Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSES Numerous studies demonstrate a link between cerebrovascular alterations and migraine pathogenesis. We investigated the association between migraine and vertebral artery dominance (VAD), basilar artery (BA) curvature, and elongation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional MRI study included 74 migraine patients and 74 control subjects aged between 18 and 55 years. Diameters of the intracranial part of the vertebral artery (VA) and BA, height of the BA bifurcation, and total lateral displacement of the BA were measured. In addition, we investigated the directional relationship between VAD and BA curvature. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences between the groups regarding VA and BA diameters and total lateral displacement of the BA. The height of the BA bifurcation was found to be significantly higher in migraine patients compared to controls (p = 0.002). The left-side VAD was more frequent in migraine patients compared to control subjects (60.8% (45/74) vs 41.9% (31/74), p = 0.001). In migraine patients, particularly those with aura (MwA) patients, with left-side VAD, the rate of BA displacement to the right side is significantly higher than those with right-side VAD or non-VAD (p = 0.022). Also, we found that total lateral displacement of the BA is correlated with VA asymmetry in patients with MwA (r = 0.538, p = 0.007). CONCLUSION VAD and its opposite-directional relationship with the lateral displacement of the BA may be associated with migraine pathophysiology. Together with aging, this association may contribute to changes in the vertebrobasilar system (VBS) geometry which may result in increased risk for posterior circulation infarction (PCI) in migraineurs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While migraine, particularly migraine with aura, is a recognized risk factor for ischemic stroke, the association of migraine with silent brain infarction is a matter of debate, as studies on this topic have yielded conflicting results. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was conducted of studies reporting migraine and silent brain infarction, assessed by magnetic resonance imaging, between January 1980 and April 2022, by consulting Medline and Embase databases. Studies with a control group were included in a meta-analysis of population-based studies. An exploratory meta-analysis of both population-based and clinical-based studies was further performed to test the association between migraine with aura and silent brain infarction. RESULTS A total of 2,408 articles were identified, among which 24 were included in the systematic review and 10 in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis of population-based studies showed no association of migraine with silent brain infarction (odds ratio (OR)=1.32 [95% CI 0.92;1.90], P=0.13) and migraine with aura with silent brain infarction (OR=1.56 [0.74;3.30], P=0.24). However, in the exploratory meta-analysis of population-based and clinical-based studies, migraine with aura was significantly associated with silent brain infarction (OR=1.91 [1.02;3.59], P=0.04) and to silent cerebellar infarcts (OR=2.57 [1.01;6.56], P=0.05). CONCLUSION In this updated systematic review and meta-analysis of population-based studies, migraine and migraine with aura were not associated with silent brain infarction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare cerebrovascular reactivity between patients with migraine and controls using state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. BACKGROUND Migraine is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease, but the underlying mechanisms are still not fully understood. Impaired cerebrovascular reactivity has been proposed as a link. Previous studies have evaluated cerebrovascular reactivity with different methodologies and results are conflicting. METHODS In this single-center, observational, case-control study, we included 31 interictal patients with migraine without aura (aged 19-66 years, 17 females) and 31 controls (aged 22-64 years, 18 females) with no history of vascular disease. Global and regional cerebrovascular reactivities were assessed with a dual-echo arterial spin labeling (ASL) 3.0 T MRI scan of the brain which measured the change in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal to inhalation of 5% carbon dioxide. RESULTS When comparing patients with migraine to controls, cerebrovascular reactivity values were similar between the groups, including mean gray matter CBF-based cerebrovascular reactivity (3.2 ± 0.9 vs 3.4 ± 1% ΔCBF/mmHg CO2 ; p = 0.527), mean gray matter BOLD-based cerebrovascular reactivity (0.18 ± 0.04 vs 0.18 ± 0.04% ΔBOLD/mmHg CO2 ; p = 0.587), and mean white matter BOLD-based cerebrovascular reactivity (0.08 ± 0.03 vs 0.08 ± 0.02% ΔBOLD/mmHg CO2 ; p = 0.621).There was no association of cerebrovascular reactivity with monthly migraine days or migraine disease duration (all analyses p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Cerebrovascular reactivity to carbon dioxide seems to be preserved in patients with migraine without aura.

Vikan KK, Landmark T, Gjeilo KH. Prevalence of chronic pain and chronic widespread pain among subjects with heart failure in the general population: The HUNT study. Eur J Pain 2024; 28:273-284. [PMID: 37680005 DOI: 10.1002/ejp.2176] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/21/2023] [Indexed: 09/09/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pain in chronic heart failure (HF) is a significant but often unrecognized symptom. Characteristics of pain in subjects with HF are largely undescribed. The study aimed to address a knowledge gap in the relationship between HF and pain by investigating the prevalence of chronic pain and chronic widespread pain (CWP) among subjects with HF. METHODS Population data from the HUNT3 study in Norway (2006-2008, n = 50,802) was used. HF was measured by self-report. CWP was defined as having pain in both sides of the body, pain in the upper and lower limbs, and axial pain for at least 3 months in the last year. Associations between HF and CWP and HF and moderate to high pain intensity were analysed with logistic regression. RESULTS Among subjects with HF in the general population, the prevalence of chronic pain was 67.8%, 20.7% had CWP, and 58.8% had moderate to high intensity pain. Compared to participants with cardiovascular disease but not HF, the odds of both CWP (OR = 1.6; 95% CI: 1.3-2.0) and moderate to high intensity pain (OR = 1.3; 95% CI: 1.3-1.8) were higher among participants with HF-controlled for age, sex, body mass index, and comorbidity. CONCLUSIONS Our study confirmed the high prevalence of pain among HF subjects. This pain could not be explained by comorbidity or sociodemographic factors, which are relevant for clinical and research purposes. Pain management should not be restricted to cardiac-related pain but to chronic pain in general. SIGNIFICANCE This epidemiological study corroborates previous studies reporting a high prevalence of pain in the HF-population. We found that the relationship between HF, CWP, and pain intensity could not be explained by comorbidity or sociodemographic factors, illustrating the burden of chronic pain related to HF. Our results expand the understanding of pain in HF and highlight the need to identify and manage chronic pain among individuals with HF, as widespread pain adds to the symptom burden in individuals with HF.

Abstract
Patients with migraine with aura are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. There are limited data on arterial stiffness in migraine patients with aura. The present study evaluated arterial stiffness in these patients using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). This prospective study included 50 patients with migraine with aura (43 female, mean age 38.9 ± 9.9 years). The patient group was matched for age and gender with 50 healthy individuals with no history of migraine (43 female, mean age 39.3 ± 10.3 years). All patients and control subjects underwent a comprehensive clinical evaluation by an experienced neurologist and were interviewed about their headache histories. There was no significant difference in baseline demographic characteristics and echocardiographic parameters between migraine with aura patients and the control group. Both right and left CAVI values were significantly higher in the patients with migraine with aura (6.5 ± 1.2 vs 6.1 ± 0.7, P = .043 and 6.6 ± 1.2 vs 6.1 ± 0.7, P = .009, respectively). Arterial stiffness is an important mediator of cardiovascular diseases. We found that CAVI, a novel marker of the arterial stiffness, is increased in patients with migraine with aura.

Abstract
Migraine is a complex neurovascular disease with a range of severity and symptoms, yet mostly studied as one phenotype in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Here we combine large GWAS datasets from six European populations to study the main migraine subtypes, migraine with aura (MA) and migraine without aura (MO). We identified four new MA-associated variants (in PRRT2, PALMD, ABO and LRRK2) and classified 13 MO-associated variants. Rare variants with large effects highlight three genes. A rare frameshift variant in brain-expressed PRRT2 confers large risk of MA and epilepsy, but not MO. A burden test of rare loss-of-function variants in SCN11A, encoding a neuron-expressed sodium channel with a key role in pain sensation, shows strong protection against migraine. Finally, a rare variant with cis-regulatory effects on KCNK5 confers large protection against migraine and brain aneurysms. Our findings offer new insights with therapeutic potential into the complex biology of migraine and its subtypes.

Abstract
Migraine is a chronic neurovascular disease with a complex, not fully understood pathophysiology with multiple causes. People with migraine suffer from recurrent moderate to severe headache attacks varying from 4 to 72 h. The prevalence of migraine is two to three times higher in women compared with men. Importantly, it is the most disabling disease in women <50 years of age due to a high number of years lived with disability, resulting in a very high global socioeconomic burden. Robust evidence exists on the association between migraine with aura and increased incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD), in particular ischaemic stroke. People with migraine with aura have an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death compared with those without migraine. Ongoing studies investigate the relation between migraine and angina with non-obstructive coronary arteries and migraine patients with patent foramen ovale. Medication for the treatment of migraine can be preventative medication, such as beta-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers, antiepileptics, antidepressants, some of the long-acting calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists, or monoclonal antibodies against calcitonin gene-related peptide or its receptor, or acute medication, such as triptans and calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonists. However, these medications might raise concerns when migraine patients also have CVD due to possible (coronary) side effects. Specifically, knowledge gaps remain for the contraindication to newer treatments for migraine. All cardiologists will encounter patients with CVD and migraine. This state-of-the-art review will outline the basic pathophysiology of migraine and the associations between migraine and CVD, discuss current therapies, and propose future directions for research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Migraine is one of the most common primary headache disorders and a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. We aimed to investigate the association between migraine and major cardiovascular outcomes, including myocardial infarction (MI), ischemic stroke (IS), and cardiovascular death (CVD) in people with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 2,229,598 people from the nationwide Korean National Health Insurance Service database with type 2 diabetes but without a previous history of MI and IS were included in this study. We identified patients over 20 years of age with migraine using the claim data of International Statistical Classification of Diseases Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) code G43. The patients with migraine were divided according to their migraine aura status. RESULTS Migraine was present in 6.3% of the study population. Cases observed for MI, IS, CVD, and all-cause death were 2.6%, 3.6%, 5.9%, and 7.9%, respectively. The diagnosis of migraine was significantly associated with an increased risk of MI, IS, and CVD. The results remained significant after adjusting for covariates, including age, sex, body mass index, alcohol intake, smoking habits, physical activity, economic status, hypertension history, dyslipidemia, and duration of type 2 diabetes (MI, adjusted hazard ratio [aHR]: 1.182, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.146-1.219; IS, aHR: 1.111, 95% CI 1.082-1.14; CVD, aHR: 1.143, 95% CI 1.12-1.167). In particular, the presence of aura was associated with a higher risk of MI development compared to the non-aura group. The difference became more prominent with progressing age. CONCLUSIONS In this nationwide population-based study, people with type 2 diabetes and migraines were found to be at a significantly higher risk for major cardiovascular events, including MI, IS, and CVD. The risk of MI and CVD significantly increased with the presence of aura symptoms among patients with migraine.

Genetic Factors for Coronary Heart Disease and Their Mechanisms: A Meta-Analysis and Comprehensive Review of Common Variants from Genome-Wide Association Studies. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12102561. [PMID: 36292250 PMCID: PMC9601486 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12102561] [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: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 10/18/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered 163 loci related to coronary heart disease (CHD). Most GWAS have emphasized pathways related to single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that reached genome-wide significance in their reports, while identification of CHD pathways based on the combination of all published GWAS involving various ethnicities has yet to be performed. We conducted a systematic search for articles with comprehensive GWAS data in the GWAS Catalog and PubMed, followed by a meta-analysis of the top recurring SNPs from ≥2 different articles using random or fixed-effect models according to Cochran Q and I2 statistics, and pathway enrichment analysis. Meta-analyses showed significance for 265 of 309 recurring SNPs. Enrichment analysis returned 107 significant pathways, including lipoprotein and lipid metabolisms (rs7412, rs6511720, rs11591147, rs1412444, rs11172113, rs11057830, rs4299376), atherogenesis (rs7500448, rs6504218, rs3918226, rs7623687), shared cardiovascular pathways (rs72689147, rs1800449, rs7568458), diabetes-related pathways (rs200787930, rs12146487, rs6129767), hepatitis C virus infection/hepatocellular carcinoma (rs73045269/rs8108632, rs56062135, rs188378669, rs4845625, rs11838776), and miR-29b-3p pathways (rs116843064, rs11617955, rs146092501, rs11838776, rs73045269/rs8108632). In this meta-analysis, the identification of various genetic factors and their associated pathways associated with CHD denotes the complexity of the disease. This provides an opportunity for the future development of novel CHD genetic risk scores relevant to personalized and precision medicine.

Neurology 2022; 99:e1694-e1701. [PMID: 35985832 PMCID: PMC9620807 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000201009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/15/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Migraine has consistently been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. It remains, however, unclear to what extent cardiovascular risk profiles might be linked with migraine activity status and how these profiles relate to the development of migraine. METHODS We used data from a cohort study of female health professionals (Women's Health Study, n = 27,539, age ≥45 years at baseline) without a history of CVD or other major diseases and who provided a blood sample at baseline. Framingham risk scores (FRSs) estimating the 10-year risk of coronary heart disease calculated at baseline were used to create vascular risk categories. The presence or development of self-reported migraine was assessed by questionnaires. Women were classified as having no migraine, history of migraine (experienced migraine in the past but did not experience any migraine attacks in the year before enrollment), active migraine at baseline (active), or incident migraine (first report of migraine during follow-up but not at baseline). We used multinomial logistic regression models to calculate ORs for the association between FRS categories and migraine status. RESULTS Of the 27,539 participants, a total of 21,927 women did not report migraine, 1,500 women reported a history of migraine, 3,579 had migraine at baseline, and 533 reported migraine for the first time during follow-up. The odds of the probability of having a history of migraine at baseline (vs never migraine) was 76% higher among those with FRS ≥10% compared with FRS ≤1% after adjustment (OR = 1.76, 95% CI 1.39-2.23). In contrast, having FRS ≥10% was associated with reduced odds of having active migraine at baseline (OR = 0.64, 95% CI 0.52-0.80) and with newly reported migraine during follow-up (OR = 0.42, 95% CI 0.22-0.81) when compared with women with FRS category ≤1% and those not reporting migraine. A similar association pattern was observed for FRS categories 5%-9% and 2%-4%. DISCUSSION High FRS categories were only observed among women with a history of migraine but not with active migraine at baseline or incident migraine after baseline. Our results suggest that the life course of migraine should be considered when studying associations with the vascular system. Our data further suggest that a relatively healthy vascular system, as assessed by the FRS, is associated with active migraine status or developing migraine in the future.

Abstract
Pain is one of the most serious problems plaguing human health today. Pain is not an independent pathophysiological condition and is associated with a high impact on elevated disability and organ dysfunction. Several lines of evidence suggested the associations of pain with cardiovascular diseases, especially myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, while the role of pain in I/R injury and related mechanisms are not yet comprehensively assessed. In this review, we attempted to explore the role of pain in myocardial I/R injury, and we concluded that acute pain protects myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and chronic pain aggravates cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury. In addition, the construction of different pain models and animal models commonly used to study the role of pain in myocardial I/R injury were discussed in detail, and the potential mechanism of pain-related myocardial I/R injury was summarized. Finally, the future research direction was prospected. That is, the remote regulation of pain to cardiac function requires peripheral pain signals to be transmitted from the peripheral to the cardiac autonomic nervous system, which then affects autonomic innervation during cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury and finally affects the cardiac function.

Abstract
Phenome-wide association studies identified numerous loci associated with traits and diseases. To help interpret these associations, we constructed a phenome-wide network map of colocalized genes and phenotypes. We generated colocalized signals using the Genotype-Tissue Expression data and genome-wide association results in UK Biobank. We identified 9151 colocalized genes for 1411 phenotypes across 48 tissues. Then, we constructed bipartite networks using the colocalized signals in each tissue, and showed that the majority of links were observed in a single tissue. We applied the biLouvain clustering algorithm in each tissue-specific network to identify co-clusters of genes and phenotypes. We observed significant enrichments of these co-clusters with known biological and functional gene classes. Overall, the phenome-wide map provides links between genes, phenotypes and tissues, and can yield biological and clinical discoveries.

Abstract
Arsenic toxicity is a global concern to human health causing increased incidences of cancer, bronchopulmonary, and cardiovascular diseases. In human and mouse, inorganic arsenic (iAs) is metabolized in a series of methylation steps catalyzed by arsenic (3) methyltransferase (AS3MT), forming methylated arsenite (MAsIII), dimethylarsenite (DMAIII) and the volatile trimethylarsine (TMA). The methylation of arsenic is coordinated by four conserved cysteines proposed to participate in catalysis, namely C33, C62, C157, and C207 in mouse AS3MT. The current model consists of AS3MT methylating iAs in the presence of the cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), and the formation of intramolecular disulfide bonds following the reduction of MAsV to MAsIII. In the presence of endogenous reductants, these disulfide bonds are reduced, the enzyme re-generates, and the second round of methylation ensues. Using in vitro methylation assays, we find that AS3MT undergoes an initial automethylation step in the absence of iAs. This automethylation is enhanced by glutathione (GSH) and dithiothreitol (DTT), suggesting that reduced cysteines accept methyl groups from SAM to form S-methylcysteines. Following the addition of iAs, automethylation of AS3MT is decreased. Furthermore, using a Flag-AS3MT immunoprecipitation coupled to MS/MS, we identify both C33 and C62 as acceptors of the methyl group in vivo. Site-directed mutagenesis (C to A) revealed that three of the previously described cysteines were required for AS3MT automethylation. In vitro experiments show that automethylated AS3MT can methylate iAs in the presence of SAM. Thus, we propose that automethylated may represent an active conformation of AS3MT.

Abstract
Migraine is a common and often disabling disease with a prominent genetic basis. There are many comorbidities associated with migraine which have been identified as risk factors for progression to chronic migraine. Each of these has its own genetic load and shares some common characteristics with migraine. The identification of migraine comorbidities may help clarify common underlying genetic and biological mechanisms of diseases. The treatment of migraine should involve a multifaceted approach, aimed at identifying and reducing possible risk and comorbidity factors. This may prevent the evolution toward a chronic form and then toward pharmacological resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An increasing number of studies have shown an association between migraine and cardiovascular disease, in particular cardio- and cerebro-vascular events. METHODS Three electronic databases (PubMed, Embase and Scopus) were searched from inception to May 22, 2021 for prospective cohort studies evaluating the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular mortality in migraine patients. A random effects meta-analysis model was used to summarize the included studies. RESULTS A total of 18 prospective cohort studies were included consisting of 370,050 migraine patients and 1,387,539 controls. Migraine was associated with myocardial infarction (hazard ratio, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.23-1.51; p = < 0.001), unspecified stroke (hazard ratio, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.07-1.60; p = 0.01), ischemic stroke (hazard ratio, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.03-1.78; p = 0.03) and hemorrhagic stroke (hazard ratio, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.07-1.92; p = 0.02). Subgroup analysis of migraine with aura found a further increase in risk of myocardial infarction and both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, as well as improved substantial statistical heterogeneity. Migraine with aura was also associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality (hazard ratio, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.14-1.42; p = < 0.001). CONCLUSION Migraine, especially migraine with aura, is associated with myocardial infarction and stroke. Migraine with aura increases the risk of overall cardiovascular mortality.

Abstract
Background: Migraine is deemed a neurovascular disorder and there is growing evidence on the increased risk of cardiovascular disease, especially ischemic stroke, in patients with migraine. However the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and stroke in migraineurs and the association between migraineurs with or without aura is still under debate. Our study aimed to identify the risk of PAD and stroke in migraineurs with or without aura. Methods: This was a population-based cohort study utilizing Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID2010). Patients with coding of migraine from 2002 to 2011 were enrolled and those with established cardiovascular disease defined as myocardial infarction, stroke, PAD, venous thromboembolism, atrial fibrillation and heart failure diagnosis before the index date were excluded. Participants were categorized into migraine group, migraine without aura group, and migraine with aura group respectively. The subjects in the three groups were propensity score-matched randomly to their counterparts without migraine. The study outcome was PAD and stroke. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to estimate the hazard ratios with 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between migraine and the incident events of disease, after controlling for related variables. Results: The migraine, migraine without aura, and migraine with aura group included 5,173 patients, 942 patients and 479 patients respectively after propensity score-matching. The migraine group had an increased risk of PAD [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR): 1.93; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.45-2.57; p < 0.001] and stroke (aHR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.35-1.77; p < 0.001) compared to their non-migraine controls. Both the groups of migraine without aura and with aura had an increased risk of stroke (aHR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.11-2.00; p = 0.008; aHR: 1.63, 95% CI: 1.10-2.43; p = 0.016). With regards to the outcome of PAD, the group of migraine with aura had a trend of an increased risk but did not reach statistical significance (aHR: 1.95, 95% CI: 0.86-4.40; p = 0.108). Conclusion: Migraineurs without established cardiovascular disease had a significantly increased risk of PAD and stroke, and the risk of stroke persists in migraineurs with or without aura, with an increased trend of PAD in migraineurs with aura. Our study result should remind clinical physicians of the risk of PAD in the future among migraineurs even without established cardiovascular disease currently, and screening for PAD and stroke may be needed in caring patients with migraine.

Abstract
Epidemiological evidence suggests that the metabolic profiles of each individual exposed to arsenic (As) are related to the risk of cancer, coronary heart disease, and diabetes. The arsenite methyltransferase (AS3MT) gene plays a key role in As metabolism. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms in the AS3MT gene may affect both enzyme activity and gene transcription. AS3MT polymorphisms are associated with the proportions of monomethylarsenic acid (MMA) and dimethylarsenic acid (DMA) in urine as well as the incidence of cancer. P21 protein is a cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor. Mutations of the P21 gene have been found in cancer patients. In our study, we investigate whether polymorphisms of the AS3MT gene alter As methylation capacity and adversely affect the P21 gene in arsenic trioxide plant workers. The DNA damage was examined by the quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Restriction fragment length polymorphism was used to analyze the genotype of the AS3MT gene. The results showed that DNA damage in P21 gene fragments was greater in those individuals exposed to high levels of As. There was a strong positive correlation between the DNA damage to P21 gene fragments and the percentage of MMA in urine. However, DNA damage in P21 gene fragments was negatively associated with the percentage of DMA in urine (%uDMA), primary methylation index (PMI), and secondary methylation index. We found that subjects with the rs7085104 GG or GA allele were associated with higher %uDMA and PMI and less DNA damage. The subjects with the rs11191454 GG+GA or GA allele were also associated with higher %uDMA and PMI and less DNA damage. Our results suggest that rs1191454 and rs7085104 in the AS3MT gene affect the As-induced DNA damage by altering individual metabolic efficiency.

Abstract
Two-pore-domain potassium (K2P-) channels conduct outward K+ currents that maintain the resting membrane potential and modulate action potential repolarization. Members of the K2P channel family are widely expressed among different human cell types and organs where they were shown to regulate important physiological processes. Their functional activity is controlled by a broad variety of different stimuli, like pH level, temperature, and mechanical stress but also by the presence of lipids or pharmacological agents. In patients suffering from cardiovascular diseases, alterations in K2P-channel expression and function have been observed, suggesting functional significance and a potential therapeutic role of these ion channels. For example, upregulation of atrial specific K2P3.1 (TASK-1) currents in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients was shown to contribute to atrial action potential duration shortening, a key feature of AF-associated atrial electrical remodelling. Therefore, targeting K2P3.1 (TASK-1) channels might constitute an intriguing strategy for AF treatment. Further, mechanoactive K2P2.1 (TREK-1) currents have been implicated in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, cardiac fibrosis and heart failure. Cardiovascular expression of other K2P channels has been described, functional evidence in cardiac tissue however remains sparse. In the present review, expression, function, and regulation of cardiovascular K2P channels are summarized and compared among different species. Remodelling patterns, observed in disease models are discussed and compared to findings from clinical patients to assess the therapeutic potential of K2P channels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Calmodulin 1 (CALM1) mutations are involved in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the relationship of CALM1 rs3179089 polymorphism with CAD is unknown. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to identify the relationship of CALM1 rs3179089 polymorphism with CAD susceptibility, CALM1 expression, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood coagulation and serum lipid levels of CAD patients. METHODS 550 CAD patients and 550 control subjects were genotyped for CALM1 using Sequenom MassARRAY technology. CALM1 expression level was measured by quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). RESULTS CALM1 mRNA expression was higher in CAD patients than that in control subjects (P < 0.001). CAD patients with CC genotype had higher CALM1 mRNA expression level than control subjects with CC genotype (P = 0.006). Genotypic frequency of rs3179089 was different between male patients of CAD and control subjects (P = 0.045). Rs3179089 polymorphism was related to CAD risk of males in recessive model (P = 0.039). Moreover, rs3179089 polymorphism was associated with systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and D-Dimer (D-D) level of patients with CAD in recessive model (P = 0.013 for SBP; P = 0.034 for DBP; P = 0.004 for FPG; P = 0.046 for D-D). In addition, rs3179089 polymorphism was correlated with low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and total cholesterol (TC) serum levels of patients with CAD in both addictive (P = 0.025 for LDL-C; P = 0.001 for TC) and recessive models (P = 0.001 for LDL-C; P = 0.001 for TC). CONCLUSION CALM1 expression is associated with development of CAD. CALM1 rs3179089 polymorphism affects CAD susceptibility in males, and blood pressure, blood glucose, blood coagulation and serum lipid of CAD patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is a need to identify genetic factors that may produce coronary artery atherosclerotic disease (CAD) that are not involved in the usual risk factors leading to CAD. Previous studies have often equated coronary artery calcification (CAC) with CAD with coronary stenosis or its sequelae. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between phosphatase and actin regulator 1 (PHACTR1) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the type of coronary artery disease CAD versus CAC. METHOD A systematic review of the literature was conducted to answer the question of whether PHACTR1 gene polymorphisms are associated with coronary artery disease expressed as coronary artery atherosclerosis or CAC. RESULTS Eighteen studies spanning seven PHACTR1 SNPs were identified and evaluated for the relationship between PHACTR1 and coronary artery disease. There were significant relationships between rs9349379, rs12526453, and CAD with odds ratios (ORs) (confidence interval) of, respectively, 1.15 (1.13-1.17), 1.13 (1.09-1.17) but not for rs2026458, 1.03 (0.88-1.19). The OR for CAC was 1.22 (1.18-1.26) for rs9349379 and 1.28 (1.21-1.38) for rs12526453. CONCLUSIONS Several PHACTR1 specifically rs9349379 and rs12526453 polymorphisms but not rs2026458, are associated with CAD. There are differences in the association of PHACTR1 SNPs with CAC. PHACTR1 warrants more attention and study for the prevention and treatment of CAD.

Abstract
Migraine is three times more prevalent in people with bipolar disorder or depression. The relationship between schizophrenia and migraine is less certain although glutamatergic and serotonergic neurotransmission are implicated in both. A shared genetic basis to migraine and mental disorders has been suggested but previous studies have reported weak or non-significant genetic correlations and five shared risk loci. Using the largest samples to date and novel statistical tools, we aimed to determine the extent to which migraine’s polygenic architecture overlaps with bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia beyond genetic correlation, and to identify shared genetic loci. Summary statistics from genome-wide association studies were acquired from large-scale consortia for migraine (n cases = 59 674; n controls = 316 078), bipolar disorder (n cases = 20 352; n controls = 31 358), depression (n cases = 170 756; n controls = 328 443) and schizophrenia (n cases = 40 675, n controls = 64 643). We applied the bivariate causal mixture model to estimate the number of disorder-influencing variants shared between migraine and each mental disorder, and the conditional/conjunctional false discovery rate method to identify shared loci. Loci were functionally characterized to provide biological insights. Univariate MiXeR analysis revealed that migraine was substantially less polygenic (2.8 K disorder-influencing variants) compared to mental disorders (8100–12 300 disorder-influencing variants). Bivariate analysis estimated that 800 (SD = 300), 2100 (SD = 100) and 2300 (SD = 300) variants were shared between bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia, respectively. There was also extensive overlap with intelligence (1800, SD = 300) and educational attainment (2100, SD = 300) but not height (1000, SD = 100). We next identified 14 loci jointly associated with migraine and depression and 36 loci jointly associated with migraine and schizophrenia, with evidence of consistent genetic effects in independent samples. No loci were associated with migraine and bipolar disorder. Functional annotation mapped 37 and 298 genes to migraine and each of depression and schizophrenia, respectively, including several novel putative migraine genes such as L3MBTL2, CACNB2 and SLC9B1. Gene-set analysis identified several putative gene sets enriched with mapped genes including transmembrane transport in migraine and schizophrenia. Most migraine-influencing variants were predicted to influence depression and schizophrenia, although a minority of mental disorder-influencing variants were shared with migraine due to the difference in polygenicity. Similar overlap with other brain-related phenotypes suggests this represents a pool of ‘pleiotropic’ variants that influence vulnerability to diverse brain-related disorders and traits. We also identified specific loci shared between migraine and each of depression and schizophrenia, implicating shared molecular mechanisms and highlighting candidate migraine genes for experimental validation.

Abstract
Background Migraine is a common neurological disorder with significant morbidity and disability. There is growing evidence that migraine is associated with cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Objective The aim of this study was to provide an update on the association of migraine with some common vascular diseases in persons suffering from the disease and discuss the clinical implications. Methods and Materials We searched PUBMED database using the MeSH terms "Stroke", "Coronary Artery Disease", "Myocardial Ischemia", "Atrial Fibrillation", "White Matter" and "Dementia, Vascular", in combination with "Migraine Disorders", "Migraine with Aura" and "Migraine without Aura" and reviewed the relevant studies. We studied articles mostly in English for the past 10 years, without excluding older articles that were relevant to this review. We also searched the reference lists of articles obtained and included some insightful reviews on 'Migraine and Vascular Risk'. Results The association between migraine and vascular diseases is strong and consistent for ischemic stroke and migraine with aura especially in young women, with oral contraceptive use and smoking. Although literature reports a higher prevalence of obesity, dyslipidemia, and family history of cardiovascular diseases in migraineurs, the 'migraine-vascular' connection persists in models where the traditional vascular risk factors are adjusted, implicating a migraine-specific pathophysiology at work. There is some evidence linking an adverse vascular risk factor profile to incident myocardial infarction in people with migraine. The association with hemorrhagic stroke is more variable. Conclusion Although the absolute effect of migraine on 'vascular risks' is small, good practice parameters dwell on treating and reducing existing cardiovascular risk factors through lifestyle modification, encouraging smoking cessation, and advocating the wise use of agents like ergot alkaloids and oral contraceptives, after a risk-benefit analysis.

Abstract
AIMS With the introduction of widespread pain (WSP) as a separate diagnostic code in the ICD-11, WSP has now become an own clinical diagnosis independent of the underlying pathophysiology. Research has reported aetiological associations of WSP and cardiovascular diseases. However, studies on mortality risk in individuals with WSP have reported inconsistent results. This study investigates whether there is increased mortality in WSP individuals and establish potential determinants of mortality risk. Therefore, we evaluates the population-based prospective cohort of the Framingham Heart Study (FHS). METHODS AND RESULTS The FHS is a longitudinal multi-generational study. Pain status was assessed uniquely between 1990 and 1994. Cox proportional hazards modelling was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) of WSP on all-cause mortality controlling for sex and age, cardiovascular risk factors, cancer history, lifestyle factors and current medication. WSP examination was carried out in 4746 participants of the FHS (60.3 ± 13.5 years, 55.1% women). A total of 678 (14.5%) subjects fulfilled the criteria for WSP, whereas 4011 (85.5%) subjects did not. The follow-up time was 15 years, during which 202 persons died in the WSP group and 1144 in the no-WSP group. When adjusting for age and sex, all-cause mortality was increased by about 16% in WSP subjects. Individuals with WSP had an increased HR particularly for cardiovascular cause of death (HR adjusted by age and sex = 1.46, 95% confidence interval 1.10-1.94). CONCLUSION Our data show that in a large population-based cohort, WSP is associated with increased HR for cardiovascular cause of death, underlining the need for pain assessments in cardiovascular practice.

Abstract
Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a recognized environment-related factor for bladder cancer (BCa). Arsenic (+3 oxidation state) methyltransferase (AS3MT) gene might influence BCa by regulating iAs metabolism. The aim of the present study was to explore whether AS3MT polymorphisms could affect BCa susceptibility. We systematically reviewed eligible case-control studies about AS3MT polymorphisms and BCa and to further compare the genotype distribution and allele distribution between BCa patients and controls by meta-analysis for humans. Besides, to clarify the effects of AS3MT expression on BCa clinical outcomes and survival time, we also conducted a series of analyses based on The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset. Databases were systematically retrieved and we applied Stata software to perform meta-analysis. The registration of this study protocol is at PROSPERO and ID is CRD42019133947. Five articles were recruited and pooled results demonstrated that rs3740393 and rs11191438 polymorphisms were related to BCa risk in overall population (p < .05) in the overall population. In addition, GG and GC genotypes in rs3740393 and GG genotype in rs11191438 might be the susceptibility genotypes for BCa. Results based on 168 BCa samples from TGCA indicated that patients with higher expression of AS3MT had poor overall survival time and AS3MT expression is an independent indicator for BCa survival. This study identified that AS3MT polymorphisms could affect BCa risk and AS3MT expression was pivotal in prognosis of BCa.

Associations between PHACTR1 gene polymorphisms and pulse pressure in Chinese Han population. Biosci Rep 2020; 40:224380. [PMID: 32420588 PMCID: PMC7276519 DOI: 10.1042/bsr20193779] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2019] [Revised: 05/12/2020] [Accepted: 05/15/2020] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) in Chinese twins was performed to explore associations between genes and pulse pressure (PP) in 2012, and detected a suggestive association in the phosphatase and actin regulator 1 (PHACTR1) gene on chromosome 6p24.1 (rs1223397, P=1.04e−07). The purpose of the present study was to investigate associations of PHACTR1 gene polymorphisms with PP in a Chinese population. We recruited 347 subjects with PP ≥ 65 mmHg as cases and 359 subjects with 30 ≤ PP ≤ 45 mmHg as controls. Seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the PHACTR1 gene were genotyped. Logistic regression was performed to explore associations between SNPs and PP in codominant, additive, dominant, recessive and overdominant models. The Pearson’s χ2 test was applied to assess the relationships of haplotypes and PP. The A allele of rs9349379 had a positive effect on high PP. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that rs9349379 was significantly related to high PP in codominant [AA vs GG, 2.255 (1.132–4.492)], additive [GG vs GA vs AA, 1.368 (1.049–1.783)] and recessive [AA vs GA + GG, 2.062 (1.051–4.045)] models. The positive association between rs499818 and high PP was significant in codominant [AA vs GG, 3.483 (1.044–11.613)] and recessive [AA vs GG + GA, 3.716 (1.119–12.339)] models. No significant association of haplotypes with PP was detected. There was no significant interaction between six SNPs without strong linkage. In conclusion, the present study presents that rs9349379 and rs499818 in the PHACTR1 gene were significantly associated with PP in Chinese population. Future research should be conducted to confirm them.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Migraine with aura is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The absolute contribution of migraine with aura to CVD incidence in relation to other CVD risk factors remains unclear. OBJECTIVE To estimate the CVD incidence rate for women with migraine with aura relative to women with other major vascular risk factors. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Female health professionals in the US (the Women's Health Study cohort) with lipid measurements and no CVD at baseline (1992-1995) were followed up through December 31, 2018. EXPOSURES Self-reported migraine with aura compared with migraine without aura or no migraine at baseline. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome was major CVD (first myocardial infarction, stroke, or CVD death). Generalized modeling procedures were used to calculate multivariable-adjusted incidence rates for major CVD events by risk factor status that included all women in the cohort. RESULTS The study population included 27 858 women (mean [SD] age at baseline, 54.7 [7.1] years), among whom 1435 (5.2%) had migraine with aura and 26 423 (94.8%) did not (2177 [7.8%] had migraine without aura and 24 246 [87.0%] had no migraine in the year prior to baseline). During a mean follow-up of 22.6 years (629 353 person-years), 1666 major CVD events occurred. The adjusted incidence rate of major CVD per 1000 person-years was 3.36 (95% CI, 2.72-3.99) for women with migraine with aura vs 2.11 (95% CI, 1.98-2.24) for women with migraine without aura or no migraine (P < .001). The incidence rate for women with migraine with aura was significantly higher than the adjusted incidence rate among women with obesity (2.29 [95% CI, 2.02-2.56]), high triglycerides (2.67 [95% CI, 2.38-2.95]), or low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (2.63 [95% CI, 2.33-2.94]), but was not significantly different from the rates among those with elevated systolic blood pressure (3.78 [95% CI, 2.76-4.81]), high total cholesterol (2.85 [95% CI, 2.38-3.32]), or family history of myocardial infarction (2.71 [95% CI, 2.38-3.05]). Incidence rates among women with diabetes (5.76 [95% CI, 4.68-6.84]) or who currently smoked (4.29 [95% CI, 3.79-4.79]) were significantly higher than those with migraine with aura. The incremental increase in the incidence rate for migraine with aura ranged from 1.01 additional cases per 1000 person-years when added to obesity to 2.57 additional cases per 1000 person-years when added to diabetes. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE In this study of female health professionals aged at least 45 years, women with migraine with aura had a higher adjusted incidence rate of CVD compared with women with migraine without aura or no migraine. The clinical importance of these findings, and whether they are generalizable beyond this study population, require further research.

Abstract
Migraine and stroke are two common and heterogeneous neurovascular disorders responsible for a significant burden for those affected and a great economic cost for the society. There is growing evidence that migraine increases the overall risk of cerebrovascular diseases. In this review, based on available literature through a PubMed search, we found that ischaemic stroke in people with migraine is strongly associated with migraine with aura, young age, female sex, use of oral contraceptives and smoking habits. The risk of transient ischaemic attack also seems to be increased in people with migraine, although this issue has not been extensively investigated. Although migraine appears to be associated with haemorrhagic stroke, the migraine aura status has a small influence on this relationship. Neuroimaging studies have revealed a higher prevalence of asymptomatic structural brain lesions in people with migraine. They are also more likely to have unfavourable vascular risk factors; however, the increased risk of stroke seems to be more apparent among people with migraine without traditional risk factors. The mechanism behind the migraine-stroke association is unknown. In light of the higher risk of stroke in people with migraine with aura, it is important to identify and modify any vascular risk factor. There is currently no direct evidence to support that a migraine prophylactic treatment can reduce future stroke in people with migraine.

Genetic Risk Score for Coronary Disease Identifies Predispositions to Cardiovascular and Noncardiovascular Diseases. J Am Coll Cardiol 2020; 73:2932-2942. [PMID: 31196449 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2019.03.512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 49] [Impact Index Per Article: 12.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2018] [Revised: 03/08/2019] [Accepted: 03/19/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The taxonomy of cardiovascular (CV) diseases is divided into a broad spectrum of clinical entities. Many such diseases coincide in specific patient groups and suggest shared predisposition. OBJECTIVES This study focused on coronary artery disease (CAD) and investigated the genetic relationship to CV and non-CV diseases with reported CAD comorbidity. METHODS This study examined 425,196 UK Biobank participants to determine a genetic risk score (GRS) based on 300 CAD associated variants (CAD-GRS). This score was associated with 22 traits, including risk factors, diseases secondary to CAD, as well as comorbid and non-CV conditions. Sensitivity analyses were performed in individuals free from CAD or stable angina diagnosis. RESULTS Hypercholesterolemia (odds ratio [OR]: 1.27; 95% CI: 1.26 to 1.29) and hypertension (OR: 1.11; 95% CI: 1.10 to 1.12) were strongly associated with the CAD-GRS, which indicated that the score contained variants predisposing to these conditions. However, the CAD-GRS was also significant in patients with CAD who were free of CAD risk factors (OR: 1.37; 95% CI: 1.30 to 1.44). The study observed significant associations between the CAD-GRS and peripheral arterial disease (OR: 1.28; 95% CI: 1.23 to 1.32), abdominal aortic aneurysms (OR: 1.28; 95% CI: 1.20 to 1.37), and stroke (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.10), which remained significant in sensitivity analyses that suggested shared genetic predisposition. The score was also associated with heart failure (OR: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.22 to 1.29), atrial fibrillation (OR: 1.08; 95% CI: 1.05 to 1.10), and premature death (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 1.02 to 1.06). These associations were abolished in sensitivity analyses that indicated that they were secondary to prevalent CAD. Finally, an inverse association was observed between the score and migraine headaches (OR: 0.94; 95% CI: 0.93 to 0.96). CONCLUSIONS A wide spectrum of CV conditions, including premature death, might develop consecutively or in parallel with CAD for the same genetic roots. In conditions like heart failure, the study found evidence that the CAD-GRS could be used to stratify patients with no or limited genetic overlap with CAD risk. Increased genetic predisposition to CAD was inversely associated with migraine headaches.

Exploiting horizontal pleiotropy to search for causal pathways within a Mendelian randomization framework. Nat Commun 2020; 11:1010.

Abstract
In Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, variants that exert horizontal pleiotropy are typically treated as a nuisance. However, they could be valuable in identifying alternative pathways to the traits under investigation. Here, we develop MR-TRYX, a framework that exploits horizontal pleiotropy to discover putative risk factors for disease. We begin by detecting outliers in a single exposure-outcome MR analysis, hypothesising they are due to horizontal pleiotropy. We search across hundreds of complete GWAS summary datasets to systematically identify other (candidate) traits that associate with the outliers. We develop a multi-trait pleiotropy model of the heterogeneity in the exposure-outcome analysis due to pathways through candidate traits. Through detailed investigation of several causal relationships, many pleiotropic pathways are uncovered with already established causal effects, validating the approach, but also alternative putative causal pathways. Adjustment for pleiotropic pathways reduces the heterogeneity across the analyses.

Abstract
Objective Numerous genetic variants from meta-analyses of observational studies and GWAS were reported to be associated with migraine susceptibility. However, due to the random errors in meta-analyses, the noteworthiness of the results showing statistically significant remains doubtful. Thus, we performed this field synopsis and re-analysis study to evaluate the noteworthiness using a Bayesian approach in hope of finding true associations. Methods Relevant meta-analyses from observational studies and GWAS examining correlation between all genetic variants and migraine risk were included in our study by a PubMed search. Identification of noteworthy associations were analyzed by false-positive rate probability (FPRP) and Bayesian false discovery probability (BFDP). Using noteworthy variants, GO enrichment analysis were conducted through DAVID online tool. Then, the PPI network and hub genes were performed using STRING database and CytoHubba software. Results As for 8 significant genetic variants from observational studies, none of which showed noteworthy at prior probability of 0.001. Out of 47 significant genetic variants in GWAS, 36 were noteworthy at prior probability of 0.000001 via FPRP or BFDP. We further found the pathways “positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration” and “inositol phosphate-mediated signaling” and hub genes including MEF2D, TSPAN2, PHACTR1, TRPM8 and PRDM16 related to migraine susceptibility. Conclusion Herein, we have identified several noteworthy variants for migraine susceptibility in this field synopsis. We hope these data would help identify novel genetic biomarkers and potential therapeutic target for migraine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Observational studies have implicated migraine as a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation (AF); however, it is unclear whether migraine is causal in this relationship. Potential causality between genetically instrumented liability to migraine and cardiovascular disease outcomes was investigated using two-sample Mendelian randomization. METHODS The exposure comprised 35 independent, genome-wide significant genetic variants identified in the largest published genome-wide association study of migraine (Ncases = 59 674/Ncontrols = 316 078). The outcome datasets included genome-wide association studies of CAD (76 014/264 785), myocardial infarction (43 676/128 199), angina (10 618/326 065) and AF (60 620/970 216). Mendelian randomization estimates were calculated using inverse-variance weighted regression, and were further assessed with conventional Mendelian randomization sensitivity analyses. RESULTS Evidence was found for a protective effect of migraine liability on CAD (odds ratio 0.86, 95% confidence interval 0.76-0.96, P = 0.003), myocardial infarction (0.86, 0.74-0.96, P = 0.01) and angina (0.86, 0.75-0.99, P = 0.04), but not on AF (1.00, 0.95-1.05, P = 0.88). Analyses by migraine subtype showed an effect of liability to migraine without aura on CAD risk (0.91, 0.84-0.99, P = 0.014), but not of migraine with aura (1.00, 0.97-1.03, P = 0.89). Sensitivity analyses indicated minimal bias by horizontal pleiotropy, outliers, reverse causality or sample overlap. CONCLUSIONS A potentially protective effect of genetically instrumented liability to migraine on CAD risk was identified. Mechanistic research investigating this link is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES 1. Describe the epidemiology of vestibular migraine (VM) in the United States, using data from the 2008 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). 2. Characterize the sociodemographic and clinical attributes of people with VM. STUDY DESIGN Population-based nationwide survey study of US adults. PATIENTS Adult respondents to the 2008 NHIS. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The responses of participants in the 2008 NHIS balance and dizziness supplement (n = 21,781) were analyzed using statistical software. A case definition for VM was generated based on consensus criteria for diagnosis, and this was applied to the dataset to ascertain the prevalence, demographic, and clinical characteristics of VM. RESULTS The 1-year prevalence of a dizziness or balance problem in the United States was 11.9% (2,490 respondents). Of respondents with dizziness, 584 (23.4%) met our case definition of VM, which represents a prevalence of VM in 2.7% of adults. There was a female preponderance (64.1%) and a slightly younger mean age (40.9 yr) for those with VM as compared with all respondents (51.7% females and 46.0 yr, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed that age less than 40, female sex, anxiety, depression, and prior head trauma were all associated with significantly increased odds of experiencing VM. Only 10% of subjects meeting criteria for VM were told that migraine was the cause of their dizziness. CONCLUSION Using a representative database, we found a much higher prevalence of VM in the United States than previously reported. Results from this study indicate likely under-diagnosis of VM.

Abstract
Many new studies have shown an association between migraine and ischemic heart disease, and the association seems to be multi-factorial. This article reviews what is already known about this linkage and further investigates if migraine is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The literature search for this article was performed primarily using PubMed as the search engine. Only those articles that assessed migraine as exposure and cardiovascular events as outcomes were included. Also, articles only from the last five years with full-text and human studies were reviewed. Based on our investigation and as indicated by previous studies, migraine headache is associated with different kinds of cardiovascular events. Healthcare providers need to be aware of this association so that they can assess and manage their migraine patients better.

Abstract
In recent years, genome-wide association study (GWAS) sample sizes have become larger, the statistical power has improved and thousands of trait-associated variants have been uncovered, offering new insights into the genetic etiology of complex human traits and disorders. However, a large fraction of the polygenic architecture underlying most complex phenotypes still remains undetected. We here review the conditional false discovery rate (condFDR) method, a model-free strategy for analysis of GWAS summary data, which has improved yield of existing GWAS and provided novel findings of genetic overlap between a wide range of complex human phenotypes, including psychiatric, cardiovascular, and neurological disorders, as well as psychological and cognitive traits. The condFDR method was inspired by Empirical Bayes approaches and leverages auxiliary genetic information to improve statistical power for discovery of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The cross-trait condFDR strategy analyses separate GWAS data, and leverages overlapping SNP associations, i.e., cross-trait enrichment, to increase discovery of trait-associated SNPs. The extension of the condFDR approach to conjunctional FDR (conjFDR) identifies shared genomic loci between two phenotypes. The conjFDR approach allows for detection of shared genomic associations irrespective of the genetic correlation between the phenotypes, often revealing a mixture of antagonistic and agonistic directional effects among the shared loci. This review provides a methodological comparison between condFDR and other relevant cross-trait analytical tools and demonstrates how condFDR analysis may provide novel insights into the genetic relationship between complex phenotypes.

Abstract
The approximately three times higher rate of migraine prevalence in women than men may result from the mitochondrial transmission of this disease. Studies with imaging techniques suggest disturbances in mitochondrial metabolism in specific regions of the brain in migraine patients. Migraine shares some clinical features with several mitochondrial diseases and many other disorders include migraine headaches. Epigenetic regulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a matter of debate and there are some conflicting results, especially on mtDNA methylation. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) and long-noncoding RNA (lncRNAs) have been detected in mitochondria. The regulation of the miRNA-lncRNA axis can be important for mitochondrial physiology and its impairment can result in a disease phenotype. Further studies on the role of mitochondrial epigenetic modifications in migraine are needed, but they require new methods and approaches.

[PMID: 30293016 DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2018.08.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2018] [Revised: 08/06/2018] [Accepted: 08/29/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Genome-wide association studies have showed that genetic variants in phosphatase and actin regulator 1 (PHACTR1) are associated with coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. However, the underlying mechanism of PHACTR1 in atherosclerosis remains unknown. METHODS Immunoblots were performed to evaluate the expression of PHACTR1 and phosphorylation of NF-κB signaling. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) labeled with DCFH-DA were assessed by flow cytometry. Fluorescence microscope was used to detect the translocation of p65 in human coronary artery endothelial cells (HACECs). Co-immunoprecipitation was performed to determine the interaction of PHACTR1 with MRTF-A. RESULTS The mRNA and protein levels of PHACTR1 were markedly increased in carotid plaquescompared with normal carotid arteries. Immunofluorescence staining indicated that PHACTR1 was constitutively expressed in endothelial cells in carotid plaques. Knockdown of PHACTR1 reduced excessive ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and VE-cadherin expression induced by oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) in HCAECs. Additionally, silencing PHACTR1 alleviated p47phox phosphorylation and intracellular oxidative stress reflected by the reduction of ROS. Molecular experiments revealed that knockdown of PHACTR1 attenuated NF-κB activity without affecting IκBα and IKKα/β phosphorylation. In contrast, nuclear translation of p65 was blocked by depletion of PHACTR1. Furthermore, co-immunoprecipitation showed that PHACTR1 interacted with MRTF-A and p65 in HCAECs. Knockdown of MRTF-A suppressed the interaction of PHACTR1 with p65, subsequently blocking the nuclear translocation of p65. CONCLUSIONS Our finding suggest that silencing PHACTR1 alleviates the nuclear accumulation of p65 and NF-κB via interaction with MRTF-A, ensuing attenuating oxidative stress and inflammation in HCAECs.
