Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the association of lysine methyltransferase 2 C (MLL3) and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling-related gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility of Stanford type B aortic dissection (AD) and its clinical prognostic outcomes. The methods involved investigating the MLL3 (rs10244604, rs6963460, rs1137721), TGFβ1 (rs1800469), TGFβ2 (rs900), TGFR1 (rs1626340) and TGFR2 (rs4522809) gene polymorphisms. Logistic regression was performed to investigate the association between 7 single nucleotide gene polymorphisms (SNPs) and Stanford type B aortic dissection. The GMDR software was used to analyze gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. The odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was employed to evaluate the association of genes and Stanford type B AD risk. RESULTS Genotypes and allele distributions in the case and control groups showed significant differences (P < 0.05). Logistic regression has shown that the Stanford Type B AD risk was highest in individuals with the rs1137721 CT genotype (OR = 4.33, 95% CI = 1.51-12.40). Additionally, WBC, drinking, hypertension, triglycerides (TG), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C) were independent risk factors for Stanford Type B AD. Logistic regression showed that the Stanford Type B AD risk was highest in individuals with the MLL3 (rs1137721)-TT + CT and TGFβ1 (rs4522809)-AA genotype (OR = 6.72, 95% CI = 1.56-29.84), and lowest in those with the MLL3 (rs1137721)-CC and TGFβ1 (rs4522809)-AA + GG genotype (OR = 4.38, 95% CI = 0.92-20.83). However, the 55-month median long-term follow-up did not show statistical significance. CONCLUSION Carriers of both TT + CT of MLL3 (rs1137721) and AA of TGFβ1 (rs4522809) polymorphisms may be closely related to the development of Stanford type B AD. MLL3 (rs1137721), WBC, and TG/TC were found to be associated with the morbidity of Stanford type B AD. MLL3 (KMT2C) is associated with the TGF-β signaling pathway protein. The risk of Stanford type B AD is related to the interactions of gene-gene and gene-environment.

Linking single nucleotide polymorphisms to signaling blueprints in abdominal aortic aneurysms. Sci Rep 2022; 12:20990. [PMID: 36470918 PMCID: PMC9722707 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-25144-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/12/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/07/2022] Open
Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) is a multifactorial complex disease with life-threatening consequences. While Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the genome of individuals with AAA, the link between SNPs with the associated pathological signals, the influence of risk factors on their distribution and their combined analysis is not fully understood. We integrated 86 AAA SNPs from GWAS and clinical cohorts from the literature to determine their phenotypical vulnerabilities and association with AAA risk factors. The SNPs were annotated using snpXplorer AnnotateMe tool to identify their chromosomal position, minor allele frequency, CADD (Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion), annotation-based pathogenicity score, variant consequence, and their associated gene. Gene enrichment analysis was performed using Gene Ontology and clustered using REVIGO. The plug-in GeneMANIA in Cytoscape was applied to identify network integration with associated genes and functions. 15 SNPs affecting 20 genes with a CADD score above ten were identified. AAA SNPs were predominantly located on chromosome 3 and 9. Stop-gained rs5516 SNP obtained high frequency in AAA and associated with proinflammatory and vascular remodeling phenotypes. SNPs presence positively correlated with hypertension, dyslipidemia and smoking history. GO showed that AAA SNPs and their associated genes could regulate lipid metabolism, extracellular matrix organization, smooth muscle cell proliferation, and oxidative stress, suggesting that part of these AAA traits could stem from genetic abnormalities. We show a library of inborn SNPs and associated genes that manifest in AAA. We uncover their pathological signaling trajectories that likely fuel AAA development.

Cytokines in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm: Master Regulators With Clinical Application. Biomark Insights 2022; 17:11772719221095676. [PMID: 35492378 PMCID: PMC9052234 DOI: 10.1177/11772719221095676] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder with a mostly asymptomatic course where the abdominal aorta is weakened and bulged. Cytokines play especially important roles (both positive and negative) among the molecular actors of AAA development. All the inflammatory cascades, extracellular matrix degradation and vascular smooth muscle cell apoptosis are driven by cytokines. Previous studies emphasize an altered expression and a changed epigenetic regulation of key cytokines in AAA tissue samples. Such cytokines as IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, IL-33, IL-1β, TGF-β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, and CXCL10 seem to be crucial in AAA pathogenesis. Some data obtained in animal studies show a protective function of IL-10, IL-33, and canonical TGF-β signaling, as well as a dual role of IL-4, IFN-γ and CXCL10, while TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12/IL-23, IL-17, CCR2, CXCR2, CXCR4 and the TGF-β noncanonical pathway are believed to aggravate the disease. Altogether data highlight significance of cytokines as informative markers and predictors of AAA. Pathologic serum/plasma concentrations of IL-1β, IL-2, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, IL-8, IL-17, IFN-γ, and PDGF have been already found in AAA patients. Some of the changes correlate with the size of aneurysms. Moreover, the risk of AAA is associated with polymorphic variants of genes encoding cytokines and their receptors: CCR2 (rs1799864), CCR5 (Delta-32), IL6 (rs1800796 and rs1800795), IL6R (rs12133641), IL10 (rs1800896), TGFB1 (rs1800469), TGFBR1 (rs1626340), TGFBR2 (rs1036095, rs4522809, rs1078985), and TNFA (rs1800629). Finally, 5 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in gene coding latent TGF-β-binding protein (LTBP4) and an allelic variant of TGFB3 are related to a significantly slower AAA annual growth rate.

Abstract
Background This study is aimed at investigating the association of Fibrillin-1 (FBN1) and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) signaling-related gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility of Stanford type B aortic dissection (AD) and its clinical prognostic outcomes. Methods Five single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) (FBN1rs 145233125, rs201170905, rs11070646, TGFB1rs1800469, and TGFB2rs900) were analyzed in patients with Stanford type B AD (164) and healthy controls (317). Gene–gene and gene–environment interactions were assessed by generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction. A 4-year follow-up was performed for all AD patients. Results G carriers of FBN1 rs201170905 and TGFB1 rs1800469 have an increased risk of Stanford type B AD. The interaction of FBN1, TGFB1, TGFB2 and environmental promoted to the increased risk of type B AD (cross-validation consistency = 10/10, P = 0.001). Dominant models of FBN1rs145233125 TC + CC genotype (P = 0.028), FBN1 rs201170905 AG + GG (P = 0.047) and TGFB1 rs1800469 AG + GG (P = 0.052) were associated with an increased risk of death of Stanford type B AD. The recessive model of FBN1 rs145233125 CC genotype (P < 0.001), FBN1rs201170905 GG (P < 0.001), TGFB1 rs1800469 AG + GG genotype (P = 0.011) was associated with an increased risk of recurrence of chest pain in Stanford type B AD. Conclusions The interactions of gene–gene and gene–environment are related with the risk of Stanford type B AD. C carriers of rs145233125, G carriers of rs201170905 and G carriers of rs1800469 may be the poor clinical outcome indicators of mortality and recurrent chest pain in Stanford type B AD.

Abstract
To investigate the association of myosin heavy chain protein 11 (MYH11) and transforming growth factor β signaling-related gene polymorphisms with the susceptibility of DeBakey type III aortic dissection (AD) and its clinical outcomes. Four single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) (MYH11 rs115364997, rs117593370, TGFB1 rs1800469, and TGFBR1 rs1626340) were analyzed in patients with DeBakey III AD (173) and healthy participants (335). Gene-gene and gene-environment interactions were evaluated using generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction. The patients were followed up for a median of 55.7 months. MYH11 rs115364997 G or TGFBR1 rs1626340 A carriers had an increased risk of DeBakey type III AD. MYH11, TGFB1, TGFBR1, and environment interactions contributed to the risk of DeBakey type III AD (cross-validation consistency = 10/10, P = 0.001). Dominant models of MYH11 rs115364997 AG + GG genotype (HR = 2.443; 95%CI: 1.096-5.445, P = 0.029), TGFB1 rs1800469 AG + GG (HR = 2.303; 95%CI: 1.069-4.96, P = 0.033) were associated with an increased risk of mortality in DeBakey type III AD. The dominant model of TGFB1 rs1800469 AG + GG genotype was associated with an increased risk of recurrence of chest pain in DeBakey type III AD (HR = 1.566; 95%CI: 1.018-2.378, P = 0.041). In conclusions, G carriers of MYH11 rs115364997 or TGFB1 rs1800469 may be the poor prognostic indicators of mortality and recurrent chest pain in DeBakey type III AD. The interactions of gene-gene and gene-environment are associated with the risk of DeBakey type III AD.

The comparison of serum TGF-beta levels and associated polymorphisms in patients with coronary artery ectasia and normal coronary artery. Egypt Heart J 2021; 73:32. [PMID: 33788038 PMCID: PMC8012455 DOI: 10.1186/s43044-021-00153-w] [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: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 03/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is described as the enlargement of a coronary artery segment by 1.5 times or more, which is generally associated with the atherosclerotic process. Atherosclerotic changes lead to arterial remodeling result in CAE. In our study, we measured serum transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 levels, which have a protective role against atherosclerosis. Further, we aimed to assess the TGF-β1 gene variants rs1800469 (–509C>T, c.−1347C>T) and rs1800470 (c.+29T>C, p.Pro10Leu, rs1982073), which might have an effect on TGF production. Overall, 2877 patients were screened including 56 patients with CAE and 44 patients with normal coronary arteries who were included in the study. Serum TGF-β1 levels were measured using ELISA and compared between two groups. Additionally, TGF-β1 rs1800469 and rs1800470 gene variations were determined using TaqMan® SNP Genotyping Assays. Results Serum TGF-β1 levels were significantly lower in patients with CAE than in controls (p=0.012). However, there was no difference in terms of the genotype and allele distributions of TGF-β1 rs1800469 and rs1800470 polymorphisms. Serum TGF-β1 levels were higher in individuals carrying the TGF-β1 rs1800470 G allele (GG+AG) than in individuals with normal homozygous AA genotype in the CAE group (p=0.012). Conclusion Our findings suggest that lower serum TGF-β1 levels are associated with an increased risk for CAE development and that TGF-β1 polymorphisms exert a protective effect. Furthermore, TGF-β1 rs1800470 G allele carriers were shown to have higher TGF-β1 levels in the CAE group. This suggests that having the G allele in the TGF-β1 rs1800470 polymorphism could prevent CAE development.
