SummaryMatrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 3 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction (MI). Up to now, there has been conflicting data regarding the possible contribution of the MMP3 -1612 5A/6A promoter polymorphism to MI. In this study, we have investigated the possible association of three polymorphisms (-1612 5A/6A, -376C/G, Glu45Lys) in the MMP3 gene with MI in a Chinese Han population. The polymorphisms were analyzed in 509 patients with MI, and in 518 healthy controls. The frequency of the 5A allele was 14% in the healthy controls, which is less than in Western populations (40%-52%). Logistic regression analyses of individual polymorphisms indicated that individuals carrying the -1612 5A allele had an increased risk of MI (odds ratio [OR] 1.75, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.28 to 2.40), as did those carrying the -376 G allele (OR 1.78, 95% CI 1.33 to 2.38). The three polymorphisms studied were found to be in strong linkage disequilibria. Haplotype analyses showed that the 5A-G-Lys haplotype (-1612 5A, -376G and 45Lys) was independently associated with susceptibility to MI. Taken together, the effect of the MMP3 polymorphisms studied may be attributable to the -1612 5A/6A polymorphism. We conclude that the MMP3 -1612 5A/6A polymorphism is associated with MI in our population, implying that individuals of the 5A allele carriers have an increased risk of suffering MI.

Tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 4 (TNFSF4), also known as Ox40 ligand (Ox40l), plays an important role in atherosclerosis development. Several studies reported the association between the rs3850641 polymorphism of the TNFSF4 gene and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). However, the results are inconsistent. In order to explore the relationship between the rs3850641 polymorphism of the TNFSF4 gene and MI, we conducted a case–control study including 454 cases and 512 controls in a Chinese Han population. Genotyping was performed using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The present study found that AA genotype (AA vs. GG: odds ratio (OR) & 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.00(1.04,3.86), P=0.039; AA vs. AG+GG: OR & 95% CI, 1.93(1.00,3.70), P=0.049) or A allele carriers (A vs. G: OR & 95% CI, 1.27(1.00,1.60), P=0.047) of the rs3850641 polymorphism of the TNFSF4 gene increased the risk of MI. In conclusion, this case–control study confirms that the rs3850641 polymorphism of the TNFSF4 gene increases the risk of MI.

Recently, conflicting data have been reported regarding the possible contribution of the TSP-4 (thrombospondin-4) A387P polymorphism to CAD (coronary artery disease) or MI (myocardial infarction). To investigate a possible association between the A387P polymorphism and CAD or MI in the Chinese Han population, we conducted a case-controlled study including 817 patients with angiographically verified CAD or those who survived an acute MI and 847 control subjects. The TSP-4 A387P polymorphism was determined by PCR and PCR-RFLP (restriction-fragment-length polymorphism) analysis. The prevalence of the 387P allele was 3.8% in the healthy controls, which was less frequent than those in Western populations (19.6–23.2%). No association of the A387P polymorphism with an altered risk of CAD, MI or premature MI was found in our present study (CG+CC compared with GG, PCAD=0.51, PMI=0.13, PPremature MI=0.17 respectively). We concluded that a relationship between the TSP-4 A387P polymorphism and CAD or MI was unlikely in our population. Additional investigations should be performed in populations at different risk of coronary events in order to elucidate further the possible contribution of this polymorphism to cardiovascular disease.
