CYP2E1 may have nothing to do with the risk of developing alcohol dependence. However, the ALDH2*1 allele may influence drinking behavior and the development of alcohol dependence. Furthermore, racial interethnic differences in the frequency of the mutated allele of the CYP2E1 gene (CJ were found, like the ALDH2 gene. Japanese healthy controls showed a significantly higher frequency of the C₂ allele than did Swedish healthy controls (0.05; reported by Persson et al., FEBS Lett. 319:207-211,1993).
