Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in developing as well as developed countries. Life style choices, particularly tobacco smoking, have been implicated as the main cause in the development of the LC. Despite the fact that majority cases of the LC occur among smokers, only 1–15% of smokers develop LC. In the present study, we have explored the role of genetic polymorphism, smoking habit and their association to LC in a cohort of north Indian population. The polymorphic genes explored were CYP1A1, GSTM1, GSTP1 and GSTT1 using techniques of Polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), Real Time PCR (RT PCR), and gene sequencing. Genetic polymorphism was analysed in 253 normal participants (control) and 93 LC patients originating from Lucknow, India. Data were compared using odds ratio and Fisher Exact Test. We found that smoking increases the susceptibility to LC threefold (OR = 2.9; 95% CI: 0.9–2.8). The most significant risk for LC (OR = 3.2; 95% CI: 0.7–3.8) was found in the association of the homozygous variant of CYP1A1 gene at A2455G base change at Exon 7 (Val/Val) genotype. There was a marginally significant association between LC and GSTT1 null genotype (OR = 1.3; 95% CI: 1.0–1.7) while no significant risk association was found between GSTP1 polymorphism and LC. The present study demonstrates that the presence of null genotype of GSTM1/GSTT1 taken together with CYP1A1 (Val/Val) genotype increases the susceptibility to LC eightfold in comparison to CYP1A1 (Ile/Ile) and GSTM1/ GSTT1 genotype. 相似文献

Heat shock cognate 70 (HSC70/HSPA8) is considered to be a promising candidate gene for schizophrenia (SCZ) due to its many essential functions and potential neuroprotective properties in the CNS (e.g., HSC70 is involved in the turnover of the synaptic proteins, synaptic vesicle recycling, and neurotransmitter homeostasis). An alteration in the expression of HSPA8 in SCZ has been reported. This implies that the genetic variants of HSPA8 might contribute to schizophrenia pathogenesis. The present study attempted to determine whether HSPA8 polymorphisms are associated with a susceptibility to schizophrenia or whether they have an impact on the clinical parameters of the disease in a Polish population. A total of 1066 participants (406 patients and 660 controls) were recruited for the study. Five SNPs of the HSPA8 gene (rs2236659, rs1136141, rs10892958, rs1461496, and rs4936770) were genotyped using TaqMan assays. There were no differences in the allele or genotype distribution in any of the SNPs in the entire sample. We also did not find any HSPA8 haplotype-specific associations with SCZ. A gender stratification analysis revealed that an increasing risk of schizophrenia was associated with the rs1461496 genotype in females (OR: 1.68, p < 0.05) in the recessive model. In addition, we found novel associations between HSPA8 SNPs (rs1136141, rs1461496, and rs10892958) and the severity of the psychiatric symptoms as measured by the PANSS. Further studies with larger samples from various ethnic groups are necessary to confirm our findings. Furthermore, studies that explore the functional contribution of the HSPA8 variants to schizophrenia pathogenesis are also needed. 相似文献

AimsLate phase ischemic preconditioning (LPC) protects the heart against ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, its effect on myocardial tissue oxygenation and related mechanism(s) is unknown. The aim of the current study is to determine whether LPC attenuates post-ischemic myocardial tissue hyperoxygenation through preserving mitochondrial oxygen metabolism.Main methodsC57BL/6 mice were subjected to 30 min coronary ligation followed by 60 min or 24 h reperfusion with or without LPC (3 cycles of 5 min I/5 min R): Sham, LPC, I/R, and LPC + I/R group. Myocardial tissue Po2 and redox status were measured with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy.Key findingsUpon reperfusion, tissue Po2 rose significantly above the pre-ischemic level in the I/R mice (23.1 ± 2.2 vs. 12.6 ± 1.3 mm Hg, p < 0.01). This hyperoxygenation was attenuated by LPC in the LPC + I/R mice (11.9 ± 2.0 mm Hg, p < 0.01). Activities of NADH dehydrogenase (NADH-DH), succinate-cytochrome c reductase (SCR) and cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) were preserved or increased in the LPC group, significantly reduced in the I/R group, and conserved in the LPC + I/R group. Manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) protein expression was increased by LPC in the LPC and LPC + I/R mice compared to that in the Sham control (1.24 ± 0.01 and 1.23 ± 0.01, p < 0.05). Tissue redox status was shifted to the oxidizing state with I/R (0.0268 ± 0.0016/min) and was corrected by LPC in the LPC + I/R mice (0.0379 ± 0.0023/min). Finally, LPC reduced the infarct size in the LPC + I/R mice (10.5 ± 0.4% vs. 33.3 ± 0.6%, p < 0.05).SignificanceThus, LPC preserved mitochondrial oxygen metabolism, attenuated post-ischemic myocardial tissue hyperoxygenation, and reduced I/R injury. 相似文献

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent angiogenic growth factor that has been shown to play a significant role in neovascularization during inflammation in atherosclerotic plaques, formation of collateral vessels to an area of ischemic myocardium and neovascularization at the edges of a myocardial infarction during its repair. Interleukin-4 (IL-4) has important role in immune cell chemotaxis, formation of endothelial cell adhesion molecules and has numerous anti-inflammatory effects which prevent the complications of atherosclerosis, the primary cause of coronary heart disease (CHD). In this study, we have analyzed the effect of 1154 A/G polymorphism of VEGF and 70 bp VNTR polymorphism of intron 3 in IL-4 genes in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients (n = 300) and their age matched controls (n = 300). To analyze polymorphic alleles, ARMS-PCR and RFLP techniques were used. Multiple logistic regression analysis was carried out with statistical software. GG genotype was associated with a decreased risk of development of CHD (OR 0.22, 95% CI 0.12–0.38, P < 0.001). However, A allele showed an increased risk whereas G allele decreased the risk of CHD with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic mental stress and positive familial history of myocardial infarction (MI)/CHD. GG genotype was found to have protective effect with alcohol intake (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.14–0.82, P < 0.01) and central obesity (OR 0.15, 95% CI 0.04–0.56, P < 0.001). GG genotype of VEGF has also shown significant association with IL-4 (P2P2 and P1P2) genotypes. 相似文献

Intracranial aneurysm (IA) accounts for 85 % of haemorrhagic stroke and is mainly caused due to weakening of arterial wall. Lysyl oxidase (LOX) is a cuproenzyme involved in cross linking structural proteins collagen and elastin, thus providing structural stability to artery. Using a case–control study design, we tested the hypothesis whether the variants in LOX gene flanking the two LD block, can increase risk of aSAH among South Indian patients, either independently, or by interacting with other risk factors of the disease. SNPs were genotyped by fluorescence-based competitive allele-specific PCR (KASPar) chemistry. We selected 200 radiologically confirmed aneurysmal cases and 235 ethnically and age and gender matched controls from the Dravidian Malayalam speaking population of South India. We observed marked interethnic differences in the genotype distribution of LOX variants when compared to Japanese and African populations. However, there was no significant association with any of the LOX variants with IA. This study also could not observe any significant role of LOX polymorphisms in influencing IA either directly or indirectly through its confounding factors such as hypertension and gender in South Indian population. 相似文献

Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a common subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy that shows a complex pattern of inheritance. We have tested the association between JME phenotype and an intragenic marker in KCNQ3 by using the transmission disequilibrium test in 119 probands and their parents. Mutations in KCNQ3 are known to cause benign familial neonatal convulsions and are involved in the physiologically important M current in neurons. Our results provide suggestive evidence of allelic association between JME and KCNQ3 (P-value=0.008) and raise an interesting possibility of a genetic contribution to JME, viz., of a gene that causes a monogenic form of human epilepsy. 相似文献

Recurrent miscarriage (RM), defined as three or more consecutive losses before the 20th week of gestation, affects 0.5–2% of pregnant women. In over 80% of cases, RM remains unexplained after investigations, suggesting the involvement of genetic factors.Objectives
The present study investigates the common polymorphisms of chemokine receptors CCR5 (NG_012637.1:g.5303A>G) and CX3CR1 (NG_016362.1:g.21065C>T, Thr280Met and NG_016362.1:g.20971G>A, Val249Ile) and their association with recurrent miscarriages (RM) among north Indian women.Participants and Methods
In a retrospective case-control study 200 well characterized patients with unexplained RM and 300 controls were genotyped for three polymorphic markers of CCR5 and CX3CR1 by restriction digestion of PCR amplified fragments.Results
Alleles and genotypes of CX3CR1 Val249Ile revealed statistically significant associations with RM cases when compared with the controls. The homozygous variant genotype Ile/Ile was found to be significantly higher among patients (p = 0.0002) when compared with the homozygous wild type Val/Val genotype. The haplotype of CX3CR1 that carried major alleles of Thr280Met and Val249Ile (T-V) showed statistically significant protective association (p < 0.0001, OR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.31–0.54). The haplotype A-T-V (all wild type alleles) revealed a statistically significant protective association (p < 0.0001, OR = 0.41, 95% CI = 0.34–0.62), whereas the haplotypes G-T-I, A-T-I and A-M-V modified the risk of RM 1.9-fold, 5.5-fold and 5.1-fold respectively.Conclusions
A common polymorphism of CX3CR1 gene, Val240Ile is associated with the risk of RM in north Indian women. Risk of RM may also be modified by the presence of haplotypes T-I, M-V, G-T-I, A-T-I and A-M-V. 相似文献9.
Expression of hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) is altered in infection and inflammation. However, the role of Gram+ve bacterial components and their receptor, Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 in regulation of hepatic DMEs is unknown. Gene expression of DMEs is regulated by members of the nuclear receptor superfamily (PXR, CAR and RXRα). The TLR2 ligand, lipoteichoic acid (LTA) reduced RNA levels of CAR and its target genes, Cyp2b10, Cyp2a4 and Sultn in mouse liver (∼60-80% reduction). Hepatic genes regulated by PXR and CAR, Cyp3a11 and Mrp2 were moderately reduced by LTA, along with ∼50% reduction of PXR RNA and nuclear protein levels of RXRα. The effects of LTA were significantly attenuated by pre-treatment with the Kupffer cell inhibitor, gadolinium chloride, indicating that Kupffer cells contribute to LTA-mediated down-regulation of hepatic genes. These results indicate that treatment with Gram+ve bacterial components preferentially down-regulate CAR and its target genes in the liver. 相似文献

BACKGROUND:
Genetic variants of the organic cation transporter (OCT1) gene could influence interindividual variation in clinical response to metformin therapy. The genetic basis for the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of OCT1 gene has been established in other populations, but it remains to be elucidated in the Indian population. This study is focused on OCT1 gene variants rs2282143 (P341L, 1022C>T), rs628031 (M408V, 1222A>G) and rs622342 (1386C>A) frequency distributions in the South Indian Tamilian population.MATERIALS AND METHODS:
A total of 112 unrelated healthy subjects of South Indian Tamilian origin, aged 18–60 years, of either sex were recruited for the study. Genotyping was determined using the quantitative real time-polymerase chain reaction and polymerase chain reaction followed by restriction fragment length polymorphism methods.RESULTS:
Allele frequencies of rs2282143, rs628031and rs622342 polymorphisms were 8.9%, 80.3% and 24.5%, respectively. Interethnic differences in the genotype and allele frequencies of OCT1 gene polymorphism were observed when compared with other major populations. The SNPs rs2282143, T allele and rs628031, G allele were more common in Asians (5.5–16.8% and 76.2–81%) and African Americans (8.2% and 73.5%) than in Caucasians (0–2% and 57.4–60%).CONCLUSION:
This is the first time the frequency of OCT1 gene polymorphism was determined in the Indian population, and is similar to the frequencies observed in African-Americans and other Asian populations but different from those in Caucasians. The data observed in this study would justify further pharmacogenetic studies to potentially evaluate the role of OCT1 gene polymorphism in the therapeutic efficacy of metformin. 相似文献11.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a complex multi-factorial, polygenic disorder which results from an interaction between a person’s genetic makeup and various environmental factors. Nitric oxide (NO), a potent vasodilator produced by endothelial cells, plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure, regional blood flow and also inhibits platelet aggregation, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and leukocyte adhesion to vascular endothelium. Our aim was to analyze the association of NOS3 (endothelial nitric oxide synthase 3) 894G>T and ?786T>C gene polymorphisms and MI risk in the South Indian population. A total of 287 MI patients, 279 risk control patients and 321 healthy controls were recruited for the retrospective study. Genotyping was done using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). There was no significant association observed between NOS3 894G>T, ?786T>C polymorphisms and MI. A significant difference was observed in the distribution of GT genotype of the NOS3 894G>T polymorphism between the cases and the risk controls (p = 0.05) but the odds ratio (0.6) did not show risk for MI. The present study showed lack of association between NOS3 gene polymorphisms and MI in South Indian population. 相似文献

The association of IFN-γ (+ 874 A/T; rs2430561), TNF-α (− 308 G/A; rs1800629) and TNF-β (+ 252 A/G; rs909253) with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) has not been rigorously tested in Indian population. In the present study we sought to examine the role of these cytokines in the causation of CHD and their association with conventional CHD risk factors. A total of 138 case and 187 unrelated healthy controls aged 35 to 80 years, matched on ethnicity and geography were collected from North Indian Agrawal population. Single nucleotide polymorphisms at the promoter TNF-α − 308 G/A and the intronic IFN-γ + 874 A/T were analyzed by allele-specific PCR, and the intronic TNF-β + 252 A/G was analyzed by RFLP. Of the three selected polymorphisms, genotypic distribution of IFN-γ + 874 A/T and TNF-β + 252 A/G polymorphisms was significantly different between patients and controls in the present study. OR revealed statistically significant risk for CHD with respect to IFN-γ + 874 T allele, whereas OR for TNF-β + 252 A/G showed three fold risk in homozygous condition though not significant. No such trend could be observed for TNF-α − 308 G/A polymorphism. Multivariate logistic regression after adjusting for all the confounders showed significant risk for CHD with the genotypes and genotypic combinations of all the three markers (albeit not significant with TNF-α). Increased risk for CHD was likely to be associated with interaction of IFN-γ with diastolic hypertension, TNF-α with diabetes and BMI, and TNF-β with serum triglyceride and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels. The results suggest that these selected cytokine polymorphisms could possibly serve as potential bio-markers for CHD in conjunction with specific conventional risk factors. 相似文献

Introduction: NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and NRH:quinone oxidoreductase 2 (NQO2), involved in detoxification of environmental carcinogens and activation of chemotherapeutic agents, are supposed to play critical role in carcinogenesis. So, we aimed to investigate the association of NQO1 609C>T and NQO2 -3423G>A polymorphisms with susceptibility and prognosis of Esophageal cancer (EC) in north Indian population. We also performed Meta analysis of published literatures on NQO1 609C>T polymorphism to systematically evaluate its association with EC. Methods: We genotyped NQO1 609C>T and NQO2 -3423G>A polymorphisms in 200 incident EC cases (including 150 follow-up cases) and 200 controls using PCR RFLP based methods. Binary logistic regression was applied for risk estimation, while Kaplan Meier and Cox regression tests were applied for survival analysis. All Meta analysis tests were performed using MIX 2.0 software. Results: The present study did not find any significant association of NQO1 609C>T and NQO2 -3423G>A polymorphisms with susceptibility to EC or its clinical phenotypes (histopathology, tumor location or lymph node metastasis) or interactions with lifestyle risk factors (tobacco usage, smoking, alcohol habit and occupational exposures). Meta analysis of NQO1 polymorphism also indicated null association of the polymorphism with EC overall or with cancer cases stratified by tumor histopathology/ethnicity. Moreover, no prognostic implication of both polymorphisms was observed in EC. Conclusion: NQO1 609C>T and NQO2 -3423G>A polymorphisms do not seem to play any significant role in susceptibility or prognosis of EC in north Indian population and results of Meta-analysis further reinforces null association of NQO1 609C>T polymorphism with EC susceptibility. 相似文献

Absence of association between mannose-binding lectin gene polymorphisms and HIV-1 infection in a Colombian population 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a calcium-dependent lectin shown to play an important role in innate immunity to infection by activating the classical complement pathway and phagocytosis. In vitro studies have shown that MBL is able to bind to the gp120 HIV-1 surface antigen, and variants of the gene are associated with increased risk of HIV infection among Scandinavians. We investigated the association of genetic MBL variants and HIV-1 infection in 278 Colombian HIV-infected and control individuals. MBL genotype frequencies were similar for both groups, and no association was detected between MBL alleles B, C, and D and susceptibility to HIV-1 infection ( P=1.0). Since there is a well-documented link between the tested MBL alleles and very low MBL serum concentration, these results do not support the hypothesis that MBL levels are a risk factor for HIV-1 infection in Colombia. 相似文献

Reelin is an extracellular signaling glycoprotein, which plays a significant role in cytoarchitectonic pattern formation of different brain areas during development. Reelin gene is located on chromosome 7q22. The aim of this study is to investigate the possible association of the following reelin polymorphisms SNP Intron12A/C (rs727531), SNP Exon15A/G (rs2072403), SNP Intron15G/T (rs2072402), SNP Exon22c/g (rs362691), SNP Intron41G/T (rs362719) and SNP Intron59C/T (rs736707) in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer 's disease and the frequency of these polymorphisms in the population of Northern Greece. The study included two groups, A and B. Group A consisted of 50 patients with Alzheimer 's disease and group B of 70 healthy controls. Genomic DNA isolated from blood was used for PCR and subsequent RFLP analysis. According to our results, the exon 22 C/G marker of Reelin is significantly associated with Alzheimer 's disease in the Greek population but the Likelihood Ratio Test shows that the GT haplotype ++ this polymorphism does not affect the phenotype of group A in relation to Group B. This is the first report on a Greek population-based approach. 相似文献
