BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:8468202. [PMID: 36246967 PMCID: PMC9556174 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8468202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Materials and Methods 195 patients with ACS, 200 patients with LAS, and 234 control subjects were enrolled in this case-control study. Real-time PCR was used for ANRIL rs4977574 genotyping. SPSS software package (version 17.0, IBM, USA) was used for data analysis. Results A significant association between rs4977574 polymorphism and the risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications was found under the recessive model regardless of adjustment for nongenetic risk factors (OR = 1.551; p = 0.025). Moreover, the link between rs4977574 locus and serum levels of total cholesterol (p = 0.021) and LDL (p = 0.022) was detected. A separate analysis in subgroups demonstrated the association of rs4977574 polymorphism with increased risk of ACS under the recessive model (OR = 1.501; p = 0.048). No relation between rs4977574 site and LAS development was revealed (p > 0.05). Conclusion Obtained data suggested that ANRIL rs4977574-GG genotype can be a possible genetic marker for the development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular complications in Ukrainian population.

Bai N, Liu W, Xiang T, Zhou Q, Pu J, Zhao J, Luo D, Liu X, Liu H. Genetic association of ANRIL with susceptibility to Ischemic stroke: A comprehensive meta-analysis. PLoS One 2022; 17:e0263459. [PMID: 35653368 PMCID: PMC9162336 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0263459] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background
Ischemic stroke (IS) is a complex polygenic disease with a strong genetic background. The relationship between the ANRIL (antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus) in chromosome 9p21 region and IS has been reported across populations worldwide; however, these studies have yielded inconsistent results. The aim of this study is to clarify the types of single-nucleotide polymorphisms on the ANRIL locus associated with susceptibility to IS using meta-analysis and comprehensively assess the strength of the association.
Methods
Relevant studies were identified by comprehensive and systematic literature searches. The quality of each study was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Allele and genotype frequencies were extracted from each of the included studies. Odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals of combined analyses were calculated under three genetic models (allele frequency comparison, dominant model, and recessive model) using a random-effects or fixed-effects model. Heterogeneity was tested using the chi-square test based on the Cochran Q statistic and I2 metric, and subgroup analyses and a meta-regression model were used to explore sources of heterogeneity. The correction for multiple testing used the false discovery rate method proposed by Benjamini and Hochberg. The assessment of publication bias employed funnel plots and Egger’s test.
Results
We identified 25 studies (15 SNPs, involving a total of 11,527 cases and 12,216 controls maximum) and performed a meta-analysis. Eight SNPs (rs10757274, rs10757278, rs2383206, rs1333040, rs1333049, rs1537378, rs4977574, and rs1004638) in ANRIL were significantly associated with IS risk. Six of these SNPs (rs10757274, rs10757278, rs2383206, rs1333040, rs1537378, and rs4977574) had a significant relationship to the large artery atherosclerosis subtype of IS. Two SNPs (rs2383206 and rs4977574) were associated with IS mainly in Asians, and three SNPs (rs10757274, rs1333040, and rs1333049) were associated with susceptibility to IS mainly in Caucasians. Sensitivity analyses confirmed the reliability of the original results. Ethnicity and individual studies may be the main sources of heterogeneity in ANRIL.
Conclusions
Our results suggest that some single-nucleotide polymorphisms on the ANRIL locus may be associated with IS risk. Future studies with larger sample numbers are necessary to confirm this result. Additional functional analyses of causal effects of these polymorphisms on IS subtypes are also essential.

Cells 2022; 11:cells11081346. [PMID: 35456025 PMCID: PMC9028986 DOI: 10.3390/cells11081346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/12/2022] [Revised: 04/08/2022] [Accepted: 04/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
It is now definitively established that a large part of the human genome is transcribed. However, only a scarce percentage of the transcriptome (about 1.2%) consists of RNAs that are translated into proteins, while the large majority of transcripts include a variety of RNA families with different dimensions and functions. Within this heterogeneous RNA world, a significant fraction consists of sequences with a length of more than 200 bases that form the so-called long non-coding RNA family. The functions of long non-coding RNAs range from the regulation of gene transcription to the changes in DNA topology and nucleosome modification and structural organization, to paraspeckle formation and cellular organelles maturation. This review is focused on the role of long non-coding RNAs as regulators of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors’ (CDKIs) levels and activities. Cyclin-dependent kinases are enzymes necessary for the tuned progression of the cell division cycle. The control of their activity takes place at various levels. Among these, interaction with CDKIs is a vital mechanism. Through CDKI modulation, long non-coding RNAs implement control over cellular physiology and are associated with numerous pathologies. However, although there are robust data in the literature, the role of long non-coding RNAs in the modulation of CDKIs appears to still be underestimated, as well as their importance in cell proliferation control.

The Role of ANRIL in Atherosclerosis. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:8859677.

Abstract
There is a huge number of noncoding RNA (ncRNA) transcripts in the cell with important roles in modulation of different mechanisms. ANRIL is a long ncRNA with 3.8 kb length that is transcribed in the opposite direction of the INK4/ARF locus in chromosome 9p21. It was shown that polymorphisms within this locus are associated with vascular disorders, notably coronary artery disease (CAD), which is considered as a risk factor for life-threatening events like myocardial infarction and stroke. ANRIL is subjected to a variety of splicing patterns producing multiple isoforms. Linear isoforms could be further transformed into circular ones by back-splicing. ANRIL regulates genes in atherogenic network in a positive or negative manner. This regulation is implemented both locally and remotely. While CAD is known as a proliferative disorder and cell proliferation plays a crucial role in the progression of atherosclerosis, the functions of ANRIL and CAD development are intertwined remarkably. This makes ANRIL a suitable target for diagnostic, prognostic, and even therapeutic aims. In this review, we tried to present a comprehensive appraisal on different aspects of ANRIL including its location, structure, isoforms, expression, and functions. In each step, the contribution of ANRIL to atherosclerosis is discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to investigate the potential role of ANRIL polymorphisms in susceptibility to periodontitis. METHODS The authors searched Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus up to April 2021 to identify all published studies without any language restriction on the association between ANRIL and periodontitis. A meta-analysis of all ANRIL variants replicated by three or more studies was performed by testing multiple genetic models of association. Pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to estimate associations. Tests for sensitivity and publication bias were performed. RESULTS Twenty-two variants in the ANRIL gene were examined for their potential association with the risk of periodontitis. However, only 4 (rs1333048, rs1333042, rs2891168, rs496892) are replicated at least three or more studies. The ANRIL rs1333048 was the most replicated polymorphisms with five articles, seven different populations comprising of 1331 cases, and 2624 controls. The pooled overall analysis showed that rs1333048, rs1333042, rs2891168, and rs496892 polymorphisms were associated with susceptibility to periodontitis in the whole population in allele contrast and dominant models. Moreover, similar to the overall analysis, rs1333048 polymorphism showed a significant association with grade C periodontitis (known as aggressive periodontitis in 1999 classification) in allele contrast (OR = 1.16) and dominant models (1.19). Interestingly, subgroup analysis also showed rs1333048 polymorphism might influence predisposition to a slowly progressive form of periodontitis (known as chronic periodontitis in 1999 classification). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the ANRIL rs1333048, rs1333042, rs2891168, and rs496892 polymorphisms might influence predisposition to periodontitis, particularly in Caucasians. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE ANRIL gene may represent a potential risk marker for periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) and aortic aneurysms (AA) are two cardiovascular diseases that share a multifactorial aetiology. The influence of family history and genetics on the two diseases separately and in association is well known, but poorly elucidated. This comprehensive review aims to examine the current literature on the gene ANRIL (antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus) and its associations with CAD and AA. METHODS A database search on OVID, PubMed and Cochrane to identify articles concerning single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with ANRIL and their respective incidences of, and impact on, CAD and AA across populations. RESULTS Cohort studies across various ethnicities reveal that various ANRIL SNPs are significantly associated separately with CAD (rs1333040, rs1333049 and rs2383207) and AA (rs564398, rs10757278 and rs1333049), and that these SNPs are present in significant proportions of the population. SNP rs1333049 is significantly associated with both diseases, but is positively correlated with AAA and negatively correlated with CAD. This review further outlines several pathophysiological links via endothelial and adventitial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and sense gene interaction, which may explain these genetic associations identified. CONCLUSION Given the associations uncovered between ANRIL polymorphisms and CAD and AA, as well as the molecular mechanisms which may explain the underlying pathophysiology, ANRIL appears to be strongly linked with both diseases. ANRIL may hence have a future application in screening normal patients and risk stratifying patients with both diseases. Its role in linking the two diseases is yet unclear, warranting further studies.

[PMID: 34418317 PMCID: PMC8435436 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.16849] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2020] [Revised: 06/05/2021] [Accepted: 07/31/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
It has been implied that there is a possible relationship between cyclin‐dependent protein kinase inhibitors antisense RNA 1 (CDKN2B‐AS1) gene rs4977574 A/G polymorphism and coronary heart disease (CHD) susceptibility. However, as the research results are discrepant, no distinct consensus on this issue has been reached so far. In order to further elaborate the latent association of the CDKN2B‐AS1 gene rs4977574 A/G polymorphism and CHD, this present meta‐analysis was conducted. There were 40,979 subjects of 17 individual studies in the present meta‐analysis. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to determine the association strength. Considering the significant heterogeneity among the individual studies, the random‐effect models were used. In the current meta‐analysis, a significant association between CDKN2B‐AS1 gene rs4977574 A/G polymorphism and CHD was found under allelic (OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.08–1.29, p = 4.83×10−4), recessive (OR: 1.36, 95% CI: 1.11–1.67, p = 0.003), dominant (OR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.58–0.86, p = 6.26×10−4), heterozygous (OR:1.210, 95% CI: 1.076–1.360, p = 0.001), homozygous (OR: 1.394, 95% CI: 1.163–1.671, p = 3.31×10−4) and additive (OR: 1.180, 95% CI: 1.075–1.295, p = 4.83×10−4) genetic models. A more significant association between them was found in the Asian population than that in the whole population under these genetic models (p < 0.05). However, no significant association between them was found in the Caucasian population (p > 0.05). CDKN2B‐AS1 gene rs4977574 A/G polymorphism was associated with CHD susceptibility, especially in the Asian population. G allele of CDKN2B‐AS1 gene rs4977574 A/G polymorphism is the risk allele for CHD.

Abstract
Sepsis is a syndrome with life-threatening organ dysfunction induced by a dysregulated host response to infection. The heart is one of the most commonly involved organs during sepsis, and cardiac dysfunction, which is usually indicative of an extremely poor clinical outcome, is a leading cause of death in septic cases. Despite substantial improvements in the understanding of the mechanisms that contribute to the origin and responses to sepsis, the prognosis of sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction (SICD) remains poor and its molecular pathophysiological changes are not well-characterized. The recently discovered group of mediators known as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have presented novel insights and opportunities to explore the mechanisms and development of SICD and may provide new targets for diagnosis and therapeutic strategies. LncRNAs are RNA transcripts of more than 200 nucleotides with limited or no protein-coding potential. Evidence has rapidly accumulated from numerous studies on how lncRNAs function in associated regulatory circuits during SICD. This review outlines the direct evidence of the effect of lncRNAs on SICD based on clinical trials and animal studies. Furthermore, potential functional lncRNAs in SICD that have been identified in sepsis studies are summarized with a proven biological function in research on other cardiovascular diseases.
