[PMID: 39086208 DOI: 10.1080/14737159.2024.2387652] [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: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/02/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The expression of CYP19A1 has implications for the prognosis of female bladder cancer. However, this study aimed to explore the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP19A1 and bladder cancer risk, as no prior research has addressed this association. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We selected and genotyped five CYP19A1 SNPs (rs4646, rs6493487, rs1062033, rs17601876, and rs3751599) in 217 patients and 550 controls using the Agena MassARRAY system. Logistic regression analysis was employed to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Bioinformatics predicted SNP functions and CYP19A1 involving pathways. RESULTS Our study revealed a significant association between bladder cancer risk and four SNPs (rs4646 (AC vs. CC: OR = 1.71, FDR-p = 0.005), rs6493487 (G vs. A: OR = 0.68, FDR-p = 0.011), rs1062033 (G vs. C: OR = 0.36, FDR-p < 0.001), and rs17601876 (GA vs. GG: OR = 1.66, FDR-p = 0.008)) in CYP19A1. The three SNPs (rs4646, rs1062033, and rs17601876) were significantly correlated with CYP19A1 expression levels in normal whole blood (p < 0.05). Moreover, CYP19A1 was found to primarily participate in the steroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolic pathways. CONCLUSIONS Consequently, CYP19A1 gene polymorphisms may play a crucial role in the genetic susceptibility to bladder cancer.

Pharmgenomics Pers Med 2023; 16:491-502. [PMID: 37274728 PMCID: PMC10237203 DOI: 10.2147/pgpm.s404160] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/11/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction Ischemic stroke (IS) is a multifactorial and polygenic disease, which is affected by genetic factors. In this study, we explored the role of CYP19A1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in IS in the Chinese population. Methods 1302 subjects (651 controls and 651 cases) were recruited in this case-control study. Four candidate SNPs (rs28757157 C/T, rs3751592 C/T, rs3751591 G/A, rs59429575 C/T) of CYP19A1 were selected by the 1000 genomes project database. The association between CYP19A1 SNPs and IS risk was assessed using logistic regression analysis with odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). False-positive report probability (FPRP) analysis further verified the positive results. The interaction of SNP-SNP was analyzed by multi-factor dimensionality reduction (MDR) to predict is risk. Results In the research, CYP19A1 loci (rs28757157 and rs3751591) were associated with the occurrence of IS. The two variants conferred an increased susceptibility to IS in the subjects aged over 60 years old, smokers and drinkers. Rs28757157 was related to the risk of IS in females, non-smokers and subjects with BMI less than 24, while rs59429575 was related to the risk of IS in males and subjects with BMI greater than 24. Conclusion The study revealed that there is a significant association between CYP19A1 loci (rs28757157 and rs3751591) and IS risk in the Chinese Han population, providing a theoretical basis for further exploring its specific role in the pathogenesis of IS.

Liu G, Duan Y. CYP11B1 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to ischemic stroke in a Chinese Han population. Front Neurosci 2022; 16:1030551. [DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2022.1030551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2022] [Accepted: 11/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
ObjectivesIschemic stroke (IS) is the major cause of death and disability. While previous studies confirmed that CYP11B1 is closely associated with IS, the present study aimed to analyze the impact of CYP11B1 gene polymorphisms on the IS susceptibility.MethodsThe present study genotyped six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (including rs4736312, rs5017238, rs5301, rs5283, rs6410, and rs4534) of CYP11B1 in peripheral blood samples from IS and control populations. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the association between the SNPs and IS risk. The multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method was used to determine the roles of SNP–SNP interactions in IS.ResultsThe present study showed that rs5283 was associated with an increased susceptibility to IS [odds ratio (OR) 1.81, p = 0.012]. On the contrary, rs6410 had a protective influence on IS risk (OR 0.56, p = 0.020). Stratified analyses indicated that rs5283 could enhance the risk of IS in subjects aged >63 years (OR 2.41, p = 0.011), of female gender (OR 3.31, p = 0.001), that do not smoke (OR 1.64, p = 0.005), and with hypertension (OR 2.07, p = 0.003). Whereas, rs6410 was related to a lower susceptibility to IS in subjects aged >63 years (OR 0.43, p = 0.032), of female gender (OR 0.30, p = 0.006), do not smoke (OR 0.42, p = 0.017), and with hypertension (OR 0.52, p = 0.022). Besides, rs4736312 reduced the IS susceptibility in non-smokers (OR 0.69, p = 0.031). Rs4534 had a risk-decreasing impact on IS in non-drinking (OR 0.54, p = 0.016). Moreover, the results of the MDR analysis corroborate that the best prediction model for IS was rs5283.ConclusionThis study revealed that CYP11B1 gene polymorphisms strongly correlated with IS in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke (IS), a multifactorial and polygenic disease, is the most common cause of death. This study aimed to determine the roles of MMP8/MMP10 polymorphisms in IS susceptibility in the Chinese Han population. METHODS MMP8 rs1940475 and rs3765620, and MMP10 rs17860949 from 700 IS patients and 700 controls were genotyped by the MassARRAY iPLEX platform. The impact of polymorphisms on IS risk was evaluated by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Our study indicated that rs17860949 in MMP10 was significantly associated with a reduced risk of IS (OR = 0.632, p = .002). Precisely, stratification analysis showed that rs17860949 was relate to a decreased susceptibility to IS in patients aged > 55 years (OR = 0.472, p < .001), males (OR = 0.632, p = .012), nonsmokers (OR = 0.610, p = .017), and nondrinkers (OR = 0.559, p = .006). All these significant findings were verified by false-positive report probability test. Furthermore, GG genotype and AG genotype in MMP8 rs3765620 polymorphism were related to a reduced triglycerides concentration (p = .018). CONCLUSION Our study suggests that rs17860949 in MMP10 may play a protective role in IS in the Chinese Han population.

COMPUTATIONAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN MEDICINE 2022; 2022:6130413. [PMID: 35620205 PMCID: PMC9129925 DOI: 10.1155/2022/6130413] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022]
Abstract
Objective To explore the clinical significance and value of serum homocysteine (Hcy) and urine 11 dehydrothromboxane B2 (urine 11-DH-TXB2) combined with transferrin-specific peptide (TF-UP) in the diagnosis of stroke. Methods One hundred stroke patients treated from January 2019 to June 2021 were enrolled in our hospital as the study group. All the patients in the study group met the diagnostic criteria of stroke. The focus of stroke was confirmed by CT or MRI, and the first onset was less than 48 hours. One hundred healthy persons who went through physical examination in our hospital were enrolled as the control group. The comparison was taken to explore the clinical significance and value of Hcy and urine 11-DH-TXB2 combined with TF-UP in the diagnosis of stroke. Results There exhibited no significant difference in the history of smoking, drinking, and atrial fibrillation (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, eGFR, history of hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease (P < 0.05). In terms of the levels of Hcy, urine 11-DH-TXB2, and TF-UP, the levels of Hcy and urine 11-DH-TXB2 in the study group were higher compared to the control group, while the level of TF-UP in the study group was lower compared to the control group (P < 0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that there was a significant correlation between Hcy, urine 11-DH-TXB2, TF-UP, and stroke, and Hcy and urine 11-DH-TXB2 indicated positive correlation with stroke disease, while TF-UP level was negatively correlated with stroke disease (P < 0.05). The levels of Hcy, urine 11-DH-TXB2, and TF-UP were adopted as evaluation indexes to draw ROC curve. The results show that the area under the curve (AUC) of Hcy is 0.760 (95% CI 0.670~0.850). The best critical point was 3342.5 pg/mg Ucr, the sensitivity was 65.6%, and the specificity was 77.1%. The AUC of urine 11-DH-TXB2 was 0.773 (95% CI 0.685~0.861). The best critical point was 3354.44 pg/mg Ucr, the sensitivity was 71.2%, and the specificity was 78.3%. The AUC of TF-UP was 0.735 (95% CI 0.641~0.829). The best critical point was 3365.43 pg/mg Ucr, the sensitivity was 68.4%, and the specificity was 80.5%. If Hcy was detected in combination with other indexes, AUC increased to 0.749 when combined with urine 11-DH-TXB2, and AUC increased to 0.797 when combined with TF-UP. When the three are combined, the AUC can reach 0.836, the sensitivity is 79.1%, and the specificity is 80%. It shows that the combined detection of Hcy, urine 11-DH-TXB2, and TF-UP is of higher diagnostic value. The difference of data exhibited statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion There is imbalance between Hcy, urine 11-DH-TXB2, and TF-UP in patients with acute stroke. High Hcy, urine 11-DH-TXB2, and low TF-UP are closely related to the occurrence of cerebral infarction. Hcy, urine 11-DH-TXB2, and TF-UP may be the risk factors of stroke and positively correlated with the degree of neurological impairment. Effective monitoring of Hcy and urine 11-DH-TXB2 combined with TF-UP levels and positive intervention measures may effectively prevent the occurrence and development of cerebral infarction, reduce Hcy and urine 11-DH-TXB2, or increase the level of TF-UP, which may provide new ideas for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract
The previous study has pointed to that endogenous CYP metabolites play an important role in the pathogenesis of coronary heart disease (CHD). The study aimed to identify the association of CYP19A1, CYP1A1, and CYP1A2 polymorphisms with CHD susceptibility in a Chinese Han population. A total of 960 genetically unrelated participants consist of 480 CHD patients and 480 healthy controls were enrolled. Nine SNPs in CYP19A1, CYP1A1, and CYP1A2 were randomly selected and genotyped using the Agena MassARRAY platform. Logistic regression analysis was used for the relationship between selected SNPs and CHD susceptibility by calculating odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) adjusted for age and gender. The distribution of clinical characteristics in different genotypes was evaluated by one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). CYP1A2 rs2470890 TT genotype had a higher CHD risk compared with CC genotype (OR = 3.06, p = 0.032) or CC-CT genotype (OR = 3.04, p = 0.033). Moreover, the contribution of CYP19A1 and CYP1A2 polymorphisms to CHD susceptibility was associated with age, gender, and clinical phenotypes (course of the disease and Gensini score). Besides, CYP1A2 rs762551 was related to serum levels of red blood cell, triglyceride, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, p < 0.05). Our findings provided scientific evidence about CYP19A1, CYP1A1, and CYP1A2 polymorphisms on CHD incidence.

Abstract
The aromatase cytochrome P450 (P450arom) enzyme, or estrogen synthase, which is coded by the CYP19A1 gene, is widely expressed in a subpopulation of excitatory and inhibitory neurons, astrocytes, and other cell types in the human brain. Experimental studies in laboratory animals indicate a prominent role of brain aromatization of androgens to estrogens in regulating different brain functions. However, the consequences of aromatase expression in the human brain remain poorly understood. Here, we summarize the current knowledge about aromatase expression in the human brain, abundant in the thalamus, amygdala, hypothalamus, cortex, and hippocampus and discuss its role in the regulation of sensory integration, body homeostasis, social behavior, cognition, language, and integrative functions. Since brain aromatase is affected by neurodegenerative conditions and may participate in sex-specific manifestations of autism spectrum disorders, major depressive disorder, multiple sclerosis, stroke, and Alzheimer's disease, we discuss future avenues for research and potential clinical and therapeutic implications of the expression of aromatase in the human brain.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), one of the global health issues, is a group of metabolic diseases and is affected by several genetic loci in the clinical phenotype. This study intended to ascertain associations between CYP19A1 and CYP1A2 gene polymorphisms with the T2DM risk in Chinese Han. Methods Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in total including five of CYP19A1 (rs4646, rs6493487, rs1062033, rs17601876 and rs3751599) and two of CYP1A2 (rs762551 and rs2470890) from 512 T2DM patients and 515 non-diabetic controls were genotyped in the platform of Agena MassARRAY. SPSS 18.0 was utilized for analyzing genotyping results. Logistic regression models were conducted for the risk assessment by the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results The results suggested a significant association between genotype GC of rs1062033 with a decreased T2DM risk (OR = 0.73, 95% CI = 0.55–0.96, P = 0.025) under the co-dominant (heterozygous) model. The results of stratification analysis with age and gender adjustment revealed that the effects of all selected SNPs in CYP19A1 and CYP1A2 on the T2DM susceptibility were dependent on age, body mass index (BMI) and disease progression (P <  0.05). The haplotype analysis was further conducted and the results indicated that Crs1062033Grs17601876Ars3751599 in CYP19A1 played a protective role (OR = 0.48, 95% CI = 0.25–0.91, P = 0.026) in T2DM patients with diabetic retinopathy. Conclusion This population-based case-control study suggested that CYP19A1 and CYP1A2 variations might affect the susceptibility of T2DM. The findings provide a theoretical basis for searching the clinical therapeutic markers and attractive drug targets of T2DM.
