浙江汉族长寿人群血脂水平及ApoB基因Xba I-RFLP和3'-VNTR多态性的相关性研究

 目的：研究浙江汉族长寿人群的血脂水平及载脂蛋白B（ApoB）基因Xba I-限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)和3’-可变数目串联重复序列(VNTR)多态性对血脂四项和载脂蛋白水平是否有影响，了解长寿发生的机制。方法：采用体格检查与实验室研究分别对长寿老人组、长寿子女组、正常对照组和非长寿子女组进行血样采集、ApoB基因Xba I-RFLP和3'-VNTR分型。结果：血清甘油三酯（TG）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（LDL-C）及ApoB 与长寿呈负相关（P<0.05）, 高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL-C）与长寿呈正相关（P<0.01）。拥有X⁺X^-基因型的人，除TG外，TC、LDL-C及ApoB均高于拥有X^-X^-基因型的人（P<0.01），其HDL-C低于拥有X^-X^-基因型的人（P<0.01）；拥有大等位基因的人，其TC、TG、LDL-C及ApoB均高于拥有小等位基因的人（P<0.01），而HDL-C含量较低（P<0.01）。结论：高TG、LDL-C、ApoB和低HDL-C不利于长寿，拥有X^-X^-基因型和3'-VNTR分型小等位基因的人血脂水平较健康，也利于长寿。

Serum lipid levels and ApoB gene Xba I and 3'-VNTR polymorphisms in longevous elderly Han population in Zhejiang

AIM: To study the levels of serum lipids and the effects of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) gene Xba I-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and 3'-variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism on serum lipid and apolipoprotein levels in longevous elderly Han population in Zhejiang. METHODS: Physical and laboratory examinations were performed on longevous elders, children of longevous elders, normal control people and children of non-longevous elders, and the Xba I-RFLP and 3'-VNTR polymorphism in ApoB gene were genotyped. RESULTS: The serum levels of triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and ApoB were negatively correlated with longevity (P<0.05), while the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) was positively correlated with longevity (P<0.01). The levels of total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C and ApoB were higher and the HDL-C level was lower in the people with Xba I-RFLP X⁺X^- genotype than those in the people with Xba I-RFLP X^-X^- genotype (P<0.01). The levels of TC, TG, LDL-C and ApoB were higher and the HDL-C level was lower in the people with 3'-VNTR large allele than those in the people with 3'-VNTR minor allele (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: High TG, LDL-C and ApoB levels and low HDL-C level are not conductive to longevity. Serum lipid levels in the people with Xba I-RFLP X^-X^- genotype or 3'-VNTR minor allele are healthy and conductive to longevity.
