[PMID: 38002605 PMCID: PMC10672737 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12226990] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 10/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) C(-1562)T gene polymorphism has been considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our study aimed to evaluate the association between this polymorphism and CVD in diabetes patients. The genotyping was performed in 740 patients with T2DM and 400 healthy subjects. A significant difference in the polymorphism distribution was revealed between patients and controls. The T allele and TT homozygote were associated with increased risk of diabetes (OR 1.88, p < 0.0001 and OR 3.77, p = 0.0002, respectively). The comparison between CVD+ and CVD- subgroups showed a much higher frequency of the T allele in patients with CVD (OR 2.87, 95% CI 2.14-3.85, p < 0.0001). Patients with the TT genotype had a higher prevalence of CVD (OR 3.19, 95% CI 1.55-6.56, p = 0.0015). The carrier genotypes (CT/TT) were correlated with HDL levels in both CVD+ and CVD- subgroups (p < 0.001 for both). In the logistic regression analysis, only C(-1562)T SNP was a significant predictor of CVD in diabetic patients (p < 0.001). In conclusion, our study suggests an association between MMP-9 C(-1562)T polymorphism and an increased risk of CVD in T2DM. If replicated in other studies, it could be considered a genetic marker for predicting risk of T2DM and its cardiovascular comorbidity.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the third foremost reason of death worldwide in both men and women of different age groups, and is associated with 17.8 million mortalities annually due to unknown specific genetic background. Hence, we elucidated the age- and gender-based predisposition of MMP-9 -1562 C > T (rs3918242) genotype and allele frequencies along with serum MMP-9 levels as probable risk factors in the development of CAD. This case-control study comprised 150 CAD patients and 150 controls from the South Indian Population. PCR-RFLP was performed to determine different genotypes of MMP-9 gene and serum levels of MMP-9 were measured using ELISA. Age- and gender-based subgroup analysis was performed to assess the probable risk of genotype-based serum MMP-9 levels. CT heterozygote showed 25.4% increased frequency in overall CAD patients compared to controls (OR, 4.48; p < 0.0001); while it was 29.2% in men patients (OR, 6.68; p < 0.0001). The CT heterozygote incurred 25.2% increased risk of CAD in younger patients (p = 0.0033), and 25.6% in older patients (p = 0.001). Allele frequency analysis revealed 20% increased risk of minor T allele in younger patients (p = 0.001), and was 13% higher compared to older patients (p = 0.04). Patients with CC homozygote and CT heterozygote showed significantly increased serum MMP-9 levels. Further, comparative analysis showed significantly increased MMP-9 serum levels in women with CT heterozygote compared to men with the same genotype. Our findings clearly demonstrated that rs3918242 of MMP-9 gene and high serum levels of MMP-9 are associated with CAD in South Indian population specifically in older women.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide. Most cardiovascular deaths are caused by ischaemic heart diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI). Hereby atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries often precedes disease manifestation. Since tissue remodelling plays an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis as well as in outcome after MI, regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) as the major ECM-degrading enzymes with diverse other functions is crucial. Here, we provide an overview of the expression profiles of MMPs in coronary artery and left ventricular tissue using publicly available data from whole tissue to single-cell resolution. To approach an association between MMP expression and the development and outcome of CVDs, we further review studies investigating polymorphisms in MMP genes since polymorphisms are known to have an impact on gene expression. This review therefore aims to shed light on the role of MMPs in atherosclerosis and MI by summarizing current knowledge from publically available datasets, human studies, and analyses of polymorphisms up to preclinical and clinical trials of pharmacological MMP inhibition.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are endopeptidases participating in physiological processes of the brain, maintaining the blood-brain barrier integrity and playing a critical role in cerebral ischemia. In the acute phase of stroke activity, the expression of MMPs increase and is associated with adverse effects, but in the post-stroke phase, MMPs contribute to the process of healing by remodeling tissue lesions. The imbalance between MMPs and their inhibitors results in excessive fibrosis associated with the enhanced risk of atrial fibrillation (AF), which is the main cause of cardioembolic strokes. MMPs activity disturbances were observed in the development of hypertension, diabetes, heart failure and vascular disease enclosed in CHA2DS2VASc score, the scale commonly used to evaluate the risk of thromboembolic complications risk in AF patients. MMPs involved in hemorrhagic complications of stroke and activated by reperfusion therapy may also worsen the stroke outcome. In the present review, we briefly summarize the role of MMPs in the ischemic stroke with particular consideration of the cardioembolic stroke and its complications. Moreover, we discuss the genetic background, regulation pathways, clinical risk factors and impact of MMPs on the clinical outcome.

Abstract
Background and objective Increased serum levels of advanced glycation end products (AGEs), caspase-3 (Cas-3) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) have been reported in diabetic patients. This study aimed to evaluate association of anthropometric, dietary, and therapeutic factors with serum levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), carboxymethyl lysine (CML), pentosidine (Pen), Cas-3, and MMP-9 in diabetic patients. Methods The current study included 36 diabetic subjects. Dietary intake of the participants was assessed using three-day 24-h recall survey and anthropometric indices were measured. Demographic factors and medication intake of every subject were obtained. Serum levels of CML, MGO, Pen, MMP-9, and Cas-3 were measured using ELISA method. Results Gliclazide consumption was positively correlated with MMP-9 and Cas-3, but not AGEs levels. Females had higher MGO level compared with males. Further, CML levels were negatively correlated with BMI and WHR. Dietary protein intake was positively correlated with MMP-9, Cas-3, and MGO levels. As well as dietary energy and fat intake had significant positive relationship with serum Cas-3 concentration. Conclusion It is concluded that anthropometric characteristics, dietary intake, and therapeutic medications are possible factors that may determine the circulating levels of AGEs, MMP-9, and Cas-3 in patients with diabetes.

BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2021; 21:87. [PMID: 33579197 PMCID: PMC7879511 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-021-01860-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/07/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Hypertension and/or myocardial infarction are common causes of heart failure in Type 2 diabetes. Progression to heart failure is usually preceded by ventricular dysfunction, linked to matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) mediated extracellular matrix changes. We hypothesise that the minor allele of genetic variant rs3918242 in the promoter region of the MMP-9 gene is associated with hypertension and/or myocardial infarction, with resultant progression of dysfunctional cardiac remodelling in patients with diabetes without symptomatic heart failure.
Methods We genotyped 498 diabetes patients participating in the St Vincent’s Screening TO Prevent Heart Failure (STOP-HF) follow-up programme for the rs3918242 single nucleotide polymorphism and investigated associations with the co-primary endpoints hypertension and/or myocardial infarction using a dominant model. We also evaluated resulting cardiometabolic phenotype and progression of ventricular dysfunction and cardiac structural abnormalities over a median follow-up period of 3.5 years. Results The CT/TT genotype comprised 28.1% of the cohort and was associated with a twofold higher risk of myocardial infarction (17.9% vs 8.4%), a reduction in ejection fraction and greater left ventricular systolic dysfunction progression [adjusted OR = 2.56 (1.09, 6.01), p = 0.026] over a median follow-up of 3.5 years [IQR 2.6, 4.9 years]. Conversely, rs3918242 was not associated with hypertension, blood pressure, pulse pressure or left ventricular mass index at baseline or over follow up. Conclusions Diabetes patients with the minor T allele of rs3918242 in the STOP-HF follow up programme have greater risk of myocardial infarction, lower ejection fraction and greater progression of left ventricular systolic abnormalities, a precursor to heart failure. These data may support further work on MMP-9 as a biomarker of ventricular dysfunction and the investigation of MMP-9 inhibitors for heart failure prevention in diabetes, particularly in the post-infarction setting.

Abstract
Background Glaucoma is the irreversible vision loss and contributes second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Matrix metalloproteinase‐9 (MMP‐9) is involved with remodeling and destruction of extracellular matrix. Elevated MMP‐9 levels and various functional variants of MMP‐9 have been associated with glaucoma in different population. In the current investigation, we tested association of MMP‐9 common variants with different clinical categories of glaucoma in Chinese population. Materials and Methods We enrolled total of 396 glaucoma patients those reported to hospital comprising of 212 primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) cases and 184 primary open‐angle glaucoma POAG patients. In addition, 329 normal individuals from similar geographical areas were enrolled as healthy controls. Five common single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs3918242, rs3918254, rs2250889, rs3918249, and rs17576) were genotyped by PCR‐RFLP. Plasma levels of MMP‐9 were quantified by ELISA. Results Heterozygotes (GC) and allele “G” for rs2250889 polymorphism were more frequent in PACG cases compared with healthy controls (GC: P < .0001, OR = 2.26; G: P < .0001, OR = 1.19). Similarly, heterozygous mutant and minor allele for rs3918242 polymorphism were more prevalent in POAG in comparison with healthy controls. Interestingly, distribution of rs17576 variant was statistically higher in both PACG and POAG cases than healthy controls. Furthermore, analysis of plasma MMP‐9 with MMP‐9 polymorphisms revealed significant association of rs2250889, rs3918242, and rs17576 with plasma levels of the protein. Conclusions MMP‐9 mutants are associated with elevated plasma MMP‐9 and predisposed to development of glaucoma.

Prognostic Value of MMP-9 -1562 C/T Gene Polymorphism in Patients With Sepsis. Biomark Insights 2019; 14:1177271919847951. [PMID: 31205414 PMCID: PMC6535903 DOI: 10.1177/1177271919847951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2019] [Accepted: 04/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of sepsis. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) at position -1562 (C/T) in the MMP-9 gene has been associated with differential MMP-9 expression, being higher when the -1562 T allele is present. We evaluated the association of the SNP MMP9 -1562 C/T with severity and mortality in patients with sepsis to establish whether the prognosis of the disease is affected. Materials and Methods: A case-control study exploratory was carried out in a cohort of infected patients. 540 individuals were selected in total, 270 patients with sepsis and 270 controls (infected but non-septic), classified according to the 2016 consensus (Sepsis-3). The presence of the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; allele T and/or allele C) was determined through analyses of restriction fragment length polymorphism and plasma levels of MMP-9 were determined through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay immunoassay. Results: SNP MMP-9 -1562 has two known alleles (T and C), with predominance of the C over the T allele; in the group of patients with sepsis, T allele was found in 7.2% of cases, while C allele in the rest (92.8%); in comparison, in the group of infected but non-septic patients, frequencies were 9.4% for T allele and 90.6% for the C allele (P = .33). Also, the presence of the polymorphic T allele was not related to the levels of MMP-9 in patients with sepsis in comparison with infected but non-septic patients 780 (397-1375) ng/mL vs 646 (172-1249) ng/mL (P = .64). There was also no association between the SNP and sepsis mortality (P = .78). Conclusions: We concluded that there was no association between the SNP MMP9 -1562 C/T and sepsis or between the SNP MMP9 -1562 C/T and sepsis mortality in the Northeastern Colombian septic patient cohort. Further research is needed to clarify the correlation among sepsis, genetic factors with allele T and MMP-9 plasma concentration.

Abstract
Background Effective combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) has improved life expectancy among people living with HIV-1 infection. Treated HIV-1infection increases the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS). Despite sub-Saharan Africa having among the highest rates of HIV-1 infection, the effects of MS in HIV-1-infected individuals on cardiovascular risk is poorly explored. The aim of the study was to assess whether MS and/or HIV-1 treatment correlates with large elastic artery stiffness in HIV-1-infected patients treated with first-line cART. Methods The study sample comprised of 102 subjects free of cardiovascular disease and major risk factors divided into two groups based on HIV-1 infection, treatment, and MS status: HIV-1+/cART+/MS+ (n = 12); HIV-1+/cART−/MS+ (n = 16); HIV-1−/ MS+ (n = 10); HIV-1+/cART+/MS− (n = 42); HIV-1+/cART−/MS− (n = 32); HIV-1−/ MS− (n = 39). MS was established according the International Diabetes Federation definition. Large artery stiffness was measured using applanation tonometry to assess aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) and aortic augmentation index at heart rate of 75 bpm (AIx@HR75). cART included lamivudine/zidovudine and nevirapine or efavirenz. Results The prevalence of MS in the HIV-1-infected patients was 28%. There were no significant differences in aPWV in the non-MS groups. However, in subjects with MS, aPWV was significantly higher in the HIV-1 cART patients (9.0 ± 1.9 m/s) compared with both controls (7.5 ± 1.8 m/s; P = 0.018) and untreated HIV-1 patients (7.7 ± 1.3 m/s; P = 0.023), and these differences remained after adjustment for blood pressure and sex. Aortic PWV was significantly elevated (P = 0.009) in HIV-1 cART patients with MS compared to their counterparts without MS. Untreated HIV-1 patients with MS also demonstrated increased aPWV compared to their counterparts without MS (P = 0.05). Aortic AIx@HR75 was, on average, ~ 5% higher in HIV-1 cART patients with MS (28.3 ± 62% compared with untreated HIV-1 patients with MS (23.5 ± 9%; P = 0.075). Sub-group multivariate analysis identified MS as an independent predictor of increased aPWV in HIV-1 cART patients. Conclusions Our study established that presence of MS in HIV-1 patients on treatment was associated with increased aPWV and hence increased arterial stiffness in sub-Saharan African HIV-1 patients on first-line cART.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Retinal angiogenesis is a hallmark of diabetic retinopathy. Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM). Functional SNP-1562C>T in the promoter of the MMP-9 gene results increase in transcriptional activity. The present work was designed to evaluate the contribution of functional SNP-1562C>T of MMP-9 gene to the risk of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in north Indian Population. METHODS This Case control study comprised of a total of 645 individuals in which 320 were T2DM patients out of which 73 had PDR, 98 had non- proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), 149 T2DM cases without any eye related disease (DM) and 325 non diabetic healthy individuals as controls (non DM controls). Genotyping for SNP-1562C>T of MMP-9 was done by polymerase chain reactions followed by restriction analyses with specific endonucleases (PCR-RFLP). DNA sequencing was used to ascertain PCR-RFLP results. RESULTS T allele frequency in PDR patients was 32.1%, 20.4% in NPDR, 15.4% in DM and 13.7% in controls. Statistically significant difference was observed in both allele and genotype distribution between the PDR versus non-DM control group (p<0.0001 by T allele; p=0.002 by TT and p<0.0001 by CT genotype). CONCLUSIONS The present study suggests that the functional SNP-1562C>T in the promoter of the MMP-9 gene could be regarded as a major risk factor for PDR as increased MMP-9 production from high expressing T allele may promote retinal angiogenesis.

Cardiology 2017; 139:17-24. [PMID: 29141241 DOI: 10.1159/000481684] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2017] [Accepted: 09/20/2017] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The extracellular matrix is involved in wound repair after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We investigated whether matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)-1, and the MMP inducer (EMMPRIN) are associated with infarct size, left ventricular function, and clinical outcome in ST-elevation-MI (STEMI). METHODS In 243 STEMI patients, circulating EMMPRIN, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 were analyzed 3 days and 3 months post-AMI. Infarct size and left ventricular ejection fraction were assessed by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) (n = 230/226) and MRI (n = 111/167) at 3 months. RESULTS EMMPRIN, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 levels and the MMP-9/TIMP-1 ratio declined from day 3 to 3 months (p < 0.001, all). TIMP-1 levels at day 3 correlated significantly with SPECT- and MRI-based infarct size, troponin T (p < 0.04, all), and amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP; p < 0.001). The upper quartile of day 3 TIMP-1 levels showed an adjusted odds ratio of 5.0 (95% confidence interval 1.2-20.6) for having a large infarct size. An insignificant relationship between MMP-9 and clinical events within 1 year (death, AMI, or stroke) (n = 15) was observed, probably due to the lack of statistical power. CONCLUSION The decline in EMMPRIN, MMP-9, and TIMP-1 3 months after acute STEMI is probably due to initial acute-phase processes. The associations between TIMP-1, infarct size, and NT-proBNP indicate a role for TIMP-1 in cardiac remodeling.

Abstract
This study determined the genotype effects of interleukin (IL)-6/IL-6R single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on circulating levels of different cytokines in healthy and coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with different allele frequencies. In the control patients, rs1800795 showed significant differences in IL-18 concentrations between CC and CG and CC and GG genotypes (P=0.003 and 0.004, respectively). Furthermore, circulatory IL-1β was significantly different between GC and GG genotypes from the same SNP (P=0.038). In the diseased patients, significance was determined only for IL-2 (P=0.021) between the C and G homozygote allele carriers of rs1800795. The diseased GC and GG genotype carriers were statistically different for IL-2 (P=0.049) from the rs1800796 and for IL-4 (P=0.049) from the rs2228044. IL-4 was also statistically significant between the GC and CC genotypes from the rs2228043 of the IL-6R gene (P=0.025). The last combination of genotypes in the same gene for the same SNP was statistically significant for IL-10 (P=0.036). According to the logistic regression, only gender (odds ratio [OR] =2.43) and triglycerides (OR =1.98) could be taken as determinants of CAD, while examined SNPs genotypes were not identified as risk factors for CAD. In general, the IL-6 polymorphism genotypes were mainly associated with inflammatory cytokines, while the IL-6R polymorphism genotypes were associated with anti-inflammatory cytokines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene polymorphisms has been identified which may be probably related to premature myocardial infarction (MI). OBJECTIVE We assessed the relationship between the two polymorphisms of the MMP9 gene including R279Q and C1562T and occurrence of premature MI. METHODS The study has two phases including a case-control study as the first phase and cohort study as the second phase. Initially, 1000 patients with premature coronary artery disease were classified into MI and non-MI groups. Genotyping of the polymorphism was conducted by PCRRFLP and high-resolution melting techniques. Given the two conditions of patients residing in Tehran and faced with their first episode of MI, 640 of 1000 study samples previously followed up with a median follow-up time of 45.74 months were assessed in a retrospective cohort phase regarding long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACE). RESULTS The prevalence of wild, heterozygous, and mutant genotypes of R279Q polymorphism in MI group was 14.5%, 57.3%, and 28.2% and in non-MI group was 36.9%, 38.4%, and 24.7%, respectively, with a considerable difference (P<.001). There was a significant difference in the prevalence of wild, heterozygous, and mutant genotypes of C1562T polymorphisms in MI group (12.4%, 41.2%, and 46.4%, respectively) and in non-MI group (46.8%, 38.6%, and 14.7%, respectively; P<.001). No difference was found in total MACE-free survival rate between genotypes of R279Q and C1562T polymorphisms. CONCLUSION C1562T and R279Q polymorphisms are associated with the susceptibility to premature MI, but cannot predict long-term cardiac events in these patients.

Abstract
Background Genetic variation of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) gene polymorphism has been suggested to modulate coronary heart diseases (CHD), yet the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Methods We investigated the association of MMP9 rs3918242 single nucleotide polymorphism with inflammation and lipid-lowering efficacy after simvastatin treatment in Chinese patients with CHD. Fasting serum lipid profile and plasma inflammatory mediators were determined at baseline in 264 patients with CHD and 186 healthy control subjects, and after HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor simvastatin treatment (20 mg/day) for 12 weeks in CHD subjects. Results We found that plasma MMP-9, TNF-α and IL-10 levels were significantly elevated in patients with CHD compared to control subjects before treatment. The plasma MMP9 in CHD patients carrying rs3918242 CC, CT and TT genotypes were comparable. Interestingly, CHD patients carrying TT genotype had significantly higher level of triglyceride (TG) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) than those carrying CC genotype (P <0.05). Simvastatin treatment significantly reduced LDL-C, TG and plasma inflammatory mediator levels in CHD patients. The reduction of LDL-C upon simvastatin therapy was significantly greater in patients carrying TT genotype than those carrying CC genotype (P <0.05). Conclusions MMP9 rs3918242 TT genotype is associated with elevated serum TG and LDL-C, and enhanced LDL-C-lowering response upon simvastatin treatment in Chinese patients with CHD. Clinical trial registration This study was retrospectively registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Registration number: ChiCTR-ROC-17010971) on March 23rd 2017.

JOURNAL OF RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES 2017; 22:8. [PMID: 28400830 PMCID: PMC5361445 DOI: 10.4103/1735-1995.199088] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2016] [Revised: 07/27/2016] [Accepted: 10/25/2016] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Background: Matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) -1562C>T (rs3918242) polymorphism has been proposed as a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) with conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of -1562C>T genetic polymorphism, gene expression and circulating levels of MMP9 with CAD risk in an Iranian subpopulation in in Zanjan City. Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective case–control study we investigated retrospectively 100 patients with angiographically verified CAD and 100 matched controls. Genotyping of -1562C>T polymorphism was done by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Gene expression levels and circulating levels of MMP9 was determined by real-time reverse transcription-PCR and enzyme immunoassay method, respectively. Statistical analysis was done using Student's t-test or Chi-square test by SPSS 16 software. Results: The mean circulating levels of MMP9 were significantly higher in CAD Group than control group (P = 0.002). Mean plasma levels of MMP9 were also significantly higher in triple vessel stenosis patients than double vessel or single vessel stenosis patients (P < 0.001). Moreover, mean plasma levels and gene expression levels of MMP9 were significantly higher in T allele carrier than C allele carrier of MMP9 -1562C>T polymorphism (P = 0.002, P = 0.01, respectively). However, genotype and allele frequencies of MMP9 -1562C>T polymorphism were similar between CAD patients and controls (P > 0.05). Additionally, the -1562C>T polymorphism of MMP9 gene didn't increase the risk of CAD in dominant (P = 0.537) or recessive (P = 0.249) genetic models. Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that circulating levels of MMP9 but not -1562C>T polymorphism of MMP9 gene may be a risk factor for development and severity of CAD in an Iranian subpopulation in Zanjan.

Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study is to determine the association between eotaxin 426 C/T, −384 A/G, 67 G/A, eNOS −786 T/C, 4 a/b, and MMP-13 rs640198 G/T and prognosis of patients with known CAD. Methods. From total of 1161 patients referred to coronary angiography, 532 patients with angiographically confirmed CAD were selected. Their long-term outcome was followed up using hospital database. Subsequent events were assessed in this study: death or combined endpoint-myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, revascularization, heart failure hospitalization, and cardioverter-defibrillator implantation. Results. The multivariate Cox regression model identified age, smoking, and 3-vessel disease as significant predictors of all-cause death. Further analysis showed that eotaxin 67 G/A (GA + AA versus GG) and eotaxin −384 A/G (GG versus GA + AA) were significant independent prognostic factors when added into the model: HR (95% CI) 2.81 (1.35–5.85), p = 0.006; HR (95% CI) 2.63 (1.19–5.83), p = 0.017; eotaxin −384 A/G was significantly associated with the event-free survival, but it did not provide the prognostic information above the effect of two- or three-vessel disease. Conclusion. The A allele in eotaxin 67 G/A polymorphism is associated with worse survival in CAD patients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in the modern world. Traditional risk algorithms may miss up to 20% of CVD events. Therefore, there is a need for new cardiac biomarkers. Many fields of research are dedicated to improving cardiac risk prediction, including genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics. To date, even the most promising biomarkers have only demonstrated modest associations and predictive ability. Few have undergone randomized control trials. A number of biomarkers are targets to new therapies aimed to reduce cardiovascular risk. Currently, some of the most promising risk prediction has been demonstrated with panels of multiple biomarkers. This article reviews the current state and future of proteomic biomarkers and aggregate biomarker panels.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the correlation between genetic polymorphism of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiac remodeling. Methods: A total of 272 subjects who received coronary angiography in our hospital from July 2008 to September 2013 were selected, including 172 CAD patients (CAD group) and another 100 ones (control group). Both groups were subjected to MMP-9 and ultrasonic detections to determine vascular remodeling and atherosclerotic plaques. C1562G polymorphism of MMP-9 gene was detected, and correlation with vascular remodeling and atherosclerotic plaque was analyzed. Results: Serum MMP-9 level of CAD group (330.87±50.39 ng/ml) was significantly higher than that of control group (134.87±34.02 ng/ml) (P<0.05). Compared with control group, CAD group had significantly higher intima-media thickness, and significantly lower systolic peak velocity, mean systolic velocity and end-diastolic velocity (P<0.05). Total area of stenotic blood vessels was 67.34±22.98 mm2, while that of control blood vessels was 64.00±20.83 mm2. G/G, G/C and C/C genotype frequencies of MMP-9 differed significantly in the two groups (P<0.05). G and C allele frequencies of CAD group (70.9% and 29.1%) were significantly different from those of control group (50.0% and 50.0%) (P<0.05). G/G, G/C and C/C genotypes were manifested as lipid-rich, fibrous and calcified or ulcerated plaques respectively. Total area of stenotic blood vessels of G/G genotype significantly exceeded those of G/C and C/C genotypes (P<0.05), whereas the latter two had no significant differences. Conclusion: CAD promoted 1562C-G transformation of MMP-9 gene into genetic polymorphism, thus facilitating arterial remodeling and increasing unstable atherosclerotic plaques.
