Identification of potential M2 macrophage-associated diagnostic biomarkers in coronary artery disease. Biosci Rep 2022; 42:231928. [PMID: 36222281 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20221394] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/01/2022] [Revised: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND M2 macrophages have been reported to be important in the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). Thus, the present study aims at exploring the diagnostic value of M2 macrophage-associated genes in CAD. METHODS Transcriptome profile of CAD and control samples were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus database. The proportion of immune cells was analyzed using cell type identification by estimating relative subsets of RNA transcripts. Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was carried out to screen the relevant module associated with M2 macrophages. Differential CAD and control samples of expressed genes (DEGs) were identified by the limma R package. Functional enrichment analysis by means of the clusterProfiler R package. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and random forest (RF) algorithms were carried out to select signature genes. Receiver operating curves (ROC) were plotted to evaluate the diagnostic value of selected signature genes. The expressions of potential diagnostic markers were validated by RT-qPCR. The ceRNA network of diagnostic biomarkers was constructed via miRwalk and Starbase database. CMap database was used to screen candidate drugs in the treatment of CAD by targeting diagnostic biomarkers. RESULTS A total of 166 M2 macrophage-associated genes were identified by WGCNA. By intersecting those genes with 879 DEGs, 53 M2 macrophage-associated DEGs were obtained in the present study. By LASSO, RF, and ROC analyses, C1orf105, CCL22, CRYGB, FRK, GAP43, REG1P, CALB1, and PTPN21 were identified as potential diagnostic biomarkers. RT-qPCR showed the consistent expression patterns of diagnostic biomarkers between GEO dataset and clinical samples. Perhexiline, alimemazine and mecamylamine were found to be potential drugs in the treatment of CAD. CONCLUSION We identified eight M2 macrophage-associated diagnostic biomarkers and candidate drugs for the CAD treatment.

Polymorphisms of the matrix metalloproteinase genes are associated with essential hypertension in a Caucasian population of Central Russia. Sci Rep 2021; 11:5224. [PMID: 33664351 PMCID: PMC7933364 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-84645-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2020] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to determine possible association of eight polymorphisms of seven MMP genes with essential hypertension (EH) in a Caucasian population of Central Russia. Eight SNPs of the MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP8, MMP9, and MMP12 genes and their gene–gene (epistatic) interactions were analyzed for association with EH in a cohort of 939 patients and 466 controls using logistic regression and assuming additive, recessive, and dominant genetic models. The functional significance of the polymorphisms associated with EH and 114 variants linked to them (r2 ≥ 0.8) was analyzed in silico. Allele G of rs11568818 MMP7 was associated with EH according to all three genetic models (OR = 0.58–0.70, pperm = 0.01–0.03). The above eight SNPs were associated with the disorder within 12 most significant epistatic models (OR = 1.49–1.93, pperm < 0.02). Loci rs1320632 MMP8 and rs11568818 MMP7 contributed to the largest number of the models (12 and 10, respectively). The EH-associated loci and 114 SNPs linked to them had non-synonymous, regulatory, and eQTL significance for 15 genes, which contributed to the pathways related to metalloendopeptidase activity, collagen degradation, and extracellular matrix disassembly. In summary, eight studied SNPs of MMPs genes were associated with EH in the Caucasian population of Central Russia.

Abstract
Preterm birth or PTB (<37 weeks) is a heterogeneous phenotype with numerous biological pathways. The lack of explanation due to complex pathways, inconsistent observations indicates the need for employing the role of genetic determinants to anticipate the danger of PTB. In this present study, we investigated the possible gene-gene interaction of five SNPs with PTB and its association with total MMP-9 levels. A total of 510 recruitments (250 terms and preterm each) were made and were genotyped by Restriction Fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Generalized Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction (GMDR) method was carried out for determining gene-gene interaction. ANOVA and t-test were used to identify the association of IL-6 polymorphism with PTB alone and correspondingly with PTB and low birth weight infants (i.e. < 2500 kg). The combination of IL-6 and MMP-9 and MMP-1, MMP-8 and MMP-9 polymorphism was selected through GMDR analysis concerning mothers with preterm and term birth (accuracy 0.5921 and 0.8030 with Cross-Validation Consistency (CVC) 10/10 respectively). Increased expression of MMP-9 was reported in cases in those mothers carrying IL-6 G allele, which was profoundly associated with PTB independently. IL-6 polymorphisms showed synergistic effects in terms of increased total MMP-9 levels in the present study.

Abstract
Background The clinical aspects of sickle cell anemia (SCA) are heterogeneous, and different patients may present significantly different clinical evolutions. Almost all organs can be affected, particularly the central nervous system. Transient ischemic events, infarcts, and cerebral hemorrhage can be observed and affect ≈25% of the patients with SCA. Differences in the expression of molecules produced by endothelial cells may be associated with the clinical heterogeneity of patients affected by vascular diseases. In this study, we investigated the differential expression of genes involved in endothelial cell biology in SCA patients with and without stroke. Methods and Results Endothelial progenitor cells from 4 SCA patients with stroke and 6 SCA patients without stroke were evaluated through the polymerase chain reaction array technique. The analysis of gene expression profiling identified 29 differentially expressed genes. Eleven of these genes were upregulated, and most were associated with angiogenesis (55%), inflammatory response (18%), and coagulation (18%) pathways. Downregulated expression was observed in 18 genes, with the majority associated with angiogenesis (28%), apoptosis (28%), and cell adhesion (22%) pathways. Remarkable overexpression of the MMP1 (matrix metalloproteinase 1) gene in the endothelial progenitor cells of all SCA patients with stroke (fold change: 204.64; P=0.0004) was observed. Conclusions Our results strongly suggest that angiogenesis is an important process in sickle cell stroke, and differences in the gene expression profile of endothelial cell biology, especially MMP1, may be related to stroke in SCA patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is an autoimmune disease triggered by acute rheumatic fever (ARF). Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the modulation of immune responses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association of MMP1, 3, and 12 promoter polymorphisms with RHD in a Han population in Southern China since the 3 genes are localized on the same chromosome and have a combined effect. METHODS DNA samples were obtained from 90 adult patients with RHD and 90 control subjects. Polymorphisms in MMP1 (rs1799750), MMP3 (rs3025058), and MMP12 (rs2276109) were genotyped by direct sequencing. Differences in genotype and allele frequencies of these polymorphisms were compared between the cases and the controls using Unconditional logistic regression models and Chi-squared test. RESULTS The 2G/2G genotype of rs1799750 in MMP1 was associated with a significantly higher risk of RHD when compared with the 1G/1G genotype (OR = 3.227; 95% CI:1.118-9.31; p = 0.03). The frequency of allele 2G was higher in patients with RHD compared to the controls (69.4% vs. 58.9%; p = 0.048) No significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies of rs3025058 in MMP3 and rs2276109 in MMP12 were found between the patients with RHD and the controls (p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that rs1799750 in MMP1 might be a risk factor for RHD in a Han population in Southern China, and individuals carrying the 2G/2G genotype are likely more susceptible to RHD. In contrast, rs3025058 in MMP3 and rs2276109 in MMP12 might not contribute to the risk of developing RHD in this population. Further studies with larger samples and other ethnic populations are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be the prominent health problem in India, and its incidence is growing in developing countries as well. Matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP 1) is highly expressed in disruption-prone shoulder regions of the fibrous plaques. The present study aims to investigate association of MMP 1 gene polymorphisms (-1607 1G/2G) and serum circulating levels with CAD. The study includes 300 CAD patients, 100 FDRS, and 300 controls. ELISA and PCR-RFLP were performed to determine MMP 1 serum levels and genotypes respectively. MMP1 levels were high in CAD patients, followed by FDRS compared to controls (2.15±1.2ng/ml; 1.46±1.04ng/ml and 0.96±0.53ng/ml) respectively. ROC analysis showed the AUC at 95% CI of serum MMP-1 to be 0.83 and 0.73-0.94, respectively. The optimal cut-off point (sensitivity; specificity) of serum MMP 1 was >1.5ng/ml (0.74; 0.90). The 2G/2G genotype was associated with high MMP 1 circulating levels in CAD patients, and a similar trend was observed in FDRS and controls. The pre-mRNA secondary structure of the 2G allele is much more stable than 1G allele. Our results suggest MMP 1 serum levels and polymorphism as potential independent prognostic markers for future cardiovascular events. These may also help to stratify CAD patients and to identify susceptibility for CAD in asymptomatic healthy FDRS.
