Obesity and Environmental Risk Factors Significantly Modify the Association between Ischemic Stroke and the Hero Chaperone C19orf53. Life (Basel) 2024; 14:1158. [PMID: 39337941 PMCID: PMC11433390 DOI: 10.3390/life14091158] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2024] [Revised: 09/07/2024] [Accepted: 09/10/2024] [Indexed: 09/30/2024] Open
Abstract
The unique chaperone-like properties of C19orf53, discovered in 2020 as a "hero" protein, make it an intriguing subject for research in relation to ischemic stroke (IS). Our pilot study aimed to investigate whether C19orf53 SNPs are associated with IS. DNA samples from 2138 Russian subjects (947 IS and 1308 controls) were genotyped for 7 C19orf53 SNPs using probe-based PCR. Dominant (D), recessive (R), and log-additive (A) regression models in relation to the effect alleles (EA) were used to interpret associations. An increased risk of IS was associated with rs10104 (EA G; Pbonf(R) = 0.0009; Pbonf(A) = 0.0004), rs11666524 (EA A; Pbonf(R) = 0.003; Pbonf(A) = 0.02), rs346158 (EA C; Pbonf(R) = 0.006; Pbonf(A) = 0.045), and rs2277947 (EA A; Pbonf(R) = 0.002; Pbonf(A) = 0.01) in patients with obesity; with rs11666524 (EA A; Pbonf(R) = 0.02), rs346157 (EA G; Pbonf(R) = 0.036), rs346158 (EA C; Pbonf(R) = 0.005), and rs2277947 (EA A; Pbonf(R) = 0.02) in patients with low fruit and vegetable intake; and with rs10104 (EA G; Pbonf(R) = 0.03) and rs11666524 (EA A; Pbonf(R) = 0.048) in patients with low physical activity. In conclusion, our pilot study provides comprehensive genetic and bioinformatic evidence of the involvement of C19orf53 in IS risk.

GWAS-significant loci and severe COVID-19: analysis of associations, link with thromboinflammation syndrome, gene-gene, and gene-environmental interactions. Front Genet 2024; 15:1434681. [PMID: 39175753 PMCID: PMC11338913 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2024.1434681] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to replicate associations of GWAS-significant loci with severe COVID-19 in the population of Central Russia, to investigate associations of the SNPs with thromboinflammation parameters, to analyze gene-gene and gene-environmental interactions. Materials and Methods DNA samples from 798 unrelated Caucasian subjects from Central Russia (199 hospitalized COVID-19 patients and 599 controls with a mild or asymptomatic course of COVID-19) were genotyped using probe-based polymerase chain reaction for 10 GWAS-significant SNPs: rs143334143 CCHCR1, rs111837807 CCHCR1, rs17078346 SLC6A20-LLZTFL1, rs17713054 SLC6A20-LLZTFL1, rs7949972 ELF5, rs61882275 ELF5, rs12585036 ATP11A, rs67579710 THBS3, THBS3-AS1, rs12610495 DPP9, rs9636867 IFNAR2. Results SNP rs17713054 SLC6A20-LZTFL1 was associated with increased risk of severe COVID-19 in the entire group (risk allele A, OR = 1.78, 95% CI = 1.22-2.6, p = 0.003), obese individuals (OR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.52-3.5, p = 0.0002, (p bonf = 0.0004)), patients with low fruit and vegetable intake (OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.15-2.58, p = 0.01, (p bonf = 0.02)), low physical activity (OR = 1.93, 95% CI = 1.26-2.94, p = 0.0035, (p bonf = 0.007)), and nonsmokers (OR = 1.65, 95% CI = 1.11-2.46, p = 0.02). This SNP correlated with increased BMI (p = 0.006) and worsened thrombodynamic parameters (maximum optical density of the formed clot, D (p = 0.02), delayed appearance of spontaneous clots, Tsp (p = 0.02), clot size 30 min after coagulation activation, CS (p = 0.036)). SNP rs17078346 SLC6A20-LZTFL1 was linked with increased BMI (p = 0.01) and severe COVID-19 in obese individuals (risk allele C, OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.15-2.58, p = 0.01, (p bonf = 0.02)). SNP rs12610495 DPP9 was associated with increased BMI (p = 0.01), severe COVID-19 in obese patients (risk allele G, OR = 1.48, 95% CI = 1.09-2.01, p = 0.01, (p bonf = 0.02)), and worsened thrombodynamic parameters (time to the start of clot growth, Tlag (p = 0.01)). For rs7949972 ELF5, a protective effect against severe COVID-19 was observed in non-obese patients (effect allele T, OR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.47-0.95, p = 0.02, (p bonf = 0.04)), improving thrombodynamic parameters (CS (p = 0.02), stationary spatial clot growth rates, Vst (p = 0.02)). Finally, rs12585036 ATP11A exhibited a protective effect against severe COVID-19 in males (protective allele A, OR = 0.51, 95% CI = 0.32-0.83, p = 0.004). SNPs rs67579710 THBS3, THBS3-AS1, rs17713054 SLC6A20-LZTFL1, rs7949972 ELF5, rs9636867 IFNAR2-were involved in two or more of the most significant G×G interactions (p perm ≤ 0.01). The pairwise combination rs67579710 THBS3, THBS3-AS1 × rs17713054 SLC6A20-LZTFL1 was a priority in determining susceptibility to severe COVID-19 (it was included in four of the top five most significant SNP-SNP interaction models). Conclusion Overall, this study represents a comprehensive molecular-genetic and bioinformatics analysis of the involvement of GWAS-significant loci in the molecular mechanisms of severe COVID-19, gene-gene and gene-environmental interactions, and provides evidence of their relationship with thromboinflammation parameters in patients hospitalized in intensive care units.

Abstract
We showed for the first time that polymorphisms rs2075938 and rs2075938 of the NCF4 gene are associated with the risk of chronic heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=1310). In particular, haplotypes ATGTCTAT (OR=1.74, 95%CI=1.23-2.47; p=0.0017) and ATATTCAC (OR=2.83, 95%CI=1.33-6.03; p=0.0072) of NCF4 increase the risk of chronic heart failure in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The results show that NADPH oxidase subunit NCF4 is involved in the molecular mechanisms of myocardial damage in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Polymorphism of SERF2, the gene encoding a heat-resistant obscure (Hero) protein with chaperone activity, is a novel link in ischemic stroke. IBRO Neurosci Rep 2023; 14:453-461. [PMID: 37252629 PMCID: PMC10209486 DOI: 10.1016/j.ibneur.2023.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the most serious cardiovascular events associated with high risk of death or disability. The growing body of evidence highlights molecular chaperones as especially important players in the pathogenesis of the disease. Since six small proteins called "Hero" have been recently identified as a novel class of chaperones we aimed to evaluate whether SNP rs4644832 in SERF2 gene encoding the member of Hero-proteins, is associated with the risk of IS. Methods A total of 1929 unrelated Russians (861 patients with IS and 1068 healthy individuals) from Central Russia were recruited into the study. Genotyping was done using a probe-based PCR approach. Statistical analysis was carried out in the whole group and stratified by age, gender and smoking status. Results Analysis of the link between rs4644832 SERF2 and IS showed that G allele is the risk factor of IS only in females (OR=1.29, 95%CI 1.02-1.64, Padj=0.035). In addition, the analysis of associations of rs4644832 SERF2 and IS depending on the smoking status revealed that this genetic variant is associated with an increased risk of IS exclusively in non-smoking individuals (OR=1.26, 95%CI 1.01-1.56, P = 0.041). Discussion Sex- and smoking interactions between rs4644832 polymorphism and IS may be related to the impact of tobacco components metabolism and sex hormones on SERF2 expression. Conclusion The present study reveals the novel genetic association between rs4644832 polymorphism and the risk of IS suggesting that SERF2, the part of the protein quality control system, contributes to the pathogenesis of the disease.

Association between HSPA8 Gene Variants and Ischemic Stroke: A Pilot Study Providing Additional Evidence for the Role of Heat Shock Proteins in Disease Pathogenesis. Genes (Basel) 2023; 14:1171. [PMID: 37372351 DOI: 10.3390/genes14061171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 05/18/2023] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
HSPA8 is involved in many stroke-associated cellular processes, playing a pivotal role in the protein quality control system. Here we report the results of the pilot study aimed at determining whether HSPA8 SNPs are linked to the risk of ischemic stroke (IS). DNA samples from 2139 Russians (888 IS patients and 1251 healthy controls) were genotyped for tagSNPs (rs1461496, rs10892958, and rs1136141) in the HSPA8 gene using probe-based PCR. SNP rs10892958 of HSPA8 was associated with an increased risk (risk allele G) of IS in smokers (OR = 1.37; 95% CI = 1.07-1.77; p = 0.01) and patients with low fruit and vegetable consumption (OR = 1.36; 95% CI = 1.14-1.63; p = 0.002). SNP rs1136141 of HSPA8 was also associated with an increased risk of IS (risk allele A) exclusively in smokers (OR = 1.68; 95% CI = 1.23-2.28; p = 0.0007) and in patients with a low fruit and vegetable intake (OR = 1.29; 95% CI = 1.05-1.60; p = 0.04). Sex-stratified analysis revealed an association of rs10892958 HSPA8 with an increased risk of IS in males (risk allele G; OR = 1.30; 95% CI = 1.05-1.61; p = 0.01). Thus, SNPs rs10892958 and rs1136141 in the HSPA8 gene represent novel genetic markers of IS.

Abstract
The SERBP1 gene is a well-known regulator of SERPINE1 mRNA stability and progesterone signaling. However, the chaperone-like properties of SERBP1 have recently been discovered. The present pilot study investigated whether SERBP1 SNPs are associated with the risk and clinical manifestations of ischemic stroke (IS). DNA samples from 2060 unrelated Russian subjects (869 IS patients and 1191 healthy controls) were genotyped for 5 common SNPs-rs4655707, rs1058074, rs12561767, rs12566098, and rs6702742 SERBP1-using probe-based PCR. The association of SNP rs12566098 with an increased risk of IS (risk allele C; p = 0.001) was observed regardless of gender or physical activity level and was modified by smoking, fruit and vegetable intake, and body mass index. SNP rs1058074 (risk allele C) was associated with an increased risk of IS exclusively in women (p = 0.02), non-smokers (p = 0.003), patients with low physical activity (p = 0.04), patients with low fruit and vegetable consumption (p = 0.04), and BMI ≥25 (p = 0.007). SNPs rs1058074 (p = 0.04), rs12561767 (p = 0.01), rs12566098 (p = 0.02), rs6702742 (p = 0.036), and rs4655707 (p = 0.04) were associated with shortening of activated partial thromboplastin time. Thus, SERBP1 SNPs represent novel genetic markers of IS. Further studies are required to confirm the relationship between SERBP1 polymorphism and IS risk.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) is one of the main causes of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) exacerbates the development of AS. This study aimed to investigate the roles of TMAO in AS. In this study, mice were fed with high fat food (HF) and/or injected with TMAO. Oil red O staining was applied for histological analysis. ELISA, qRT-PCR, and Western blot were conducted to determine the TMAO, serum, mRNA, and protein levels. CCK-8, colony formation assay, and flow cytometry assays were performed to detect the functions of human aortic endothelial cells (HUVECs). The results showed that TMAO induced thick internal and external walls and intimal plaques in vivo, and HUVEC dysfunction in vitro. TMAO and lncRNA enriched abundant transcript 1 (NEAT1) were increased in AS clinical samples and TMAO-HUVECs. Downregulated NEAT1 inhibited proliferation and promoted the apoptosis of HUVECs. NEAT1 regulated the expression of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) via sponging miR-370-3p. Overexpression of miR-370-3p facilitated the effects of NEAT1 on the cellular functions of HUVECs, while STAT3 exerted opposing effects. The activation of STAT3 promoted the expression of flavin-containing monooxygenase-3 (FMO3). Taken together, our results show that TMAO-NEAT1/miR-370-3p/STAT3/FMO3 forms a positive feedback loop to exacerbate the development of AS. This novel feedback loop may be a promising therapeutic target for AS.

Abstract
Aim: Polymorphisms at LPA, LDLR, APOE, APOC1, MYLIP and ABCG2 are attractive targets for assessment of their impact on lipid-lowering therapy with rosuvastatin. The present study investigated whether polymorphisms at these genes are associated with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) development, and reduction of atherogenic lipids and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in CAD patients, taking rosuvastatin. Materials & methods: 190 CAD patients and 1697 subjects were enrolled in pharmacogenetic and genetic association study, respectively. SNP genotyping was done using the MassARRAY-4 system. Results: MYLIP rs6924995, rs3757354, APOC1 rs445925, LDLR rs6511720, APOE rs7412, ABCG2 rs2199936, rs1481012 variants were significantly associated with CAD susceptibility (p = 0.016, 0.0003, <0.0001, <0.0001, 0.013, 0.016, 0.0035, respectively), as well as with CIMT regression (except ABCG2 variants; p = 0.05, 0.039, 0.039, 0.016, 0.0065), and changes in plasma lipids during rosuvastatin therapy. Conclusion: The studied polymorphisms possess pleiotropic effects on plasma lipids and CIMT, CAD susceptibility, and determine lipid-lowering response to rosuvastatin.
