Abstract
Hypertension is associated with the presence of vascular abnormalities, including remodeling and rarefaction. These processes play an important role in cerebrovascular disease development; however, the mechanistic changes leading to these diseases are not well characterized. Using data-independent acquisition-based mass spectrometry analysis, here we determined the protein changes in cerebral arteries in pre- and early-onset hypertension from the spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), a model that resembles essential hypertension in humans. Our analysis identified 125 proteins with expression levels that were significantly upregulated or downregulated in 12-week-old spontaneously hypertensive rats compared to normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats. Using an angiogenesis enrichment analysis, we further identified a critical imbalance in angiogenic proteins that promoted an anti-angiogenic profile in cerebral arteries at early onset of hypertension. In a comparison to previously published data, we demonstrate that this angiogenic imbalance is not present in mesenteric and renal arteries from age-matched SHRs. Finally, we identified two proteins (Fbln5 and Cdh13), whose expression levels were critically altered in cerebral arteries compared to the other arterial beds. The observation of an angiogenic imbalance in cerebral arteries from the SHR reveals critical protein changes in the cerebrovasculature at the early onset of hypertension and provides novel insights into the early pathology of cerebrovascular disease.

Abstract
Background Adiponectin is an important adipocytokine and has been associated with the risks of gastrointestinal cancers (GICs). Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis is needed to assess the causal relationships between adiponectin and GICs. Methods We retrieved the summary data of genome‐wide association studies for adiponectin and six types of GICs in East Asians. A series of quality control steps were performed to select the eligible genetic instrumental tools. Horizontal pleiotropy and between‐SNP heterogeneity were tested to choose the primary MR method. We also conducted sensitivity analyses to test the robustness of the main findings. Results We detected neither heterogeneity nor horizontal pleiotropy for the eligible SNPs in all of the MR analyses. Inverse variance weighted (IVW) was therefore used as the primary method, and suggested that per 10% increase in log‐transformed adiponectin level was significantly associated with a decreased risk of gastric cancer (odds ratio [OR] = 0.88, 95% CI 0.81, 0.96), whereas with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (OR = 1.26, 95% CI 1.09, 1.44) and of biliary tract cancer (OR = 1.54, 95% CI 1.12, 2.12). However, only the association between adiponectin and HCC risk was statistically significant after correction for multiple testing. No statistically significant association was detected between adiponectin and esophageal (OR = 1.05, 95% CI 0.89, 1.23), pancreatic (OR = 1.04, 95% CI 0.78, 1.37), and colorectal cancers (OR = 1.00, 95% CI 0.93, 1.07). Sensitivity analyses did not find contradictory results. Conclusion High level of adiponectin may have a causal effect on and can serve as a biomarker for the carcinogenesis of gastric cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and biliary tract cancer.

PLoS One 2021; 16:e0259962. [PMID: 34793544 PMCID: PMC8601554 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0259962] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/01/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Hypertension is more prevalent in African Americans (AA) than other ethnic groups. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified loci associated with hypertension and other cardio-metabolic traits like type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease, and body mass index (BMI), however the AA population is underrepresented in these studies. In this study, we examined a large AA cohort for the generalizability of 14 Metabochip array SNPs with previously reported European hypertension associations. Methods To evaluate associations, we analyzed genotype data of 14 SNPs for their associations with a diagnosis of hypertension, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in a case-control study of an AA population (N = 9,534). We also performed an age-stratified analysis (>30, 30≥59 and ≥60 years) following the hypertension definition described by the 8th Joint National Committee (JNC). Associations were adjusted for BMI, age, age2, sex, clinical confounders, and genetic ancestry using multivariable regression models to estimate odds ratios (ORs) and beta-coefficients. Analyses stratified by sex were also conducted. Meta-analyses (including both BioVU and COGENT-BP cohorts) were performed using a random-effects model. Results We found rs880315 to be associated with systolic hypertension (SBP≥140 mmHg) in the entire cohort (OR = 1.14, p = 0.003) and within women only (OR = 1.16, p = 0.012). Variant rs17080093 associated with lower SBP and DBP (β = -2.99, p = 0.0352 and - β = 1.69, p = 0.0184) among younger individuals, particularly in younger women (β = -3.92, p = 0.0025 and β = -1.87, p = 0.0241 for SBP and DBP respectively). SNP rs1530440 associated with higher SBP and DBP measurements (younger individuals β = 4.1, p = 0.039 and β = 2.5, p = 0.043 for SBP and DBP; (younger women β = 4.5, p = 0.025 and β = 2.9, p = 0.028 for SBP and DBP), and hypertension risk in older women (OR = 1.4, p = 0.050). rs16948048 increases hypertension risk in younger individuals (OR = 1.31, p = 0.011). Among mid-age women rs880315 associated with higher risk of hypertension (OR = 1.20, p = 0.027). rs1361831 associated with DBP (β = -1.96, p = 0.02) among individuals older than 60 years. rs3096277 increases hypertension risk among older individuals (OR = 1.26 p = 0.0015), however, this variant also reduces SBP among younger women (β = -2.63, p = 0.0102). Conclusion These findings suggest that European-descent and AA populations share genetic loci that contribute to blood pressure traits and hypertension. However, the OR and beta-coefficient estimates differ, and some are age-dependent. Additional genetic studies of hypertension in AA are warranted to identify new loci associated with hypertension and blood pressure traits in this population.

Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) 1 Gene Polymorphism and Phenotypic Expression of COVID-19 Symptoms. Genes (Basel) 2021; 12:genes12101572. [PMID: 34680966 PMCID: PMC8535484 DOI: 10.3390/genes12101572] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) appears to play an important role in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Polymorphisms within the genes that control this enzymatic system are candidates for elucidating the pathogenesis of COVID-19, since COVID-19 is not only a pulmonary disease but also affects many organs and systems throughout the body in multiple ways. Most striking is the fact that ACE2, one of the major components of the RAAS, is a prerequisite for SARS-COV-2 infection. Recently, we and other groups reported an association between a polymorphism of the ACE1 gene (a homolog of ACE2) and the phenotypic expression of COVID-19, particularly in its severity. The ethnic difference in ACE1 insertion (I)/deletion (D) polymorphism seems to explain the apparent difference in mortality between the West and East Asia. The purpose of this review was to further evaluate the evidence linking ACE1 polymorphisms to COVID-19. We searched the Medline database (2019–2021) for reference citations of relevant articles and selected studies on the clinical outcome of COVID-19 related to ACE1 I/D polymorphism. Although the numbers of patients are not large enough yet, most available evidence supports the notion that the DD genotype adversely influences COVID-19 symptoms. Surprisingly, small studies conducted in several countries yielded opposite results, suggesting that the ACE1 II genotype is a risk factor. This contradictory result may be the case in certain geographic areas, especially in subgroups of patients. It may also be due to interactions with other genes or to yet unexplained biochemical mechanisms. According to our hypothesis, such candidates are genes that are functionally involved in the pathophysiology of COVID-19, can act in concert with the ACE1 DD genotype, and that show differences in their frequency between the West and East Asia. For this, we conducted research focusing on Alu-related genes. The current study on the ACE1 genotype will provide potentially new clues to the pathogenesis, treatment, and diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections.

Abstract
Hypertension is a major public health problem, affecting more than a quarter of the world's population that causes serious cardiovascular problems. In recent years, different polymorphisms have been studied and helped to identify some candidate genes and hereditary syndromes associated to the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of hypertension. Therefore, it is important to identify these molecular mechanisms. This review exposes all the genes and polymorphisms that increase or decrease the risk of hypertension in different populations that are related to the renin angiotensin aldosterone system, G protein, salt excretion, aldosterone synthesis, lipid metabolism, mechanism of insulin resistance, vitamin metabolism, purines and sodium reabsorption. This document can be a useful tool in clinical practice, in addition to serving as a support for future research on this topic.

Plasma proteomic profiling of young and old mice reveals cadherin-13 prevents age-related bone loss. Aging (Albany NY) 2020; 12:8652-8668.

Abstract
The blood exhibits a dynamic flux of proteins that are secreted by the tissues and cells of the body. To identify novel aging-related circulating proteins, we compared the plasma proteomic profiles of young and old mice using tandem mass spectrometry. The expression of 134 proteins differed between young and old mice. We selected seven proteins that were expressed at higher levels in young mice, and confirmed their plasma expression in immunoassays. The plasma levels of anthrax toxin receptor 2 (ANTXR2), cadherin-13 (CDH-13), scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130 (CD163), cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP), Dickkopf-related protein 3 (DKK3), periostin, and secretogranin-1 were all confirmed to decrease with age. We then investigated whether any of the secreted proteins influenced bone metabolism and found that CDH-13 inhibited osteoclast differentiation. CDH 13 treatment suppressed the receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) signaling pathway in bone marrow-derived macrophages, and intraperitoneal administration of CDH-13 delayed age-related bone loss in the femurs of aged mice. These findings suggest that low plasma CDH-13 expression in aged mice promotes aging-associated osteopenia by facilitating excessive osteoclast formation. Thus, CDH-13 could have therapeutic potential as a protein drug for the prevention of osteopenia.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is still the preliminary cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed world. Identification of novel predictive and therapeutic biomarkers is crucial for accurate diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of the CAD. The aim of this study was to detect novel candidate miRNA biomarker that may be used in the management of CAD. We performed miRNA profiling in whole blood samples of angiographically confirmed Turkish men with CAD and non-CAD controls with insignificant coronary stenosis. Validation of microarray results was performed by qRT-PCR in a larger cohort of 62 samples. We subsequently assessed the diagnostic value of the miRNA and correlations of miRNA with clinical parameters. miRNA-target identification and network analyses were conducted by Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) software. Hsa-miR-584-5p was one of the top significantly dysregulated miRNA observed in miRNA microarray. Men-specific down-regulation (p = 0.040) of hsa-miR-584-5p was confirmed by qRT-PCR. ROC curve analysis highlighted the potential diagnostic value of hsa-miR-584-5p with a power area under the curve (AUC) of 0.714 and 0.643 in men and in total sample, respectively. The expression levels of hsa-miR-584-5p showed inverse correlation with stenosis and Gensini scores. IPA revealed CDH13 as the only CAD related predicted target for the miRNA with biological evidence of its involvement in CAD. This study suggests that hsa-miR-584-5p, known to be tumor suppressor miRNA, as a candidate biomarker for CAD and highlighted its putative role in the CAD pathogenesis. The validation of results in larger samples incorporating functional studies warrant further research.

Abstract
Background Understanding the roles of miRNAs in cardiovascular disease remains a challenge. Genomic linkage indicates a functional relationship between intronic miRNAs and their host genes. However, few studies have shown functional association between intronic miRNAs and their host coding genes that are genetically associated with cardiovascular disease. Methods In this study, we investigated functional relationship between three protein-coding genes genetically associated with cardiovascular disease, i.e., CDH13, SLC12A3, and CKAP5, and their intronic miRNAs using a data-driven approach. Results We found that the three protein-coding genes functionally interact with targets of their intronic miRNAs, i.e., miR-3182, miR-6863, and miR-5582, in a tissue-specific pattern. The intronic miRNAs preferentially impact important genes for the three host genes in the network, indicating their roles in maintaining the integrity of the interactome where the host genes are involved. Targets of the intronic miRNAs display functional similarity to the host genes. We furthermore present sets of target genes for future investigation on the possible miRNA-target interactions that potentially contribute to cardiovascular diseases. Conclusions Our work provides new insight into the regulatory network of the cardiovascular-associated pathways and opens the possibility for future experimental research.

Abstract
Background The strategy of adaptation of the human body in microgravity is largely associated with the plasticity of cardiovascular system regulatory mechanisms. During long-term space flights the changes in the stroke volume of the heart are observed, the heart rate decreases, the phase structure of cardiac cycle is readjusted The purpose of this work was to clarify urine proteome changes associated with the initial condition of the heart rate autonomic regulation mechanisms in cosmonauts who have participated in long space missions. Urine proteome of each cosmonaut was analyzed before and after space flight, depending on the initial parameters characterizing the regulatory mechanisms of the cardiovascular system. Results The proteins cadherin-13, mucin-1, alpha-1 of collagen subunit type VI (COL6A1), hemisentin-1, semenogelin-2, SH3 domain-binding protein, transthyretin and serine proteases inhibitors realize a homeostatic role in individuals with different initial type of the cardiovascular system regulation. The role of significantly changed urine proteins in the cardiovascular homeostasis maintenance is associated with complex processes of atherogenesis, neoangiogenesis, activation of calcium channels, changes in cell adhesion and transmembrane properties, changes in extracellular matrix, participation in protection from oxidative stress and leveling the effects of hypoxia. Therefore, the concentrations of these proteins significantly differ between groups with dominant parasympathetic and sympathetic influences. Conclusion The space flight induced urine proteome changes are significantly different in the groups identified by heart rate autonomic regulation peculiarities before space flight. All these proteins regulate the associated biological processes which affect the stiffness of the vascular wall, blood pressure level, the severity of atherosclerotic changes, the rate and degree of age-related involution of elastin and fibulin, age-related increase in collagen stiffness, genetically determined features of elastin fibers. The increased vascular rigidity (including the aorta) and of myocardium may be regarded as a universal response to various extreme factors. Significant differences in the semi-quantitative analysis of signal proteins between groups with different types of autonomic regulation are explained by a common goal: to ensure optimal adaptation regardless of age and of the genetically determined type of responses to the extreme environmental factors effects.

There is a widespread occurrence of antisense transcripts' regulation on cancer-related genes in cancer biology. RP11-392P7.6 is antisense to the coding region of cancer-related gene GPRC5D, which has been found recently. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of tagSNPs in the promoter region of RP11-392P7.6 with the risk of colorectal cancer. We conducted a two-stage case-control study, with a discovery set (320 cases and 319 controls) and a validation set (501 cases and 538 controls). Four tagSNPs (rs1531970, rs1642199, rs4763903, and rs10845671) were selected based on 1000 Genomes Project data and genotyped by using the Sequenom MassARRAY genotyping platform. In the discovery set, three tagSNPs (rs1642199, rs4763903, and rs10845671) were revealed promising associations with the risk of colorectal cancer, among which the rs10845671 variants were further replicated in the validation set (OR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.10-1.20 in heterozygote codominant model; OR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.04-1.83 in dominant model). When combined the two sets, the above positive associations remained unchanged. Rs10845671 was found to be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.14-1.81 in heterozygote codominant model; OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.08-1.69 in dominant model). These findings indicate that rs10845671 may contribute to the susceptibility to colorectal cancer and be a candidate biomarker for colorectal cancer risk prediction. Environ. Mol.
