Project description:BackgroundLipoprotein-related mechanisms have been associated with damage to the cardiovascular system in diabetic patients. Apolipoprotein E gene which affects the clearance of lipoproteins and consequently the lipid profile in our body is one of the most studied candidate genes and recently has been reported to be associated with T2DM and CAD. In this work, we studied the association of apoE gene polymorphism with T2DM and CVD and its effect on plasma lipids profile.MethodsOur study was conducted on 284 subjects categorized into 100 patients with T2DM, 100 patients with T2DM complicated with CVD and 84 normal control subjects. ApoE gene polymorphism was genotyped by real-time PCR using TaqMan(®) SNP Genotyping Assay.ResultsApoE E3/E3 genotype was the most common in our subjects. The frequencies of E3/E4 genotype and ε4 allele were increased in both T2DM patients and CVD patients as compared with controls, but were significant only in CVD patients (p = 0.004 and 0.007, respectively). Diabetic patients who carried E3/E4 genotype were at 2.4-fold increased risk to develop CVD (95 % CI 1.14-5.19, P = 0.02) and the ε4 allele associated with 2.23-fold higher CVD risk (95 % CI 1.09-4.59, P = 0.02). After adjustment for other established risk factors, E3/E4 genotype was an independent risk factor for CVD (OR = 2.3, p = 0.009) but not for T2DM (OR = 1.7, p = 0.28), while ε4 allele was an independent risk factor for both T2DM (OR = 2.2, p = 0.04) and CVD (OR = 3.0, p = 0.018) with 5.9-fold increased risk to develop CVD in T2DM patients (p = 0.019). E3/E4 genotype associated with significantly higher levels of TC and non HDL-C in all groups and with significantly higher levels of LDL-C in both T2DM and CVD patients.ConclusionsApoE gene polymorphisms associate with CVD and affect the lipid profile. The ε4 allele is an independent risk factor for both T2DM and CVD. Further genetic studies to add information beyond the traditional cardiovascular risk factors in T2DM and to identify risk genotypes will help in early prediction and identification of at risk patients.

Project description:Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation (AF). The MMP9 promoter has a functional polymorphism rs3918242 that can regulate the level of gene transcription. This study recruited 200 AF patients and 240 controls. The MMP9 rs3918242 was examined by polymerase chain reactions. HL-1 atrial myocytes were cultured and electrically stimulated. Right atrial appendages were obtained from six patients with AF and three controls with sinus rhythm undergoing open heart surgery. The MMP9 expression and activity were determined using immunohistochemical analysis and gelatin zymography, respectively. Rapid pacing induces MMP9 secretion from HL-1 myocytes in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The responsiveness of MMP9 transcriptional activity to tachypacing was significantly enhanced by rs3918242. The expression of MMP9 was increased in fibrillating atrial tissue than in sinus rhythm. However, the distribution of rs3918242 genotypes and allele frequencies did not significantly differ between the control and AF groups. HL-1 myocyte may secrete MMP9 in response to rapid pacing, and the secretion could be modulated by rs3918242. Although the MMP9 expression of human atrial myocyte is associated with AF, our study did not support the association of susceptibility to AF among Taiwanese subjects with the MMP9 rs3918242 polymorphism.

Project description:Studies have demonstrated that polymorphic variants of arginase 1 gene (ARG1) are involved in human diseases, such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes. Our study aimed to investigate the association between ARG1 rs2781666 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients. Polymorphism was genotyped in 740 T2DM patients and 400 healthy individuals. A significant difference in the genotype distribution was observed between the patients and the controls. The T allele and TT genotype were associated with an increased risk of T2DM (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.14-1.72, p = 0.001 and OR 2.16, 95% CI 1.23-3.80, p = 0.007, respectively). When the T2DM subjects were stratified into DR+ and DR- subgroups, the T allele and TT genotype frequencies were significantly higher in the DR+ group compared to the DR- group, demonstrating OR 1.68 (1.33-2.12), p < 0.0001 and OR 2.39 (1.36-4.18), p = 0.002, respectively. Logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the interaction between the ARG1 genotypes and other risk factors. Only ARG1 rs2781666 SNP was a significant risk predictor of DR (p = 0.003). In conclusion, this is the first report discussing the effect of ARG1 polymorphism on the microvascular complications that are associated with diabetes. Our findings demonstrate that ARG1 rs2781666 SNP is significantly associated with an increased susceptibility to DR in T2DM patients.

Project description:Aims/hypothesisRetinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4), originally known for retinol transport, was recently identified as an adipokine affecting insulin resistance. The RBP4 -803GA promoter polymorphism influences binding of hepatic nuclear factor 1alpha and is associated with type 2 diabetes in case-control studies. We hypothesised that the RBP4 -803GA polymorphism increases type 2 diabetes risk at a population-based level. In addition, information on retinol intake and plasma vitamin A levels enabled us to explore the possible underlying mechanism.MethodsIn the Rotterdam Study, a prospective, population-based, follow-up study, the -803GA polymorphism was genotyped. In Cox proportional hazards models, associations of the -803GA polymorphism and retinol intake with type 2 diabetes risk were examined. Moreover, the interaction of the polymorphism with retinol intake on type 2 diabetes risk was assessed. In a subgroup of participants the association of the polymorphism and vitamin A plasma levels was investigated.ResultsHomozygous carriers of the -803A allele had increased risk of type 2 diabetes (HR 1.83; 95% CI 1.26-2.66). Retinol intake was not associated with type 2 diabetes risk and showed no interaction with the RBP4 -803GA polymorphism. Furthermore, there was no significant association of the polymorphism with plasma vitamin A levels.Conclusions/interpretationOur results provide evidence that homozygosity for the RBP4 -803A allele is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes in the Rotterdam population. This relationship was not clearly explained by retinol intake and vitamin A plasma levels. Therefore, we cannot differentiate between a retinol-dependent or -independent mechanism of this RBP4 variant.

Project description:Risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) are well-established in type 2 but not type 1 diabetes (T1DM). We assessed risk factors in the long-term (mean 27 years) follow-up of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) cohort with T1DM. Cox proportional hazards multivariate models assessed the association of traditional and novel risk factors, including HbA1c, with major atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (MACE) (fatal or nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI] or stroke) and any-CVD (MACE plus confirmed angina, silent MI, revascularization, or congestive heart failure). Age and mean HbA1c were strongly associated with any-CVD and with MACE. For each percentage point increase in mean HbA1c, the risk for any-CVD and for MACE increased by 31 and 42%, respectively. CVD and MACE were associated with seven other conventional factors, such as blood pressure, lipids, and lack of ACE inhibitor use, but not with sex. The areas under the receiver operating characteristics curves for the association of age and HbA1c, taken together with any-CVD and for MACE, were 0.70 and 0.77, respectively, and for the final models, including all significant risk factors, were 0.75 and 0.82. Although many conventional CVD risk factors apply in T1DM, hyperglycemia is an important risk factor second only to age.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: This review aimed to comprehensively assess the literature examining a possible link between the rs1801133 polymorphism (677C ? T) in the gene encoding the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Several research databases were systematically searched for studies examining the genotype at the rs1801133 polymorphism in healthy control individuals and individuals with type 2 DM. Genotype frequency data were examined across all studies and across subsets of studies according to ethnicity and presence of serious DM-related complications. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS: A total of 4855 individuals with type 2 DM and 5242 healthy controls from 15 countries comprising Asian, Caucasian and African ethnicities were found to satisfy the inclusion criteria and included in the review. Genotype at the rs1801133 polymorphism was not consistently associated with either increased or reduced risk of type 2 DM; the OR across all studies was 0.91 (95%CI 0.82 to 1.00) for the C- vs. T-allele, 0.88 (0.75 to 1.03) for CC vs. CT+TT, 0.82 (0.71 to 0.95) for CC vs. TT, and 1.15 (1.03 to 1.29) for TT vs. CC+CT. Similar results were found when the meta-analysis was repeated separately for each ethnic subgroup, and for subgroups with or without serious DM-related complications. CONCLUSIONS: There does not appear to be compelling evidence of an association between the genotype at the rs1801133 polymorphism of the MTHFR gene and risk of type 2 DM.

Project description:OBJECTIVE: Risk prediction models obtained in samples from the general population do not perform well in type 2 diabetic patients. Recently, 5-year risk estimates were proposed as being more accurate than 10-year risk estimates. This study presents a diabetes-specific equation for estimation of the absolute 5-year risk of first incident fatal/nonfatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) in type 2 diabetic patients with use of A1C and clinical characteristics. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: The study was based on 11,646 female and male patients, aged 18-70 years, from the Swedish National Diabetes Register with 1,482 first incident CVD events based on 58,342 person-years with mean follow-up of 5.64 years. RESULTS: This risk equation incorporates A1C, as in the UK Prospective Diabetes Study risk engine, and several clinical characteristics: onset age of diabetes, diabetes duration, sex, BMI, smoking, systolic blood pressure, and antihypertensive and lipid-reducing drugs. All predictors included were associated with the outcome (P < 0.0001, except for BMI P = 0.0016) with Cox regression analysis. Calibration was excellent when assessed by comparing observed and predicted risk. Discrimination was sufficient, with a receiver operator curve statistic of 0.70. Mean 5-year risk of CVD in all patients was 12.0 +/- 7.5%, whereas 54% of the patients had a 5-year risk >or=10%. CONCLUSIONS: This more simplified risk equation enables 5-year risk prediction of CVD based on easily available nonlaboratory predictors in clinical practice and A1C and was elaborated in a large observational study obtained from the normal patient population aged up to 70 years.

Project description:IntroductionSLC2A1 polymorphism may play a role in the smooth muscle cell proliferation and extracellular matrix synthesis in vessels. However, the role of SLC2A1 polymorphism on diabetic cardiovascular disease (CVD) have not yet been identified. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between SLC2A1 HaeIII polymorphism and CVD in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) according to disease duration.MethodsA total of 846 patients with T2DM who visited the Chungbuk National University Hospital were investigated. The HaeIII polymorphism of SLC2A1 gene was determined by real time polymerase chain reaction method. Genotyping results were presented GG, AG, or AA. Subgroup analysis was performed according to duration of T2DM (⩽10, 11-20, >20 years).ResultsThe AA genotype was significantly associated with higher prevalence of CVD in patients with DM duration less than 10 years (26.3% vs 9.2%, p = 0.014). There was no significant association between SLC2A1 HaeIII polymorphism and other diabetic complications including, retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease.ConclusionsThe SLC2A1 HaeIII polymorphism was associated with CVD in Korean patients with T2DM with short disease duration.

Project description:A number of disease management strategies have been developed in the last decade to reduce cardiovascular (CV) risk in adults with type 2 diabetes. On average such programs improve glycated hemoglobin (A1c) only 0.5%, and often have little or no effect on blood pressure (BP) control or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) control, which are critically important CV risk factors. In a large randomized Medicare demonstration program, diabetes disease management programs were unable to recover fees through cost savings to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Service (CMS). Available data suggest several strategies to improve the effectiveness and reduce the cost of diabetes disease management:
