Abstract Aims Genetic contribution to coronary artery disease (CAD) remains largely unillustrated. Although transcriptomic profiles have identified dozens of genes that are differentially expressed in normal and atherosclerotic vessels, whether those genes are genetically associated with CAD remains to be determined. Here, we combined genetic association studies, transcriptome profiles and in vitro and in vivo functional experiments to identify novel susceptibility genes for CAD. Methods and results Through an integrative analysis of transcriptome profiles with genome-wide association studies for CAD, we obtained 18 candidate genes and selected one representative single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) for each gene for multi-centred validations. We identified an intragenic SNP, rs1056515 in RGS5 gene (odds ratio = 1.17, 95% confidence interval =1.10–1.24, P = 3.72 × 10−8) associated with CAD at genome-wide significance. Rare genetic variants in linkage disequilibrium with rs1056515 were identified in CAD patients leading to a decreased expression of RGS5. The decreased expression was also observed in atherosclerotic vessels and endothelial cells treated by various cardiovascular risk factors. Through siRNA knockdown and adenoviral overexpression, we further showed that RGS5 regulated endothelial inflammation, vascular remodelling, as well as canonical NF-κB signalling activation. Moreover, CXCL12, a specific downstream target of the non-canonical NF-κB pathway, was strongly affected by RGS5. However, the p100 processing, a well-documented marker for non-canonical NF-κB pathway activation, was not altered, suggesting an existence of a novel mechanism by which RGS5 regulates CXCL12. Conclusions We identified RGS5 as a novel susceptibility gene for CAD and showed that the decreased expression of RGS5 impaired endothelial cell function and functionally contributed to atherosclerosis through a variety of molecular mechanisms. How RGS5 regulates the expression of CXCL12 needs further studies.

Background/Aim. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major health problem that has high morbidity and mortality around the world. In recent years, long noncoding RNA H19 has been reported to affect the proliferation and apoptosis of vascular cells, which directly or indirectly results in atherosclerosis. We performed a case-control study to explore the relationship between H19 gene polymorphisms (rs2735971, rs2839698, and rs3024270) and the risk of CAD. Methods. We collected 732 samples from Liaoning Province, China, and three polymorphisms in long noncoding RNA H19 were genotyped using the KASP platform. Results. Our data showed that H19 rs2735971 and rs3024270 variant genotypes were associated with a decreased risk of CAD (rs2735971, P=0.003, odds ratio OR=0.6195, 95% confidence interval=0.44−0.84; rs3024270, P=0.030, OR=0.65, 95% confidence interval=0.44−0.96). No significant association with the risk of CAD was found for H19 rs2839698 polymorphism (P>0.05). In haplotype analysis, H19 polymorphisms of rs2735971-rs2839698-rs3024270 A-C-C haplotype reduced the risk of CAD by 0.61-fold (P=0.004, OR=0.61, 95% confidence interval=0.43–0.86). In addition, we found that rs2839698 interacted with smoking (Pinteraction=0.027), and according to multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis, the three-factor model including H19 rs2839698-smoking-drinking was the best model for the risk of CAD (testing balanced accuracy=0.6979). Conclusion. Our study demonstrated that some genotypes of H19 rs2735971 and rs3024270 polymorphisms, as well as rs2735971-rs2839698-rs3024270 A-C-C haplotype, were associated with the risk of CAD in a Chinese population, and these genotypes have the potential to be biomarkers for predicting CAD risk. We also found that rs2735971-rs2839698-rs3024270 A-C-C may have a significantly lower risk of CAD. The recessive genetic model of rs3024270 could predict the severity of CAD.
