INFECTION, GENETICS AND EVOLUTION : JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR EPIDEMIOLOGY AND EVOLUTIONARY GENETICS IN INFECTIOUS DISEASES 2023; 111:105416. [PMID: 36889485 PMCID: PMC10167540 DOI: 10.1016/j.meegid.2023.105416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 02/02/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
Eliminating schistosomiasis as a public health problem by 2030 requires a better understanding of the disease transmission, especially the asymmetric distribution of worm burden in individuals living and sharing the same environment. It is in this light that this study was designed to identify human genetic determinants associated with high burden of S. mansoni and also with the plasma concentrations of IgE and four cytokines in children from two schistosomiasis endemic areas of Cameroon. In school-aged children of schistosomiasis endemic areas of Makenene and Nom-Kandi of Cameroon, S. mansoni infections and their infection intensities were evaluated in urine and stool samples using respectively the Point-of-care Circulating Cathodic Antigen test (POC-CCA) and the Kato Katz (KK) test. Thereafter, blood samples were collected in children harbouring high burden of schistosome infections as well as in their parents and siblings. DNA extracts and plasma were obtained from blood. Polymorphisms at 14 loci of five genes were assessed using PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism and amplification-refractory mutation system. The ELISA test enabled to determine the plasma concentrations of IgE, IL-13, IL-10, IL-4 and IFN-γ. The prevalence of S. mansoni infections was significantly higher (P < 0.0001 for POC-CCA; P = 0.001 for KK) in Makenene (48.6% for POC-CCA and 7.9% for KK) compared to Nom-Kandi (31% for POC-CCA and 4.3% for KK). The infection intensities were also higher (P < 0.0001 for POC-CCA; P = 0.001 for KK) in children from Makenene than those from Nom-Kandi. The allele C of SNP rs3024974 of STAT6 was associated with an increased risk of bearing high burden of S. mansoni both in the additive (p = 0.009) and recessive model (p = 0.01) while the allele C of SNP rs1800871 of IL10 was protective (p = 0.0009) against high burden of S. mansoni. The alleles A of SNP rs2069739 of IL13 and G of SNP rs2243283 of IL4 were associated with an increased risk of having low plasma concentrations of IL-13 (P = 0.04) and IL-10 (P = 0.04), respectively. This study showed that host genetic polymorphisms may influence the outcome (high or low worm burden) of S. mansoni infections and also the plasma concentrations of some cytokines.

Abstract
Background Metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) has been recognized as a major player in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the study was to determine the association between polymorphisms of the MALAT1 gene and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in a Chinese population in Xinjiang. Methods In the case-control study, we genotyped three nucleotide polymorphisms (rs3200401, rs4102217, rs600231) of the MALAT1 gene using SNPscanTM typing assays (1,053 controls and 929 ACS patients). Furthermore, we explored a predictive model using MALAT1 rs600231 and clinical variables to predict the risk of ACS. Finally, the relative expression of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) MALAT1 was also measured in 92 ACS patients and 92 controls using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Results The prevalence of the GG genotype of rs600231 in ACS group was higher than that in control group (15.7% vs. 14.7%, P=0.048). The dominant model differed (AG + GG vs. AA) and the G allele of rs600231 in ACS group was higher than that in control group (for dominant model: 66.2% vs. 60.9%, P=0.014; for allele: 41.0% vs. 37.8%, P=0.042). Multivariate logistic regression analysis and the predictive nomogram model showed that the dominant model of rs600231 remained an independent risk factor for ACS [odds ratio (OR) =1.32, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07-1.63, P=0.009]. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) for the nomogram model for the prediction of ACS was 0.738 (95% CI: 0.716-0.761). In addition, in the AG and GG phenotypes, the relative expression of lncRNA MALAT1 was significantly higher in ACS patients than in controls with the same phenotypes (P<0.05). Among ACS group, compared to other genotype carriers, the relative expression level of MALAT1 in GG genotype carriers was higher (P<0.05). Conclusions The present study suggested that the AG and GG genotype of rs600231 in MALAT1 gene was independently associated with ACS, and could be a risk genetic marker of ACS in a Chinese population in Xinjiang.

Abstract
Vascular calcification (VC), which is categorized by intimal and medial calcification, depending on the site(s) involved within the vessel, is closely related to cardiovascular disease. Specifically, medial calcification is prevalent in certain medical situations, including chronic kidney disease and diabetes. The past few decades have seen extensive research into VC, revealing that the mechanism of VC is not merely a consequence of a high-phosphorous and -calcium milieu, but also occurs via delicate and well-organized biologic processes, including an imbalance between osteochondrogenic signaling and anticalcific events. In addition to traditionally established osteogenic signaling, dysfunctional calcium homeostasis is prerequisite in the development of VC. Moreover, loss of defensive mechanisms, by microorganelle dysfunction, including hyper-fragmented mitochondria, mitochondrial oxidative stress, defective autophagy or mitophagy, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, may all contribute to VC. To facilitate the understanding of vascular calcification, across any number of bioscientific disciplines, we provide this review of a detailed updated molecular mechanism of VC. This encompasses a vascular smooth muscle phenotypic of osteogenic differentiation, and multiple signaling pathways of VC induction, including the roles of inflammation and cellular microorganelle genesis.

Abstract
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is highly prevalent and has no pharmaceutical treatment. Surgical replacement of the aortic valve has proved effective in advanced disease but is costly, time limited, and in many cases not optimal for elderly patients. This has driven an increasing interest in noninvasive therapies for patients with CAVD. Adaptive immune cell signaling in the aortic valve has shown potential as a target for such a therapy. Up to 15% of cells in the healthy aortic valve are hematopoietic in origin, and these cells, which include macrophages, T lymphocytes, and B lymphocytes, are increased further in calcified specimens. Additionally, cytokine signaling has been shown to play a causative role in aortic valve calcification both in vitro and in vivo. This review summarizes the physiological presence of hematopoietic cells in the valve, innate and adaptive immune cell infiltration in disease states, and the cytokine signaling pathways that play a significant role in CAVD pathophysiology and may prove to be pharmaceutical targets for this disease in the near future.

Association of genetic variations in the Wnt signaling pathway genes with myocardial infarction susceptibility in Chinese Han population. Oncotarget 2018; 7:52740-52750. [PMID: 27391264 PMCID: PMC5288145 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.10401] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/26/2016] [Accepted: 06/18/2016] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Numerous studies have implicated the Wnt pathway in the development and progression of myocardial infarction (MI); however, there are very few investigations addressing the effects of polymorphisms in the Wnt pathway genes on MI susceptibility. We investigated the possible correlation between genetic variations in Wnt pathway genes and MI risk. Three polymorphisms (rs7832767 C > T in SFRP1 gene, rs2293303 C > T in CTNNB1 gene, rs16893344 C > T in WISP1 gene) were finally selected and genotyped in 465 MI patients and 485 healthy controls, using the PCR-RFLP method. We found that the SFRP1 rs7832767 variant allele (T) was associated with a significantly increased risk of MI [TT vs. CC: adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.13, 95% CI = 1.78-5.51; CT/TT vs. CC: AOR = 1.53, 95% CI = 1.12-2.08; TT vs. CC/CT: AOR = 2.87, 95% CI = 1.66-4.97)]. The significant association with MI risk was also found for the CTNNB1 rs2293303 (CT vs. CC: AOR = 3.48, 95% CI = 2.28-5.33; TT vs. CC: AOR = 7.37, 95% CI = 2.08-26.16; CT/TT vs. CC: AOR = 3.72, 95% CI = 2.46-5.62; TT vs. CC/CT: AOR = 5.52, 95% CI = 1.58-19.28), and WISP1 rs16893344 polymorphisms (CT vs. CC: AOR = 2.43, 95% CI = 1.70-3.47; TT vs. CC: AOR = 5.17, 95% CI = 1.85-14.41; CT/TT vs. CC: AOR = 2.58, 95% CI = 1.83-3.66; TT vs. CC/CT: AOR = 3.88, 95% CI = 1.41-10.64). The associations remain significant in stratified analysis by demographic and clinical characteristics of participants, with few exceptions. Our study provided the first evidence of the association between polymorphisms in the Wnt pathway genes and MI susceptibility in Chinese Han population. Epidemiological studies with larger samples and functional analyses are warranted to further verify our results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). As F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7) gene is an important regulating factor for lipid metabolism, the aim of the present study is to assess the association between human FBXW7 gene polymorphisms and CAD among Han Chinese and Uygur Chinese populations in Xinjiang, China. METHODS A total of 1,312 Han Chinese (650 CAD patients and 662 controls) and 834 Uygur Chinese (414 CAD patients and 420 controls) were enrolled in this case-control study. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2255137 T>C, rs2292743 A>T, rs35311955 G>C of FBXW7 were selected and genotyped using the improved multiplex ligase detection reaction (iMLDR) method. RESULTS We found that the rs2255137 CC genotype was very common in the CAD patients compared with the control subjects in the Uygur Chinese populations. After adjustments for several confounders: age, gender, smoking, drinking, hypertension, diabetes, TG, TC, HDL-C and LDL-C, this association remained significant. Furthermore, we investigated the relationships between rs2255137 genotypes and the circulating serum lipid levels and found that people carrying the C allele of rs2255137 may have higher serum lipid levels in the Uygur Chinese populations. CONCLUSION Our results indicate that rs2255137 in FBXW7 gene is associated with CAD in the Uygur Chinese population in China.

Abstract
Several studies suggest an important role of Acyl-CoA: cholesterol acyltransferase-1(ACAT-1) in the development of atherosclerosis. The aim of present study was to investigate whether there exists a possible correlation between genetic variations in ACAT-1 genes and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. Four polymorphisms (rs1044925, rs11545566, rs12121758 and rs10913733) were finally selected and genotyped in 750 CAD patients and 580 health controls, using the improved multiplex ligation detection reaction (iMLDR) method. We found that the rs11545566 G allele was associated with a significantly elevated CAD risk [GG vs. AA: adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 1.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.13-2.32, P = 0.008; GA/GG vs. AA: AOR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.22-2.29, P = 0.001]. The rs10913733 G allele was also associated with a significantly elevated CAD risk (GG vs. TT: AOR = 1.57, 95% CI = 1.08-2.28, P = 0.018; GT/GG vs. TT: AOR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.07-1.79, P = 0.013). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the rs11545566 polymorphism was independently associated with the Gensini scores (P = 0.005). The Gensini score of subjects in the variant GG genotype group and the GG/GA genotype group were higher than the score of subjects in the AA genotype group (32.49 ± 26.60 and 31.26 ± 26.96 vs. 23.45 ± 21.64; P = 0.001 and 0.002, respectively). Our results demonstrate that ACAT-1 rs1154556 and rs10913733 polymorphism are novel genetic factors in the development of CAD. Rs11545566 was also associated with the severity of CAD.

Abstract
Background Hyperlipidemia is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). The current study was designed to explore the possible correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the lipid homeostasis regulatory genes F-box and WD repeat domain-containing 7 (FBXW7) and sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) with CAD among Han Chinese and Uygur Chinese populations in Xinjiang, China. Results In the Uygur Chinese population, rs9902941 in SREBP-1 and rs10033601 in FBXW7 were found to be associated with CAD in a recessive model (TT vs. CT + CC, P = 0.032; GG vs. AG + AA, P = 0.010, respectively), and rs7288536 in SREBP-2 was found to be associated with CAD in an additive model (CT vs. CC + TT, P = 0.045). The difference was statistically significant in the Uygur Chinese population after multivariate adjustments [Odds ratio (OR) = 1.803, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.036~3.137, P = 0.037; OR = 1.628, 95% CI: 1.080~2.454, P = 0.020; OR = 1.368; and 95% CI: 1.018~1.837, P = 0.037, respectively]. There were also significant interactions between the above-mentioned models in the Uygur Chinese population. However, these relationships were not observed before or after multivariate adjustment in the Han Chinese population. Materials and Methods A total of 1,312 Han Chinese (650 CAD patients and 662 controls) and 834 Uygur Chinese (414 CAD patients and 420 controls) were enrolled in this case-control study. Three SNPs (rs9902941 in SREBP-1, rs7288536 in SREBP-2 and rs10033601 in FBXW7) were selected and genotyped using the improved multiplex ligase detection reaction (iMLDR) method. Conclusions The results of this study indicate that variations in the lipid regulatory pathway genes FBXW7 and SREBPs (rs9902941 in SREBP-1, rs7288536 in SREBP-2 and rs10033601 in FBXW7) are associated with CAD in the Uygur Chinese population in Xinjiang, China.

Wang YT, Tao J, Maimaiti A, Adi D, Yang YN, Li XM, Ma X, Liu F, Chen BD, Ma YT. Prevalence of valvular heart diseases and associated risk factors in Han, Uygur and Kazak population in Xinjiang, China. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0174490. [PMID: 28355290 PMCID: PMC5371360 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0174490] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2017] [Accepted: 03/09/2017] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Valvular heart diseases (VHD) is very common in clinical practice and has became the subject of growing attention in the field of cardiovascular medicine. Our aim was to assess the prevalence and correlates of VHD in the general population in Xinjiang, China. Methods Using a 4-stage stratified cluster random sampling method, a total of 14618 participants were recruited in the Cardiovascular Risk Survey (CRS) study. The participants’ personal information, medical history were assessed by questionnaire. VHD was diagnosed by transthoracic echocardiography. We carried out the statistical analysis utilizing SPSS Statistics version 19.0. Results In the total study group, VHD was observed in 1397 (9.65%) individuals. The prevalence rates of VHD in Han, Uygur and Kazak group are 13.51%, 2.71% and 12.29% respectively. The prevalence rates of VHD increased strikingly with age (all P < 0.001). The results of multinomial regression analysis indicated that VHD were related to age in Han group, to age smoking and hypertension in Uygur group, to age and hypertension in Kazak group. Conclusion Our research provides a unique prevalence rate of VHD in Xinjiang natural population. The result suggests that VHD are notably common in this population (9.65%) and increase with age. There exists significant difference of prevalence rate between ethnics. The main risk factors of VHD are age, hypertension and smoking. Valvular heart diseases should be regarded as a serious and growing public-health problem.

Abstract
Background We evaluated exercise-induced changes in the profile of circulating cytokines and growth factors in patients with AS. Methods We studied 32 consecutive asymptomatic moderate-to-severe AS patients and 32 age and sex-matched controls. Plasma levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β were measured at 4 time points, i.e. at rest, at peak bicycle exercise, one hour and 24 hours after a symptom-limited exercise. Results Exercise increased all the 5 markers in both groups (all p<0.0001). The maximum levels of all tested cytokines were higher in the AS group (all p<0.05) compared with controls. In AS patients the highest levels of VEGF, IL-6, and IL-10 were observed one hour after exercise, while in the control group at peak exercise. In both groups maximum TGF- β levels were observed one hour after exercise. HGF levels were higher at peak and one hour after test in the AS group (p = 0.0001), however the maximum value in AS was observed at peak while in controls after test. In both groups TGF-β was the only marker that remained increased 24 hours after exercise compared with the value at rest (p = 0.0001). The cytokines and growth factors showed no association with heart rate and the workload. Conclusion In asymptomatic patients with moderate-to-severe AS, exercise produces a different pattern of changes in circulating cytokines and growth factors, and maximum levels of all tested cytokines were significantly higher in AS patients compared with the control group.

Cells and extracellular matrix interplay in cardiac valve disease: because age matters. Basic Res Cardiol 2016; 111:16.

Abstract
Cardiovascular aging is a physiological process affecting all components of the heart. Despite the interest and experimental effort lavished on aging of cardiac cells, increasing evidence is pointing at the pivotal role of extracellular matrix (ECM) in cardiac aging. Structural and molecular changes in ECM composition during aging are at the root of significant functional modifications at the level of cardiac valve apparatus. Indeed, calcification or myxomatous degeneration of cardiac valves and their functional impairment can all be explained in light of age-related ECM alterations and the reciprocal interplay between altered ECM and cellular elements populating the leaflet, namely valvular interstitial cells and valvular endothelial cells, is additionally affecting valve function with striking reflexes on the clinical scenario. The initial experimental findings on this argument are underlining the need for a more comprehensive understanding on the biological mechanisms underlying ECM aging and remodeling as potentially constituting a pharmacological therapeutic target or a basis to improve existing prosthetic devices and treatment options. Given the lack of systematic knowledge on this topic, this review will focus on the ECM changes that occur during aging and on their clinical translational relevance and implications in the bedside scenario.
