J Pharm Sci 2024; 113:1996-2000. [PMID: 38641061 DOI: 10.1016/j.xphs.2024.04.014] [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: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 04/12/2024] [Indexed: 04/21/2024]
Abstract
Sodium-phosphate transporter NPT4 (SLC17A3) is a membrane transporter for organic anionic compounds localized on the apical membranes of kidney proximal tubular epithelial cells and plays a role in the urinary excretion of organic anionic compounds. However, its physiological role has not been sufficiently elucidated because its substrate specificity is yet to be determined. The present study aimed to comprehensively explore the physiological substrates of NPT4 in newly developed Slc17a3-/- mice using a metabolomic approach. Metabolomic analysis showed that the plasma concentrations of 11 biological substances, including 3-indoxyl sulfate, were more than two-fold higher in Slc17a3-/- mice than in wild-type mice. Moreover, urinary excretion of 3-indoxyl sulfate was reduced in Slc17a3-/- mice compared to that in wild-type mice. The uptake of 3-indoxyl sulfate by NPT4-expressing Xenopus oocytes was significantly higher than that by water-injected oocytes. The calculated Km and Vmax values for NPT4-mediated 3-indoxyl sulfate uptake were 4.52 ± 1.18 mM and 1.45 ± 0.14 nmol/oocyte/90 min, respectively. In conclusion, the present study revealed that 3-indoxyl sulfate is a novel substrate of NPT4 based on the metabolomic analysis of Slc17a3-/- mice, suggesting that NPT4 regulates systemic exposure to 3-indoxyl sulfate by regulating its urinary excretion.

[PMID: 37666385 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2023.117527] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 08/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/06/2023]
Abstract
The increasing incidence of ischemic stroke emphasizes the necessity for early detection and preventive strategies. Diagnostic biomarkers currently available for ischemic stroke only become detectable shortly before the manifestation of stroke symptoms. Genetic variants associated with ischemic stroke offer a potential solution to address this diagnostic limitation. However, it is crucial to acknowledge that genetic variants cannot be modified in the same way as epigenetic changes. Nevertheless, individuals carrying risk or protective variants can modify their lifestyle to potentially influence the associated epigenetic factors. This study aims to summarize specific variants relevant to Asian populations that may aid in the early detection of ischemic stroke and explore their impact on the disease's pathophysiology. These variants give us important information about the genes that play a role in ischemic stroke by affecting things like atherosclerosis pathway, blood coagulation pathway, homocysteine metabolism, transporter function, transcription, and the activity of neurons regulation. It is important to recognize the variations in genetic variants among different ethnicities and avoid generalizing the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke.

[PMID: 36530622 PMCID: PMC9755202 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.1036750] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated (FTO) and the Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R) genes are strongly associated with obesity, an established risk factor for stroke. We aimed to assess the associations between rs17817449 at the FTO and rs6567160 at the MC4R and the risk of stroke events in middle-aged and older Chinese people. MATERIALS AND METHODS Study data were obtained from the Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study; a total of 148 participants with a self-reported history of stroke and an equal volume of age- and sex-matched participants were selected as the cases and the controls in a case-control study; a total of 13,967 participants at the first follow-up and all participants with fatal stroke (up to April 2021) were included in a retrospective cohort study. Conditional logistic regression and the Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were used to assess the associations of the two genetic loci with the risk of stroke events. RESULTS After adjusting for age, sex, education, job, smoking, alcohol consumption, body mass index, physical activity, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, rs17817449 and rs6567160 shared minor alleles G and C, respectively, in the case-control analyses. The genotypes GG+GT of rs17817449 at the FTO were significantly associated with a decreased risk of fatal stroke occurrence, with fatal all strokes having an adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) of 0.71 (95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.52-0.97, P = 0.04) and fatal ischemic stroke having an aHR of 0.64 (95% CI 0.41-1.00, P = 0.05), when the genotype TT was taken as a reference and a series of multiplicities were adjusted; the risk of fatal all strokes was lowered by dyslipidemia (aHR = 0.63, 95% CI 0.39-1.00, P = 0.05) and non-diabetes (aHR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.46-0.99, P = 0.049) in the retrospective cohort analyses. Significances were observed neither in the associations between rs6567160 and the risk of stroke events nor in an interaction between rs17817449 and rs6567160 in the two-stage analyses. CONCLUSION The G allele of rs17817449 at the FTO, not rs6567160 at the MC4R, was associated with a decreased risk of fatal stroke occurrence; its functional role in stroke should be explored in relatively healthy middle-aged to older Chinese people.

Abstract
Studies of DNA methylation have revealed the biological mechanisms by which life adversity confers risk for later physical and mental health problems. What remains unknown is the “biologically embedding” of maternal adverse experiences resulting in maladaptive parenting and whether these epigenetic effects are transmitted to the next generation. This study focuses on neglectful mothering indexed by a severe disregard for the basic and psychological needs of the child. Using the Illumina Human Methylation EPIC BeadChip in saliva samples, we identified genes with differentially methylated regions (DMRs) in those mothers with (n = 51), versus those without (n = 87), neglectful behavior that present similar DMRs patterns in their children being neglected versus non-neglected (n = 40 vs. 75). Mothers reported the emotional intensity of adverse life events. After covariate adjustment and multiple testing corrections, we identified 69 DMRs in the mother epigenome and 42 DMRs in the child epigenome that were simultaneously above the α = 0.01 threshold. The common set of nine DMRs contained genes related to childhood adversity, neonatal and infant diabetes, child neurobehavioral development and other health problems such as obesity, hypertension, cancer, posttraumatic stress, and the Alzheimer’s disease; four of the genes were associated with maternal life adversity. Identifying a shared epigenetic signature of neglect linked to maternal life adversity is an essential step in breaking the intergenerational transmission of one of the most common forms of childhood maltreatment.

Impact of MMP2 rs243849 and rs14070 genetic polymorphisms on the ischemic stroke susceptibility in Chinese Shaanxi population. Front Neurol 2022; 13:931437. [PMID: 35959401 PMCID: PMC9358222 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.931437] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Ischemic stroke (IS) is a complex neurological disease affected by genetics and environment. Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) is involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation, inflammation and angiogenesis to regulate the development and recovery of IS. Purposes The aim of this study was to explore the association of rs1053605, rs243849 and rs14070 in MMP2 with the risk of IS in Chinese Shaanxi population. Methods In this study, 677 IS patients and 681 normal controls were recruited. Rs1053605, rs243849 and rs14070 in MMP2 were genotyped. Logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate the association of rs1053605, rs243849 and rs14070 in MMP2 with IS susceptibility and the association of environmental factors with MMP2 genetic susceptibility to IS. Results The results of the overall analysis demonstrated that rs14070 in MMP2 significantly reduced the risk of IS in Chinese Shaanxi population (OR = 0.767, 95% CI = 0.619–0.952, P = 0.016). Subgroup analysis illustrated that rs243849 in MMP2 evidently increased the risk of IS among drinkers, while rs14070 in MMP2 apparently reduced IS susceptibility among females, participants with aged >55, smokers and drinkers. Conclusions Collectively, rs243849 and rs14070 in MMP2 were significantly associated with the risk of IS in Chinese Shaanxi population, and the effect of MMP2 to IS may be associated with its genetic susceptibility.
