Functional analyses of coronary artery disease associated variation on chromosome 9p21 in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Variation on chromosome 9p21 is associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). This genomic region contains the CDKN2A and CDKN2B genes which encode the cell cycle regulators p16(INK4a), p14(ARF) and p15(INK4b) and the ANRIL gene which encodes a non-coding RNA. Vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis which causes CA...
متن کاملCoronary artery disease-associated locus on chromosome 9p21 and early markers of atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies have recently identified a locus on chromosome 9p21 that influences risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). The effect of the locus on early markers of atherosclerosis is unknown. We examined its association with carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and brachial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). METHODS AND RESULTS We genotyped 2277 individuals, age 24...
متن کاملAssociation of variation in the chromosome 9p21 locus with myocardial infarction versus chronic coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND A chromosome 9p21 locus is associated with coronary heart disease in 25 independent populations, but multiple clinically distinct phenotypes have been evaluated. Using angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD) phenotyping, this study evaluated whether 9p21 single-nucleotide polymorphisms predict ischemic events (eg, myocardial infarction [MI]) among CAD patients. METHODS AND RESUL...
متن کاملMethylation of p15INK4b and Expression of ANRIL on Chromosome 9p21 Are Associated with Coronary Artery Disease
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies have identified that multiple single nucleiotide polymorphisms on chromosome 9p21 are tightly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the mechanism linking this risk locus to CAD remains unclear. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The methylation status of six candidate genes (BAX, BCL-2, TIMP3, p14(ARF), p15(INK4b) and p16(INK4a)) in 205...
متن کامل3D Reconstruction of Coronary Artery Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells
AIMS The 3D geometry of individual vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), which are essential for understanding the mechanical function of blood vessels, are currently not available. This paper introduces a new 3D segmentation algorithm to determine VSMC morphology and orientation. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 112 VSMCs from six porcine coronary arteries were used in the analysis. A 3D semi-...
