Abstract
Several studies showed that adipokines are associated with types of cancer which are documented to be effective in cancer biology. This study aimed to determine the relationship between vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism and the vaspin level with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and multinodular goiter (MNG). In this cross-sectional study, we recruited 170 candidates. Ninety patients with newly diagnosed (PTC 60 patients and MNG 30 patients), and 80 participants as a control group referred to Shariati Hospital, Tehran, Iran, were enrolled in the study. The vaspin hormone measurements were conducted utilizing the Elisa Kit. Using Tetra amplification resistant-mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR), the genotype of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2236242 was determined. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software version 20. Our findings showed significant age and genotype frequency differences in three groups (p-value < 0.05). There was no significant difference in vaspin levels between PTC, and control groups. The level of vaspin in MNG compared to the control group had significantly different, but there were no differences after adjustment for age. Results showed the genotypes of vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism are not associated with the level of vaspin. The genotypes and allele frequencies of vaspin rs2236242 in the PTC and MNG groups were significant compared to the control group. We have found vaspin rs2236242 gene polymorphism as a potential marker of papillary thyroid cancer. The A allele of the vaspin SNP rs2236242 plays a protective role against PTC and MNG. SNP at rs2236242 was not significantly associated with vaspin levels.

Pirsaraei VA, Khodabandehloo H, Mousavi MA, Zhiani M, Nazari S, Fathi M. Association of RARRES2 rs17173608 gene polymorphism and serum Chemerin with acute myocardial infarction and its risk factors: A case-control study in an Iranian population. Gene 2024; 900:148020. [PMID: 38000703 DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2023.148020] [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: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The adipokine Chemerin and the retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2) gene have been associated with an increased incidence of obesity, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease. The impact of RARRES2 rs17173608 gene polymorphism on acute myocardial infarction and Chemerin levels has not yet been entirely elucidated. This study aimed to assess the association of RARRES2 rs17173608 gene polymorphism and serum Chemerin with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its risk factors in an Iranian population. METHODS In this case-control study, 134 AMI patients and 100 healthy controls were recruited from tertiary referral hospitals in Zanjan, Iran. Whole blood samples were collected for DNA extraction and Chemerin level determination. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantify plasma levels of Chemerin. Tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis techniques were used to detect gene polymorphism of Chemerin rs17173608 from DNA samples. RESULTS Serum Chemerin levels were higher in the control group than in the AMI group. However, after adjusting for age, sex, and other risk factors, there was no significant association between serum Chemerin level and AMI occurrence. In the genotype analysis, 21.6% of patients had the TT genotype, and 78.4% had the TG genotype. The GG genotype was not detected in any patient. The genotype distribution of the healthy control group was 19.0% TT genotype, 80.0% TG genotype, and 1.0% GG genotype. Serum Chemerin levels in participants with TG genotype were statistically different between case and control groups. CONCLUSION Serum Chemerin levels and RARRES2 rs17173608 gene polymorphism were not correlated with AMI occurrence after adjusting for AMI risk factors in Iranian patients. More research with a larger sample size and diverse ethnicities is needed to corroborate our findings.

Abstract
Chemerin is an adipokine produced by the white adipose tissue and other tissues, which plays various roles in the pathogenesis of inflammatory and metabolic diseases in multiple organs. The present review aims at gathering scientific evidence reported in the last ten years, concerning the relationship of chemerin with alterations of glycaemic control, such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes in humans. Although the vast majority of the studies have shown a positive correlation between the chemerin level and a bad glycaemic control, a general consensus has not been reached. The reported results come from case-control and observational longitudinal studies, thereby limiting their interpretation. In fact, it cannot be stated whether insulin resistance and diabetes lead to an increase in chemerin levels or, on the contrary, if high levels of chemerin contribute to an impaired glycaemic control. Elevated levels of circulating chemerin are also associated with gestational diabetes mellitus. Chemerin gene polymorphisms could be proposed as mediators of glucose-related diseases. Nevertheless, to date very little is known about their implication in glucose metabolism. With regard to the mechanisms of action, chemerin impairs insulin cascade signaling by acting on several proteins of this cascade and by inducing inflammation.

Abstract
Adipokines were shown to exert crucial roles in rheumatic diseases. This study aimed to assess the role of chemerin, apelin, vaspin, and omentin adipokines and their genetic variants rs17173608, rs2235306, rs2236242, and rs2274907, respectively, in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis in Egyptian patients. A total of 150 RA patients and 150 healthy individuals were recruited. Blood samples were collected and used for genotyping. Serum was separated and used for expression analysis by quantitative PCR, and various biochemical markers determination by ELISA. Serum protein levels of chemerin and vaspin, as well as their gene expression levels were higher, while those of apelin and omentin were lower in RA patients and were associated with most of RA clinical and laboratory characteristics. G allele of chemerin rs17173608, T allele of vaspin rs2236242, and T allele of omentin rs2274907 were more frequent in RA patients. Serum levels and gene expression levels of chemerin in GG genotype carriers and vaspin in TT genotype group were significantly higher, while those of omentin in TT genotype carriers were significantly lower than RA patients with other genotypes. There was no association between apelin rs2235306 and RA. Chemerin rs17173608, vaspin rs2236242, and omentin rs2274907 polymorphisms were associated with increased susceptibility to RA.

Abstract
(1) Background: Chemerin, or the RARRES2 (Retinoic Acid Receptor Responder 2) gene, is found to be associated with an increased incidence of insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, type 2 diabetes (T2D), and coronary artery disease (CAD). This study investigates associations of RARRES2rs17173608 with insulin resistance and the severity of CAD in non-obese T2D patients in relation to the clinical and genetic factors. (2) Methods: A total of 300 patients with T2D and CAD were recruited in this study. The associations of insulin resistance and the severity of CAD with RARRES2rs17173608 and clinical factors were assessed. The genotyping procedures were performed using the TaqMan method. The significant associations (p ≤ 0.05) from preliminary tests were employed to carry out the secondary analysis. (3) Results: RARRES2rs17173608 (TT, TG, and GG polymorphisms in the preliminary analysis; TG and GG polymorphisms in a secondary analysis) was associated with insulin resistance and the severity of CAD in both the preliminary and secondary analysis (all p-values were < 0.05). Additionally, in the secondary analysis, FPG and ACEI were also associated with insulin resistance and the severity of CAD (all p-values were < 0.05). (4) Conclusion: From the preliminary findings, rs17173608 is a significant predictor of insulin resistance and the severity of CAD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psoriasis known as a chronic inflammatory skin disease is accompanied by metabolic disorders such as obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Vaspin (a serine protease inhibitor derived from visceral adipose tissue) is a newly identified adipokine and a link between inflammation and obesity has been reported. We aimed to determine whether vaspin gene polymorphism is associated with the development and/or clinical features of psoriasis vulgaris. METHODS Our study group consisted of 96 psoriasis vulgaris patients and 100 matched controls. Vaspin rs2236242 gene was genotyped using PCR. RESULTS The vaspin genotypes showed a meaningful difference between psoriasis and control groups (p = 0.02). The frequency of the vaspin rs2236242 TT genotype was lower in psoriasis patients than in control participants (p < 0.05). The TA genotype was associated with a 2.38-fold increased risk of psoriasis compared to the TT genotype (p = 0.007, odds ratio: 2.38; 95% confidence interval: 1.25-4.55), but not the AA genotype. All subjects were the Turkish population, the study in other populations is needed and the sample size was small in number. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated that vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism is related to psoriasis in the Turkish population. Polymorphisms of the vaspin gene might serve as diagnostic biomarkers of psoriasis.

Abstract
AIMS Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) a global problem, which comprises a cardio-metabolic cluster of risk factors, increases the risk for type-2 diabetes (T2DM) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD). To date, the best laboratory-based biomarker for MetS appears to be high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Chemerin, a novel adipokine is increased in MetS and appears to contribute to both insulin resistance and inflammation. In this pilot study, we tested if the chemerin:HDL-C or chemerin:adiponectin ratios are better biomarkers for predicting MetS than hsCRP. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled patients and controls with nascent MetS, uncomplicated by diabetes, ASCVD, macro-inflammation, and smoking using rigorous criteria. Fasting blood samples were obtained in order to calculate insulin resistance in the liver (HOMA-IR) and adipose tissue (ADIPO-IR) and for measurement of chemerin and adiponectin levels. Statistical analyses including receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate data. RESULTS We observed the chemerin:HDL-C ratio is significantly increased in MetS and increases with severity of MetS (p < .001). The chemerin: adiponectin ratio was not significantly increased following adjustment for age and waist circumference. The chemerin:HDL-C ratio correlated with BMI, WC, triglycerides, plasma glucose, HDL-C, and both HOMA-IR and ADIPO-IR. ROC curve analysis showed that the chemerin:HDL-C ratio area under the curve (AUC) was greater than the AUC for hsCRP. CONCLUSION In this preliminary report, we demonstrate that the ratio of chemerin to HDL-C is a valid biomarker of MetS and appears to be a better predictor than hsCRP. These findings need to be confirmed in larger studies.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the primary cause of death worldwide. Vaspin was a recently described adipokine, playing a protective role in many metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to assess the relation of serum vaspin levels and vaspin rs2236242 polymorphisms with CAD. The study included 105 healthy subjects and 105 CAD patients. Serum vaspin concentrations and vaspin rs2236242 polymorphisms were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and polymerase chain reaction, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the genotypes of CAD patients (TT 26.7%, TA 71.4%, and AA 1.9%) and controls (TT 70.5%, TA 28.6%, and AA 1%; χ2 = 40.3; df = 2; p = .000). The TA genotype increased the risk of CAD (odds ratio [OR] = 6.60; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 3.60-12.1; p = .000) as compared to the TT genotype. There was a statistically significant difference between the allelic distribution of CAD patients (T 62.4% and A 37.6%) and controls (T 84.8% and A 15.2%; χ2 = 27.0; df = 1; p = .000). Those carrying the A allele had a higher risk of CAD compared to those with the T allele (OR = 3.35; 95% CI = 2.10-5.36; p = .000). The serum vaspin concentrations of the patients with TT, TA, and AA genotypes were 30.4 ± 1.72, 28.4 ± 2.89, and 36.4 ± 6.38 pg/ml, respectively, and there was no significant difference between the serum vaspin levels and vaspin genotypes (p = .696). All of the above suggested that the vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism was associated with CAD in the Turkish population.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The adipokine chemerin retinoic acid receptor responder protein 2 (RARRES2) has been associated with insulin resistance, type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM), obesity, and metabolic syndrome (MetS). The impact of RARRES2 rs17173608 gene polymorphism on MetS and chemerin levels is not completely elucidated. This study included 100 patients with MetS and 68 healthy subjects (non-MetS group). The RARRES2 rs17173608 gene variant was analyzed by tetra amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR). Circulating chemerin levels were determined by ELISA. Serum urea, creatinine, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and traditional lipid profile were measured by colorimetric methods. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and non-traditional lipid parameters were calculated.
Results
Serum chemerin levels were significantly higher in MetS than in non-MetS subjects, type II diabetics (T2DM) than non-diabetics, and overweight compared to lean subjects, but it did not differ significantly between patients with and without hypertension. Strikingly, newly diagnosed diabetic patients had significantly higher serum chermerin levels. Correlation and multiple linear regression analysis showed that serum chemerin levels and non-traditional lipid parameters were correlated significantly with the clinical criteria of MetS. Genotyping and allelic frequency distribution of RARRES2 rs17173608 gene polymorphism showed its significant association with MetS. The TT genotype of RARRES2 rs17173608 SNP was more distributed in T2DM in comparison with non-diabetics, and it was associated significantly with higher serum chemerin and higher glycated hemoglobin levels. RARRES2 rs17173608 GG genotype and G allele frequency were less distributed in T2DM patients than in non-diabetic patients.
Conclusions
The RARRES2 rs17173608 SNP might have an impact on chemerin levels and lipid parameters. The GG genotype and G allele may have a protective role towards the risk of T2DM but not for MetS. Serum chemerin and non-traditional lipid profile are significantly associated with MetS.

Purpose/Aim: So far no research concerning the omentin-1 (ITLN1) rs2274907 and vaspin (SERPINA12) rs2236242 polymorphisms has been carried out in a healthy pediatric population. We analyzed associations of these polymorphisms with anthropometric parameters, lipid profile, as well as adiponectin, leptin and soluble leptin receptor (sOB-R) levels in prepubertal healthy children, to search for their possible role in the risk of obesity and obesity-related disorders.Materials and Methods: Frequencies of these polymorphisms were analyzed by the restriction fragment length polymorphism in 89 normal-weight children. The body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Serum levels of adipokines were measured using ELISA methods.Results: We observed differences in values of HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.002) and triglycerides (p = 0.039) in children carrying different genotypes of the ITLN1 rs2274907 polymorphism. In children carrying different genotypes of the SERPINA12 rs2236242 polymorphism differences in BMI (p =0.025) and BMI Z-score (p = 0.01) values were found. Significant relations between anthropometric parameters and levels of HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were associated with minor alleles of the studied polymorphisms. In addition, leptin/sOB-R ratio was related to HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.004) and triglycerides (p = 0.03) levels in children carrying minor allele of the SERPINA12 rs2236242 SNP.Conclusions: We suggest that both ITLN1 rs2274907 and SERPINA12 rs2236242 polymorphisms influence body composition and lipid profile in prepubertal healthy children. Relations between anthropometric parameters, lipid and adipokine levels may be associated with minor alleles of the studied polymorphisms. The possible role of these polymorphisms in the modulation of the risk of obesity and obesity-related disorders in the later life might be considered.

Abstract
Vaspin, an insulin-sensitizing adipokine, has been associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The present study aimed to investigate the distribution of genotypes and high-risk alleles of vaspin genetic variants (rs77060950 G/T and rs2236242 A/T), in Gujarat subpopulation (India). Genomic DNA isolated from PBMCs was used to genotype vaspin polymorphisms by PCR-RFLP and ARMS-PCR from 502 controls and 478 patients. RNA isolated from visceral adipose tissue (VAT) of 22 controls and 20 patients was used to assess vaspin transcript levels by qPCR while the vaspin titre of the subjects was assayed using ELISA. Phenotypic characteristics of Fasting Blood Glucose (FBG), BMI and plasma lipid profile were estimated and analyzed for the genotype-phenotype correlation. We identified a significant association of rs2236242 A/T with T2D as the TT genotype conferred a 3.087-fold increased risk. The TT genotype showed association with increased FBG, BMI and Triglycerides levels. Increased GA, GT and TA haplotype frequencies, decreased VAT transcript and vaspin protein levels in T2D patients was observed, which were further negatively correlated with FBG and BMI. In conclusion, rs2274907 A/T polymorphism is strongly associated with reduced vaspin transcript and protein levels, and related metabolic alterations that may play a role in the advancement of T2D.

Abstract
AIM Vaspin is an adipokine separated from visceral fat tissues of obese diabetic rats. This study was to investigate the association between vaspin rs2236242 gene polymorphism and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or obesity in a Chinese population. MATERIALS AND METHODS T2DM patients and nondiabetic controls were recruited from Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University (Shanghai, China) from May 1, 2015 to June 30, 2017. Clinicopathologic characteristics were recorded and their blood samples were collected. Serum vaspin levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and vaspin rs2236242 genotypes by tetra-amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Two hundred and ninety-nine patients with T2DM and 311 controls were recruited at last. The vaspin genotypes of diabetic patients were distinct from nondiabetic controls (χ 2 = 54.611, p < 0.0001). Genotyping revealed that T2DM patients have a greater prevalence of A allele compared with controls (61.9% vs. 42.1%, p < 0.0001). A allele was associated with an increased risk of T2DM (odds ratio = 2.23, 95% confidence interval = 1.773-2.804, p < 0.0001) compared with T allele. The genotype distribution did not differ among nondiabetic subjects with or without obesity. The serum vaspin levels were higher in T2DM patients and obese controls than the nonobese controls, however, the rs2236242 was not found to be significantly related to serum vaspin levels. CONCLUSIONS Our findings showed the association between vaspin rs2236242 gene variants with obesity and T2DM in a Chinese population. People with rs2236242 A allele had a 2.23-fold increased risk of T2DM. These findings suggest that vaspin rs2236242 may serve as a potential diagnostic and/or therapeutic targets for T2DM.

Abstract
The associations between serum vaspin levels and metabolic or coronary artery disease (CAD) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is under the scope of current researchers. Therefore, this adipokine can be considered as a biomarker of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of the study was to analyze the associations between the vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism and physical activity in relation to MetS and its components. The analysis involved the genetic material and clinical data of 108 individuals with MetS and 110 controls. Vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism was detected using the tetra-primer amplification-refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS PCR) method. The TA genotype of vaspin rs2236242 was associated with a greater risk of MetS and its components compared with the TT genotype. The analysis of interactions between genotype and walking time revealed that a walking time longer than 60 min./day significantly decreased the risk of MetS in the TA carriers (p = 0.007). The obtained results suggest that any unfavorable effect of the TA genotype of the vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism can be essentially reduced, or even reversed, in a case of individuals walking longer than 60 min. a day. The analysis of the interaction between vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism and walking showed that a walking time of longer than 1 hour a day significantly reduced the risk of MetS, elevated blood pressure and triglycerides concentration.

Abstract
Introduction: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with critical kidney illness that seriously affects the lifespan. Genetic factors and oxidative stress could play critical role in the development of ESRD. We assessed the association between chemerin rs17173608 T/G and vaspin rs2236242 T/A genes variants with the risk of ESRD and their correlation with plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) level. Materials and methods: In a case-control study, 131 gender and age-matched unrelated healthy controls and 110 ESRD patients were enrolled. The chemerin rs17173608 T/G and vaspin rs2236242 T/A were detected by Tetra primer-amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR). The MDA concentration was determined by HPLC. Results: Our findings for the first time revealed that in codominant genetic model (T/G vs. T/T genotype), the T/G genotype of chemerin gene significantly had a protective role against ESRD susceptibility. Also, in the presence of chemerin G allele, the risk of ESRD decreased by 0.79-fold (p = .048) in Kurdish population of Iran. The MDA serum levels in ESRD patients carrying the chemerin T/G + G/G genotype of rs17173608 T/G and also in carriers of A/A + T/A genotype of vaspin rs2236242 T/A were significantly higher compared to those in control subjects. The overall distribution of vaspin rs2236242 T/A genotypes and alleles comparing ESRD patients and healthy subjects were not statistically significant. Conclusion: We found that the G allele of chemerin rs17173608 compared to T allele decreased the risk of ESRD, and there was a significant association between chemerin and vaspin variants with plasma MDA level in a sample of the Iranian population.

Abstract
Chemerin, an adipokine and inflammatory mediator, is associated with metabolic, inflammation- and immune-mediated diseases. The genetic, clinical, and biomarker correlates of circulating chemerin levels have not been completely elucidated. We analyzed the determinants and correlates of retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2; encoding chemerin) gene variants and chemerin levels in the Taiwanese population. In total, 612 individuals were recruited. Clinical and metabolic phenotypes, 13 inflammatory markers, 5 adipokines, and 6 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) covering the RARRES2 region were analyzed. High chemerin levels and chemerin level tertiles were positively associated with multiple metabolic phenotypes and circulating inflammatory marker and adipokine levels and negatively associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and adiponectin levels and estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs). Genotype and haplotype analyses showed that RARRES2 SNPs were significantly associated with chemerin, fibrinogen, interleukin 6, and lipocalin 2 levels. Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that C-reactive protein level, leptin level, triglyceride level, eGFR, rs3735167 genotypes, sex, and soluble P-selectin level were independently associated with chemerin levels. In conclusion, pleiotropic associations were noted between RARRES2 variants, circulating chemerin levels and multiple metabolic phenotypes and inflammatory marker levels. This study provides further evidence for the potential roles of chemerin in metabolic and inflammation-related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vaspin is an adipokine that is potentially linking obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes. AIM The present study aimed to investigate the impact of vaspin rs2236242 gene polymorphism on the risk of obesity, diabetes, their metabolic traits, and serum vaspin levels in a sample of Upper Egyptian women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 224 subjects, 112 obese (62 non diabetics, 50 diabetics) and 112 controls were included in this case control study. Vaspin gene rs2236242 polymorphism was performed using tetra-amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS-PCR) and serum vaspin levels were estimated by ELISA. RESULTS The minor (A) allele of vaspin rs2236242 gene polymorphism was significantly lower in obese (30.8%) than controls (43.7%) (P=0.005). The protective effect was evident in dominant and recessive inheritance models (TT vs TA+AA, P=0.004 and TT+TA vs AA, P=0.036). After adjusting genotypes for diabetes there were no significant association between vaspin rs2236242 gene polymorphism and obesity but significant association was maintained in the obese diabetics. Vaspin serum levels were found to be lower in minor protective (AA) genotype carriers than the other two genotypes (P<0.001). In the mean-time serum vaspin levels were significantly higher in obese diabetics and non-diabetics than controls (P<0.001 each).There were significant positive correlations between vaspin levels and hs-CRP, cholesterol, LDL-C, fasting glucose, HOMA-IR, insulin, and ALT values (P<0.05 each) and a negative correlation with HDL-C (P<0.01). CONCLUSION The minor A allele of vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism plays a protective role against obesity and diabetes but this relation is largely ascribed to its effect on insulin resistance. The serum vaspin concentration was lower in minor protective allele carriers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study of vaspin SNP in Upper Egyptian women. The entire understanding of vaspin intimate mechanistic action might enable the development of novel etiology-based treatment strategies for obesity, the complex genetic trait.

BACKGROUND/AIM Genetic predisposition is implicated in the etiology of metabolic syndrome. This study aimed to investigate the1397645907association of vaspin rs2236242 and leptin rs7799039 polymorphisms with their serum levels and with the risk of developing metabolic syndrome in Egyptian women. MATERIALS AND METHODS This case control study included 100 Egyptian women with metabolic syndrome and 100 without metabolic syndrome. The genotypes of vaspin rs2236242 and leptin rs7799039 were detected by a methodology based on PCR-RFLP. Serum vaspin and leptin levels were determined by ELISA. RESULTS The metabolic syndrome group was associated with higher serum vaspin and leptin levels when compared to the nonmetabolic syndrome group. The AA genotype of leptin rs7799039 was associated with metabolic syndrome and with higher serum leptin levels, while the different genotypes of vaspin rs2236242 were not associated with metabolic syndrome or different serum vaspin levels. CONCLUSION The AA genotype of leptin rs7799039 was associated with metabolic syndrome and higher serum leptin levels. Serum leptin and vaspin can be used as diagnostic markers of metabolic syndrome.

Abstract
Stimulated by retinoic acid gene homolog 6 (STRA6) and retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2) are candidate genes involved in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Three tag-SNPs in STRA6 and one in RARRES2 gene were selected and genotyped with TaqMan or PCR-RFLP method in 603 populations (571 patients with T2D versus 632 control subjects) in Southern Han Chinese. We estimated the interactions between T2DM risk and genetic variants in the STRA6 and RARRES2 genes using polymerase chain reaction. Rs736118 in STRA6 gene were significantly associated with T2DM occurrence in the recessive genetic model. The genotype of rs974456 was significantly associated with T2DM in the dominant genetic model correlated to sex, MBI, and triglyceride. However, the association of other SNPs with T2DM was not found. Furthermore, smoking history and other factors may be independent risk factors for the incidence of T2DM. This study suggested that a role of STRA6 polymorphism could also be of value in predicting the risk of T2DM while RARRES2 polymorphism could not predict the risk of T2DM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the association between the rs17173608 chemerin polymorphism and polycystic ovary syndrome risk (PCOS). MATERIALS AND METHODS This case-control study was performed on 150 patients with PCOS and 150 normal women as the control group. Tetra-amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the polymorphism. RESULTS Our finding showed a positive association between the chemerin gene rs17173608 polymorphism and risk of PCOS. In the dominant effect of the G allele (comparison between TG+GG and TT), TG+GG genotypes were associated with the risk of PCOS (odds ratio = 2; 95% confidence interval = 1.3-3.2, p = 0.003). The G allele is thus dominant and increases the risk of PCOS as compared to the T allele (odds ratio = 1.7, 95% confidence interval = 1.1-2.5, p = 0.009). Nonetheless, there was no significant association between chemerin rs17173608 gene polymorphism and PCOS after adjusting genotypes for body mass index and age. CONCLUSION These results suggested that there was a significant association between chemerin rs17173608 polymorphism and the PCOS; but this relationship was affected by obesity status.

AIM The metabolic syndrome is a complex of interrelated risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The adipokines, chemerin and vaspin, are known to have metabolic regulatory roles. This study aimed to assess the relation of chemerin rs17173608 and vaspin rs2236242 polymorphisms with metabolic syndrome and its related phenotypes in Egyptian women. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study included 100 healthy female subjects and 100 metabolic syndrome patients. The component traits of metabolic syndrome were determined and the genotypes of the polymorphisms were assessed using the tetra amplification refractory mutation system polymerase chain reaction procedure. RESULTS The minor G allele of the chemerin rs17173608 polymorphism had a significantly higher frequency in metabolic syndrome patients (p = 0.0001). The component traits of metabolic syndrome were significantly increased in the carriers of the GG and TG genotypes. In contrast, the rare A allele of vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism was significantly higher in the control subjects (p = 0.005). The carriers of the TA and AA genotypes showed significant relation with lower values of the phenotypes of metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION Metabolic syndrome in Egyptian females is associated with the minor allele of chemerin rs17173608 polymorphism, whereas the minor allele of vaspin rs2236242 polymorphism plays a protective role against metabolic syndrome.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism in the Coding Region of Bovine Chemerin Gene and Their Associations with Carcass Traits in Japanese Black Cattle. ASIAN-AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF ANIMAL SCIENCES 2015; 28:1084-9. [PMID: 26104515 PMCID: PMC4478475 DOI: 10.5713/ajas.14.0560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2014] [Revised: 10/14/2014] [Accepted: 12/31/2014] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Chemerin, highly expressed in adipose and liver tissues, regulates glucose and lipid metabolism and immunity in these tissues in ruminants and mice. Our previous reports showed that chemerin is involved in adipogenesis and lipid metabolism in adipose tissue as an adipokine. The aim of the present study was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the coding region of the chemerin gene and to analyze their effects on carcass traits and intramuscular fatty acid compositions in Japanese Black cattle. The SNPs in the bovine chemerin gene were detected in 232 Japanese Black steers (n = 161) and heifers (n = 71) using DNA sequencing. The results revealed five novel silent mutations: NM_001046020: c.12A>G (4aa), c.165G<A (55aa), c.276C>T (92aa), c.321 A>G (107aa), and c.396C>T (132aa). There was no association between 4 of the SNPs (c.12A>G [4aa], c.165G<A [55aa], c.321 A>G [107aa], and c.396C>T) and carcass traits or intramuscular fatty acid compositions. Regarding the remaining SNP, c.276C>T, we found that cattle with genotype CC had a higher beef marbling score than that of cattle with genotype CT, whereas cattle with genotype CT had a higher body condition score (p<0.10). Further, cattle with genotype CC had significantly higher C18:0 content in their intramuscular fat tissue than that of cattle with genotype CT (p<0.05). On the other hand, cattle with genotype CT had significantly higher C14:0 and C16:0 content in their intramuscular fat tissue (p<0.05). Moreover, the number of individuals carrying the minor allele of c.276C>T SNP is small. It is suggested that the c.276C>T SNP of the chemerin gene has potential in cattle breeding using modern methods, such as marker assisted selection. So, further functional and physiological research elucidating the impact of the chemerin gene on bovine lipid metabolism including fatty acid synthesis will help in understanding these results.

Abstract
Chemerin is an adipokine proposed to link obesity and chronic inflammation of adipose tissue. Genetic factors determining chemerin release from adipose tissue are yet unknown. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for serum chemerin in three independent cohorts from Europe: Sorbs and KORA from Germany and PPP-Botnia from Finland (total N = 2,791). In addition, we measured mRNA expression of genes within the associated loci in peripheral mononuclear cells by micro-arrays, and within adipose tissue by quantitative RT-PCR and performed mRNA expression quantitative trait and expression-chemerin association studies to functionally substantiate our loci. Heritability estimate of circulating chemerin levels was 16.2% in the Sorbs cohort. Thirty single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at chromosome 7 within the retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2)/Leucine Rich Repeat Containing (LRRC61) locus reached genome-wide significance (p<5.0×10−8) in the meta-analysis (the strongest evidence for association at rs7806429 with p = 7.8×10−14, beta = −0.067, explained variance 2.0%). All other SNPs within the cluster were in linkage disequilibrium with rs7806429 (minimum r2 = 0.43 in the Sorbs cohort). The results of the subgroup analyses of males and females were consistent with the results found in the total cohort. No significant SNP-sex interaction was observed. rs7806429 was associated with mRNA expression of RARRES2 in visceral adipose tissue in women (p<0.05 after adjusting for age and body mass index). In conclusion, the present meta-GWAS combined with mRNA expression studies highlights the role of genetic variation in the RARRES2 locus in the regulation of circulating chemerin concentrations. Chemerin is an adipokine proposed to link obesity and chronic inflammation of adipose tissue. In the present study we show that circulating chemerin is a heritable trait. In a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 2,791 individuals from Germany and Finland, we identified common genetic variants which associate with serum chemerin levels. The variants map within the retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2)/Leucine Rich Repeat Containing (LRRC61) at chromosome 7. To better understand the potential functionality of the identified variants, we also provide insights into the mRNA expression of RARRES2 (encoding chemerin) in blood and adipose tissue. Our results highlight the role and function of genetic variation in the RARRES2 locus in the regulation of circulating chemerin concentrations.

Abstract
AIMS Visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin (vaspin) was identified as a new adipocytokine. Many studies reported vaspin concentrations in obese subjects and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. However, large variation in levels of vaspin seen in different studies may be attributable to differences of sample size. The aim of this study is to establish an accurate confidence interval of vaspin levels in obese subjects and T2DM patients using a large-scale meta-analysis. METHODS Publications of the association between vaspin and obesity and T2DM in the databases of Medline, PubMed and EMBase were collected. The keywords included "vaspin" and "visceral adipose tissue-derived serpin". Review manager 5.0 was used to process the data. RESULTS For the analysis of obesity, 6 studies with 1826 participants were included in our meta-analysis; the level of vaspin was 0.52ng/ml [95% confidence interval (CI)](0.10-0.93, P=0.02) higher in obese subjects than that in non-obese healthy controls. Eleven studies with 1570 patients were included for the analysis of T2DM; the level of vaspin was 0.36ng/ml [95%CI] (0.23-0.49, P<0.00001) higher compared with that in healthy controls. CONCLUSIONS Significantly higher levels of serum vaspin were observed in obese subjects and T2DM patients.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome is an obesity dependent disorder with a worldwide high prevalence. Regarding the high prevalence of Metabolic syndrome in Iran we analyzed the influence of -1131T>C (rs662799) and c.56C>G (S19W, rs3135506) polymorphisms of the novel apolipoprotein gene, ApoA5, on some Metabolic Syndrome indicators in population from north of Iran. Methods 199 volunteers from Babol city-Iran were divided in two groups of low (N = 99, TG ≤ 103 mg/dl) and high (N = 100, TG ≥ 150 mg/dl) serum levels of Triglycerides (TG). We amplified the gene fragments containing -1131T>C and c.56C>G polymorphisms by PCR method and revealed the polymorphisms by RFLP analysis. Results We found a significant association (p = 0.016, Independent t-test) between high levels of TG and -1131T>C polymorphism but not between this polymorphism and serum HDL-C concentrations. Carriers of the C allele had a 1.97 times higher odds ratio to be in the high-TG group than those of the TT genotype (95%, CI = 1.05-3.68). We observed no association between -1131T>C polymorphism with either Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR) or Body-Mass-Index (BMI). In the case of c.56C>G polymorphism, although it showed a significant relationship with WHR (p = 0/040, Independent t-test), but failed to correlate with either levels of TG (p = 0.594) or HDL-C (p = 0.640) in serum. Conclusion Our study confirms that ApoA5 gene polymorphisms, -1131T>C and c.56C>G are associated with the two criteria of Metabolic Syndrome, TG and WHR, respectively.

Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome (MeS) is being recognized as a risk factor for insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. The present study was aimed to find out the possible association between 45-bp I/D polymorphism of uncoupling protein 2 (UCP2) and MeS. Methods DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 151 subjects with and 149 subjects without MeS. 45-bp I/D variant of UCP2 was detected using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results Our finding showed that 45-bp I/D polymorphism was associated with protection against MeS (OR = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.34-0.92, p = 0.020 D/I vs DD and OR = 0.54, 95% CI = 0.34-0.86, p = 0.009; D/I + I/I vs D/D). The I allele decreased the risk of MeS (OR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.44-0.90, p = 0.011) in comparison with D allele. Conclusion In conclusion, our result suggests that 45-bp I/D polymorphism is associated with the risk of MeS, which remains to be cleared.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The association between -336 A/G polymorphism of CD209 and susceptibility to/protection from tuberculosis is inconsistent. AIM The present study aimed at evaluating the possible association between CD209 rs4804803 (-336 A/G) gene polymorphism and pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) in a sample of Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS This case-control study was performed on 156 PTB patients and 154 healthy individuals. Tetra-amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the polymorphisms. RESULTS Our findings revealed that the CD209 rs4804803 increased the risk of PTB in codominant [odds ratio (OR) = 5.16, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.60-16.59, p = 0.006, GG vs. AA], dominant (OR = 1.69, 95% CI = 1.07-2.66, p = 0.024, AG + GG vs. AA), and recessive (OR = 4.20, 95% CI = 1.34-13.16, p = 0.014, GG vs. AA + AG) tested inheritance models. Furthermore, the rs4804803 G allele increased the risk of PTB (OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.12-2.23, p = 0.011) as compared to the A allele. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that CD209 rs4804803 polymorphism increased the risk of PTB in a sample of Iranian population.

[PMID: 23922565 PMCID: PMC3734897 DOI: 10.5812/hepatmon.9527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 57] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2012] [Revised: 01/27/2013] [Accepted: 02/23/2013] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic and environmental factors are important for the development of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Adiponectin is a white and brown adipose tissue hormone, and have been found to play essential roles in the regulation of energy homoeostasis. Recent reports have identified a possible role of adiponectin in NAFLD via PPARγ pathway. OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to find out the impact of adiponectin rs1501299 (276G/T) and rs266729 (-11377C/G) gene polymorphisms in NAFLD. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eighty-three patients with diagnosis of NAFLD, and 93 healthy subjects were included in the study. Tetra ARMS-PCR was designed to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms. RESULTS A significant difference was found between NAFLD and control group regarding the rs266729 polymorphism (χ2 = 7.35, P = 0.025). The rs266729 polymorphism increased the risk of NAFLD in codominant (CC vs. CG: OR = 2.18, 95% CI = 1.16 - 4.12, P = 0.016) and dominant (CC vs. CG/GG: OR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.25 - 4.27; P = 0.008) inheritance tested models. The G allele increased the risk of NAFLD (OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.03 - 2.57, P = 0.037) in comparison with C allele. No significant difference was found between the groups concerning adiponectin rs1501299 gene polymorphism (χ2 = 0.70, P = 0.697). CONCLUSIONS adiponectin rs266729 polymorphism might be a candidate gene, which determines the susceptibility to NAFLD. Larger studies are necessary to confirm these findings in various populations.
