Abstract
OBJECTIVES The risk of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) development and rupture is significantly higher in patients with periodontitis (PD), suggesting an association between the two. However, the specific mechanisms of association between these two diseases have not been fully investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, we downloaded IAs and PD data from the Gene Expression Omnibus. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, and functional enrichment analysis was performed. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was performed to identified key modules and key crosstalk genes. In addition, the immune cell landscape was assessed and the correlation of key crosstalk genes with each immune cell was calculated. Finally, transcription factors (TFs) regulating key crosstalk genes were explored. RESULTS 127 overlapping DEGs were identified and functional enrichment analysis highlighted the important role of immune reflection in the pathogenesis of IAs and PD. We identified ITGAX and COL4A2 as key crosstalk genes. In addition, the expression of multiple immune cells was significantly elevated in PDs and IAs compared to controls, and both key crosstalk genes were significantly negatively associated with Macrophages M2. Finally, GATA2 was identified as a potential key transcription factor (TF), which regulates two key crosstalk gene. CONCLUSIONS The present study identifies key crosstalk genes and TF in PD and IAs, providing new insights for further study of the co-pathogenesis of PD and IAs from an immune and inflammatory perspective. Also, this is the first study to report the above findings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND LncRNAs, miRNAs, and the sponge effect between them exert diverse biological influences on the pathogenesis and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), thus necessitating an exploration of the lncRNA-miRNA-gene regulatory network in CAD. METHODS Expression profile GSE98583 was obtained from NCBI, containing the data of 12 CAD patients and 6 controls. Limma package was utilized to determine the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional enrichment analysis was performed by DAVID. The CAD-related miRNA-DEG associations were retrieved via HMDD and miRTarBase, and the CAD-related lncRNA-miRNA associations were retrieved via LncRNADisease and starBase. The CAD-related lncRNA-miRNA-DEG regulatory network was constructed by combining these associations. The dual luciferase test was carried out to validate the connections among lncRNA, miRNA, and gene. RESULTS Overall, 534 DEGs were identified between CAD samples and controls, including 243 up-regulated and 291 down-regulated, and were enriched in various gene ontology biological processes and KEGG pathways. The CAD-related miRNAs targeting DEGs included hsa-miR-206, has-miR-320b, has-miR-4513, has-miR-765, and has-miR-92a-3p, and hsa-miR-92a-3p regulated the most DEGs. In the lncRNA-miRNA associations, only CDKN2B-AS1 regulated the CAD-related miRNA, hsa-miR-92a-3p, which was validated using the dual luciferase test. CONCLUSIONS CDKN2B-AS1 may act as an hsa-miR-92a-3p sponge to regulate the downstream DEGs in CAD. CDKN2B-AS1/ hsa-miR-92a-3p/GATA2 might be a novel mechanism for CAD.

Modifiable and Non-Modifiable Risk Factors for Premature Coronary Heart Disease (PCHD): Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Heart Lung Circ 2024; 33:265-280. [PMID: 38365496 DOI: 10.1016/j.hlc.2023.12.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2023] [Revised: 12/01/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 02/18/2024]
Abstract
AIM We aimed to compare the prevalence of modifiable and non-modifiable coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors among those with premature CHD and healthy individuals. METHODS PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched (review protocol is registered in PROSPERO CRD42020173216). The quality of studies was assessed using the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute tool for cross-sectional, cohort and case-control studies. Meta-analyses were performed using Review Manager 5.3. Effect sizes for categorical and continuous variables, odds ratio (OR) and mean differences (MD)/standardised mean differences (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported. RESULTS A total of n=208 primary studies were included in this review. Individuals presenting with premature CHD (PCHD, age ≤65 years) had higher mean body mass index (MD 0.54 kg/m2, 95% CI 0.24, 0.83), total cholesterol (SMD 0.27, 95% CI 0.17, 0.38), triglycerides (SMD 0.50, 95% CI 0.41, 0.60) and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (SMD 0.79, 95% CI: -0.91, -0.68) compared with healthy individuals. Individuals presenting with PCHD were more likely to be smokers (OR 2.88, 95% CI 2.51, 3.31), consumed excessive alcohol (OR 1.40, 95% CI 1.05, 1.86), had higher mean lipoprotein (a) levels (SMD 0.41, 95% CI 0.28, 0.54), and had a positive family history of CHD (OR 3.65, 95% CI 2.87, 4.66) compared with healthy individuals. Also, they were more likely to be obese (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.32, 1.91), and to have had dyslipidaemia (OR 2.74, 95% CI 2.18, 3.45), hypertension (OR 2.80, 95% CI 2.28, 3.45), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (OR 2.93, 95% CI 2.50, 3.45) compared with healthy individuals. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis confirms current knowledge of risk factors for PCHD, and identifying these early may reduce CHD in young adults.

Abstract
The first genome-wide association study on coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Han Chinese population identified C6orf105 as a susceptibility gene. The C6orf105 gene was later found to encode for a protein that regulates tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) expression in endothelial cells in an androgen-dependent manner, and the novel protein was thus termed androgen-dependent TFPI-regulating protein (ADTRP). Since the identification of ADTRP, there have been several studies associating genetic variants on the ADTRP gene with CAD risk, as well as research providing mechanistic insights on this novel protein and its functional role. ADTRP is a membrane protein, whose expression is upregulated by androgen, GATA-binding protein 2, oxidized low-density lipoprotein, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors, and low-density lipoprotein receptors. ADTRP regulates multiple downstream targets involved in coagulation, inflammation, endothelial function, and vascular integrity. In addition, ADTRP functions as a fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acid (FAHFA)-specific hydrolase that is involved in energy metabolism. Current evidence suggests that ADTRP may play a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, CAD, obesity, and metabolic disorders. This review summarizes the current literature on ADTRP, with a focus on the peripheral actions of ADTRP, including expression, genetic variations, signaling pathways, and function. The evidence linking ADTRP and cardiometabolic diseases will also be discussed.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a frequent outcome of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the key factor contributing to worldwide disability and death. Genetic factors contribute to the pathogenesis of CAD/MI, and SNP rs6903956 in the ADTRP gene was first found associated with CAD/MI in the Chinese Han population, which was successfully replicated in other cohorts. However, whether rs6903956 is a functional SNP and its risk mechanism to CAD/MI remains unknown. The ADTRP gene-encoded androgen-dependent TFPI regulating protein regulates vascular endothelial cell function, endothelial-monocyte adhesion, and thrombosis. The allele A of rs6903956, in particular, is associated with lower ADTRP mRNA levels in lymphocytes. In the current study, we found that SNP rs6903956 exhibits allelic differences in transcriptional activity by interacting with GATA2. Also, the A allele conferred a greater risk of CAD and MI, lowered transcriptional activity, and GATA2 binding ability as compared to the G allele. Our findings provide details on how rs6903956 regulates the expression of ADTRP and may provide novel insights into CAD pathology and susceptibility.
