BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease is multifactorial in origin. Coronary artery disease predisposition is attributed to genetic factors also. Many gene polymorphisms are implicated out of which paraoxonase 1 (PON 1) gene is an important one. The product of paraoxonase gene is paraoxonase enzyme which is seen in serum associated with high density lipoprotein (HDL). This enzyme is mainly synthesised by the liver. The protective effect of HDL is attributed to the presence of such enzymes on it. Gln to Arg polymorphism at position 192 confers a risk of developing atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease (CAD). This study is done to assess the genotype distribution of PON 1 gene in CAD patients compared to healthy controls in a population from Kerala. METHODS The case group consists of 100 angiographically proven CAD patients with no history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hepatic disease or smoking. The control group had 100 healthy controls from the general population. PON 1 gene was amplified by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique already reported and restriction fragment length polymorphism by the restriction enzyme Alwl was done to assess the polymorphism. to assess the polymorphism. RESULTS In this study, the frequency of heterozygous genotype QR was 86 % in control and 76 % in cases. Though there was no significant difference in allele distribution of Q or R, RR genotype was significantly higher in the case group ( 2 = 8.82; p value = .012). With binary logistic regression model, adjusting for age and sex, RR genotype is independently associated with CHD. Adjusted odds ratio of RR was 5.24 with 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.41 - 19.47 for developing CHD (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The RR genotype is more frequently seen in CAD patients than in controls. The QR genotype is more frequent than QQ or RR in both cases and controls. KEYWORDS Coronary Artery Disease, Paraoxonase, Gene Polymorphism

Abstract SREBP cleavage-activating protein (SCAP) plays a vital role in the modulation of cholesterol homeostasis, and cholesterol dysregulation is tightly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). To investigate the correlation of the genetic polymorphism of SCAP with CAD, we conducted a case-control study of 528 CAD patients (case group) and 483 age- and sex- matched subjects from whom CAD was excluded (control group). Three tagSNPs (rs147215799, rs17079634 and rs59586735) in SCAP gene were genotyped in all participants, the genotype and allele frequencies of which were compared between two groups to determine their associations with CAD. We found rs17079634 showed significant difference in genotype distribution between the case and control group (P=0.016). The difference was most prominent in a dominant model (TT vs. CT + CC, P=0.004). After adjustment for confounding factors, the difference remained statistically significant (OR =1.363, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.022~1.818, P=0.035). Whereas no significant associations of the other two SNPs with CAD were observed (P=0.393 for rs147215799 and 0.303 for rs59586735, respectively). We drew conclusion that the SCAP genetic polymorphism rs17079634 was associated with CAD.

Aim: Studies have evaluated the association of miRNA-423 C>A genotyping with the susceptibility to various diseases such cancers, atherosclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease but the results were contradictory. However, no studies have reported the association between miRNA-423 rs6505162 C>A polymorphism and susceptibility of coronary artery disease. MicroRNAs regulate expression of multiple genes involved in atherogenesis. Therefore, we investigated the association of microRNA-423C>T gene variations with susceptibility to coronary artery disease. Methodology: This study was conducted on 100 coronary artery disease patients and 117 matched healthy controls. The genotyping of the microRNA-423 rs6505162C>A was performed by using Amplification refractory mutation system PCR method (ARMS-PCR). Results: A significant difference was observed in the genotype distribution among the coronary artery disease cases and sex-matched healthy controls (P=0.048). The frequencies of all three genotypes CC, CA, AA reported in the patient’s samples were 55%, 41% and 4% and in the healthy controls samples were 55%, 41% and 4% respectively. Our findings showed that the microRNA-423 C>A variant was associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease in codominant model (OR = 1.96, 95 % CI, 1.12-3.42; RR 1.35(1.05-1.75, p=0.017) of microRNA-423CA genotype and significant association in dominant model (OR 1.97, 95% CI (1.14-3.39), (CA+AA vs CC) and non-significant association for recessive model (OR=1.42, 95%CI=0.42-4.83, P=0.56, AA vs CC+CA).While, the A allele significantly increased the risk of coronary artery disease (OR =1.56, 95 % CI, 1.03-2.37; p=0.035) compared to C allele. Therefore, it was observed that more than 1.96, 1.97 and 1.56 fold increased risk of developing coronary artery disease. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that microRNA-423 CA genotype and A allele are associated with an increased susceptibility to Coronary artery disease.

Aim: The microRNAs regulate the expression of multiple genes involved in diseases such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In this study, we have investigated the association between the miR-224 gene polymorphism (rs188519172A>G) and susceptibility of coronary artery disease CAD. Methodology: Hundred CAD patients and 100-matched healthy control were included. Genotyping of the miR-224 (rs188519172A>G) polymorphism was performed using Amplification refractory mutation system PCR method (ARMS-PCR). Results: A significant difference was observed in the genotype distribution among CAD patients and healthy controls (P=0.018). The frequencies of all three genotypes GG, GA, AA reported in the patient’s samples were 33%, 66% and 01%, and in the healthy controls samples, were 16%, 82% and 2% respectively. A multivariate analysis based on logistic regression was conducted for each group to estimate the association between miR-224 rs188519172 genotypes and risk to coronary artery disease. Results show that the miR-224 (rs188519172 A>G) polymorphism was associated with a decreased risk to CAD in a codominant model, GA genotype vs. GG (OR = 0.39 (95 % CI, 0.19-0.76), RR 0.58 (0.38-0.90, P=0.006). In the dominant model, (GA+AA vs. GG), there was also a significant association with the OR=0.38 (95 % CI (0.19-0.76), RR 0.58 (0.38-0.89), and P=0.006. Whereas, in the recessive model, (GG+GA vs. AA), there was no significant association of CAD with OR=0.49 (95% CI (0.044-5.54), RR 0.74 (0.33-1.68), and P=0.48. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that miR-224 (rs188519172) GA genotype is associated with a decreased susceptibility to CAD.

A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the adiponectin gene, 45T/G, has been reported in relation to a number of metabolic disorders, including obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes. However, previous studies on the association between this SNP and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) have been few, with no report from Iranian subjects. The present study set out to investigate the association between this SNP and CAD in an Iranian population. Among 464 patients (age: 18–75 years), recruited from individuals who underwent coronary angiography, 135 patients had less than 50% reduction of coronary artery diameter and were classified as the CAD- group and 329 patients had more than 50% reduction of coronary artery diameter and were classified as the CAD+ group. The last group was divided into single-vessel disease (n = 86), two-vessel disease (n = 111), and three-vessel disease (n = 132). Healthy subjects (n = 106) who did not have any history of heart diseases were also recruited as the control group. All subjects were genotyped for the 45T/G polymorphism using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique. A significantly higher frequency of the TG genotype and G allele, which was paralleled by a lower frequency of the TT genotype and T allele, was observed in both CAD+ and CAD- patients when compared with the control group (p≤ 0.001). There was no significant difference in the genotype distribution and allele frequencies between CAD+ and CAD- patients, and also between different subgroups of patients based on the number of stenosed vessels (p> 0.05). Our findings indicate that the presence of the G allele at the position +45 of the adiponectin gene may be associated with the risk of CAD in our study population. While we found no significant difference in the genotype distribution and allele frequencies between patients with angiography+ and angiography, this may be because the 50% stenosis cut-off does not discriminate sufficiently between individuals with and without significant coronary disease.

Lp(a) has been well known as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). TheLPAgene, as it encodes apo(a) of the Lp(a) lipoprotein particle, was associated with increased risk of CAD. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the polymorphisms ofLPAgene and CAD in Chinese Han population. Five SNPs (rs1367211, rs3127596, rs6415085, rs9347438, and rs9364559) in theLPAgene were genotyped using Sequenom MassARRAY time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF) in 560 CAD patients as case group and 531 non-CAD subjects as control group. The numbers of these two groups were from Chinese Han ancestry. The results showed that allele (P=0.046) and genotype (P=0.026) of rs9364559 in theLPAgene was associated with CAD. The frequency of rs9364559 minor allele (G) in case group was obviously higher than that in control group. Results of haplotype analysis showed that 4 haplotypes which contained rs9364559-G were associated with increased risk of CAD in this population. This study explored rs9364559 in theLPAgene may be associated with the pathogenesis of CAD; and the risk of CAD might be higher in the population carrying 4 haplotypes of different blocks in theLPAgene.

Paraoxonase-1 (PON1), a high-density-lipoprotein- (HDL-) associated enzyme, has the potential to protect against atherogenesis. We examine the relationships between plasma PON1 activity and the progression of atherosclerosis as well as coronary artery disease (CAD). Fasting blood samples were collected from female apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE−/−) mice and 149 patients undergoing coronary angiography for the biochemical parameters measurement. The severity of CAD was defined using angiographic Gensini score (GSS). Compared to 3-month-old apoE−/−mice, aged mice had significantly lower PON1 activity, which is negatively correlated with the size of atherosclerotic lesion and plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factorα(TNF-α) levels. In study patients, PON1 activity was correlated with age, sex, and HDL-cholesterol, apolipoprotein AI, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and was significantly lower in CAD group than that in non-CAD control group. Interestingly, PON1 activity in severe CAD group (GSS > 40) was further significantly reduced compared to those in mild and moderate subgroups (GSS  ≤ 40) (P<0.01). There is a significant correlation between PON1 activity and the severity of CAD as assessed by GSS (r=-0.393,P<0.001). PON1 activity may be a potential biomarker for the severity of CAD.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a clinical manifestation resulting from a narrowing of epicardial coronary arteries that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. Coronary artery disease is mostcommonlydue to atherosclerotic occlusion of the coronary arteries.Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a circulating peptide hormone secreted by bone cells,regulating phosphate and vitamin D metabolism. Several recent observational studies reported an independent association of circulating FGF23 with several cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors including left ventricular hypertrophy and vascular dysfunction,CVD progression and incident clinical CVD eventsand mortality.Apolipoprotein A1 (ApoA1) is the primary protein associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles,and plays a central role in reverse cholesterol transport. HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and ApoA1 concentrations are inverlassely related to the risk for coronary artery disease. To find the role of fibroblast growth factor-23 in coronary artery disease and its associationwith Apolipoprotein-A1.This ccross –sectionalstudyincluded 42 elective patients attending the cardiology unit and the results of those patients were compared with 40 healthy control group. Blood samples were obtained for measurements of (FGF-23,troponin I,Apo-A1,total creatine kinase activity,urea,creatinine and lipid profile).The obtained results showed that there was a significant difference in serum FGF-23 in coronary artery disease (367.52 ± 128.52 pg/ml) as compared with the control (165.41 ± 53.65 pg/ml) (p< 0.05). There was a significant differences in Apo-A1 in coronary artery disease (2.03±0.90 mg/ml) as compared with the control (1.49 ± 0.25 mg/ml) (P = 0.014).There was a significant difference in age between CAD (58.66±8.85) and control group (51.125 ± 11.71) (P<0.005).There was a significant difference in TG where control (99.50 ± 21.59) differ from CAD (142.05 ± 66.24) (P = 0.006).According to the results that were shown in the tables, we can be conclude that higher levels of FGF23 and Apo-A1 may be associated with complications and mortality of CAD beside its associating with atherosclerosis in the Iraqi patients.

Background.Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) is the crucial antioxidant marker of high-density lipoproteins. The present study is aimed at assessing the effect of simvastatin treatment on PON1 activity and its relationship to Q192R and M55L polymorphisms in subjects with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods.The patient group was composed of 53 individuals with stable CAD, and the control group included 53 sex-matched police officers without CAD. CAD patients were treated with simvastatin 40mg/day for 12 months. Respectively, flow mediated dilatation (FMD), serum hs-CRP and TNF-αlevels, urinary 8-iso-PGF2αconcentrations, and PON1 activity were evaluated in definitive intervals.Results.There was no effect of simvastatin treatment on urinary 8-iso-PGF2α. Simvastatin treatment significantly increased FMD value, decreased CRP and TNF-αconcentration. After adjusting for PON1 genotypes, significantly higher PON1 activity was noted in the 192R allele carriers, in both groups. Regardless of genotype, PON1 activity remained stable after simvastatin treatment.Conclusions.The present study confirms a positive effect of simvastatin therapy on endothelial function and inflammatory markers in secondary prevention. Simvastatin treatment shows no effects on PON1 activity and 8-isoprostanes level. The effect of simvastatin therapy on PON1 activity is not modulated by Q192R and M55L polymorphisms.

Background Recently, the role of inflammation in coronary artery disease and the association of inflammatory biomarkers with adverse outcomes have been investigated in many studies. We investigated the relationship between high serum mobility group box 1 protein levels and established risk factors for coronary artery disease. Methods Fifty-five patients who presented to our Cardiovascular Surgery Clinic and subsequently underwent coronary artery bypass surgery for coronary artery disease and 50 healthy subjects presenting to the cardiology outpatient clinic without any cardiovascular problem were included in the study. The mean age was 61.47 ± 9.38 years for patients and 58.20 ± 10.15 years for controls. Results There was no statistically significant difference between groups with respect to age or sex. Family history of coronary artery disease, aspirin use, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes were significantly more prevalent in the patient group versus the control group. A significant difference was found between patients and healthy controls with respect to high mobility group box 1 protein levels ( p = 0.001). Conclusions Serum high mobility group box 1 protein was significantly increased in patients with coronary artery disease in comparison to healthy subjects. No associations were found between high mobility group box 1 protein level and certain risk factors for coronary artery disease.
