Correlation between platelet-derived growth factor-B gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease.

ABSTRACT:

Object

The aim of the present work was to investigate the correlation of plasma platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB level and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP, rs1800817 and rs2285094) of PDGF-B gene with the onset and stability condition of coronary heart disease (CHD).

Methods

Totally, 335 subjects were included in and divided into CHD (n = 247) and control group (n = 88) according to coronary angiography. Besides, the patients in the CHD group were divided into acute coronary syndrome (ACS) group (n = 165) and stable angina pectoria (SAP) group (n = 82), based on CHD stability condition. The plasma PDGF-BB level was measured by ELISA, and the genotype of PDGF-B was examined through qPCR assay.

Results

The PDGF-BB level was positively correlated with hsCRP level (r = 0.149, p < 0.05). The genotype frequencies of SNP rs1800817 and rs2285094 match Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. There was weak linkage disequilibrium between SNP rs1800817 and rs2285094: D' = 0.419, r²  = 0.04, which has no correlation with CHD. There was no statistical difference in plasma PDGF-BB level among different genotypes in rs1800817 and rs2285094. There were no differences in the plasma PDGF-BB level among patients with any genotype of SNP rs1800817 and rs2285094, no matter how it was grouped. Logistic regression results indicated that the plasma PDGF-BB level was the independent risk factor of CHD onset (OR = 1.003, 95% CI 1.001-1.006, p = 0.014).

Conclusions

High plasma PDGF-BB level is the risk factor of CHD and has correlation with instability of CHD. The plasma PDGF-BB level change may be related to inflammatory response. PDGF-B gene rs1800817 and rs2285094 polymorphisms are not correlated with CHD.
