Choi GH, Cho SH, An HJ, Park HS, Lee JY, Ko EJ, Oh SH, Kim OJ, Kim NK. Association between PAI-1 Polymorphisms and Ischemic Stroke in a South Korean Case-Control Cohort. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:8041. [PMID: 37175749 PMCID: PMC10178745 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24098041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/26/2023] [Indexed: 05/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Stroke is the second leading cause of death in the world. Approximately 80% of strokes are ischemic in origin. Many risk factors have been linked to stroke, including an increased level of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1). PAI-1 levels increase and remain elevated in blood during the acute phase of ischemic stroke, which can impair fibrinolytic activity, leading to coronary artery disease and arterial thrombotic disorders. Here, we present a case-control study of 574 stroke patients and 425 controls seen for routine health examination or treatment for nonspecific dizziness, nonorganic headache, or anxiety for positive family history of stroke at the Bundang Medical Center in South Korea. Polymorphisms in PAI-1 were identified by polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis using genomic DNA. Specifically, three variations (-675 4G>5G, 10692T>C, and 12068G>A) were linked to a higher overall prevalence of stroke as well as a higher prevalence of certain stroke subtypes. Haplotype analyses also revealed combinations of these variations (-844G>A, -675 4G>5G, 43G>A, 9785A>G, 10692T>C, 11053T>G, and 12068G>A) that were significantly associated with a higher prevalence of ischemic stroke. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first strong evidence that polymorphic sites in PAI-1 promoter and 3'-UTR regions are associated with higher ischemic stroke risk. Furthermore, the PAI-1 genotypes and haplotypes identified here have potential as clinical biomarkers of ischemic stroke and could improve the prognosis and future management of stroke patients.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the main endocrine and reproductive disorders affecting women in their reproductive age. The syndrome is considered a multifactorial pathology. Therefore, genetic susceptibility and environmental factors contribute to PCOS development and phenotypic manifestation. Ethnicity and socioeconomic factors influence the development of PCOS and could affect the possibility of its diagnosis. Latin America is a unique case of study because of the heterogeneity within the region, complex socioeconomic status, and the mixed ancestry found in these populations. Up-to-date, most studies have focused on developed countries' populations, and there is a lack of evidence regarding Latin-American countries. We propose to review the state of the art of PCOS knowledge regarding Latin American populations, including the metabolic and reproductive aspects of the syndrome and the different influencing factors, and suggest future directions to deepen the study of PCOS.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that 4G/5G polymorphism in promoter region of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene can affect insulin sensitivity by elevating the level and activity of plasma PAI-1. In order to elucidate the relationship between the polymorphism of PAI-1 gene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), we used transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) to study the family of PCOS. Eight hundred and fifty-five participants consisting of 285 trios (mother, father and offspring with PCOS) were recruited at the Center of Reproductive Medicine, Shandong University from July 2007 to August 2014. 4G/5G polymorphism of PAI-1 gene was genotyped using direct sequencing protocol and TDT was used to analyse the association between PAI-1 gene and PCOS. Though the 5G allele in PAI-1 gene was overtransmitted in families, no statistical significance existed and there was no association between PAI-1 gene and PCOS, indicating that PAI-1 gene was unlikely to play a major role in the aetiology of PCOS in Chinese population.Impact StatementWhat is already known on this subject? Some studies have shown that 4G/5G polymorphism in promoter region of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene can affect insulin sensitivity by elevating the level and activity of plasma PAI-1, participating in the formation of insulin resistance (IR).What do the results of this study add? Though the 5G allele in PAI-1 gene was overtransmitted in families, no statistical significance existed and there was no association between PAI-1 gene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? PAI-1 gene was unlikely to play a major role in the aetiology of PCOS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is the most frequent endocrinopathy in women of reproductive age. Machine learning (ML) is the area of artificial intelligence with a focus on predictive computing algorithms. We aimed to define the most relevant clinical and laboratory variables related to PCOS diagnosis, and to stratify patients into different phenotypic groups (clusters) using ML algorithms. METHODS Variables from a database comparing 72 patients with PCOS and 73 healthy women were included. The BorutaShap method, followed by the Random Forest algorithm, was applied to prediction and clustering of PCOS. RESULTS Among the 58 variables investigated, the algorithm selected in decreasing order of importance: lipid accumulation product (LAP); abdominal circumference; thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) levels; body mass index (BMI); C-reactive protein (CRP), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and insulin levels; HOMA-IR value; age; prolactin, 17-OH progesterone and triglycerides levels; and family history of diabetes mellitus in first-degree relative as the variables associated to PCOS diagnosis. The combined use of these variables by the algorithm showed an accuracy of 86% and area under the ROC curve of 97%. Next, PCOS patients were gathered into two clusters in the first, the patients had higher BMI, abdominal circumference, LAP and HOMA-IR index, as well as CRP and insulin levels compared to the other cluster. CONCLUSION The developed algorithm could be applied to select more important clinical and biochemical variables related to PCOS and to classify into phenotypically different clusters. These results could guide more personalized and effective approaches to the treatment of PCOS.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors that exert important functions in mediating the pleiotropic effects of diverse exogenous factors such as physical exercise and food components. Particularly, PPARs act as transcription factors that control the expression of genes implicated in lipid and glucose metabolism, and cellular proliferation and differentiation. In this review, we aim to summarize the recent advancements reported on the effects of lifestyle and food habits on PPAR transcriptional activity in chronic disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by hyperandrogenism, amenorrhea, and polycystic ovaries. This endocrinopathy is associated with many metabolic disorders such as dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, with increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular complications. Inflammation is likely to play an important role in the promoting these metabolic imbalances, while prothrombotic and pro-oxidative mechanisms further contribute to the cardiovascular risk of these patients. The etiology of PCOS is still not fully understood, but there is evidence of genetic and environmental components. This review aims to discuss some molecular pathways associated with PCOS that could contribute to the better understanding about this syndrome. Recent evidence suggests that intrauterine exposure of female mice to an excess of anti-Müllerian hormone may induce PCOS features in their post-natal life. High cytokine levels and cytokine gene polymorphisms also appear to be associated with the pathophysiology of PCOS. Furthermore, high levels of microparticles may contribute to the altered hemostasis and enhanced inflammation in PCOS. All these mechanisms may be relevant to clarify some aspects of PCOS pathogenesis and inspire new strategies to prevent the syndrome as well as treat its symptoms and mitigate the risk of long-term complications.

Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder in women of reproductive age. Besides hyperandrogenism, oligomenorrhea and fertility issues, it is associated with a high prevalence of metabolic disorders and cardiovascular risk factors. Several genetic polymorphisms have been identified for possible associations with cardiometabolic derangements in PCOS. Different PCOS phenotypes differ significantly in their cardiometabolic risk, which worsens with severity of androgen excess. Due to methodological difficulties, longer time-scale data about cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in PCOS and about possible beneficial effects of different treatment interventions is missing leaving many issues regarding cardiovascular risk unresolved.

Abstract
Normal pregnancy is a state of hypercoagulability with diminishing fibrinolytic activity, which is mainly caused by an increase of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1). PAI-1 is the main inhibitor of plasminogen activators, including tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA). In human placentas, PAI-1 is expressed in extravillous interstitial trophoblasts and vascular trophoblasts. During implantation and placentation, PAI-1 is responsible for inhibiting extra cellular matrix (ECM) degradation, thereby causing an inhibition of trophoblasts invasion. In the present study, we have reviewed the literature of various reproductive diseases where PAI-1 plays a role. PAI-1 levels are increased in patients with recurrent pregnancy losses (RPL), preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in the previous pregnancy, endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In general, an increased expression of PAI-1 in the blood is associated with an increased risk for infertility and a worse pregnancy outcome. GDM and PCOS are related to the genetic role of the 4G/5G polymorphism of PAI-1. This review provides an overview of the current knowledge of the role of PAI-1 in reproductive diseases. PAI-1 represents a promising monitoring biomarker for reproductive diseases and may be a treatment target in the near future.

Abstract
PURPOSE Several studies have reported that excessive amounts of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1) might increase the incidence of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS), but so far the published results were inconsistent. The aim of this study was to further investigate the association between PAI-1 gene polymorphism and the susceptibility to PCOS by performing a meta-analysis. METHODS A comprehensive literature search for relevant studies was conducted on google scholar, PubMed, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM). This meta-analysis was performed using the STATA 11.0 software and the pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) was calculated. RESULTS Ten case-control studies were included in this meta-analysis with a total of 2,079 cases and 1,556 controls. The results showed that PAI-1 -675 4G/5G polymorphism may increase the risk of PCOS, especially among Asian populations. However, there was no statistically significant association between the polymorphism and PCOS risk in Caucasians. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis suggests that PAI-1 -675 4G/5G polymorphism may contribute to increasing susceptibility to PCOS in Asians. Detection of the PAI-1 gene polymorphism might be a promising biomarker for the susceptibility of PCOS.
