Genes (Basel) 2024; 15:712. [PMID: 38927649 PMCID: PMC11203263 DOI: 10.3390/genes15060712] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Numerous studies have tried to evaluate the potential role of thrombophilia-related genes in retinal vein occlusion (RVO); however, there is limited research on genes related to different pathophysiological mechanisms involved in RVO. In view of the strong contribution of oxidative stress and inflammation to the pathogenesis of RVO, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the association of inflammation- and oxidative-stress-related polymorphisms from three different genes [apolipoprotein E (APOE), paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)] and the risk of RVO in a Greek population. Participants in this case-control study were 50 RVO patients (RVO group) and 50 healthy volunteers (control group). Blood samples were collected on EDTA tubes and genomic DNA was extracted. Genotyping of rs854560 (L55M) and rs662 (Q192R) for the PON1 gene, rs429358 and rs7412 for the APOE gene and rs1801157 [SDF1-3'G(801)A] for SDF-1 gene was performed using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. Multiple genetic models (codominant, dominant, recessive, overdominant and log-additive) and haplotype analyses were performed using the SNPStats web tool to assess the correlation between the genetic polymorphisms and the risk of RVO. Binary logistic regression analysis was used for the association analysis between APOE gene variants and RVO. Given the multifactorial nature of the disease, our statistical analysis was adjusted for the most important systemic risk factors (age, hypertension and diabetes mellitus). The dominant genetic model for the PON1 Q192R single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the association analysis revealed that there was a statistically significant difference between the RVO group and the control group. Specifically, after adjusting for age and hypertension, the PON1 192 R allele (QR + RR) was found to be associated with a statistically significantly higher risk of RVO compared to the QQ genotype (OR = 2.51; 95% CI = 1.02-6.14, p = 0.04). The statistically significant results were maintained after including diabetes in the multivariate model in addition to age and hypertension (OR = 2.83; 95% CI = 1.01-7.97, p = 0.042). No statistically significant association was revealed between the other studied polymorphisms and the risk of RVO. Haplotype analysis for PON1 SNPs, L55M and Q192R, revealed no statistically significant correlation. In conclusion, PON1 192 R allele carriers (QR + RR) were associated with a statistically significantly increased risk of RVO compared to the QQ homozygotes. These findings suggest that the R allele of the PON1 Q192R is likely to play a role as a risk factor for retinal vein occlusion.

Exploring the components and mechanisms of Shen-qi-wang-mo granule in the treatment of retinal vein occlusion by UPLC-Triple TOF MS/MS and network pharmacology. Sci Rep 2023; 13:5330. [PMID: 37005436 PMCID: PMC10066998 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-32472-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2022] [Accepted: 03/28/2023] [Indexed: 04/04/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to explore the substance basis and mechanisms of Shen-qi-wang-mo Granule (SQWMG), a traditional Chinese medicine prescription that had been clinically utilized to treat retinal vein occlusion (RVO) for 38 years. Components in SQWMG were analyzed by UPLC-Triple-TOF/MS and a total of 63 components were identified with ganoderic acids (GA) being the largest proportion. Potential targets of active components were retrieved from SwissTargetPrediction. RVO-related targets were acquired from related disease databases. Core targets of SQWMG against RVO were acquired by overlapping the above targets. The 66 components (including 5 isomers) and 169 targets were obtained and concluded into a component-target network. Together with biological enrichment analysis of targets, it revealed the crucial role of the "PI3K-Akt signaling pathway", "MAPK signaling pathway" and their downstream factor iNOS and TNF-α. The 20 key targets of SQWMG in treating RVO were acquired from the network and pathway analysis. The effects of SQWMG on targets and pathways were validated by molecular docking based on AutoDock Vina and qPCR experiment. The molecular docking showed great affinity for these components and targets, especially on ganoderic acids (GA) and alisols (AS), which were both triterpenoids and qPCR exhibited remarkably reduced inflammatory factor gene expression through regulation of these two pathways. Finally, the key components were also identified from rat serum after treatment of SQWMG.

The Relationship Between MMP17 Variants and Ischemic Stroke Risk in the Population from Shaanxi Province in China. Pharmgenomics Pers Med 2023; 16:59-66. [PMID: 36733691 PMCID: PMC9889100 DOI: 10.2147/pgpm.s396076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/03/2022] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Ischemic stroke (IS) was a multifactorial disease, which was the main cause of death and adult disability. Genetic factors cannot be ignored. Objective The present study discussed the relationship between MMP17 variants and the susceptibility of IS. Methods Based on the Agena MassARRAY platform, we genotyped single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the MMP17 gene in 1345 participants (670 controls and 675 cases). We used logistic regression analysis to analyze the association of MMP17 SNPs with the risk of IS in the Chinese population, with odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). False-positive report probability (FPRP) detected false positives on the significant results. Besides, we detected the SNP-SNP interaction to predict IS risk by multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) analysis. Results In the total analysis, MMP17 rs7975920 conferred an increased susceptibility to IS. After a stratified analysis by age and gender, the significant association between rs7975920 and IS risk was displayed in the subjects aged >55 years old and females. After stratified analysis by smoking and drinking, MMP17 rs6598163 was related to the risk of IS in smokers and rs7975920 was associated with the risk of IS in smokers and was in correlation with IS risk in drinkers. Conclusion In short, we first observed that MMP17 rs7975920 and rs6598163 were related to the risk of IS. The above results provided a theoretical basis for the elaboration of the role of MMP17 in IS in the Chinese population.

[PMID: 36282475 PMCID: PMC9759140 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2797] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2022] [Revised: 09/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke (IS), a multifactorial and polygenic disease, is the most common cause of death. This study aimed to determine the roles of MMP8/MMP10 polymorphisms in IS susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. METHODS MMP8 rs1940475 and rs3765620, and MMP10 rs17860949 from 700 IS patients and 700 controls were genotyped by the MassARRAY iPLEX platform. The impact of polymorphisms on IS risk was evaluated by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Our study indicated that rs17860949 in MMP10 was significantly associated with a reduced risk of IS (OR = 0.632, p = .002). Precisely, stratification analysis showed that rs17860949 was relate to a decreased susceptibility to IS in patients aged > 55 years (OR = 0.472, p < .001), males (OR = 0.632, p = .012), nonsmokers (OR = 0.610, p = .017), and nondrinkers (OR = 0.559, p = .006). All these significant findings were verified by false-positive report probability test. Furthermore, GG genotype and AG genotype in MMP8 rs3765620 polymorphism were related to a reduced triglycerides concentration (p = .018). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that rs17860949 in MMP10 may play a protective role in IS in the Chinese Han population.
