The study aimed to detect the genetic polymorphism of apolipoprotein E (Apo E) in residents of Guizhou, China, explore its relationship with essential hypertension, and discuss the efficacy of nanotechnology in the treatment of hypertension. A total of 200 people in Guizhou, China were detected with Apo E polymorphisms and were divided into groups, The experimental group consists of people with essential hypertension and the control group of normal people. The SPSS 26.0 software was used to determine the correlation between Apo E gene polymorphisms and the essential hypertension risk. Logistic regression analysis was adopted to determine the risk factors of the Apo E gene for essential hypertension. Magnetic nanoparticles are used to help extract DNA, improve efficiency, and analyze the distribution of alleles in the population. The distribution frequencies of the six genotypes of E2/2, E2/3, E3/3, E3/4, E2/4, and E4/4 were 1.0%, 15.5%, 64.0%, 17.0%, 1.5%, and 1.0%, respectively, and the distribution frequencies of the three alleles of ε2, ε3, and ε4 were 9.5%, 80.3%, and 10.3%, respectively. There are more Apo E gene ε4 carriers in the experimental group than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). The Apo E ε4 allele carriers had higher low-density lipoprotein and Apo B levels than the Apo E ε3 and Apo E ε2 gene carriers. Family history of hypertension and Apo E ε4 were both the main risk factors for essential hypertension. This study investigated the relationship between apolipoprotein E gene polymorphism and essential hypertension, and extracted DNA by magnetic nanoparticles to help analyze the distribution of alleles in hypertension population, which could provide theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of essential hypertension in Guizhou Province, China.

The genetic heterogeneity of apolipoprotein E (apo E) has been associated with lipid profile and atherothrombotic stroke, however this association remains inconclusive. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between the isoforms of apo E and atherothrombotic stroke, by ascertaining the frequency of its alleles and genotypes associated with the lipid profile in patients with stroke. METHOD: A total of 207 individuals were divided into two groups, consisting of 107 patients with stroke and 100 individuals without clinical symptoms of the disease. Blood samples were taken from patients and controls for molecular investigation of the apo E (epsilon2, epsilon3 and epsilon4 alleles) for the analysis of the lipid profile. RESULTS: The epsilon3 allele was the most common and its prevalence was significantly higher in patients (0.93) compared to the controls (0.86; p=0.024). The epsilon2 allele was rarely seen specifically in patients (0.02 versus 0.05 in controls, p=0.191). The epsilon4 allele was not associated with stroke showing a reduced frequency in patients (0.05) when compared to controls (0.09; p=0.011). Although higher average levels of lipid profile were found in patients when compared to controls, with statistical significance for the values of total cholesterol (TC) (203.6mg/dL±57.98 and 181.9mg/dL±68.47 respectively; p=0.003) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) (131.4mg/dL±52.60 and 116mg/dL±56.38, respectively; p=0.014), these were independent of the presence of the epsilon4 allele. In control group the higher TC and LDLc values occurred in the absence of the epsilon4 allele, confirming the conflicting effect of the alleles of apo E on the plasmatic lipids and atherothrombotic stroke. CONCLUSION: The isoforms of apo E cannot be regarded as an isolated risk factor for stroke and do not show association with lipid profile in this study.
