Short-Term Atorvastatin Therapy in Healthy Individuals Results in Unaltered Plasma MMP Levels and Disrupted MMP-7 Correlation with Blood Lipids and Blood Count-Derived Inflammatory Markers. J Clin Med 2024; 13:4743. [PMID: 39200884 PMCID: PMC11355179 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13164743] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2024] [Revised: 08/08/2024] [Accepted: 08/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Reportedly, statins can decrease MMP activity in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, but this effect has not been studied in healthy individuals. Methods: MMPs 2, 7, and 9 and several other parameters were measured before and after a four-week course of moderate-dose atorvastatin (20 mg/day) in 21 healthy individuals. Results: Atorvastatin treatment resulted in lower total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides (p < 0.001 for all), but higher levels of plasma enzymes AST, ALT, CK, and LDH (p < 0.05 for all). No effect of atorvastatin on plasma MMP median concentrations was recorded. Before treatment, moderate positive significant correlations were found between MMP-7 and age, blood lipids, and blood count-derived inflammatory markers. Pre-treatment MMP-7 was best predicted by the total cholesterol-to-HDL cholesterol ratio in a remnant cholesterol-weighted least squares regression model. After atorvastatin treatment, MMP-7 no longer correlated with these markers. Conclusions: While the effect of statins on plasma MMPs in atherosclerosis is controversial, short-term moderate-dose atorvastatin treatment does not seem to affect levels of MMPs 2, 7, and 9 in healthy individuals. However, an intriguing correlation between MMP-7 and atherosclerosis-related blood lipids and neutrophil-associated inflammatory biomarkers seems to be disrupted by atorvastatin independently of hsCRP, possibly via pleiotropic effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7) plays multiple roles in different stages of tumor development. Elevated MMP7 activity has been reported in ovarian cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of promoter sites of the MMP7 gene has been shown to cause alteration in gene expression, hence resulting in changes in susceptibility to various diseases and tumor development. METHODS The current study evaluated the association of epithelial ovarian cancer risk with MMP7 promoter site -181A>G polymorphism in the population of eastern India. The present case-control study included 64 histopathologically confirmed cases of epithelial ovarian cancer and 100 control subjects. The MMP7 -181A/G polymorphism was identified using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The association between genotypes and epithelial ovarian cancer risk was analyzed by odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval. RESULTS The frequencies of AA, AG, and GG genotypes in ovarian cancer cases were 37.5%, 46.9%, and 15.6%, respectively, while that of control subjects were 56%, 36%, and 8%, respectively, in the study population. By taking the wild-type AA genotype as a reference, it was found that genotype GG was associated with a significant risk for epithelial ovarian cancer (OR: 2.92). Frequency distribution of genotypes did not show any significant association with tumor characteristics like the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage, histology, lymph node status, and distant metastasis. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated the association of MMP7 promoter site -181 GG genotype and the G allele with increased risk for epithelial ovarian cancer in the eastern Indian population.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of death worldwide. Most cardiovascular deaths are caused by ischaemic heart diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI). Hereby atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries often precedes disease manifestation. Since tissue remodelling plays an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis as well as in outcome after MI, regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) as the major ECM-degrading enzymes with diverse other functions is crucial. Here, we provide an overview of the expression profiles of MMPs in coronary artery and left ventricular tissue using publicly available data from whole tissue to single-cell resolution. To approach an association between MMP expression and the development and outcome of CVDs, we further review studies investigating polymorphisms in MMP genes since polymorphisms are known to have an impact on gene expression. This review therefore aims to shed light on the role of MMPs in atherosclerosis and MI by summarizing current knowledge from publically available datasets, human studies, and analyses of polymorphisms up to preclinical and clinical trials of pharmacological MMP inhibition.

Abstract
We report a case of hyperimmunoglobulin (Ig) E syndrome (HIES) with a coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) in a 25-year-old Japanese man. He died suddenly due to chronic heart failure associated with HIES. We noted a CAA at the trunk of the left coronary artery and granulomatous and fibrinoid necrotizing arteritis of the middle portion of the left anterior descending during the autopsy. We speculate herein on the relationship between the aneurysm and arteritis. These findings facilitate a better understanding of the pathogenesis underlying HIES.

Abstract
This study aimed to determine possible association of eight polymorphisms of seven MMP genes with essential hypertension (EH) in a Caucasian population of Central Russia. Eight SNPs of the MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, MMP8, MMP9, and MMP12 genes and their gene–gene (epistatic) interactions were analyzed for association with EH in a cohort of 939 patients and 466 controls using logistic regression and assuming additive, recessive, and dominant genetic models. The functional significance of the polymorphisms associated with EH and 114 variants linked to them (r2 ≥ 0.8) was analyzed in silico. Allele G of rs11568818 MMP7 was associated with EH according to all three genetic models (OR = 0.58–0.70, pperm = 0.01–0.03). The above eight SNPs were associated with the disorder within 12 most significant epistatic models (OR = 1.49–1.93, pperm < 0.02). Loci rs1320632 MMP8 and rs11568818 MMP7 contributed to the largest number of the models (12 and 10, respectively). The EH-associated loci and 114 SNPs linked to them had non-synonymous, regulatory, and eQTL significance for 15 genes, which contributed to the pathways related to metalloendopeptidase activity, collagen degradation, and extracellular matrix disassembly. In summary, eight studied SNPs of MMPs genes were associated with EH in the Caucasian population of Central Russia.

Abstract
Matrix degradation is an important event in the progression, invasion and metastasis of malignant head and neck lesions. Imbalances, mutations and polymorphisms of MMPs and their inhibitors are observed in several cancer subtypes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the MMP-7 gene promoter (181 A/G) and MMP-9 (-1562 C/T) polymorphisms in oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). MMP-7 (rs11568818) and MMP-9 (rs3918242) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis in 71 cases of OTSCC. Normal tissue specimens were obtained from 60 healthy volunteers to serve as the control. The MMP-7 G allele and MMP-9 T allele were more frequent in the OTSCC group than the control group, but only when these two SNPs were taken together was a significant association found with the nodal metastasis of OTSCC (p < 0.001). Based on our results, SNPs in the promoter region of MMP-7 and MMP-9 appear to be associated with greater risk of developing OTSCC, and with a higher propensity to form metastatic tumors. In this respect, molecular studies investigating polymorphisms may be useful in predicting tumor behavior.

Abstract
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) represents a rare drug-induced autoimmune reaction with delayed-type hypersensitivity that initiates the process of developing massive keratinocyte apoptosis, dominantly in the dermoepidermal junction. Although the etiopathophysiology has not yet been fully elucidated, the binding of Fas ligand (FasL, CD95L) to the Fas receptor (CD95) was shown to play a key role in the induction of apoptosis in this syndrome. The knowledge of the role of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in inhibition of Fas-mediated apoptosis contributed to the introduction of i.v. Ig (IVIg) in the therapy of TEN patients. Despite great enthusiasm for this therapy at the end of the 1990s, subsequent studies in various populations and meta-analyses could not unequivocally confirm the efficacy of the IVIg-based treatment concept. Today, therefore, we are faced with the dilemmas of how to adjust therapy of TEN patients most effectively, which patients could benefit from IVIg therapy and what dose of the preparation should be administrated. The ground-breaking question is: do the host genetic profiles influence the responsiveness and side-effects of IVIg therapy in TEN patients? Based on recent pharmacological, immunological and genetic findings, we suggest that the variability of IVIg therapy outcomes in TEN patients may be related to functional variants in Fas, FasL and Fc-γ receptor genes. This novel concept could lead to improved quality of care for patients with TEN, facilitating personalized therapy to reduce mortality.

Abstract
Background Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and metallothioneins (MTs) are Zinc-related proteins which are involved in processes crucial for carcinogenesis such as angiogenesis, proliferation and apoptosis. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MMPs and MTs that affect genes expression have been associated with cancer risk, including breast, lung and colon. Methods The study group consisted of 648 unselected patients (299 with breast cancer, 199 with lung cancer, 150 with colon cancer) and 648 unaffected individuals. Five SNPs, rs1799750 in MMP-1, rs243865 in MMP-2, rs11568818 in MMP-7, rs2252070 in MMP-13 and rs28366003 in MT2A were genotyped and serum zinc (Zn) level was measured. The cancer risk was calculated using multivariable logistic regression with respect to Zn. Results None of the 5 tested polymorphisms showed a correlation with cancer risk in studied groups, although for MMP-2, MMP-7 and MT2A non-significant differences in genotypes frequencies among cases and controls were observed. Conclusions Analyses of polymorphisms, rs1799750 in MMP-1, rs243865 in MMP-2, rs11568818 in MMP-7, rs2252070 in MMP-13 and rs28366003 in MT2A in relation to serum Zn level did not show significant association with breast, lung and colon cancer risk among polish patients. Further studies are needed to verify this observation.

Abstract
Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) 3 and 9 are functionally implicated in the progression of various types of cancer, including breast cancer (BC). However, the roles of these SNPs remain controversial. In addition, they also vary between one population and another. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the possible association between MMP3-1171 5A/6A and MMP9-1562 CT SNPs and the risk of BC among Egyptians, and to elucidate the alteration of MMP3 and MMP9 gene expression in patients with BC. The present case-control study enrolled 162 patients with BC and 146 control subjects. Restriction fragment length polymorphism-PCR was performed for analysis of the selected SNPs, gene expression of MMP3 and MMP9 was also assessed in 50 patients and 50 control subjects by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. The frequencies of 5A/6A genotype and 5A allele of MMP3 were significantly higher in patients with BC compared with in healthy subjects. On the other hand, the distributions of MMP9 genotypes and alleles were not significantly different among patients and healthy subjects. Compared with healthy subjects, the expression levels of the two genes were found to be upregulated in patients with BC. Therefore, the present study indicated that MMP3-1171 5A/6A SNP, not MMP9-1562 C>T SNP may be a risk factor for developing BC among Egyptian females.

Abstract
Background Many studies have investigated the association between matrix metalloproteinase polymorphisms and lung cancer susceptibility. However, the results are still controversial. To clarify these associations, we conducted a meta-analysis. Methods A systematic search of studies was conducted in PubMed, Embase, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure. Overall and subgroup analysis stratified by ethnicity was conducted. OR with 95% CI was used to assess the strength of the association. Furthermore, false-positive report probability (FPRP) tests were also performed for associations obtained in this meta-analysis. Results Twenty-four studies, including 10,099 cases and 9,395 controls, were analyzed. Nine polymorphisms were reported. For MMP1 -1607 1G/2G and MMP7 -181 A/G, increased lung cancer risk was found in Asians. For MMP2 -1306 C/T and MMP2 -735 C/T, decreased lung cancer risk was found in both “diverse populations” and Asians. For MMP9 -1562, C/T decreased lung cancer risk was found in both “diverse populations” and Caucasians. For MMP13 -77A/G, the A/G genotype decreased lung cancer risk in Asians. However, only associations between MMP1 -1607 1G/2G, MMP2 -1306 C/T, MMP2 -735 C/T, and MMP7 -181 A/G and lung cancer risk were considered noteworthy according to FPRP tests. There was no association between MMP3 -1171 5A/6A, MMP9 R279Q, and MMP12 -82A/G and lung cancer risk. Conclusions Our meta-analysis suggested that MMP1 -1607 1G/2G and MMP7 -181 A/G were risk factors for lung cancer, while MMP2 -1306 C/T, MMP2 -735 C/T, MMP9 -1562 C/T, and MMP13 -77A/G might be protective factors. However, results for MMP9 -1562 C/T and MMP13 -77A/G should be interpreted with caution due to the probability of false-positive reports.

Abstract
MMP (matrix metalloproteinase)-7-a potent extracellular matrix degrading enzyme-is emerging as a new regulator of cardiovascular diseases. However, potential contributions of MMP7 genetic variations to hypertension remain unknown. In this study, we probed for the association of a tag single-nucleotide polymorphism in the MMP7 promoter (-181A/G; rs11568818) with hypertension in an urban South Indian population (n=1501). The heterozygous AG genotype significantly increased risk for hypertension as compared with the wild-type AA genotype (odds ratio, 1.60 [95% CI, 1.25-2.06]; P=2.4×10-4); AG genotype carriers also displayed significantly higher diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure than wild-type AA individuals. The study was replicated in a North Indian population (n=949) (odds ratio, 1.52 [95% CI, 1.11-2.09]; P=0.01). Transient transfection experiments using MMP7 promoter-luciferase reporter constructs revealed that the variant -181G allele conferred greater promoter activity than the -181A allele. Computational prediction and structure-based conformational and molecular dynamics simulation studies suggested higher binding affinity for the CREB (cyclic AMP response element-binding protein) to the -181G promoter. In corroboration, overexpression/downregulation of CREB and chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments provided convincing evidence for stronger binding of CREB with the -181G promoter. The -181G promoter also displayed enhanced responses to hypoxia and epinephrine treatment. The higher promoter activity of -181G allele translated to increased MMP7 protein level, and MMP7-181AG heterozygous individuals displayed elevated plasma MMP7 levels, which positively correlated with blood pressure. In conclusion, the MMP7 A-181G promoter polymorphism increased MMP7 expression under pathophysiological conditions (hypoxic stress and catecholamine excess) via increased interactions with CREB and enhanced the risk for hypertension in its carriers.

The association between matrix metalloproteinase-7 genetic variant and bladder cancer risk in a Chinese Han population. Clin Exp Med 2019; 19:565-570.

Abstract
The circulating matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) levels are associated with the risk of bladder cancer (BC). MMP-7 gene -181A/G polymorphism may influence the expression of MMP-7 by affecting the transcriptional activity. A case-control study comprising 355 BC patients and 435 age- and gender-matched healthy controls was conducted in a Chinese Han population. The genotype of MMP-7 gene -181A/G polymorphism was determined by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Data revealed that MMP-7 gene -181A/G polymorphism increased the risk of BC under the homozygous and allelic models. However, no association between MMP-7 gene -181A/G polymorphism and BC risk was obtained after adjusting for age, gender, smoking habits and drinking habits. Subgroup analyses showed MMP-7 gene -181A/G polymorphism was associated with increased risk for BC among the smokers and drinkers. Furthermore, AG or GG genotype of -181A/G polymorphism was associated with larger tumor size and lymphatic metastasis in BC patients. To sum up, MMP-7 gene -181A/G polymorphism is not associated with the susceptibility to BC. However, subgroup analyses obtain significant association among the groups of smokers and drinkers. Larger studies in other ethnic groups are needed to ascertain the contribution of MMP-7 gene -181A/G polymorphism to BC risk.

Abstract
To study the interaction of polymorphic markers of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and chronic stress in the development of stroke associated with hypertension. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 830 patients, including 303 patients with ischemic stroke associated with essential hypertension (EH) and 527 patients with EH without stroke, were examined. The study of metalloproteinases SNP was carried out using real-time PCR. The functional significance and influence of polymorphic loci on gene expression was studied using of HaploReg (v4.1) (http://archive.broadinstitute.org) and GTEx-portal (http://www.gtexportal.org). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: An association of the genotype GG (rs11568818) of MMP7 with a high risk of stroke in patients exposed to regular stress (OR=1.71) was observed. It was found that allele 5A and genotype 5A/5A (rs3025058) of MMP3 had a protective effect on the development of stroke in patients without regular stress in the anamnesis (OR=0.73 and OR=0.60, respectively). Those SNPs are localized in the region of histone proteins H3K4me1 and H3K4me3, in the region of hypersensitivity to DNase-1, in the region of binding of regulatory proteins and transcription factors. The polymorphic locus rs11568818 is associated with the expression level of MMP7.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM The breakage of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) has been reported to be one of the mechanisms required for tumor invasion, and the expression of MMP-7 in serum is correlated with poor prognosis of urinary bladder cancer patients. However, the role of the MMP-7 genotypes has been seldom examined among bladder cancer patients. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the promoter polymorphic MMP-7 genotypes A-181G and C-153T among Taiwanese bladder cancer patients and evaluate the contribution of the genotypic variants of MMP-7 to bladder cancer risk in Taiwan. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred and seventy-five bladder cancer patients and the same number of gender- and age-matched healthy controls were genotyped for A-181G and C-153T in the promoter of MMP-7 via polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism methodology. RESULTS The frequencies of AA, AG and GG at A-181G of the promoter of MMP-7 were 89.1, 8.8 and 2.1% in the bladder cancer patient group and 87.5, 10.9 and 1.6% in the matched healthy control group, respectively (p for trend=0.5475). There was no polymorphic genotype for MMP-7 C-153T among the Taiwanese population. The comparisons in allelic frequency distribution also support the findings that the G allele may not be the determinant allele for bladder cancer in Taiwan. In addition, the results showed that there is no significant association of the bladder risk with the MMP-7 A-181G genotype, even after adjustment for the possible confounding factors. Furthermore, there is no interaction of the genotypes of MMP-7 with age, gender, smoking and alcohol consumption on bladder cancer risk. CONCLUSION The results of this study suggest that the two MMP-7 polymorphisms, - A-181G and C-153T, do not play a major role in determining personal susceptibility to bladder cancer in Taiwan.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play important roles in inflammation and carcinogenesis, but the genotypic role of MMP-7 has never been investigated in colorectal cancer (CRC) among the Taiwanese. Therefore, in this study we aimed to evaluate the contribution of MMP-7 genotypes to the risk of CRC in Taiwan. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this case-control study, MMP-7 A-181G and C-153T promoter genotypes were determined and their association with CRC risk were investigated among 362 CRC patients and 362 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. In addition, the interaction of MMP-7 genotypes and personal behaviors were also examined. RESULTS The percentages of variant AG and GG for MMP-7 A-181G genotypes were 10.5% and 1.7% in the CRC group and 11.9% and 2.2% in the control group, respectively (p for trend=0.7145). The allelic frequency distribution analysis showed that the variant G allele of MMP-7 A-181G conferred a slight but non-significant decreased CRC susceptibility to the wild-type C allele (odds ratio (OR)=0.86, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.64-1.31, p=0.37). Taiwanese all harbour the CC genotype at MMP-7 C-153T. As for the gene-lifestyle interaction, there were no obvious joint effects of MMP-7 A-181G genotype on the risk of CRC among ever smoker, alcohol drinker, non-smoker or non-drinker subgroups. No statistically significant correlation was observed between MMP-7 A-181G genotypic distributions and age, gender, tumor size, location or metastasis status. CONCLUSION The genotypes of MMP-7 A-181G may play an indirect role in determining personal susceptibility to CRC and prognosis. The further genotyping work on MMP-7 and other genes (such as other MMPs, oncogenes and tumor suppression genes) on CRC susceptibility and prognosis, should be taken into consideration spontaneously in the precision medicine era.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Age-related macular degeneration is a progressive eye disease affecting the macula and causing acute visual loss particularly in elder people. The aim of the study was an attempt to discern an influence of expression levels and functional genetic polymorphisms of selected genes related to the extracellular matrix turnover or neovascularization on age-related macular degeneration occurrence and progression. METHODS We conducted a case-control study of 200 polish patients with recognized age-related macular degeneration (dry and wet) and compared the results with those obtained from matched 100 healthy control subjects. TaqMan Genotyping Assays were employed to examine the following single nucleotide polymorphisms: matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2 -735C/T, MMP-7 -181A/G, MMP-9 -1702T/A, and -1562C/T; tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-2 -418G/C; vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) +405 G/C and +936 C/T, VEGFR-2 +1719 T/A and -271 G/A. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was assessed to determine the mRNA quantity. Serum levels of proteins were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping showed that TT genotype for MMP-9 -1702T/A and CC genotype for VEGF +936C/T increase markedly the risk of age-related macular degeneration but do not influence on its progression. Additionally, the possible protective effect of CC genetic variant in MMP-9 -1562C/T polymorphism against progression of age-related macular degeneration was observed. We also found significant differences in systemic expression levels of MMP-2, -7, -9, TIMP-2, vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGFR-2, and pigment epithelium-derived factor between studied group. The research demonstrated evident differences in serum levels of MMP-2, -7, -9, TIMP-2, vascular endothelial growth factor, and pigment epithelium-derived factor between wet and dry age-related macular degeneration patients. CONCLUSIONS We can conclude that disturbances in angiogenic homeostasis and processes of extracellular matrix turnover occurring in age-related macular degeneration-affected ocular tissues may be reflected in changes in systemic expression levels of the investigated genes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Prostate cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed malignancies among men in Western populations. Evidence reported in the literature suggests that zinc may be related to prostate cancer. In this study we evaluated the association of serum zinc levels and polymorphisms in genes encoding zinc-dependent proteins with prostate cancer in Poland. METHODS The study group consisted of 197 men affected with prostate cancer and 197 healthy men. Serum zinc levels were measured and 5 single nucleotide polymorphisms in MMP-1, MMP-2, MMP-7, MMP-13, MT2A genes were genotyped. RESULTS The mean serum zinc level was higher in prostate cancer patients than in healthy controls (898.9±12.01 μg/l vs. 856.6±13.05 μg/l, p<0.01). When compared in quartiles a significant association of higher zinc concentration with the incidence of prostate cancer was observed. The highest OR (OR = 4.41, 95%CI 2.07-9.37, p<0.01) was observed in 3rd quartile (>853.0-973.9 μg/l). Among five analyzed genetic variants, rs11568818 in MMP-7 appeared to be correlated with 2-fold increased prostate cancer risk (OR = 2.39, 95% CI = 1.19-4.82, p = 0.015). CONCLUSION Our results suggest a significant correlation of higher serum zinc levels with the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The polymorphism rs11568818 in MMP-7 gene was also associated with an increased prostate cancer risk in Poland.

Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by decreased air flow and is associated with abnormal chronic inflammation in the airways and extensive tissue remodeling. Matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP7) is produced primarily by the epithelium of many organs, including the lungs. A functional MMP7 -181A>G (rs11568818) promoter polymorphism influences the binding of nuclear regulatory proteins modulating the transcription of the gene. In this study, we genotyped 191 patients with COPD for MMP7 -181A>G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and 215 control subjects using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method and explored the role of that polymorphism as a risk factor for COPD. There were no differences in the genotype and allele distribution of the MMP7 -181A>G SNP between the COPD patients and control groups (p = 0.341 and p = 0.214). However, the carries of the G allele (AG and GG genotypes), appeared to develop COPD significantly earlier than those with the AA genotype (61.01 ± 10.11 vs. 64.87 ± 9.00 years, p = 0.032). When the genotype distribution was studied only in the groups of patients (n = 76) and controls (n = 106) younger than 60 years, we found significantly higher frequency of the carriers of the G allele in COPD patients than in the controls, determining about a 3-fold higher risk for COPD [odds ratio (OR) -3.33, 1.36-8.14, p = 0.008 for GG, and OR = 2.91, 1.38-6.13, p = 0.005 for AG+GG]. Based on our results, the MMP7 -181A>G promoter variant may influence early development of COPD. This effect could be attributed to the increased production of the enzyme resulting in enhanced airway wall protein degradation and injury.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM Mounting evidence has suggested that polymorphisms in the promoters of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes are associated with the risk of many types of cancer, but no study has ever explored these polymorphisms as biomarkers for renal cell cancer (RCC). Recently, it was suggested that serum MMP-7 levels have both diagnostic and prognostic potential for RCC. In this study, we focused on the contribution of two functional polymorphisms in the promoter region of MMP-7 (A-181G and C-153T) to RCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS These two polymorphisms were genotyped in 92 patients with RCC and 580 controls by PRC-RFLP analysis. RESULTS The results showed that there is no significant association of the RCC risk with the MMP-7 A-181G genotype, even after adjusted for the possible confounding factors. The MMP-7 C-153T polymorphism was not identified among the subjects investigated. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that the two MMP-7 polymorphisms A-181G and C-153T do not play a major role in determining personal susceptibility to RCC in Taiwan.

Abstract
Purpose E-cadherin (CDH1) and metalloproteinase (MMP) polymorphisms could play a crucial role in cancer invasion. Our aim was to investigate the influence of the -160C/A CDH1, -1607ins/delG MMP-1 and -181A/G MMP-7 polymorphisms on the frequency and progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Experimental design A total of 130 patients with CRC and 130 noncancer controls were studied. The -160C/A CDH1, -1607ins/delG MMP-1 and -181A/G MMP-7 genotypes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results Patients with the 1G allele and a family history of CRC showed a six times higher risk of developing CRC (OR: 6.45, 95%CI: 2.02–20.6, p=0.001). The A/A CDH1 genotype was associated with a higher risk of metastatic disease (OR: 3.43, 95%CI: 1.27–9.27, p=0.023). A higher marginal risk of metastatic disease was observed for MMP-1 genotypes 1G/1G and 1G/2G (OR: 2.97, 95%CI: 0.93–9.47, p=0.098). Conclusions The -160C/A CDH1, -1607ins/delG MMP-1 and -181A/G MMP-7 single nucleotide polymorphisms did not modify the risk of CRC development. Patients with the 1G/1G or 1G/2G genotype and a family history of CRC presented a higher risk of CRC. The AA CDH1 and 1G/1G and 1G/2G MMP-1 genotypes might be associated with advanced metastatic disease, but are not markers of lymphatic metastasis.

Abstract
The immune system is a double-edged sword with regard to the prostate cancer (PCa) battle. Immunogenetics, the study of the potential role of immune-related polymorphisms, is taking its first steps in the treatment of this malignancy. This review summarizes the most recent papers addressing the potential of immunogenetics in PCa, reporting immune-related polymorphisms associated with tumor aggressiveness, treatment toxicity and patients' prognosis. With some peculiarities, RNASEL, IL-6, IL-10, IL-1β and MMP7 have arisen as the most significant biomarkers in PCa treatment and management, having a potential clinical role. Validation prospective clinical studies are required to translate immunogenetics into precision treatment of PCa.

Abstract
Aims The impact of MMP-1 (-519A/G, -1607 1G/2G), MMP-3 Lys45Glu (A/G), MMP-7 -181A/G, and MMP-12 -82A/G variants and plasma MMP levels on obesity and microvascular reactivity in Tunisians. Methods Our population included 202 nonobese and 168 obese subjects. Anthropometric, biochemical, and microvascular parameters were determined according to standard protocols. PCR-RFLP and ELISA were used to determine the genetic variants and levels of MMPs, respectively. Results The MMP-3 45Glu (G) allele associates with higher anthropometric values and MMP-3 levels compared to AA genotype carriers (BMI (kg/m2): 30 ± 0.51 versus 27.33 ± 0.8, P = 0.004; MMP-3 levels: 7.45 (4.77–11.91) versus 5.21 (3.60–10.21) ng/ml, P = 0.006). The MMP-12 -82G allele was also associated with higher BMI values when compared to subjects carrying the AA genotype (31.41 ± 0.85 versus 28.76 ± 0.43, P < 0.001). Individuals carrying the MMP-3 45G or MMP-12 -82G variants were also associated with a higher risk for severe forms of obesity (MMP-3: OR = 1.9, P = 0.002; MMP-12: OR = 2.63, P = 0.003). Similarly, the MMP-7 -181G allele was associated with a higher MMP-7 level and an increased risk for morbid obesity when compared to AA genotype carriers (0.32 (0.31–0.60) versus 0.18 (0.17–0.24) ng/ml, P = 0.01; OR = 1.67, P = 0.02, resp.). Conclusion MMP-3, MMP-7, and MMP-12 polymorphisms associate with obesity risk and its severity.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP) have a significant role in tissue remodeling related to cardiac function. In earlier studies, MMP-7 A-181G (rs11568818), C-153T (rs11568819), C-115T (rs17886546), and TIMP-2 G-418C (rs8179090) polymorphisms have been studied in various diseases. However, association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and these polymorphisms has been poorly studied. The goal of this study is to investigate the association of CAD and myocardial infarction (MI) with MMP-7 or TIMP-2 polymorphisms. This study included 122 CAD patients and 132 control individuals. DNA was extracted from whole blood. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism and automated direct sequencing method were used for genotyping of these polymorphisms. No significant differences were found between MMP-7 A-181G, C-115T, and TIMP-2 G-418C polymorphism and CAD or MI in a Turkish population. Despite the fact that the genotypes of MMP-7 C-153T polymorphism had no significant differences among MI and control groups, allele frequencies of C-153T polymorphism were significantly different between the two groups. Our study is the first report to clarify the appreciable relationship between MMP-7 C-153T polymorphism and MI development in CAD patients. However, these findings also need to be confirmed in other populations so we can improve our knowledge about the genetic factors affecting the development of CAD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of zinc-dependent proteases that degrade all the components of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Several studies have demonstrated association between MMP gene polymorphisms and various cancers. The object of this study was to investigate whether the MMP-1 and MMP-9 gene promoter polymorphisms are associated with endometrial carcinomas in a Japanese population. METHODS We compared the allele frequencies and genotype distributions of each single nucleotide polymorphism in the promoter regions of MMP-1 (-1607 1G/2G) and MMP-9 (-1562 C/T) in 107 endometrial carcinoma cases and 213 controls using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment-length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. RESULTS The allele frequencies of MMP-1 -1607 2G and MMP-9 -1562T were 64.0% and 10.7% in the cases and 70.0% and 16.7% in the controls, respectively. No significant differences in the allele frequencies or genotype distributions were found between cases and controls for the MMP-1 -1607 1G/2G polymorphism. However, a small but significant difference in the allele frequency of the MMP-9 -1562T allele was noted between cases and controls (P = .046; odds ratio [OR] = 1.01; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01 to 2.73). Stratification by histology revealed a significant difference in the frequency of the MMP-9 -1562T allele between endometrioid carcinoma cases (10.2%) and controls (P = .043; OR = 1.76; 95% CI, 1.02 to 3.03); we did not find a significant difference in the frequency of the MMP-9 -1562T allele between non-endometrioid carcinoma cases (13.2%) and controls. CONCLUSION These results suggest that the MMP-9 -1562 C/T polymorphism may be associated with susceptibility to endometrioid carcinoma in the Japanese population.

Abstract
The HIV-1-induced neurological toxicity has been associated with the deficiency of matrix metalloproteinases. Tat protein of HIV up regulates MMP-7 release and activation, leading to neurotoxicity. The SNP -181A>G of MMP-7 is known to have functional effects on its promoter activity. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the association of variants of MMP-7 -181A>G gene in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND). In the present case-control study, we recruited 50 HIV-infected individuals with HAND, 130 HIV-infected individuals without HAND and 150 unrelated healthy individuals. Polymorphism for MMP-7 -181A>G gene was genotyped by PCR-RFLP method. Frequency of -181GG and G allele of MMP-7 did not differ significantly between patients with HAND and without HAND (8.0% vs 13.1%, p = 0.22 and 31% vs 38.1%, p = 0.21). Individuals with -181 AG, -181GG genotype, and G allele of MMP-7 were found to have reduced the risk of development of HAND but not significant (50.0% vs 51.9%, p = 0.09, OR = 0.54; 13.1% vs 19.0%, p = 0.33, OR = 0.71 and 38.1% vs 44.9%, p = 0.09, OR = 0.75). Individuals in early HIV disease stage having -181AG genotype and -181AG + GG combined genotype of MMP-7 were not associated with the development of HAND (OR = 1.27, p = 0.25 and OR = 1.25, p = 0.17). Tobacco and alcohol consumption among individuals with any genotype of MMP-7 was not associated with the risk of development of HAND. In conclusion, individuals with -181GG genotype and G allele had no impact on susceptibility to the development of HAND and its severity.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes that play a pivotal role in the transformation and progression of tumors at all stages, especially during the invasion and metastasis. The aim of this study was to determine the genetic association of MMP2, MMP7 and MMP9 promoter polymorphisms with colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility and development risk in ethnic Kashmiri population. The genotype frequencies of MMP2-1306C/T, MMP7-181A/G and MMP9-1562C/T SNPs were compared between 142 CRC patients and 184 healthy controls by using PCR-RFLP method. The association between all the three MMP promoter polymorphisms and the modulation of risk of CRC was found to be significant (p≤0.05). The heterozygous genotype (CT) of MMP2-1306C/T SNP and variant genotype (GG) of MMP7-181A/G SNP showed a significant association with decreased risk for the development of CRC [OR, 0.61 (95%CI, 0.37-1.01); p=0.05 and OR, 0.43 (95%CI, 0.20-0.90); p=0.02, respectively] whereas the heterozygous genotype (CT) of MMP9-1562C/T SNP showed a significant association with increased risk for the development of colorectal cancer [OR, 1.88 (95%CI, 1.11-3.18); p=0.02]. Further, the less common MMP9-1562T allele was found to be significantly associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer [OR, 1.74 (95%CI, 1.15-2.62); p=0.007]. Our results suggest that these MMP2, MMP7 and MMP9 promoter polymorphisms play a role as one of the key modulators of the risk of developing colorectal cancer in Kashmiri population.

Abstract
Background: Oligodendrogliomas are infiltrative astrocytic tumors. They constitute about 1-5% of intracranial tumors. These have been graded into benign and malignant grades. The single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter regions of MMP genes may influence tumor development and progression. This study was done to explore the correlations of the promoter SNPs in MMP-1, MMP-2 and MMP-7 genes susceptibility in development and progression of oligodendrogliomas. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the association of MMP1 (−1607A > G), MMP-2 (−1306 C/T) and MMP-7(−181A > G) gene polymorphism in oligodendrogliomas (grade I, II, III). Materials and Methods: In the present case control study, we enrolled a total of 30 cases of oligodendrogliomas (grade I to III) confirmed by histopathology and 30 healthy cases as control. Polymorphism for MMP-1 gene (−1607A > G), MMP-2 (−1306 C/T), MMP-7(−181A > G) were genotyped by restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results: Frequencies of MMP-1 (−1607A > G) genotypes and 2G alleles were significantly associated with the cases of oligodendrogliomas (30%) in relation to healthy controls (13%). [OR = 6.89; P = 0.02; 95%CI= (1.33-35.62)] and [OR = 2.66; P =0.01; 95% CI= (1.26-5.64)]. A significant association of MMP-2 (−1306C/T) polymorphism with oligodendroglioma (P = 0.54) was not found, suggesting that MMP-2 (−1306C/T) polymorphism is not associated with increased oligodendroglioma susceptibility. Frequencies of MMP-7(−181A > G) genotypes and 2G alleles were significantly associated with the cases of oligodendrogliomas (33.33%) in relation to healthy controls (13.33%). [OR = 5.65; P = 0.02; 95%CI= (1.26-25.36)] and [OR = 2.49; P =0.01; 95% CI= (1.17-5.27)]. Conclusions: MMP-1 (−1607 A > G), MMP-7(−181A > G) genotypes and 2G alleles were significantly associated with oligodendroglioma (grade I, II, III), but MMP-2 (−1306C/T) polymorphism is not associated with increased oligodendroglioma susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are upregulated in tumors. The MMP-7 A-181G polymorphism is associated with increased expression of the MMP-7 gene. Aim of the present study was to investigate the association between the MMP-7 A-181G polymorphism and susceptibility to breast cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS The MMP-7 A-181G variants were studied in a cohort of 251 subjects consisting of 100 breast cancer patients and 151 healthy controls; all were from Western Iran. The MMP-7 A-181G genotypes were identified using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. RESULTS The frequencies of the MMP-7 AA, AG, and GG genotypes in healthy individuals were 34.4, 50.4, and 15.2%, respectively. In breast cancer patients, the frequencies of AA (34%), AG (52%), and GG (14%) genotypes (p = 0.95) were similar to those in the controls. There was a trend toward an increased frequency of the combined genotype of MMP-7 AG+GG in patients with lymph node metastasis (70.4%) compared to those without metastasis (66.7%). Also, in patients with invasive lobular carcinoma, the frequency of the MMP-7 AG+GG genotype tended to be higher (71.4%) compared to that in patients with invasive ductal carcinoma (66.2%) (p = 0.78). CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that the MMP-7 A-181G polymorphism may not be correlated with susceptibility to breast cancer in our population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of highly conserved, metal-dependent proteolytic enzymes that play an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Many studies have been carried out on the association between polymorphisms in the MMP1, MMP2, MMP3, MMP7, and MMP9 genes and urinary cancer risk. However, the data from these published studies are conflicting and have low statistical power. METHODS In this study, we performed a meta-analysis of 12 different publications from the PubMed and WanFang databases, published up to May 2015, to better assess the purported associations. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were determined to reveal association strengths. RESULTS Some significant associations were found. For the MMP1 -1607 1G/2G polymorphism, a negative association was identified for the 2G allele in bladder cancer (2G2G+2G1G vs. 1G1G: OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.36-0.93, pheterogeneity = 0.001) and renal cell carcinoma (2G1G vs. 1G1G: OR = 0.57, 95% CI = 0.39-0.82, pheterogeneity = 0.567). For the MMP2 -1306 C/T polymorphism, there was a negative association with the T allele for bladder cancer in the Asian population (TT+TC vs. CC: OR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.18-0.94, pheterogeneity = 0.195). For the MMP7 -181 A/G polymorphism, a decreased bladder cancer risk was found (G-allele vs. A-allele: OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.66-0.98, pheterogeneity =0.325). CONCLUSION In summary, our study showed evidence that genetic polymorphisms in MMP1 for all populations, but only in the Asian population for MMP2 and MMP7, may protect against bladder cancer risk. Future studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to further evaluate these associations in more detail.

Abstract
Elevated expression of matrix metalloproteinase7 (MMP7) has been demonstrated to play a pivotal role in cancer invasion. The -181A→G (rs11568818) polymorphism in the MMP7 promoter modulates gene expression and possibly affects cancer progression. Here, we evaluated the impact of -181A→G polymorphism on MMP7 promoter activity and its association with gastric cancer risk in eastern Indian case-control cohorts (n = 520). The GG genotype as compared with the AA genotype was predisposed (p = 0.02; odds ratio = 1.9, 95% confidence interval = 1.1-3.3) to gastric cancer risk. Stratification analysis showed that tobacco addiction enhanced gastric cancer risk in GG subjects when compared with AA subjects (p = 0.03, odds ratio = 2.46, and 95% confidence interval = 1.07-5.68). Meta-analysis revealed that tobacco enhanced the risk for cancer more markedly in AG and GG carriers. Activity and expression of MMP7 were significantly higher in GG than in AA carriers. In support, MMP7 promoter-reporter assays showed greater transcriptional activity toward A to G transition under basal/nicotine-induced/cAMP-response element-binding protein (CREB) overexpressed conditions in gastric adenocarcinoma cells. Moreover, nicotine (a major component of tobacco) treatment significantly up-regulated MMP7 expression due to enhanced CREB phosphorylation followed by its nuclear translocation in gastric adenocarcinoma cells. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments revealed higher binding of phosphorylated CREB with the -181G than the -181A allele. Altogether, specific binding of phosphorylated CREB to the G allele-carrying promoter enhances MMP7 gene expression that is further augmented by nicotine due to increased CREB phosphorylation and thereby increases the risk for gastric cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The platelet chemokine CXCL4 induces monocyte differentiation resulting in a macrophage phenotype called "M4", which co-expresses CD68, MMP7, and S100A8. We hypothesized that M4 macrophages are associated with plaque destabilization. METHODS Atherosclerotic arteries were obtained from explanted hearts of patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD, n = 32) and of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and no or mild CAD (controls, n = 19). Coronary arteries were stained with H&E, and immuno-fluorescence was performed against CD68, MMP7, and S100A8. RESULTS Both CD68(+) macrophages representing the entire macrophage population and MMP7(+)S100A8(+)CD68(+) M4 macrophages could be reproducibly identified within all arterial layers. The average proportion of the M4 macrophage phenotype amongst all CD68(+) macrophages was 31.7 ± 16.2%. The highest number of M4 macrophages was found in the adventitia, followed by the intima. CD68(+) and M4 macrophage numbers were significantly higher in patients with severe CAD. The presence of M4 macrophages within the intima and the media was significantly associated with plaque instability as determined by Stary class. Multivariate analysis showed a highly significant contribution of cardiovascular risk factors (P = 0.008) to plaque instability, while only trends were observed for age (P = 0.060) and intimal prevalence of M4 macrophages (P = 0.098). CONCLUSIONS We demonstrate for the first time that M4 macrophages can be reproducibly found in coronary artery plaques. The prevalence of M4 macrophages is associated with indexes of plaque instability, most likely representing a surrogate marker of inflammatory activity. These findings suggest a pathogenetic role of M4 macrophages in vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.

Abstract
Aim: To investigate the influence of matrix metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) A-181G on the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) and neurological disability. Patients & methods: The variants of MMP-7 were studied in 126 MS patients and 190 healthy controls. Results: The MMP-7 G allele and AG+GG genotype significantly increased the risk of MS in females (odds ratio: 1.59; p = 0.011) and patients with the age at disease onset of ≤19 years (odds ratio: 8.77; p = 0.038), respectively. Patients with clinical course of secondary progressive MS carriers of AG genotype had higher mean Expanded Disability Status Scale (4.9 ± 0.85; p = 0.01) compared with carriers of AA genotype (3.75 ± 0.41). Conclusion: The MMP-7 A-181G polymorphism might be associated with susceptibility to MS in females and individuals with the age at disease onset of ≤19 years and with neurological disability in secondary progressive MS.

Abstract
The process of carcinogenesis is tightly regulated by antioxidant enzymes and matrix degrading enzymes, namely, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins like collagen, proteoglycan, laminin, elastin and fibronectin is considered to be the prerequisite for tumor invasion and metastasis. MMPs can degrade essentially all of the ECM components and, most MMPs also substantially contribute to angiogenesis, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis. Hence, MMPs are important regulators of tumor growth both at the primary site and in distant metastases; thus the enzymes are considered as important targets for cancer therapy. The implications of MMPs in cancers are no longer mysterious; however, the mechanism of action is yet to be explained. Herein, our major interest is to clarify how MMPs are tied up with gastrointestinal cancers. Gastrointestinal cancer is a variety of cancer types, including the cancers of gastrointestinal tract and organs, i.e., esophagus, stomach, biliary system, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus. The activity of MMPs is regulated by its endogenous inhibitor tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP) which bind MMPs with a 1:1 stoichiometry. In addition, RECK (reversion including cysteine-rich protein with kazal motifs) is a membrane bound glycoprotein that inhibits MMP-2, -9 and -14. Moreover, α2-macroglobulin mediates the uptake of several MMPs thereby inhibit their activity. Cancerous conditions increase intrinsic reactive oxygen species (ROS) through mitochondrial dysfunction leading to altered protease/anti-protease balance. ROS, an index of oxidative stress is also involved in tumorigenesis by activation of different MAP kinase pathways including MMP induction. Oxidative stress is involved in cancer by changing the activity and expression of regulatory proteins especially MMPs. Epidemiological studies have shown that high intake of fruits that rich in antioxidants is associated with a lower cancer incidence. Evidence indicates that some antioxidants inhibit the growth of malignant cells by inducing apoptosis and inhibiting the activity of MMPs. This review is discussed in six subchapters, as follows.

Abstract
Introduction: A consortium of metabolic risk factors accelerate the onset of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers. Proteolytic enzymes like matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are regulated by a group of endogenous proteins called tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMP). These TIMPs binds to active and alternate sites of activated MMPs and facilitate regulation. Impaired expression of MMPs may have a significant contribution in the pathogenesis of many tissues-destructive processes like tumor progression and cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Materials and Methods: This case control study lays stress on the possible role of impaired levels of circulating MMP-2 and 9 in metabolic syndrome (MetS). The age, sex-matched 388 subjects with 190 newly diagnosed patients, and 198 healthy controls were recruited. To screen the patients with MetS, biochemical analysis of patients for impaired glucose level, hypertension, body mass index (BMI), and lipid profile was performed. The circulating level of MMP-2 and -9 in serum was analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in all patients and control. Results: All metabolic risk factors were statistically significant (P < 0.01) in patients against control group. The serum MMP-2 and -9 level was significantly higher (P < 0.001) in patients having MetS as compared with control group. Conclusions: Similar trend was observed in gender wise analysis of serum MMP level. Higher MMP level alteration observed in male patients as compared with female patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES About 2-5% of HIV-1-infected subjects, defined as long-term non-progressors (LTNPs), remain immunologically stable for a long time without treatment. The factors governing this condition are known only in part, and include genetic factors. Thus, we studied 20 polymorphisms of 15 genes encoding proinflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokines, chemokines and their receptors, genes involved in apoptosis, and the gene HCP5. METHODS We analyzed 47 Caucasian LTNPs infected for >9 years, compared with 131 HIV-1-infected Caucasian patients defined as 'usual progressors'. The genotypes were determined by methods based upon PCR, and the statistical analysis was performed by univariate logistic regression. RESULTS The well-known CCR5Δ32 del32 allele, the cell death-related TNF-α-238 A and PDCD1-7209 T alleles, and HCP5 rs2395029 G, a non-coding protein associated with the HLA-B*5701, were found positively associated with the LTNP condition. No association was observed for other single nucleotide polymorphisms (SDF-1-801, IL-10-592, MCP-1-2518, CX3CR1 V249I, CCR2V64I, RANTES-403, IL-2-330, IL-1β-511, IL-4-590, FASL IVS3nt-169, FAS-670, FAS-1377, FASL IVS2nt-124, PDCD1-7146, MMP-7-181, and MMP7-153). CONCLUSIONS The novel genetic associations between allelic variants of genes TNF-α-238 and PDCD1-7209 with the LTNP condition underline the importance of host genetic factors in the progression of HIV-1 infection and in immunological preservation.
