Functional Impact of the FADS1 rs174546 Single Nucleotide Polymorphism on Serum Lipid Levels: Insights from Molecular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives in Korean Population. Mol Nutr Food Res 2024:e2400201. [PMID: 38961528 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.202400201] [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: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
SCOPE Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) gene is suggested as risk factor of metabolic diseases in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). This study hypothesized that FADS1_rs174546T associates with serum triglycerides (TG) in Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES). In addition, functional study of SNP genotypes in cultured cells is performed. METHODS AND RESULTS FADS1_rs174546T is associated with high level of serum TG (effect size of variant: 6.48 ± 1.84 mg dL-1) in Korean individuals (normotriglyceridemia, n = 5128; hypertriglyceridemia, n = 3714). Functional study in cells with FADS1_rs174546T, shows reduced transcriptional activity, when compared with rs174546C. MiR-6728-3p, which is predicted to bind with rs174546T, decreases transcriptional activity of rs174546T but not in rs174546C, and it is reversed by miR-6728-3p inhibitor. Formononetin is selected as binding molecule to 3'-UTR of FADS1 and increases luciferase activity in both rs174546 (C/T). Moreover, formononetin compensates for the reduced luciferase activity by rs174546T and miR-6728-3p. Formononetin also increases endogenous FADS1 expression and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) ratio. CONCLUSION FADS1_rs174546T is a crucial risk factor for hypertriglyceridemia in the Koreans potentially through the interaction with miR-6728-3p. Formononetin can be a potent dietary intervention to prevent and improve hypertriglyceridemia in both rs174546 (C/T) populations.

Choi Y, Kwon HK, Park S. Polygenic Variants Linked to Oxidative Stress and the Antioxidant System Are Associated with Type 2 Diabetes Risk and Interact with Lifestyle Factors. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:1280. [PMID: 37372010 DOI: 10.3390/antiox12061280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/14/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Oxidative stress is associated with insulin resistance and secretion, and antioxidant systems are essential for preventing and managing type 2 diabetes (T2DM). This study aimed to explore the polygenic variants linked to oxidative stress and the antioxidant system among those associated with T2DM and the interaction of their polygenic risk scores (PRSs) with lifestyle factors in a large hospital-based cohort (n = 58,701). Genotyping, anthropometric, biochemical, and dietary assessments were conducted for all participants with an average body mass index of 23.9 kg/m2. Genetic variants associated with T2DM were searched through genome-wide association studies in participants with T2DM (n = 5383) and without T2DM (n = 53,318). The Gene Ontology database was searched for the antioxidant systems and oxidative stress-related genes among the genetic variants associated with T2DM risk, and the PRS was generated by summing the risk alleles of selected ones. Gene expression according to the genetic variant alleles was determined on the FUMA website. Food components with low binding energy to the GSTA5 protein generated from the wildtype and mutated GSTA5_rs7739421 (missense mutation) genes were selected using in silico analysis. Glutathione metabolism-related genes, including glutathione peroxidase (GPX)1 and GPX3, glutathione disulfide reductase (GSR), peroxiredoxin-6 (PRDX6), glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), glutathione S-transferase alpha-5 (GSTA5), and gamma-glutamyltransferase-1 (GGT1), were predominantly selected with a relevance score of >7. The PRS related to the antioxidant system was positively associated with T2DM (ORs = 1.423, 95% CI = 1.22-1.66). The active site of the GASTA proteins having valine or leucine at 55 due to the missense mutation (rs7739421) had a low binding energy (<-10 kcal/mol) similarly or differently to some flavonoids and anthocyanins. The PRS interacted with the intake of bioactive components (specifically dietary antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin D, and coffee) and smoking status (p < 0.05). In conclusion, individuals with a higher PRS related to the antioxidant system may have an increased risk of T2DM, and there is a potential indication that exogenous antioxidant intake may alleviate this risk, providing insights for personalized strategies in T2DM prevention.

Obesity-related parameters in carriers of some BDNF genetic variants may depend on daily dietary macronutrients intake. Sci Rep 2023; 13:6585.

Abstract
Some common single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene have been associated not only with the neurodegenerative diseases but also with some eating disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the possible differences in the obesity-related and glucose metabolism parameters between some BDNF genotypes', that may depend on the daily energy and macronutrients intake. In 484 adult participants we performed the anthropometric measurements, body composition analysis, and body fat distribution. The daily dietary intake was assessed using the 3-day food intake diaries. Blood glucose and insulin concentrations were measured at fasting and during oral glucose tolerance tests. Moreover, the visceral adipose tissue/subcutaneous adipose tissue (VAT/SAT) ratio and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance were calculated. We noted that participants carrying the GG genotype had lower skeletal muscle mass and fat free mass (FFM) when carbohydrate intake was > 48%, whereas they presented higher fat-free mass (FFM), and surprisingly higher total cholesterol and LDL-C concentrations when daily fiber intake was > 18 g. Moreover, in these subjects we noted higher waist circumference, BMI, and fasting glucose and insulin concentrations, when > 18% of total daily energy intake was delivered from proteins, and higher VAT content and HDL-C concentrations when > 30% of energy intake was derived from dietary fat. Our results suggest that glucose homeostasis and obesity-related parameters in carriers of some common variants of BDNF gene, especially in the GG (rs10835211) genotype carriers, may differ dependently on daily energy, dietary macronutrients and fiber intake.

Park S. Height-Related Polygenic Variants Are Associated with Metabolic Syndrome Risk and Interact with Energy Intake and a Rice-Main Diet to Influence Height in KoGES. Nutrients 2023; 15:nu15071764. [PMID: 37049604 PMCID: PMC10096788 DOI: 10.3390/nu15071764] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2023] [Revised: 04/01/2023] [Accepted: 04/02/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Adult height is inversely related to metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk, but its genetic impacts have not been revealed. The present study aimed to examine the hypothesis that adult height-related genetic variants interact with lifestyle to influence adult height and are associated with MetS risk in adults aged >40 in Korea during 2010–2014. Participants were divided into short stature (SS; control) and tall stature (TS; case) by the 85th percentile of adult height. The genetic variants linked to adult height were screened from a genome-wide association study in a city hospital-based cohort (n = 58,701) and confirmed in Ansan/Ansung plus rural cohorts (n = 13,783) among the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study. Genetic variants that interacted with each other were identified using the generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) analysis. The interaction between the polygenic risk score (PRS) of the selected genetic variants and lifestyles was examined. Adult height was inversely associated with MetS, cardiovascular diseases, and liver function. The PRS, including zinc finger and BTB domain containing 38 (ZBTB38)_rs6762722, polyadenylate-binding protein-interacting protein-2B (PAIP2B)_rs13034890, carboxypeptidase Z (CPZ)_rs3756173, and latent-transforming growth factor beta-binding protein-1 (LTBP1)_rs4630744, was positively associated with height by 1.29 times and inversely with MetS by 0.894 times after adjusting for covariates. In expression quantitative trait loci, the gene expression of growth/differentiation factor-5 (GDF5)_rs224331, non-SMC condensin I complex subunit G (NCAPG)_rs2074974, ligand-dependent nuclear receptor corepressor like (LCORL)_rs7700107, and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF1R)_rs2871865 was inversely linked to their risk allele in the tibial nerve and brain. The gene expression of PAIP2B_rs13034890 and a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs-like-3 (ADAMTSL3)_rs13034890 was positively related to it. The PRS was inversely associated with MetS, hyperglycemia, HbA1c, and white blood cell counts. The wild type of GDF5_rs224331 (Ala276) lowered binding energy with rugosin A, D, and E (one of the hydrolyzable tannins) but not the mutated one (276Ser) in the in-silico analysis. The PRS interacted with energy intake and rice-main diet; PRS impact was higher in the high energy intake and the low rice-main diet. In conclusion, the PRS for adult height interacted with energy intake and diet patterns to modulate height and was linked to height and MetS by modulating their expression in the tibial nerve and brain.

A Causal and Inverse Relationship between Plant-Based Diet Intake and in a Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study. Foods 2023; 12:foods12030545.

Abstract
A plant-based diet (PBD) has been reported to be linked to metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in observational studies, but not in causal association studies. We aimed to examine the hypothesis that high PBD exhibited a causal and inverse association with MetS and its components using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). PBD was clustered according to food intake, which was assessed by semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires using a principal component analysis. The instrumental variables were generated using the genome-wide association study (GWAS) of a High-PBD group (≥67th percentiles) after adjusting for the covariates related to MetS, with a significance level of p < 5 × 10-5 and linkage disequilibrium (r2 < 0.001), in a city hospital-based cohort (n = 58,701). The causal association of the PBD intake with MetS risk was examined with a two-sample MR approach in the rural plus Ansan/Ansung cohorts (n = 13,598). The High-PBD group showed higher energy, fat, protein, cholesterol, fiber, sodium, calcium, vitamin C and D, and flavonoid intake than the Low-PBD group. The High-PBD group showed a lower risk of MetS, waist circumference, hyperglycemia, hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia, and hypertriglyceridemia using an inverse-variance weighted method (p < 0.05). Low-PBD intake significantly elevated only waist circumference in weighted-median analysis (p < 0.05). No heterogeneity, horizontal pleiotropy, or single genetic variant influenced the causal relationship. In conclusion, low PBD appeared to be causally positively related to MetS risk and its components, but not hypertension. Therefore, Korean-style PBD may be beneficial for decreasing MetS risk in Asian adults.

Abstract
Background: Most people with abnormal lipid profiles are found in middle-aged adults in Indonesia. Unhealthy food consumption was positively associated with dyslipidemia. In contrast, healthy food consumption, including fruits and vegetables, was inversely associated with dyslipidemia. Aim: The aim of the study was to explore the association between food consumption with dyslipidemia among middle-aged adults in Indonesia. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study using secondary data from the national representative survey of Indonesian Basic Health Research (IBHR) conducted by the National Institute of Health Research Development (NIHRD), Ministry of Health, Indonesia, in 2018. The study recruited 10,608 participants aged from 45 to 59 years old. An unadjusted or adjusted odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and a multivariate logistic regression model were performed to evaluate the associations of food consumption with dyslipidemia. Results: Frequent consumption of barbecue and soft drink was significantly correlated with dyslipidemia (OR = 1.149, CI: 1.055-1.251 and OR = 1.202, CI: 1.041-1.388). Frequent consumption of soft drink, and inadequate intakes of fruits and vegetables were significantly correlated with dyslipidemia (OR = 1.254, CI: 1.012-1.553, OR = 1.178, CI: 1.013-1.388, OR = 1.219, CI: 1.011-1.471, respectively) in men. While, frequent consumption of barbecue was significantly correlated with dyslipidemia (OR = 1.203, CI: 1.068-1.355) in women. Conclusion: Frequent consumption of barbecue and soft drink increased the risk of developing dyslipidemia among middle-aged adults in Indonesia.

Association of Polygenic Variants with Type 2 Diabetes Risk and Their Interaction with Lifestyles in Asians. Nutrients 2022; 14:nu14153222.

Abstract
Over the last several decades, there has been a considerable growth in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in Asians. A pathophysiological mechanism in Asian T2DM is closely linked to low insulin secretion, β-cell mass, and inability to compensate for insulin resistance. We hypothesized that genetic variants associated with lower β-cell mass and function and their combination with unhealthy lifestyle factors significantly raise T2DM risk among Asians. This hypothesis was explored with participants aged over 40. Participants were categorized into T2DM (case; n = 5383) and control (n = 53,318) groups. The genetic variants associated with a higher risk of T2DM were selected from a genome-wide association study in a city hospital-based cohort, and they were confirmed with a replicate study in Ansan/Ansung plus rural cohorts. The interacted genetic variants were identified with generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis, and the polygenic risk score (PRS)-nutrient interactions were examined. The 8-SNP model was positively associated with T2DM risk by about 10 times, exhibiting a higher association than the 20-SNP model, including all T2DM-linked SNPs with p < 5 × 10−6. The SNPs in the models were primarily involved in pancreatic β-cell growth and survival. The PRS of the 8-SNP model interacted with three lifestyle factors: energy intake based on the estimated energy requirement (EER), Western-style diet (WSD), and smoking status. Fasting serum glucose concentrations were much higher in the participants with High-PRS in rather low EER intake and high-WSD compared to the High-EER and Low-WSD, respectively. They were shown to be higher in the participants with High-PRS in smokers than in non-smokers. In conclusion, the genetic impact of T2DM risk was mainly involved with regulating pancreatic β-cell mass and function, and the PRS interacted with lifestyles. These results highlight the interaction between genetic impacts and lifestyles in precision nutrition.

Polygenetic Variants Related to Osteoarthritis Risk and Their Interactions with Energy, Protein, Fat, and Alcohol Intake in Adults in a Large Cohort. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12020340.

Abstract
Osteoarthritis (OA) is increasing globally, especially among elderly Asian women, and its increase may be due to the interaction between genetic factors and lifestyle. This study tested the hypothesis that polygenetic variants associated with OA risk interacted with lifestyle in adults over 40 years in the Ansan–Ansung cohort. Genetic variants were chosen through a genome-wide association study with OA participants (case; n = 580) and controls without arthritis (n = 4850). Genetic variants with interactions were selected by a generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction. The best model’s polygenic risk scores (PRS) were calculated by summing the number of risk alleles in the selected genetic variants. The best five single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) model included AIG1_rs6570550, COX10_rs62054459, DLG2_rs148643344, SOX5_rs73283615, and PLXNA4_rs1472529430, while IL12A_ rs1491318751 was added to the five-SNP model to produce a six-SNP model. Only COX10_rs62054459 in subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue was associated with COX10 protein expression. The participants, having high-PRS from the five-SNP and six-SNP models, were at a higher OA risk than those with low-PRS by 3.88 and 4.42 times, respectively. The PRS was not associated with metabolic syndrome or with the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR). Energy, protein, fat, alcohol, and a Western-style diet intake interacted with the PRS to influence OA risk (p = 0.005, 0.042, and 0.021, respectively). In the high energy and alcohol intake and low protein, fat, Western-style diet intake, the participants with a high-PRS had a higher incidence of OA than those with low-PRS. In conclusion, the adults with a high-PRS were at a higher OA risk. Particularly, adults with high PRS should have a lower energy intake, higher WSD containing higher protein and fat intake, and moderate alcohol intake to alleviate OA risk. These results can be applied to personalized nutrition plans to decrease OA risk.

Abstract
Obese Asians are more susceptible to metabolic diseases than obese Caucasians of the same body mass index (BMI). We hypothesized that the genetic variants associated with obesity risk interact with the lifestyles of middle-aged and elderly adults, possibly allowing the development of personalized interventions based on genotype. We aimed to examine this hypothesis in a large city hospital-based cohort in Korea. The participants with cancers, thyroid diseases, chronic kidney disease, or brain-related diseases were excluded. The participants were divided into case and control according to their BMI: ≥25 kg/m2 (case; n = 17,545) and <25 kg/m2 (control; n = 36,283). The genetic variants that affected obesity risk were selected using a genome-wide association study, and the genetic variants that interacted with each other were identified by generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction analysis. The selected genetic variants were confirmed in the Ansan/Ansung cohort, and polygenetic risk scores (PRS)−nutrient interactions for obesity risk were determined. A high BMI was associated with a high-fat mass (odds ratio (OR) = 20.71) and a high skeletal muscle-mass index (OR = 3.38). A high BMI was positively related to metabolic syndrome and its components, including lipid profiles, whereas the initial menstruation age was inversely associated with a high BMI (OR = 0.78). The best model with 5-SNPs included SEC16B_rs543874, DNAJC27_rs713586, BDNF_rs6265, MC4R_rs6567160, and GIPR_rs1444988703. The high PRS with the 5-SNP model was positively associated with an obesity risk of 1.629 (1.475–1.798) after adjusting for the covariates. The 5-SNP model interacted with the initial menstruation age, fried foods, and plant-based diet for BMI risk. The participants with a high PRS also had a higher obesity risk when combined with early menarche, low plant-based diet, and a high fried-food intake than in participants with late menarche, high plant-based diet, and low fried-food intake. In conclusion, people with a high PRS and earlier menarche age are recommended to consume fewer fried foods and a more plant-based diet to decrease obesity risk. This result can be applied to personalized nutrition for preventing obesity.

[PMID: 34445011 PMCID: PMC8402209 DOI: 10.3390/nu13082849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2021] [Revised: 08/12/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
White blood cell (WBC) counts represent overall immunity. However, a few studies have been conducted to explore the genetic impacts of immunity and their interaction with lifestyles. We aimed to identify genetic variants associated with a low-WBC risk and document interactions between polygenetic risk scores (PRS), lifestyle factors, and nutrient intakes that influence low-WBC risk in a large hospital-based cohort. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected by genome-wide association study of participants with a low-WBC count (<4 × 109/L, n = 4176; low-WBC group) or with a normal WBC count (≥4 × 109/L, n = 36,551; control group). The best model for gene-gene interactions was selected by generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction. PRS was generated by summing selected SNP risk alleles of the best genetic model. Adjusted odds ratio (ORs) of the low-WBC group were 1.467 (1.219–1.765) for cancer incidence risk and 0.458 (0.385–0.545) for metabolic syndrome risk. Vitamin D intake, plant-based diet, and regular exercise were positively related to the low-WBC group, but smoking and alcohol intake showed an inverse association. The 7 SNPs included in the best genetic model were PSMD3_rs9898547, LCT_rs80157389, HLA-DRB1_rs532162239 and rs3097649, HLA-C rs2308575, CDKN1A_rs3176337 and THRA_rs7502539. PRS with 7 SNP model were positively associated with the low-WBC risk by 2.123-fold (1.741 to 2.589). PRS interacted with fat intake and regular exercise but not with other nutrient intakes or lifestyles. The proportion with the low WBC in the participants with high-PRS was lower among those with moderate-fat intake and regular exercise than those with low-fat intake and no exercise. In conclusion, adults with high-PRS had a higher risk of a low WBC count, and they needed to be advised to have moderate fat intake (20–25 energy percent) and regular exercise.

Regular exercise, alcohol consumption, and smoking interact with the polygenetic risk scores involved in insulin sensitivity and secretion for the risk of concurrent hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Nutrition 2021; 91-92:111422. [PMID: 34433106 DOI: 10.1016/j.nut.2021.111422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2021] [Revised: 07/12/2021] [Accepted: 07/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES 3GO, defined as the simultaneous presence of hypertension, hyperglycemia, and dyslipidemia, is rising in Asians. We determined polygenetic risk scores (PRS) for 3GO risk and the interactions between PRS and lifestyle habits on 3GO risk in Korean adults aged 40 to 77 y recruited from the urban hospital cohort of the Korean Genomic and Epidemiology Study (KoGES), conducted from 2004 to 2013. METHODS Participants were divided into a group with 3GO (n = 570) and a group without any of the three components of 3GO (0GO; n = 14 155). A genome-wide association study revealed genetic variants, and generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction was used to identify the best model of interaction between genetic variant and gene variant. The PRS was calculated from the genetic variants in the best model, and the effects of PRS interactions with lifestyles on 3GO risk were investigated. RESULTS The PRS for 3GO risk was calculated from five genetic variants: CTNNA2_rs17018376, PPP2R2C_rs6835336, CDKAL1_rs12662218, ADCY8_rs1329797, and KCNQ1_rs2237892. After adjustment for lifestyle, a high PRS was found to increase the risk of 3GO by 2.567-fold (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.917-3.437) as compared with controls (P < 0.001). PRS interacted with serum glucose (odds ratio, 2.283; 95% CI, 1.557-3.347), low high-density lipoprotein (odds ratio, 2.605; 95% CI, 1.701-3.991), and triacylglycerol concentration (odds ratio, 2.468; 95% CI, 1.630-3.737; P < 0.001). Interactions between PRS and alcohol (P < 0.0001), exercise (P = 0.035), and smoking (P = 0.006) significantly affected 3GO risk. PRSs were significantly correlated with 3GO risk among smokers, alcohol drinkers, and those who exercised infrequently. CONCLUSIONS PRSs calculated using a PRS model based on five single-nucleotide polymorphisms revealed that insulin sensitivity and secretion were significantly associated with 3GO risk. Furthermore, reducing alcohol intake, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking might be effective for reducing 3GO risk in individuals with a high PRS.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a well-defined yet difficult-to-manage disease entity. Both the precipitous rise in its incidence due to contemporary lifestyles and the growing heterogeneity among affected populations present unprecedented challenges. Moreover, the predisposed risk for developing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in populations with MetS, and the viral impacts on host metabolic parameters, underscores the need to investigate this mechanism thoroughly. Recent investigations of metabolomics and proteomics have revealed not only differentially expressed substances in MetS, but also the consequences of diet consumption and physical activity on energy metabolism. These variations in metabolites, as well as protein products, also influence a wide spectrum of host characteristics, from cellular behavior to phenotype. Research on the dysregulation of gut microbiota and the resultant inflammatory status has also contributed to our understanding of the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. As for state-of-the-art therapies, advancing depictions of the bio-molecular landscape of MetS have emerged and now play a key role in individualized precision medicine. Fecal microbiota transplantation, aiming to restore the host's homeostasis, and targeting of the bile acid signaling pathway are two approaches to combatting MetS. Comprehensive molecular inquiries about MetS by omics measures are mandatory to facilitate the development of novel therapeutic modalities.

The Relationship of Dietary Pattern and Genetic Risk Score with the Incidence Dyslipidemia: 14-Year Follow-Up Cohort Study. Nutrients 2020; 12:nu12123840. [PMID: 33339179 PMCID: PMC7765618 DOI: 10.3390/nu12123840] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 12/12/2020] [Accepted: 12/13/2020] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between dietary pattern and genetic risk score (GRS) for dyslipidemia risk among Korean adults. Hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia defined as total cholesterol ≥240 mg/dL and triglyceride ≥200 mg/dL or use dyslipidemia medication. The GRS was calculated by summing the risk alleles of the selected seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms related to dyslipidemia. Dietary patterns were identified by principal component analysis based on the frequency of 36 food groups, “whole grain and soybean products” pattern, “meat, fish and vegetables” pattern, and “bread and noodle” pattern were identified. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using the multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model. High intake of a “whole grain and soybean products” pattern decreased risks of hypercholesterolemia (HR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.72–0.93, p for trend = 0.0006) and hypertriglyceridemia (HR: 0.85, 95% CI: 0.75–0.97, p for trend = 0.0344). In the highest tertile of GRS, the “whole grain and soybean products” pattern was inversely related to hypercholesterolemia risk. Therefore, for people with genotypes that can cause hypercholesterolemia, eating whole grains and soybean products may have a meaningful response, these results could be utilized for genome-based nutrition management.

A minor allele of the haplotype located in the 19q13 loci is associated with a decreased risk of hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia, and a balanced diet and high protein intake can reduce the risk. Lipids Health Dis 2020; 19:178. [PMID: 32727492 PMCID: PMC7391697 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-020-01352-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the human chromosome 19q13 loci are reported to be associated with hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia, the haplotype of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) has not been studied. Therefore, the association of the haplotype in 19q13 loci with hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia was determined and their interactions with lifestyles and nutrient intakes were evaluated in 28,445 Koreans aged > 40 years. METHODS SNPs were selected from 19q13 loci that had an association with hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia with the adjustment of confounders (age, gender, area of residence, and body mass index). Haplotype was constructed from the selected SNPs. An adjusted odds ratio of the haplotype for hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia and the interaction between haplotype and lifestyles was analyzed after adjusting for covariates. RESULTS Hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia had an association with apolipoprotein E (APOE)_ rs7259620, translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 40(TOMM40)_rs157581, poliovirus receptor-related 2(PVRL2)_rs403155, exocyst complex component 3-like 2(EXOC3L2)_ rs10406604 and CD3e molecule-associated protein (CD3EAP)_rs3212986 in 19q13. The haplotype of these SNPs had a negative association with hyper-total-cholesterolemia and hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia by 0.669 and 0.684 times, respectively, after adjusting for covariates. The incidence of cardiovascular diseases, especially myocardial infarction, had a negative association with the minor alleles. The balanced diet pattern (BD) and protein intake had a significant interaction with the haplotype: the major-allele of the haplotype exhibited a positive association with hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia, compared to the minor allele, only when combined with a high intake of BD. The participants with the minor allele exhibited a lower hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia risk compared to those with the major allele only with high protein intake. CONCLUSION The minor allele of haplotype located in 19q13 loci protected against hyper-LDL-cholesterolemia, especially with BD and high protein intake. The minor allele also had a negative association with myocardial infarction events.

Associations between metabolic syndrome and urinary Na-to-K ratio and glomerular filtration rate in middle-aged adults regardless of Na and K intakes. Clin Exp Nephrol 2020; 24:1015-1024. [PMID: 32700113 DOI: 10.1007/s10157-020-01933-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2020] [Accepted: 07/08/2020] [Indexed: 10/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intake of Na-to-K ratio (I-Na/K), urinary Na-to-K ratio (U-Na/K), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have been reported to be risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MetS), but results are inconsistent. We examined the hypothesis that U-Na/K, GFR, and a preference for salty foods are associated with MetS risk and the hypothesis in 8540 adults aged over 40 years without chronic kidney disease. METHODS Participants were categorized using a U-Na/K of < 2.1 (low-U-Na/k) and a GFR of < 60 mL/min (low-GFR). A GFR of 60-90 mL/min was considered as a normal level, since it is a normal or marginal disease state. Correlations and associations were determined using Pearson's correlation coefficients and logistic regression analysis after adjusting for covariates related to MetS. RESULTS U-Na/K, but not I-Na/K, was positively correlated with blood pressure (r2 = 0.20, P < 0.0001). The GFR was negatively correlated with age, gender, HOMA-B, and MetS (r2 = - 0.14 to - 0.595, P < 0.0001), and positively correlated with education, current smoking, and alcohol intake (r2 = 0.21 to 0.40, P < 0.0001). MetS risk had a positive association with the following combinations with low-U-Na/K + low-GFR, high-U-Na/K + high-GFR, and high-U-Na/K +low-GFR by 1.830-, 3.182-, and 3.696-fold, respectively, as compared with low-U-Na/K + high-GFR. Risks of the MetS components (abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, hypo-HDL-cholesterolemia, hypertension, and hyperglycemia) were similarly associated with U-Na/K and GFR, though hypertension had the strongest association. Hypertension risk had positive associations with low-U-Na/K + low-GFR, high-U-Na/K + high-GFR, and high-U-Na/K + low-GFR by 1.526-, 14.06-, and 7.079-fold, respectively, as compared with low-U-Na/K + high-GFR. CONCLUSION MetS risk was found to be associated with U-Na/K and GFR regardless of I-Na/K. Women need to maintain a high GFR to reduce the MetS risk, especially the risk of hypertension.

J Acad Nutr Diet 2020; 120:1318-1329.e1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Plasma triglyceride (TG) concentrations are markedly higher among Asians, which may be associated with the interaction of genetics and lifestyle factors. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic variants that have a strong association with plasma TG concentrations from genome-wide association study and to identify lifestyle interactions with the genetic variants that are associated with dyslipidemia in a cohort of Korean adults. DESIGN Korean genome and epidemiology study utilized a cross-sectional design of Koreans to determine genetic variants and lifestyle factors, including nutrient intakes, in a retrospective hospital-based city cohort conducted by the Korean Center for Disease and Control during 2004-2013. PARTICIPANTS Korean adults aged 40 to 77 years were participants (n=28,445). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The genetic variants that influence plasma TG concentrations were selected by genome-wide association study using an allele genetic model after adjusting for age, sex, area of residence, and body mass index. Lipid profiles and nutrient intakes from food frequency questionnaires were measured. The interactions between the single nucleotide polymorphisms and lifestyle factors were determined to influence plasma TG levels. RESULTS Carrying the minor alleles of APOA5 rs662799 and rs2266788 had an association with higher plasma TG concentrations by 1.86- and 1.51-fold, respectively, compared with those with the major allele (P=8.89E-150 and P=4.75E-68, respectively). Sex had an interaction with these single nucleotide polymorphisms, with males having higher plasma TG concentrations. The single nucleotide polymorphisms had significant interactions with carbohydrate, fat, and calcium intakes; alcohol consumption; and smoking status that were associated with plasma TG concentrations. Carriers with the minor allele of each single nucleotide polymorphisms had higher plasma TG concentrations when consuming-low fat (<15%) and high carbohydrate (≥72%) diets than those with major alleles. Carriers of the minor alleles with low calcium intakes (<500 mg/day) experienced elevated plasma TG concentrations compared with carriers of the major alleles. Smokers and alcohol drinkers with either of the minor alleles of APOA5, rs662799 or rs2266788, had higher plasma TG concentrations than those with its major allele. CONCLUSIONS These results indicated that carrying the minor alleles of APOA5 rs662799 and rs2266788, especially for men, was associated with elevated TG concentrations and suggested that Korean carriers of the minor alleles could be at increased risk of hypertriglyceridemia. Further research is needed to investigate the efficacy of modulating lifestyle factors to prevent dyslipidemia in people carrying the minor alleles of APOA5 rs662799 and rs2266788.
