Abaj F, Saeedy SAG, Mirzaei K. Mediation role of body fat distribution (FD) on the relationship between CAV1 rs3807992 polymorphism and metabolic syndrome in overweight and obese women. BMC Med Genomics 2021; 14:202. [PMID: 34384444 PMCID: PMC8359537 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-021-01050-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 08/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality in almost all chronic diseases. The most frequent methods for the calculation of a continuous MetS (cMetS) score have used the standardized residuals in linear regression (z-score). Recently, emerging data suggest that one of the main genetic targets is the CAV1, which plays a crucial role in regulating body fat distribution. This study is designed to investigate the relationship between CAV1 rs3807992 genotypes and cMetS, and to determine whether body fat distribution plays a mediating role in this regard. Methods The current cross-sectional study was conducted on 386 overweight and obese females. The CAV1 rs3807992 and body composition were measured by the PCR–RFLP method and bioelectrical impedance analysis, respectively. Serum profile of HDL-C, TGs, FPG, and Insulin were measured by standard protocols. Results GG allele carriers had significantly lowered Z-MAP (p = 0.02), total cMetS (p = 0.03) and higher Z-HDL (p = 0.001) compared with (A) allele carriers. There was a significant specific indirect effect (standardized coefficient = 0.19; 95% CI 0.01–0.4) of Visceral fat level (VFL). Although, total body fat was significantly associated with CAV1 rs3807992 and cMetS, the specific indirect effect was not significant (standardized coefficient = 0.21; 95% CI − 0.006, 0.44). VFL contributed to significant indirect effects of 35% on the relationship between CAV1 and cMetS. Conclusion Higher visceral adipose tissue may affect the relationship between CAV1 and cMetS. Although CAV1 rs3807992 is linked to VFL in our study, the influence of this polymorphism on MetS is not via total fat.

Caveolin-1 (CAV-1) up regulation in metabolic syndrome: all roads leading to the same end. Mol Biol Rep 2020; 47:9245-9250.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a set of clinical conditions such as insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), dyslipidemia, obesity and high abdominal circumference. Some of these clinical characteristics have been associated with caveolin-1, a caveolae structural protein, responsible for insulin activation, storage and degradation of cholesterol, and so on. Herein we assessed CAV-1 mRNA levels in MS patients comparing to healthy controls (HC) and according patients' clinical features. We included 87 patients in the study, 25 patients with MS, 30 patients with at least one clinical condition (diabetes, SAH, dyslipidemia, obesity and high abdominal circumference), 13 with two clinical conditions and 19 HC. CAV-1 mRNA levels from peripheral blood samples were assessed by Real Time qPCR using specific Taqman probe. The analysis was performed using ∆Cq method and the statistical tests Shapiro-Wilk, One-Way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney. We found CAV-1 increased mRNA levels in patients with MS (1.645 FC, p = 9.794 × 10-20) and even higher in patients with only one or two clinical conditions (2.215 FC, p = 1.215 × 10-32 and 1.716 FC, p = 4.197 × 10-05, respectively). When individual clinical conditions were observed, individuals with high abdominal circumference and obesity present a significantly up regulation when compared to HC (2.956 FC, p = 0.0004 and 3.643 FC, p = 0.002, respectively). This work indicates that CAV-1 gene expression from whole blood samples is associated to MS clinical conditions and may become a potential target for MS treatment and prevention.

Abstract
Caveolae are membrane microdomains described in many cell types involved in endocytocis, transcytosis, cell signaling, mechanotransduction, and aging. They are found at the interface with the extracellular environment and are structured by caveolin and cavin proteins. Caveolae and caveolins mediate transduction of chemical messages via signaling pathways, as well as non-chemical messages, such as stretching or shear stress. Various pathogens or signals can hijack these gates, leading to infectious, oncogenic and even caveolin-related diseases named caveolinopathies. By contrast, preclinical and clinical research have fallen behind in their attempts to hijack caveolae and caveolins for therapeutic purposes. Caveolae involvement in human disease is not yet fully explored or understood and, of all their scaffold proteins, only caveolin-1 is being considered in clinical trials as a possible biomarker of disease. This review briefly summarizes current knowledge about caveolae cell signaling and raises the hypothesis whether these microdomains could serve as hijackable “gatekeepers” or “gateways” in cell communication. Furthermore, because cell signaling is one of the most dynamic domains in translating data from basic to clinical research, we pay special attention to translation of caveolae, caveolin, and cavin research into clinical practice.

Abstract
The plasma membrane is an important cellular organelle that is often overlooked in terms of a primary factor in regulating physiology and pathophysiology. There is emerging evidence to suggest that the plasma membrane serves a greater purpose than a simple barrier or transporter of ions. New paradigms suggest that the membrane serves as a critical bridge to connect extracellular to intracellular communication particularly to regulate energy and metabolism by forming physical and biochemical associations with intracellular organelles. This review will focus on the relationship of a particular membrane microdomain - caveolae - with mitochondria and the particular implication of this to physiology and pathophysiology.

Abstract
Background: The caveolin 1 (CAV1) gene has been associated with metabolic traits in animal models and human cohorts. Recently, a prevalent variant in CAV1 has been found to be related to metabolic syndrome in Hispanics living in North America. Since Hispanics represent an admixed population at high risk for cardiovascular diseases, in this study a Latin American population with a similar genetic background was assessed. Objective: To analyze a genetic association between CAV1 and metabolic traits in an admixed Latin American population. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with adults from the Colombian Caribbean Coast, selected in urban clusters and work places through a stratified sampling to include diverse ages and socioeconomic groups. Blood pressure and waist circumference were registered. Serum concentrations of glucose, triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were measured from an 8-hr fasting whole-blood sample. Two previously analyzed CAV1 single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped (rs926198 and rs11773845). A logistic regression model was applied to estimate the associations. An admixture adjustment was performed through a Bayesian model. Results: A total of 605 subjects were included. rs11773845 was associated with hypertriglyceridemia [odds ratio (OR) = 1.33, p = 0.001] and the metabolic syndrome (OR = 1.53, p = 0.02). When admixture adjustment was performed these genetic associations preserved their statistical significance. There were no significant associations between rs926198 and metabolic traits. Conclusions: The CAV1 variation rs11773845 was found to be consistently associated with high serum triglycerides and the metabolic syndrome. This is the first report of a relationship between CAV1 variants and serum triglycerides in Latin America.
