The excessive use of areca nut and/or tobacco may induce the production of free radicals and reactive oxygen species, which affect the lipid contents of the cell membrane and are possibly involved in tumorigenic processes in the oral cavity. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic efficacy of fenofibrate (0.1% or 0.3%, w/w), a ligand of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), in a 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4-NQO)/arecoline-induced oral cancer mouse model. The carcinogen, 4-NQO/arecoline, was administrated to C57BL/6JNarl mice for 8 weeks followed by fenofibrate treatment for 12 or 20 weeks. After 28 weeks, changes in serum lipids, the multiplicity of tumor lesions, and tumor sizes were determined together with changes in the immunohistochemical expressions of PPARα, acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACC), the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2). The results showed that when compared to the 4-NQO/arecoline only group, 0.3% fenofibrate treatment increased serum total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. 0.3% fenofibrate treatment suppressed the incidence rate of tongue lesions, reduced the multiplicity of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), decreased the tumor size, and increased the immunoreactivity of EGFR and COX2 in oral dysplasia but decreased EGFR and COX2 expressions in SCC. These findings indicated that fenofibrate reduced the tumor incidence rate and suppressed the tumor progression into SCC and that these molecular events might be linked to the EGFR and COX2 regulatory pathways. We suggest that fenofibrate provides a new strategy for preventing oral tumor progression. 相似文献

An infant with a clinical phenotype of early onset hypoaldosteronism has been screened for mutation analysis of the Cyp11b2 gene encoding aldosterone synthase enzyme. We have described a novel nonsense mutation in exon 3 (c.508C>T) that gave rise to a shorter protein (Q170X) and two known concurrent missense mutations (c.594A>C in exon 3 and c.1157T>C in exon 7) that led to substitution of glutamic acid for aspartic acid at amino acid position 198 (E198D) and of valine for alanine at amino acid position 386 (V386A). The father, who carried E198D plus V386A mutations, showed a fractional sodium excretion of 1.25% that was unmodified by dietary salt restriction, suggesting a mild haploinsufficiency. We examined by in silico analysis the effect of the mutations on the secondary and tertiary structures of aldosterone synthase to explain the inefficient enzymatic activity. The Q170X mutation produced a truncated protein, which was consequently associated with a loss of catalytic activity. As predicted by JPred web system and Dock 6.3 software, the concurrent expression of E198D and V386A mutations induced a significant secondary structure rearrangement and a shift of the heme group and the 18-hydroxycorticosterone substrate from their optimal placement. 相似文献

Liver fatty acid-binding protein (FABP1) serves as a key regulator of hepatic lipid metabolism, and polymorphisms within the FABP1 gene have been associated with several metabolic traits. To investigate the association between FABP1 polymorphisms and the risk of non-alcohol fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a Chinese population, the genotypes and haplotypes of FABP1 (rs2241883 T/C and rs1545224G/A) were determined in 553 patients with NAFLD and 553 healthy controls. The results showed that individuals with at least one copy of the rs2241883 C allele (TC or CC genotype) had an elevated risk for developing NAFLD (odds ratio [OR]=1.32, 95% CI: 1.01-1.71), and individuals with at least one copy of the rs1545224 A allele (GA or AA genotype) also had a significantly increased risk for NAFLD (OR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.14-2.02). Cumulative effect analysis of the two SNPs revealed that individuals with two risk genotypes were at significantly higher risk of NAFLD than those without risk genotype, and a significant trend of increased risk with increasing numbers of risk genotype was observed. Stratification analysis showed that the rs2241883 C allele carriers had higher level of LDL-C and the rs1545224 A allele carriers had higher level of FPG than those without this allele. In addition, haplotype analysis revealed that the one composed of the rs1545224 A and rs2241883 C variants was significantly associated with an increased risk for NAFLD (OR=1.34; 95% CI=1.05-1.40) compared to the GT haplotype. Taken together, the present study suggests that genetic variations within FABP1 influence susceptibility to NAFLD independently or jointly. 相似文献

Aims
Considering the key role played by the apolipoprotein E (Apo E) gene in the regulation of lipid metabolism and obesity, the current study has evaluate the association between abdominal obesity and Apo E gene polymorphism in a population of Tehran.Materials and methods
A cross-sectional study was performed on 345 men and 498 women, aged 19–86 years, selected from among participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. The RFLP-PCR technique was employed to investigate polymorphism in the gene fragments. Based on the national survey of risk factors for non-communicable diseases of Iran, waist circumference (WC) cut off was set at 89 cm for men and 91 cm for women. The risk effect of obesity related variables and lipid profiles in two groups of WC were examined by logistic regression. For body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), fasting blood sugar (FBS), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and blood pressure (BP), the standard risk cut-offs were applied.Results
Frequencies of E2, E3, and E4 alleles were 9.7, 73, and 14.6%, respectively. The presence of the E3 allele was significantly associated with higher TG level in subjects with high WC, while, the presence of E4 allele decreased the plasma HDL-C (E2:52.1 ± 13.1 vs., E3:48.9 ± 11.2 vs., E4:44.6 ± 10.6 mg/dl, p < 0.05), HDL-C2 (E2:20.4 ± 9.2 vs., E3:19.1 ± 8.8 vs., E4:16.3 ± 7.9 mg/dl, p < 0.05), and HDL-C3 (E2:32.1 ± 7.4 vs., E3:30.3 ± 6.2 vs., E4:28.3 ± 6.1 mg/dl, p < 0.05) in normal WC subjects. The presence of the E3 carrier increased the risk of having higher plasma TG, compared with the E2 carrier (95% CI OR = 1.91, 1.02–3.57; p = 0.04).Conclusion
According to the results of this study, the E3 carrier, caused an approximately 90% increase in the levels of TG in the group with abdominal obesity. 相似文献15.

Considering that the vitamin D receptor as well as the 1-α-hydroxylase enzyme that converts 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) to its active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D have been found in tissues throughout the body, it is likely that vitamin D is important for more than the calcium balance. Accordingly, low serum levels of 25(OH)D have been associated with mortality, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and obesity. Low serum levels of 25(OH)D have also been associated with an unfavourable lipid profile, which could possible explain the relation with cardiovascular disease and mortality. However, the relation between vitamin D and lipids have so far received little attention and is therefore the main focus of the present review. A PubMed search identified 22 cross-sectional studies where serum levels of 25(OH)D and lipids were related and that included a minimum of 500 subjects, and 10 placebo-controlled double-blind intervention studies with vitamin D where more than 50 subjects were included. In all the cross-sectional studies serum 25(OH)D was positively associated with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) resulting in a favourable low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (or total cholesterol) to HDL-C ratio. There was also a uniform agreement between studies on a negative relation between serum 25(OH)D and triglycerides (TG). On the other hand, the intervention studies gave divergent results, with some showing a positive and some a negative effect of vitamin D supplementation. However, none of the intervention studies were specifically designed for evaluating the relation between vitamin D and lipids, none had hyperlipemia as an inclusion criterion, and none were sufficiently powered. In only one study was a significant effect seen with an 8% (0.28 mmol/L) increase in serum LDL-C and a 16% (0.22 mmol/L) decrease in serum TG in those given vitamin D as compared to the placebo group. Accordingly, the effect of vitamin D supplementation on serum lipids is at present uncertain. Considering the numerous other promising vitamins and minerals that when properly tested have been disappointing, one should wait for the results of forthcoming vitamin D intervention studies before drawing conclusions on potential beneficial effects of vitamin D. 相似文献

Background
Associations between peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ2 (PPARγ2) gene polymorphism and metabolic syndrome risk remained controversial and ambiguous. Thus, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the association between Pro12Ala polymorphism in PPARγ2 gene and metabolic syndrome susceptibility.Methods
An electronic literature search was conducted on Medline, OVID, Cochrane Library database, and the China National Knowledge Internet up to March 2013. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to calculate the strength of association in the fixed or random effects model.Results
Ten studies involving a total of 4456 cases and 10343 controls were included in this meta-analysis. No statistical evidence of association was found between Pro12Ala polymorphism and metabolic syndrome risk in all genetic models (homozygote model: OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.62–1.12; heterozygote model: OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.94–1.14; dominant model: OR = 1.02, 95% CI = 0.93–1.12; recessive model: OR = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.62–1.11). No statistical evidence of significant association was observed when stratified by ethnicity, definition of metabolic syndrome, source of control groups and quality score of the selected articles. All in all, the results did not support a major role of the Pro12Ala variant of the PPARγ2 gene in metabolic syndrome risk.Conclusions
This meta-analysis suggested that the effect of Pro12Ala polymorphism in PPARγ2 gene may not be related to metabolic syndrome as an entity. However, Pro12Ala may affect the single component of metabolic syndrome. A large, well designed study is required to more adequately assess the role for Pro12Ala polymorphism on metabolic syndrome. 相似文献20.
