Association of Interleukin-6 Gene Promoter Polymorphism with Coronary Artery Disease in Pakistani Families

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a well-known inflammatory cytokine and suggested to be involved in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). IL-6 gene expression has been investigated with controversy in CAD patients. This study investigates the association of the IL-6 gene expression with CAD, the molecular basis for the regulation of interleukin-6 expression in a Pakistani population. Our data show that the serum IL-6 levels were increased in patients with CAD compared with healthy controls and that the IL-6 gene polymorphism at -174 was more prevalent in CAD cases. There was a statistically significant association between the IL-6 gene polymorphism and CAD, which may be associated with an increased risk for the disease. Moreover, circulating IL-6 and hs-CRP levels were significantly higher in patients with CC genotype (P<0.0001andP<0.0001, resp.). In a binary logistic-regression model, an independent association was found between CAD and increased serum IL-6 and hs-CRP levels and -174G>C polymorphism. This is the first report on the IL-6 expression and the IL-6 gene polymorphism in patients with CAD from Pakistan, and hence it highlights a novel risk factor for the disease.

Abstract Background It has been reported that coronary artery disease (CAD) is characterized by inflammation and non-obstructive CAD (NOCAD) increases the risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) compared with ones with normal or near-normal coronary arteries (NNCA), even is similar to obstructive CAD (OCAD). We hypothesized that elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) may be linked to CVEs in those patients with NOCAD. Purpose To investigate the predictive role of hs-CRP in patients with NOCAD. Methods Of 7,746 consecutive patients with angina-like chest pain admissions, 4,662 eligible patients were enrolled who received coronary artery angiography (CAG) and followed up for the CVEs comprising all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke and late revascularization. According to the results of CAG, the patients were classified as NNCA group (<20% stenosis, n=698, 15.0%), NOCAD group (20–49% stenosis, n=639, 14.3%), and OCAD group (≥50% stenosis, n=3325, 70.7%). They were further subdivided into 3 groups according to baseline hs-CRP levels (<1, 1–3 and >3 mg/L). Proportional hazards models were used to assess the risk of CVEs in all patients enrolled. Results A total of 338 patients (7.3%) experienced CVEs during an average of 13403 person-years follow-up. Patients with NOCAD and OCAD had higher rates of CVEs compared to those with NNCA (p<0.05, respectively). In Cox's models after adjustment of confounders, the risk of CVEs elevated with the increasing degrees of CAD with hazard ratio of 2.01 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.07–3.79, p=0.03] for patients with NOCAD and 2.81 (95% CI: 1.60–4.93, p<0.001) for patients with OCAD compared with the NNCA group. Moreover, elevated hs-CRP levels were associated with the severity of coronary lesions and an elevated increased risk of CVEs in patients with NOCAD and OCAD compared those with NNCA (p<0.05, respectively). Conclusions Patients with NOCAD had indeed worse outcomes and hs-CRP levels were positively in relation to the CVEs in those with NOCAD, which may help to the risk assessment in ones with NOCAD.

Objectives. To evaluate whether serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) is associated with increased risk of mortality in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients.Methods. We performed a prospective cohort study of 718 CAD patients from the Guangzhou Cardiovascular Disease Cohort (GCDC) study. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to examine the association between serum IL-6 with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.Results. During the 1663 person-years of followup, the cumulative all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality were 6.5% (n=47) and 3.3% (n=24), respectively. The mean length of followup was2.32±0.81years. In the multivariable analyses, a one-SD increment in log-transformed serum IL-6 was positively associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, with hazard ratios (HR) of 2.93 (95% CI, 2.11–4.08) and 2.04 (95% CI, 1.34–3.68) within the patients combined and 2.98 (95% CI, 2.12–4.18) and 3.10 (95% CI, 1.98–4.85) within males, respectively. Patients in the highest serum IL-6 tertile versus the lowest tertile were at higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, with HR of 17.12 (95% CI 3.11–71.76) and 8.68 (95% CI, 1.88–37.51), respectively.Conclusions. In hospitalized patients with CAD, serum IL-6 is significantly associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality.

Purpose The goals of the present study were to assess the genotypic and allelic distribution of Bsm-I (rs1544410) and Apa-I (rs7975232) polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients in comparison to control patients of the same age without CAD and to determine whether these gene variants are associated with dyslipidemia. Materials and Methods Based on a case-control design, 302 hospitalized patients with CAD and 194 people of comparable age without CAD were enrolled in the study. The BsmI and ApaI polymorphisms of VDR gene were studied using polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction analysis. The allele digested by the restriction enzyme was denoted by a lower letter, whereas that not digested was indicated by a capital letter. Determination of the level of vitamin D and immunoreactive insulin in the blood serum was carried out using the immuno-enzyme method. Results The bb genotype of Bsm-I VDR gene polymorphism was detected more often in patients with CAD than in the comparison group with an increased risk of CAD by 1.52 times (p=0.006, OR=1.52(1.05÷2.2). The level of HDL cholesterol was higher in CAD patients − carriers of BB genotype compared to its level in Bb genotype carriers and bb genotype carriers (1,13±0,05 mmol/l, 1,01±0,03 mmol/l, 1,02±0,03 mmol/l respectively, p<0,05). The level of vitamin D was higher in patients with BB genotype compared to its level in bb genotype carriers (45.12±3.73 nmol / l and 34.16±1.95 nmol/l respectively, p=0.008). The occurrence of a allele of Apa-I VDR gene polymorphism was higher in patients with CAD than in the control group (p=0.02, OR=1.21(0.93÷1.57). HDL cholesterol level was higher in CAD patients - AA genotype carriers compared with carriers of Aa and aa genotypes (1.18±0.08 mmol / l, 1,02±0.02 mmol / l and 1.01±0.03 mmol/l respectively, p<0,05). Immunoreactive insulin level was significantly higher in CAD patients – aa genotype carriers. No differences in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides were found. Vitamin D level was lower in CAD patients - Aa and aa genotype carriers (33,8±33,9 nmol/l ,p=0,02 and 24,7±4,9 nmol/l, p=0,05 respectively in comparison to vitamin D level = 43,3 ±4,2 nmol/l in AA genotype carriers). Conclusion The bb genotype of Bsm-I VDR gene polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of CAD. A carriage of b allele in CAD patients is associated with lower level of vitamin D and HDL cholesterol. A carriage of a allele of Apa-I VDR gene polymorphism in CAD patients is associated with lower level of vitamin D and HDL cholesterol.

Общим патогенетическим звеном сахарного диабета 2 типа (СД2) и ишемической болезни сердца (ИБС) является окислительный стресс, развивающийся в результате дисбаланса продукции активных форм кислорода (АФК) и их обезвреживания системой антиоксидантной защиты. Нейтрофильный цитозольный фактор 4 (NCF4) непосредственно вовлечен в синтез супероксид-аниона в составе НАДФН-оксидазы. Целью настоящего исследования стало изучение ассоциаций восьми однонуклеотидных полиморфизмов гена NCF4 rs5995355 (A>G), rs5995357 (T>A), rs1883112 (G>A), rs4821544 (G>A), rs760519 (T>C), rs729749 (C>T), rs2075938 (G>A) и rs2075939 (C>T) с предрасположенностью к СД2, а также с риском развития ИБС у пациентов с СД2. В исследование включено 1579 пациентов с СД2 (у 448 из которых была также диагностирована ИБС) и 1627 условно здоровых добровольцев. Генотипирование выполнено методом MALDI-TOF масс-спектрометрии на платформе MassArray Analyzer 4. Статистическую обработку полученных данных проводили с помощью онлайн программы SNPStats. Частоты аллелей и генотипов изучаемых SNPs у больных СД2 не отличались от таковых в группе контроля (р>0,05). Установлены ассоциации генотипов rs4821544-C/С (OR 1,71, 95CI 1,12-2,59, р=0,013) и rs5995357-А/А (OR 3,74, 95CI 1,14-12,31, р=0,026) с предрасположенностью к ИБС у больных СД2 женщин. Несмотря на отсутствие ассоциаций изучаемых SNPs гена NCF4 с ИБС у мужчин, именно у представителей мужского пола выявлены ассоциации гаплотипической структуры NCF4 (р=0,0064), а также гаплотипов Н2 (OR 1,79, 95CI 1,16-2,76, р=0,0085) и Н3 (OR 1,77, 95CI 1,06-2,97, р=0,03) с повышенным риском развития ИБС при СД2. Кроме того, выявлены не зависящие от пола ассоциации генотипа rs4821544-С/С с повышенным уровнем гликированного гемоглобина HbA1c (р=0,032) и окисленного глутатиона плазмы крови (p=0.049) у пациентов с ИБС и СД2. В этой же категории больных носительство гаплотипов Н4 rs5995355G-rs5995357A-rs1883112G-rs4821544C-rs760519T-rs729749C-rs2075938G-rs2075939C и Н10 rs5995355A-rs5995357T-rs1883112G-rs4821544C-rs760519T-rs729749C-rs2075938A-rs2075939C гена NCF4 ассоциировалось с повышением содержания HbA1c на 8,67% (р=0,011) и 6,27% (р=0,038), соответственно. Полученные данные свидетельствуют о значимом вкладе полиморфизма гена NCF4 в патогенез ИБС у пациентов с СД2 и создают научный задел для разработки таргетной терапии и профилактики этой патологии. A common pathogenic link in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD) is oxidative stress, which develops as a result of an imbalance in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their neutralization by the antioxidant defense system. Neutrophilic cytosolic factor 4 (NCF4) is directly involved in the synthesis of superoxide anion as part of NADPH oxidase. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to investigate the associations of eight single nucleotide polymorphisms of the NCF4 gene rs5995355 (A>G), rs5995357 (T>A), rs1883112 (G>A), rs4821544 (G>A), rs760519 (T>C), rs729749 (C>T), rs2075938 (G>A), rs2075939 (C>T) with a predisposition to T2D, as well as the risk of developing CAD in patients with T2D. The study included 1579 patients with T2D (448 of them were also diagnosed with CAD) and 1627 relatively healthy volunteers. Genotyping was performed using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry on the MassArray Analyzer 4 platform. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the SNPStats online program. The allele and genotype frequencies of the studied SNPs in T2D patients did not differ from those in the control group (p>0.05). Associations of genotypes rs4821544-C/C (OR 1.71, 95CI 1.12-2.59, p=0.013) and rs5995357-A/A (OR 3.74, 95CI 1.14-12.31, p=0.026) with a predisposition to CAD in diabetic females were established. Despite the absence of associations of the studied SNPs NCF4 with CAD in males, associations of the haplotype structure of NCF4 (p=0.0064), as well as the haplotypes H2 (OR 1.79, 95CI 1.16-2.76, p=0.0085) and H3 (OR 1.77, 95CI 1.06-2.97, p=0.03) with an increased risk of CAD were observed exclusively in diabetic males. In addition, a sex-independent relationship of the rs4821544-C/C genotype with an increased level of glycated hemoglobin (p=0.032) and oxidized glutathione (p=0.049) was revealed in patients with CAD and T2D. In the same category of patients haplotypes H4 rs5995355G-rs5995357A-rs1883112G-rs4821544C-rs760519T-rs729749C-rs2075938G-rs2075939C and H10 rs5995355A-rs5995357T-rs1883112G-rs4821544C-rs760519T-rs729749C-rs2075938A-rs2075939C of NCF4 gene were associated with an increase in the content of HbA1c 8.67 % (p=0.011) and 6.27% (p=0.038), respectively. The data obtained indicate a significant contribution of the NCF4 gene polymorphism to the pathogenesis of CAD in patients with T2D and create a scientific basis for the development of targeted therapy and prevention of this pathology.
