Abstract
Alterations in vascular extracellular matrix (ECM) components, interactions, and mechanical properties influence both the formation and stability of atherosclerotic plaques. This review discusses the contribution of the ECM microenvironment in vascular homeostasis and remodeling in atherosclerosis, highlighting Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP) and its degrading enzyme ADAMTS7 as examples, and proposes potential avenues for future research aimed at identifying novel therapeutic targets for atherosclerosis based on the ECM microenvironment.

Association of air pollution exposure and increased coronary artery disease risk: the modifying effect of genetic susceptibility. Environ Health 2023; 22:85.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both genetic factors and air pollution are risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD), but their combined effects on CAD are uncertain. The study aimed to comprehensively investigate their separate, combined and interaction effects on the onset of CAD. METHODS We utilized data from the UK Biobank with a recruitment of 487,507 participants who were free of CAD at baseline from 2006 to 2010. We explored the separate, combined effect or interaction association among genetic factors, air pollution and CAD with the polygenic risk score (PRS) and Cox proportional hazard models. RESULTS The hazard ratios (HRs) [95% confidence interval (CI)] of CAD for 10-µg/m3 increases in PM2.5, NO2 and NOx concentrations were 1.25 (1.09, 1.44), 1.03 (1.01, 1.05) and 1.01 (1.00, 1.02), respectively. Participants with high PRS and air pollution exposure had a higher risk of CAD than those with the low genetic risk and low air pollution exposure, and the HRs (95% CI) of CAD in the PM2.5, PM10, NO2 and NOx high joint exposure groups were 1.56 (1.48, 1.64), 1.55(1.48, 1.63), 1.57 (1.49, 1.65), and 1.57 (1.49, 1.65), respectively. Air pollution and genetic factors exerted significant additive effects on the development of CAD (relative excess risk due to the interaction [RERI]: 0.12 (0.05, 0.19) for PM2.5, 0.17 (0.10, 0.24) for PM10, 0.14 (0.07, 0.21) for NO2, and 0.17 (0.10, 0.24) for NOx; attributable proportion due to the interaction [AP]: 0.09 (0.04, 0.14) for PM2.5, 0.12 (0.07, 0.18) for PM10, 0.11 (0.06, 0.16) for NO2, and 0.13 (0.08, 0.18) for NOx). CONCLUSION Exposure to air pollution was significantly related to an increased CAD risk, which could be further strengthened by CAD gene susceptibility. Additionally, there were positive additive interactions between genetic factors and air pollution on the onset of CAD. This can provide a more comprehensive, precise and individualized scientific basis for the risk assessment, prevention and control of CAD.

Abstract
Coronary artery calcification (CAC), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis, predicts future symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD). Identifying genetic risk factors for CAC may point to new therapeutic avenues for prevention. Currently, there are only four known risk loci for CAC identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the general population. Here we conducted the largest multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis of CAC to date, which comprised 26,909 individuals of European ancestry and 8,867 individuals of African ancestry. We identified 11 independent risk loci, of which eight were new for CAC and five had not been reported for CAD. These new CAC loci are related to bone mineralization, phosphate catabolism and hormone metabolic pathways. Several new loci harbor candidate causal genes supported by multiple lines of functional evidence and are regulators of smooth muscle cell-mediated calcification ex vivo and in vitro. Together, these findings help refine the genetic architecture of CAC and extend our understanding of the biological and potential druggable pathways underlying CAC.

Abstract
Motivation Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) commonly assume phenotypic and genetic homogeneity that is not present in complex conditions. We designed Transformative Regression Analysis of Combined Effects (TRACE), a GWAS methodology that better accounts for clinical phenotype heterogeneity and identifies gene-by-environment (GxE) interactions. We demonstrated with UK Biobank (UKB) data that TRACE increased the variance explained in All-Cause Heart Failure (AHF) via the discovery of novel single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and SNP-by-environment (i.e. GxE) interaction associations. First, we transformed 312 AHF-related ICD10 codes (including AHF) into continuous low-dimensional features (i.e., latent phenotypes) for a more nuanced disease representation. Then, we ran a standard GWAS on our latent phenotypes to discover main effects and identified GxE interactions with target encoding. Genes near associated SNPs subsequently underwent enrichment analysis to explore potential functional mechanisms underlying associations. Latent phenotypes were regressed against their SNP hits and the estimated latent phenotype values were used to measure the amount of AHF variance explained. Results Our method identified over 100 main GWAS effects that were consistent with prior studies and hundreds of novel gene-by-smoking interactions, which collectively accounted for approximately 10% of AHF variance. This represents an improvement over traditional GWAS whose results account for a negligible proportion of AHF variance. Enrichment analyses suggested that hundreds of miRNAs mediated the SNP effect on various AHF-related biological pathways. The TRACE framework can be applied to decode the genetics of other complex diseases. Availability All code is available at https://github.com/EpistasisLab/latent_phenotype_project.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Genome-wide association studies have repeatedly linked the metalloproteinase ADAMTS7 to coronary artery disease. Here we aim to highlight recent findings surrounding the human genetics of ADAMTS7, novel mouse models that investigate ADAMTS7 function, and potential substrates of ADAMTS7 cleavage. RECENT FINDINGS Recent genome-wide association studies in coronary artery disease have replicated the GWAS signal for ADAMTS7 and shown that the signal holds true even across different ethnic groups. However, the direction of effect in humans remains unclear. A recent novel mouse model revealed that the proatherogenicity of ADAMTS7 is derived from its catalytic functions, while at the translational level, vaccinating mice against ADAMTS7 reduced atherosclerosis. Finally, in vitro proteomics approaches have identified extracellular matrix proteins as candidate substrates that may be causal for the proatherogenicity of ADAMTS7. ADAMTS7 represents an enticing target for therapeutic intervention. The recent studies highlighted here have replicated prior findings, confirming the genetic link between ADAMTS7 and atherosclerosis, while providing further evidence in mice that ADAMTS7 is a targetable proatherogenic enzyme.

[PMID: 37254794 PMCID: PMC10284140 DOI: 10.1161/circresaha.122.322223] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2022] [Revised: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) is a prevalent cardiomyopathy associated with excessive trabeculation and thin compact myocardium. Patients with LVNC are vulnerable to cardiac dysfunction and at high risk of sudden death. Although sporadic and inherited mutations in cardiac genes are implicated in LVNC, understanding of the mechanisms responsible for human LVNC is limited. METHODS We screened the complete exome sequence database of the Pediatrics Cardiac Genomics Consortium and identified a cohort with a de novo CHD4 (chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 4) proband, CHD4M202I, with congenital heart defects. We engineered a humanized mouse model of CHD4M202I (mouse CHD4M195I). Histological analysis, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, transmission electron microscopy, and echocardiography were used to analyze cardiac anatomy and function. Ex vivo culture, immunopurification coupled with mass spectrometry, transcriptional profiling, and chromatin immunoprecipitation were performed to deduce the mechanism of CHD4M195I-mediated ventricular wall defects. RESULTS CHD4M195I/M195I mice developed biventricular hypertrabeculation and noncompaction and died at birth. Proliferation of cardiomyocytes was significantly increased in CHD4M195I hearts, and the excessive trabeculation was associated with accumulation of ECM (extracellular matrix) proteins and a reduction of ADAMTS1 (ADAM metallopeptidase with thrombospondin type 1 motif 1), an ECM protease. We rescued the hyperproliferation and hypertrabeculation defects in CHD4M195I hearts by administration of ADAMTS1. Mechanistically, the CHD4M195I protein showed augmented affinity to endocardial BRG1 (SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily A, member 4). This enhanced affinity resulted in the failure of derepression of Adamts1 transcription such that ADAMTS1-mediated trabeculation termination was impaired. CONCLUSIONS Our study reveals how a single mutation in the chromatin remodeler CHD4, in mice or humans, modulates ventricular chamber maturation and that cardiac defects associated with the missense mutation CHD4M195I can be attenuated by the administration of ADAMTS1.

ADAMTS7 Attenuates House Dust Mite-Induced Airway Inflammation and Th2 Immune Responses. Lung 2022; 200:305-313. [PMID: 35503474 PMCID: PMC9205806 DOI: 10.1007/s00408-022-00538-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2022] [Accepted: 04/15/2022] [Indexed: 10/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE ADAMTS7 is a secreted metalloproteinase enzyme and proteoglycan associated with the early progression of coronary artery disease. However, there is limited information regarding the role of ADAMTS7 in lung adaptive immunity and inflammation. Thus, we sought to assess whether ADAMTS7 expression in the lung modulates house dust mite (HDM)-induced airway inflammation and Th2 immune response. METHODS The role of ADAMTS7 in HDM-induced airway disease was assessed in ADAMTS7-deficient (ADAMTS7-/-) mice and compared with the wild-type control mice by flow cytometry, ELISA, and histopathology. Furthermore, the antigen priming capability of dendritic cells (DC) was determined ex vivo by employing coculture with CD4+ OT-II cells. RESULTS ADAMTS7-/- mice develop an augmented eosinophilic airway inflammation, mucous cell metaplasia, and increased Th2 immune response to inhaled HDM. In addition, allergen uptake by lung DC and migration to draining mediastinal lymph node were significantly increased in ADAMTS7-/- mice, which shows an enhanced capacity to mount allergen-specific T-cell proliferation and effector Th2 cytokine productions. We propose that the mechanism by which ADAMTS7 negatively regulates DC function involves attenuated antigen uptake and presentation capabilities, which reduces allergic sensitization and Th2 immune responses in the lung. CONCLUSION In aggregate, we provide compelling evidence that ADAMTS7 plays a pivotal role in allergic airway disease and Th2 immunity and would be an attractive target for asthma.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death despite scientific advances. Elucidating shared CAD/pneumonia pathways may reveal novel insights regarding CAD pathways. We performed genome-wide pleiotropy analyses of CAD and pneumonia, examined the causal effects of the expression of genes near independently replicated SNPs and interacting genes with CAD and pneumonia, and tested interactions between disruptive coding mutations of each pleiotropic gene and smoking status on CAD and pneumonia risks. Identified pleiotropic SNPs were annotated to ADAMTS7 and IL6R. Increased ADAMTS7 expression across tissues consistently showed decreased risk for CAD and increased risk for pneumonia; increased IL6R expression showed increased risk for CAD and decreased risk for pneumonia. We similarly observed opposing CAD/pneumonia effects for NLRP3. Reduced ADAMTS7 expression conferred a reduced CAD risk without increased pneumonia risk only among never-smokers. Genetic immune-inflammatory axes of CAD linked to respiratory infections implicate ADAMTS7 and IL6R, and related genes.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a complex disease characterized by the formation of arterial plaques with a broad diversity of morphological phenotypic presentations. Researchers often apply one description of the vulnerable plaque as a gold standard in preclinical and clinical research that could be applied as a surrogate measure of a successful therapeutic intervention, despite the variability in lesion characteristics that may underly a thrombotic occlusion. The complex mechanistic interplay underlying progression of atherosclerotic disease is a consequence of the broad range of determinants such as sex, risk factors, hemodynamics, medications, and the genetic landscape. Currently, we are facing an overwhelming amount of data based on genetic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic studies that all point to heterogeneous molecular profiles of atherosclerotic lesions that lead to a myocardial infarction or stroke. The observed molecular diversity implies that one unifying model cannot fully recapitulate the natural history of atherosclerosis. Despite emerging data obtained from -omics studies, a description of a natural history of atherosclerotic disease in which cell-specific expression of proteins or genes are included is still lacking. This also applies to the insights provided by genome-wide association studies. This review will critically discuss the dogma that the progression of atherosclerotic disease can be captured in one unifying natural history model of atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a preeminent cause of death, and smoking is a strong risk factor for CAD. Genetic factors contribute to the development of CAD, but the interplay between genetic predisposition and smoking history in CAD remains unclear. Using data from the UK Biobank, we constructed several genetic risk scores (GRSs) based on known CAD loci and assessed their interactions with smoking for the development of incident CAD in 307,147 participants of European ancestry who were free of CAD. We fitted Cox proportional hazard models and assessed gene-smoking interaction on both multiplicative and additive scales. Overall, we found no multiplicative interactions, but observed a synergistic additive interaction of GRS with both smoking status and pack-years of smoking, finding that the absolute CAD risk due to smoking was higher for those with high genetic risk. Trait-based sub-GRSs suggested smoking status and smoking intensity measured by pack-years might confer gene-smoking interaction effects with different intermediate risk factors for CAD. Our study results suggest that genetics could modify the effects of smoking on CAD and highlight the value of addressing gene-lifestyle interactions on both additive and multiplicative scales.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2022 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year's edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population and an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, and the global burden of cardiovascular disease and healthy life expectancy. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is a hallmark of heart failure (HF). Our previous analysis of the secretome of murine cardiac fibroblasts returned ADAMTS5 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 5) as one of the most abundant proteases. ADAMTS5 cleaves chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans such as versican. The contribution of ADAMTS5 and its substrate versican to HF is unknown. METHODS Versican remodeling was assessed in mice lacking the catalytic domain of ADAMTS5 (Adamts5ΔCat). Proteomics was applied to study ECM remodeling in left ventricular samples from patients with HF, with a particular focus on the effects of common medications used for the treatment of HF. RESULTS Versican and versikine, an ADAMTS-specific versican cleavage product, accumulated in patients with ischemic HF. Versikine was also elevated in a porcine model of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury and in murine hearts after angiotensin II infusion. In Adamts5ΔCat mice, angiotensin II infusion resulted in an aggravated versican build-up and hyaluronic acid disarrangement, accompanied by reduced levels of integrin β1, filamin A, and connexin 43. Echocardiographic assessment of Adamts5ΔCat mice revealed a reduced ejection fraction and an impaired global longitudinal strain on angiotensin II infusion. Cardiac hypertrophy and collagen deposition were similar to littermate controls. In a proteomics analysis of a larger cohort of cardiac explants from patients with ischemic HF (n=65), the use of β-blockers was associated with a reduction in ECM deposition, with versican being among the most pronounced changes. Subsequent experiments in cardiac fibroblasts confirmed that β1-adrenergic receptor stimulation increased versican expression. Despite similar clinical characteristics, patients with HF treated with β-blockers had a distinct cardiac ECM profile. CONCLUSIONS Our results in animal models and patients suggest that ADAMTS proteases are critical for versican degradation in the heart and that versican accumulation is associated with impaired cardiac function. A comprehensive characterization of the cardiac ECM in patients with ischemic HF revealed that β-blockers may have a previously unrecognized beneficial effect on cardiac chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan content.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW We provide an overview of recent findings with respect to gene-environment (GxE) interactions for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and discuss future opportunities for advancing the field. RECENT FINDINGS Over the last several years, GxE interactions for CVD have mostly been identified for smoking and coronary artery disease (CAD) or related risk factors. By comparison, there is more limited evidence for GxE interactions between CVD outcomes and other exposures, such as physical activity, air pollution, diet, and sex. The establishment of large consortia and population-based cohorts, in combination with new computational tools and mouse genetics platforms, can potentially overcome some of the limitations that have hindered human GxE interaction studies and reveal additional association signals for CVD-related traits. The identification of novel GxE interactions is likely to provide a better understanding of the pathogenesis and genetic liability of CVD, with significant implications for healthy lifestyles and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects >200 million people worldwide and is associated with high mortality and morbidity. We sought to identify genomic variants associated with PAD overall and in the contexts of diabetes and smoking status. METHODS We identified genetic variants associated with PAD and then meta-analyzed with published summary statistics from the Million Veterans Program and UK Biobank to replicate their findings. Next, we ran stratified genome-wide association analysis in ever smokers, never smokers, individuals with diabetes, and individuals with no history of diabetes and corresponding interaction analyses, to identify variants that modify the risk of PAD by diabetic or smoking status. RESULTS We identified 5 genome-wide significant (Passociation ≤5×10-8) associations with PAD in 449 548 (Ncases=12 086) individuals of European ancestry near LPA (lipoprotein [a]), CDKN2BAS1 (CDKN2B antisense RNA 1), SH2B3 (SH2B adaptor protein 3) - PTPN11 (protein tyrosine phosphatase non-receptor type 11), HDAC9 (histone deacetylase 9), and CHRNA3 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 3 subunit) loci (which overlapped previously reported associations). Meta-analysis with variants previously associated with PAD showed that 18 of 19 published variants remained genome-wide significant. In individuals with diabetes, rs116405693 at the CCSER1 (coiled-coil serine rich protein 1) locus was associated with PAD (odds ratio [95% CI], 1.51 [1.32-1.74], Pdiabetes=2.5×10-9, Pinteractionwithdiabetes=5.3×10-7). Furthermore, in smokers, rs12910984 at the CHRNA3 locus was associated with PAD (odds ratio [95% CI], 1.15 [1.11-1.19], Psmokers=9.3×10-10, Pinteractionwithsmoking=3.9×10-5). CONCLUSIONS Our analyses confirm the published genetic associations with PAD and identify novel variants that may influence susceptibility to PAD in the context of diabetes or smoking status.

CLINICAL RESPIRATORY JOURNAL 2021; 15:1003-1011. [PMID: 34087057 DOI: 10.1111/crj.13404] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2020] [Revised: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION People who are eager to quit smoking often lack long-term, daily smoking cessation guidance. In addition, advances in mobile communication technology offer promising ways for providing tobacco dependence treatment. However, it is unclear whether the doctor-WeChat network can improve the smoking cessation rate of nicotine-dependent patients. METHODS In this prospective single-blind cohort study, 250 smokers were enrolled from May 2018 to October 2018. They were randomly divided into two groups, with or without doctors' active smoking cessation service, and followed up for 6 months. The smoking cessation rate and characteristics of successful smoking cessation groups were compared. The reasons for relapse were also analysed. RESULTS After smoking cessation for 3 months, the success rate of the group involving active respiratory physicians was 65.0% (80/123), whereas the success rate of the control group was 34.7% (34/98). After 6 months, the success rate of the group involving active respiratory physicians was 55.3% (68/123), while that of the control group was only 11.2% (11/98). There was no difference in the weight change of the participants between the two groups. Subgroup analysis showed that doctors' participation had a greater impact on the success of smoking cessation in men younger than 45 years or unemployed. CONCLUSIONS Doctors in mobile smoking cessation services played a very important role in improving quit rates. Our research provided methodological guidance for further clinical trials and a template for further real-world applications of smoking cessation services.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2021 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year's edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, the global burden of cardiovascular disease, and further evidence-based approaches to changing behaviors related to cardiovascular disease. RESULTS Each of the 27 chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policy makers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Smoking is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but the relative contribution to each subtype (coronary artery disease [CAD], peripheral artery disease [PAD], and large-artery stroke) remains less well understood. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between genetic liability to smoking and risk of CAD, PAD, and large-artery stroke. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Mendelian randomization study using summary statistics from genome-wide associations of smoking (UK Biobank; up to 462 690 individuals), CAD (Coronary Artery Disease Genome Wide Replication and Meta-analysis plus the Coronary Artery Disease Genetics Consortium; up to 60 801 cases, 123 504 controls), PAD (VA Million Veteran Program; up to 24 009 cases, 150 983 controls), and large-artery stroke (MEGASTROKE; up to 4373 cases, 406 111 controls). This study was conducted using summary statistic data from large, previously described cohorts. Review of those publications does not reveal the total recruitment dates for those cohorts. Data analyses were conducted from August 2019 to June 2020. EXPOSURES Genetic liability to smoking (as proxied by genetic variants associated with lifetime smoking index). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Risk (odds ratios [ORs]) of CAD, PAD, and large-artery stroke. RESULTS Genetic liability to smoking was associated with increased risk of PAD (OR, 2.13; 95% CI, 1.78-2.56; P = 3.6 × 10-16), CAD (OR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.25-1.75; P = 4.4 × 10-6), and stroke (OR, 1.40; 95% CI, 1.02-1.92; P = .04). Genetic liability to smoking was associated with greater risk of PAD than risk of large-artery stroke (ratio of ORs, 1.52; 95% CI, 1.05-2.19; P = .02) or CAD (ratio of ORs, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.12-1.84; P = .004). The association between genetic liability to smoking and atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases remained independent from the effects of smoking on traditional cardiovascular risk factors. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this mendelian randomization analysis of data from large studies of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases, genetic liability to smoking was a strong risk factor for CAD, PAD, and stroke, although the estimated association was strongest between smoking and PAD. The association between smoking and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease was independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.

Association of polymorphisms in ADAMTS-7 gene with the susceptibility to coronary artery disease - a systematic review and meta-analysis. Aging (Albany NY) 2020; 12:20915-20923. [PMID: 33122452 PMCID: PMC7655211 DOI: 10.18632/aging.104118] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2020] [Accepted: 09/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective: To systematically review literature evidence to discover the association of ADAMTS7 (A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin-like motifs 7) polymorphisms and the risk of developing CAD (coronary artery disease). Data sources: A related literature search in online databases, including EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science was undertaken. The period covered was from 2007 to September 10, 2019. Results: Of 256 citations retrieved, nine relevant studies were selected for detailed evaluation. Five SNPs (rs3825807, rs1994016, rs4380028, rs79265682, and rs28455815) in ADAMTS7 gene were identified among included studies. There were 51,851 cases and 89,998 controls included in four studies for SNP rs3825807, 13,403 cases and 11,381 controls included in two studies for SNP rs1994016, 37,838 cases and 38,245 controls included in two studies for SNP rs4380028, 3,133 cases and 5,423 controls included in one study for SNP rs79265682, 103,494 cases and 198,684 controls included in one study for SNP rs28455815. We found most consistent evidence for an association with CAD on coronary angiogram with ADAMTS7 SNP rs3825807 risk allele A in contrast to control G allele, followed by rs4380028 (C vs. T allele), and rs1994016 (C vs. T allele). Conclusions: ADAMTS7 polymorphism is likely an important risk factor for development of CAD. Our data also suggest that the ADAMTS7 polymorphism may be a risk factor for CAD progression in patients who already have pathology in their coronary arteries. Review methods: We included all studies in English language that reported correlation between the ADAMTS7 polymorphism and CAD in human cases.

Novel and Known Gene-Smoking Interactions With cIMT Identified as Potential Drivers for Atherosclerosis Risk in West-African Populations of the AWI-Gen Study. Front Genet 2020; 10:1354. [PMID: 32117412 PMCID: PMC7025492 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2019.01354] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2019] [Accepted: 12/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Atherosclerosis is a key contributor to the burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and many epidemiological studies have reported on the effect of smoking on carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and its subsequent effect on CVD risk. Gene-environment interaction studies have contributed towards understanding some of the missing heritability of genome-wide association studies. Gene-smoking interactions on cIMT have been studied in non-African populations (European, Latino-American, and African American) but no comparable African research has been reported. Our aim was to investigate smoking-SNP interactions on cIMT in two West African populations by genome-wide analysis. Materials and methods Only male participants from Burkina Faso (Nanoro = 993) and Ghana (Navrongo = 783) were included, as smoking was extremely rare among women. Phenotype and genotype data underwent stringent QC and genotype imputation was performed using the Sanger African Imputation Panel. Smoking prevalence among men was 13.3% in Nanoro and 42.5% in Navrongo. We analyzed gene-smoking interactions with PLINK after adjusting for covariates: age and 6 PCs (Model 1); age, BMI, blood pressure, fasting glucose, cholesterol levels, MVPA, and 6 PCs (Model 2). All analyses were performed at site level and for the combined data set. Results In Nanoro, we identified new gene-smoking interaction variants for cIMT within the previously described RCBTB1 region (rs112017404, rs144170770, and rs4941649) (Model 1: p = 1.35E-07; Model 2: p = 3.08E-08). In the combined sample, two novel intergenic interacting variants were identified, rs1192824 in the regulatory region of TBC1D8 (p = 5.90E-09) and rs77461169 (p = 4.48E-06) located in an upstream region of open chromatin. In silico functional analysis suggests the involvement of genes implicated in biological processes related to cell or biological adhesion and regulatory processes in gene-smoking interactions with cIMT (as evidenced by chromatin interactions and eQTLs). Discussion This is the first gene-smoking interaction study for cIMT, as a risk factor for atherosclerosis, in sub-Saharan African populations. In addition to replicating previously known signals for RCBTB1, we identified two novel genomic regions (TBC1D8, near BCHE) involved in this gene-environment interaction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports on the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2020 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year's edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, metrics to assess and monitor healthy diets, an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, a focus on the global burden of cardiovascular disease, and further evidence-based approaches to changing behaviors, implementation strategies, and implications of the American Heart Association's 2020 Impact Goals. RESULTS Each of the 26 chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policy makers, media professionals, clinicians, healthcare administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
Extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) had been reported to be involved in the occurrence and development of coronary heart disease (CHD) in previous studies. This study aimed to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms of EMMPRIN and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) contributed to the onset and severity of CHD. One thousand seventy patients suspected to have CHD were enrolled into the study. Each patient had undergone coronary angiogram, and the severity of coronary artery stenosis was assessed by Gensini score. Eight hundred twelve patients were confirmed to have CHD, while 258 patients were selected as non-CHD control. All patients were genotyped for five EMMPRIN polymorphisms (rs8259, rs28915400, rs4919859, rs6758, and rs8637) and one MMP-9 polymorphism (rs3918242) by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and confirmed by direct sequencing. EMMPRIN polymorphism rs8259 and MMP-9 polymorphism rs3918242 were found to be associated with CHD (rs8259: AT vs. AA, adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 2.038, adjusted 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.080-3.847, p = 0.028; rs3918242: CT vs. CC, adjusted OR = 0.607, adjusted 95% CI = 0.403-0.916, p = 0.017, TT vs. CC, adjusted OR = 2.559, adjusted 95% CI = 1.326-4.975, p = 0.006). No crossover effects were observed although a single environmental or genetic factor had an impact on the occurrence of CHD. The value of the Gensini score revealed that severity of CHD decreased in the rs3918242 CT carriers in both the male and female population. Our study suggested that EMMPRIN rs8259 and MMP-9 rs3918242 polymorphisms may contribute to pathological process of CHD. It could play a critical role in the prediction of CHD.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and secondary damages of the myocardium in the form of ischemic heart disease remain major causes of death in Western countries. Beyond traditional risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or diabetes, a positive family history is known to increase risk. The genetic factors underlying this observation remained unknown for decades until genetic studies were able to identify multiple genomic loci contributing to the heritability of the trait. Knowledge of the affected genes and the resulting molecular and cellular mechanisms leads to improved understanding of the pathophysiology leading to coronary atherosclerosis. Major goals are also to improve prevention and therapy of coronary artery disease and its sequelae via improved risk prediction tools and pharmacological targets. In this chapter, we recapitulate recent major findings. We focus on established novel targets and discuss possible further targets which are currently explored in translational studies.

Abstract
RATIONALE Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is characterized by pulmonary vascular remodeling with aberrant pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) proliferation, endothelial dysfunction, and extracellular matrix remodeling. OBJECTIVE Right ventricular (RV) failure is an important prognostic factor in PAH. Thus, we need to elucidate a novel therapeutic target in both PAH and RV failure. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed microarray analysis in PASMCs from patients with PAH (PAH-PASMCs) and controls. We found a ADAMTS8 (disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 8), a secreted protein specifically expressed in the lung and the heart, was upregulated in PAH-PASMCs and the lung in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (PH) in mice. To elucidate the role of ADAMTS8 in PH, we used vascular smooth muscle cell-specific ADAMTS8-knockout mice (ADAMTSΔSM22). Hypoxia-induced PH was attenuated in ADAMTSΔSM22 mice compared with controls. ADAMTS8 overexpression increased PASMC proliferation with downregulation of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase). In contrast, deletion of ADAMTS8 reduced PASMC proliferation with AMPK upregulation. Moreover, deletion of ADAMTS8 reduced mitochondrial fragmentation under hypoxia in vivo and in vitro. Indeed, PASMCs harvested from ADAMTSΔSM22 mice demonstrated that phosphorylated DRP-1 (dynamin-related protein 1) at Ser637 was significantly upregulated with higher expression of profusion genes (Mfn1 and Mfn2) and improved mitochondrial function. Moreover, recombinant ADAMTS8 induced endothelial dysfunction and matrix metalloproteinase activation in an autocrine/paracrine manner. Next, to elucidate the role of ADAMTS8 in RV function, we developed a cardiomyocyte-specific ADAMTS8 knockout mice (ADAMTS8ΔαMHC). ADAMTS8ΔαMHC mice showed ameliorated RV failure in response to chronic hypoxia. In addition, ADAMTS8ΔαMHC mice showed enhanced angiogenesis and reduced RV ischemia and fibrosis. Finally, high-throughput screening revealed that mebendazole, which is used for treatment of parasite infections, reduced ADAMTS8 expression and cell proliferation in PAH-PASMCs and ameliorated PH and RV failure in PH rodent models. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate that ADAMTS8 is a novel therapeutic target in PAH.

Abstract
Periodontitis has low-prevalence, highly severe disease manifestations with an early onset and rapid progression. The diagnosis is based on severe destruction of the alveolar bone in adolescents and young adults. Genetic susceptibility variants and smoking are well-established risk factors, but their interactions in modifying disease susceptibility have not been studied. We aimed to identify genetic risk variants of early-onset periodontitis that unmask their effects on tobacco smoke exposure. To this end, we analyzed 79,780,573 common variants in 741 northwest Europeans diagnosed to have >30% bone loss at >2 teeth before 35 y of age, using imputed genotypes of the OmniExpress BeadChip. Never versus ever smokers were compared in a logistic regression analysis via a case-only approach. To explore the effect of tobacco smoke on the expression of the G×S-associated genes, cultures of primary gingival fibroblasts ( n = 9) were exposed to cigarette smoke extract, and transcripts were quantified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. We identified 16 loci for which our analysis suggested an association with G×S increased disease risk ( P < 5 × 10−5). Nine loci had previously been reported to be associated with spirometric measures of pulmonary function by an earlier G×S genome-wide association study. Genome-wide significant cis expression quantitative trait loci were reported for G×S-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms at ST8SIA1 and SOST, indicating a causal role of these genes in tobacco-related etiopathology. Notably, SOST is a negative regulator of bone growth, and ST8SIA1 has a role in tissue remodeling. Cigarette smoke extract significantly altered the expression of 2 associated genes: SSH1 ( P = 5 × 10−07), which is required for NF-κB activation and innate immune responses to bacterial invasion, and ST8SIA1 ( P = 0.0048). We conclude that the genetic predisposition to early-onset periodontitis is in part triggered by smoking and that tobacco smoke directly affects the expression of genes involved in bone homeostasis, tissue repair, and immune response.

Abstract
Recent studies have led to a broader understanding of the genetic architecture of coronary artery disease and demonstrate that it largely derives from the cumulative effect of multiple common risk alleles individually of small effect size rather than rare variants with large effects on coronary artery disease risk. The tools applied include genome-wide association studies encompassing over 200 000 individuals complemented by bioinformatic approaches including imputation from whole-genome data sets, expression quantitative trait loci analyses, and interrogation of ENCODE (Encyclopedia of DNA Elements), Roadmap Epigenetic Project, and other data sets. Over 160 genome-wide significant loci associated with coronary artery disease risk have been identified using the genome-wide association studies approach, 90% of which are situated in intergenic regions. Here, I will describe, in part, our research over the last decade performed in collaboration with a series of bright trainees and an extensive number of groups and individuals around the world as it applies to our understanding of the genetic basis of this complex disease. These studies include computational approaches to better understand missing heritability and identify causal pathways, experimental approaches, and progress in understanding at the molecular level the function of the multiple risk loci identified and potential applications of these genomic data in clinical medicine and drug discovery.

Abstract
Large-scale genome-wide association analyses show an association between ADAMTS7 variations and coronary risk. However, the link between ADAMTS7 variability and ischaemic stroke (IS) has yet to be determined. This study evaluated ADAMTS7 variants with respect to the risk of IS. Genetic association analyses were performed in two independent case-control cohorts with 1279 patients with IS and 1268 age-matched healthy controls. Four variant genotypes of the ADAMTS7 gene were identified using the Multiplex SNaPshot assay. The rs3825807, rs11634042, and rs7173743 variants of ADAMTS7 were related to lower IS risk in both initial and replication cohort. The G-T-T-C and G-T-C-C haplotypes are significantly less prevalent in the IS group than in the control group. Further stratification according to IS subtypes indicated that carriers with the variant alleles of the rs3825807, rs11634042 and rs7173743 variants of ADAMTS7conferred a lower risk of developing large-artery atherosclerosis stroke subtype. Also, the mutated rs3825807 G allele, as well as the mutated rs11634042 T allele of ADAMTS7, are linked to a significant reduction of ADAMTS7 in patients with IS. Our findings confirm the role of ADAMTS7 in the pathophysiology of IS, with potentially significant implications for the prevention, treatment, and development of novel therapies for IS.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW To summarize current knowledge on interactions between genetic variants and lifestyle factors (G×L) associated with the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) and prioritize future research. RECENT FINDINGS Genetic risk and combined lifestyle factors and behaviors have a log-additive effect on the risk of developing CAD. First, we describe genetic and lifestyle factors associated with CAD and then focus on G×L interactions. The majority of G×L interaction studies are small-scale candidate gene studies that lack replication and therefore provide spurious results. Only a few studies, of which most use genetic risk scores or genome-wide approaches to test interactions, are robust in number and analysis strategy. These studies provide evidence for the existence of G×L interactions in the development of CAD. Further G×L interactions studies are important as they contribute to our understanding of disease pathophysiology and possibly provide insights for improving interventions or personalized recommendations.

Abstract
A relationship of the CXCL12 gene rs1746048 SNPs with AMI has been reported in American, European, Caucasian, and Pakistani populations. However, little is known about this association in the Guangxi Han population. In this study, we detect associations between rs1746048 SNPs and susceptibility, risk factors, clinical characteristics, and gene-environment interactions for AMI. 300 AMI patients and 300 healthy controls of Chinese Han were enrolled. Genotyping of rs1746048 SNPs was performed using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and then confirmed by direct sequencing. Significant differences in both genotypic and allelic frequencies of rs1746048 SNPs between AMI and the control group were not detected (P > 0.05 for each). The frequency of CC genotypes of rs1746048 SNPs was the highest in the 2 h < DT ≤ 6 h subgroup (P < 0.05). The frequencies of the CT genotype and the T allele were significantly higher in the severe complications subgroup of AMI (P < 0.05). There were interactions between the subjects with rs1746048 SNPs and smoking or alcohol consumption (P < 0.017 for each). Rs1746048 SNPs were not correlated with the risk of AMI in present study. For the first time, we discovered that the CC genotype of the rs1746048 SNPs was significantly correlated with DT of AMI; the frequencies of the CT genotype and the minor T allele were positively correlated with the severe complications of AMI. Also, the interaction between the rs1746048 SNPs and smoking or alcohol appears to increase the risk of AMI exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is influenced by genetic variation and traditional risk factors. Polygenic risk scores (PRS), which can be ascertained before the development of traditional risk factors, have been shown to identify individuals at elevated risk of CAD. Here, we demonstrate that a genome-wide PRS for CAD predicts all-cause mortality after accounting for not only traditional cardiovascular risk factors but also angiographic CAD itself. METHODS Individuals who underwent coronary angiography and were enrolled in an institutional biobank were included; those with prior myocardial infarction or heart transplant were excluded. Using a pruning-and-thresholding approach, a genome-wide PRS comprised of 139 239 variants was calculated for 1503 participants who underwent coronary angiography and genotyping. Individuals were categorized into high PRS (hiPRS) and low-PRS control groups using the maximally selected rank statistic. Stratified analysis based on angiographic findings was also performed. The primary outcome was all-cause mortality following the index coronary angiogram. RESULTS Individuals with hiPRS were younger than controls (66 years versus 69 years; P=2.1×10-5) but did not differ by sex, body mass index, or traditional risk-factor profiles. Individuals with hiPRS were at significantly increased risk of all-cause mortality after cardiac catheterization, adjusting for traditional risk factors and angiographic extent of CAD (hazard ratio, 1.6; 95% CI, 1.2-2.2; P=0.004). The strongest increase in risk of all-cause mortality conferred by hiPRS was seen among individuals without angiographic CAD (hazard ratio, 2.4; 95% CI, 1.1-5.5; P=0.04). In the overall cohort, adding hiPRS to traditional risk assessment improved prediction of 5-year all-cause mortality (area under the receiver-operating curve 0.70; 95% CI, 0.66-0.75 versus 0.66; 95% CI, 0.61-0.70; P=0.001). CONCLUSIONS A genome-wide PRS improves risk stratification when added to traditional risk factors and coronary angiography. Individuals without angiographic CAD but with hiPRS remain at significantly elevated risk of mortality.

Abstract
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death worldwide and is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Both prevention of smoking initiation among youth and smoking cessation among established smokers are key for reducing smoking prevalence and the associated negative health consequences. Proven tobacco cessation treatment includes pharmacotherapy and behavioral support, which are most effective when provided together. First-line medications (varenicline, bupropion, and nicotine replacement) are effective and safe for patients with CVD. Clinicians who care for patients with CVD should give as high a priority to treating tobacco use as to managing other CVD risk factors. Broader tobacco control efforts to raise tobacco taxes, adopt smoke-free laws, conduct mass media campaigns, and restrict tobacco marketing enhance clinicians' actions working with individual smokers.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide and poses a considerable public health burden. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed >100 genetic loci associated with CAD susceptibility in humans. While a number of these loci harbor gene targets of currently approved therapies, such as statins and PCSK9 inhibitors, the majority of the annotated genes at these loci encode for proteins involved in vessel wall function with no known drugs available. Importantly many of the associated genes linked to vascular (smooth muscle, endothelial, and macrophage) cell processes are now organized into distinct functional pathways, e.g., vasodilation, growth factor responses, extracellular matrix and plaque remodeling, and inflammation. In this mini-review, we highlight the most recently identified loci that have predicted roles in the vessel wall and provide genetic context for pre-existing therapies as well as new drug targets informed from GWAS. With the development of new modalities to target these pathways, (e.g., antisense oligonucleotides, CRISPR/Cas9, and RNA interference) as well as the computational frameworks to prioritize or reposition therapeutics, there is great opportunity to close the gap from initial genetic discovery to clinical translation for many patients affected by this common disease.

Association of serum ADAMTS7 levels and genetic variant rs1994016 with acute coronary syndrome in a Chinese population: A case control study. Atherosclerosis 2018; 275:312-318. [PMID: 29980058 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2018.06.872] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2018] [Revised: 06/13/2018] [Accepted: 06/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is commonly caused by rupture or erosion of coronary atherosclerotic plaques and secondary thrombus formation. Metalloproteinase ADAMTS7 was found to play an important role in atherogenesis. This study aimed to explore the association of serum ADAMTS7 levels and rs1994016 polymorphism at ADAMTS7 locus with ACS in a Chinese population. METHODS 1881 patients who underwent coronary angiography were consecutively recruited. Among them, 426 patients were matched for case-controlled analysis. Serum ADAMTS7 levels were determined through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and rs1994016 polymorphism was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). RESULTS Serum ADAMTS7 levels in patients with unstable angina pectoris were much higher than in non-atherosclerotic patients, however, no difference was found among non-atherosclerotic patients, the coronary atherosclerosis subgroup and stable angina pectoris subgroup. A higher serum ADAMTS7 level was found in the ACS group than in the non-ACS group (0.61 ± 0.04 vs. 0.47 ± 0.02 ng/mL, p = 0.002) and serum ADAMTS7 level was found to be an independent risk factor for ACS after adjusting for major confounding factors (OR:2.81, 95% CI:1.33-5.93, p = 0.007). ADAMTS7 rs1994016 CT/TT polymorphism was negatively associated with the risk of ACS (OR:0.40, 95% CI:0.22-0.71, p = 0.002). Meanwhile, crossover analysis revealed that in CT/TT homozygotes, ACS risk was reduced nearly 80% in patients with serum ADAMTS7 levels <0.594 ng/mL (Interaction p = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS Serum level of ADAMTS7 was positively associated and rs1994016 CT/TT genotype was negatively associated with the risk of ACS. Patients with lower serum ADAMTS7 level and rs1994016 CT/TT genotype are less likely to suffer from ACS in a Chinese population.

Abstract
ADAMTS proteins are a superfamily of 26 secreted molecules comprising two related, but distinct families. ADAMTS proteases are zinc metalloendopeptidases, most of whose substrates are extracellular matrix (ECM) components, whereas ADAMTS-like proteins lack a metalloprotease domain, reside in the ECM and have regulatory roles vis-à-vis ECM assembly and/or ADAMTS activity. Evolutionary conservation and expansion of ADAMTS proteins in mammals is suggestive of crucial embryologic or physiological roles in humans. Indeed, Mendelian disorders or birth defects resulting from naturally occurring ADAMTS2, ADAMTS3, ADAMTS10, ADAMTS13, ADAMTS17, ADAMTS20, ADAMTSL2 and ADAMTSL4 mutations as well as numerous phenotypes identified in genetically engineered mice have revealed ADAMTS participation in major biological pathways. Important roles have been identified in a few acquired conditions. ADAMTS5 is unequivocally implicated in pathogenesis of osteoarthritis via degradation of aggrecan, a major structural proteoglycan in cartilage. ADAMTS7 is strongly associated with coronary artery disease and promotes atherosclerosis. Autoantibodies to ADAMTS13 lead to a platelet coagulopathy, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, which is similar to that resulting from ADAMTS13 mutations. ADAMTS proteins have numerous potential connections to other human disorders that were identified by genome-wide association studies. Here, we review inherited and acquired human disorders in which ADAMTS proteins participate, and discuss progress and prospects in therapeutics.

Abstract
Precision public health is an emerging practice to more granularly predict and understand public health risks and customize treatments for more specific and homogeneous subpopulations, often using new data, technologies, and methods. Big data is one element that has consistently helped to achieve these goals, through its ability to deliver to practitioners a volume and variety of structured or unstructured data not previously possible. Big data has enabled more widespread and specific research and trials of stratifying and segmenting populations at risk for a variety of health problems. Examples of success using big data are surveyed in surveillance and signal detection, predicting future risk, targeted interventions, and understanding disease. Using novel big data or big data approaches has risks that remain to be resolved. The continued growth in volume and variety of available data, decreased costs of data capture, and emerging computational methods mean big data success will likely be a required pillar of precision public health into the future. This review article aims to identify the precision public health use cases where big data has added value, identify classes of value that big data may bring, and outline the risks inherent in using big data in precision public health efforts.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine the association of rs1333040 SNPs and several risk and environmental factors with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The association of rs1333040 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA1 (CDKN2B-AS1) gene with AMI has been confirmed in some European populations. However, at the time this study was initiated, no rs1333040 SNPs had been associated with AMI in Chinese individuals. Genotypes of rs1333040 were determined in 334 AMI patients and 334 healthy controls from a Chinese Han population by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP), and then confirmed by direct sequencing. The TT genotype of rs1333040 was positively correlated with AMI risk (P < 0.001). The frequency of the C allele of rs1333040 in patients with diagnosis time (DT) > 12 h was lower than that in patients with shorter DT (P < 0.05), with no differences in typical symptoms, serious complications, and infarction location (P > 0.05 for each). There were interactions between the rs1333040 SNP genotype (TT, TC, or CC), and patients who smoked ≥ 20 cigarettes/day (P < 0.017). The rs1333040 TT genotype was positively correlated with the risk of AMI. For the first time, we discovered that the C allele of rs1333040 was significantly correlated with DT ≤ 12 h of AMI. Also, the interaction between the minor C allele of rs1333040 and smoking appears to increase the risk of AMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies identified ADAMTS7 as a risk locus for coronary artery disease (CAD). Functional studies suggest that ADAMTS7 may promote cellular processes in atherosclerosis. We sought to examine the association between genetic variation at ADAMTS7 and measures of atherosclerosis using histological, angiographic, and clinical outcomes data. METHODS AND RESULTS The lead CAD-associated single-nucleotide polymorphism rs3825807 at the ADAMTS7 locus was genotyped. The G allele (reduced ADAMTS7 function) was associated with a smaller fibrous cap (P=0.017) and a smaller percentage area of α-actin (smooth muscle cell marker) in the intima (P=0.017), but was not associated with calcification or plaque thickness, following ex vivo immunohistochemistry analysis of human coronary plaques (n=50; mean age 72.2±11.3). In two independent cohorts (Southampton Atherosclerosis Study [n=1359; mean age 62.5±10.3; 70.1% men] and the Emory Cardiovascular Biobank [EmCAB; n=2684; mean age 63.8±11.3; 68.7% men]), the G allele was associated with 16% to 19% lower odds of obstructive CAD (Southampton Atherosclerosis Study: odds ratio, 0.81; 95% confidence interval, 0.67-0.98; EmCAB: odds ratio, 0.84; 95% confidence interval, 0.75-0.95) with similar effects for multivessel, left anterior descending, and proximal CAD. Furthermore, each copy of the G allele was associated with lower angiographic severity Gensini score (Southampton Atherosclerosis Study, P=0.026; EmCAB, P<0.001), lower Sullivan Extent score (Southampton Atherosclerosis Study, P=0.029; EmCAB, P<0.001), and a 23% lower risk of incident revascularization procedures (EmCAB: hazard ratio, 0.76; 95% confidence interval, 0.59-0.98). There were no associations with all-cause mortality or incident myocardial infarction. CONCLUSIONS Genetic variation at the ADAMTS7 locus is associated with several complementary CAD phenotypes, supporting the emerging role of ADAMTS7 in atherosclerosis and may represent a potential drug target.
