allele, genotype and haplotype structures of functional polymorphic variants in endothelial nitric oxide synthase (enos), angiotensinogen (ace) and aldosterone synthase (cyp11b2) genes in healthy pregnant women of indian ethnicity

چکیده

background: variants in the candidate genes enos, cyp11b2 and ace have been implicated as liable biomarkers that can predict complications like hypertension and preeclampsia. studies on the impact and distribution of these variants on healthy pregnancy have not been done so far in south indian or in any of the native indian population. examining these variants could lay a strong basis in understanding the genetic aspects of preeclampsia and further offer effective means in early risk assessment in a preeclampsia. methods: genotyping for 303 unrelated healthy women of tamilian origin who underwent uncomplicated term pregnancies was executed by pcr-rflp for enos, cyp11b2 and ace variants. haplotype assessment and pairwise linkage disequilibrium (ld) investigation were performed by haploview software. results: the prevalence of enos variants (-786t>c, glu298asp and intron 4 vntr) was 12%, 21.6% and 21.1%, respectively. the incidence of cyp11b2 (-344c>t) and ace (287 bp alu i/d) variants was found to be 43.8% and 42.7%. the observed frequencies of the studied polymorphisms did not diverge from the hwe (p>0.05). significant ld was observed between 3 enos gene polymorphisms. six different haplotype structures with a frequency of >1% were generated from three enos variants. among the haplotypes generated, the haplotype t-4b-g was the most common with the frequency of 64.4%. there was a statistically significant inconsistency in the study population in comparison to other global races. conclusion: the outcome of this study could be used for investigating future therapeutic value of the variants in a preeclamptic set-up which could pose a credible diagnostic potential for primary risk assessment of women susceptible to preeclampsia/other pregnancy related complications.

Effect of dexamethasone on the endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) genes expression during hepatic warm ischemia/reperfusion in rat

Background: Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI) is a multifactorial pathophysiologic process which can lead to liver damage and dysfunction. This study examined the protective effect of dexamethasone on the gene expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) and on the liver tissue damage during warm hepatic I/R. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 mal...

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression and localization in healthy and diabetic rat hearts.

Several studies suggest that nitric oxide (NO) production is reduced in diabetes and that the decrease of NO may be related to the pathogenesis of diabetic endothelial damage. NO synthase (NOS) catalyses the conversion of L-arginine to L-citrulline in the presence of oxygen and NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d). In this study, we evaluated the expression of endothelial NOS (eNOS) enzyme and its co-enz...

Association of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene G894T polymorphism with type two diabetes and diabetic nephropathy

Background: Nitric oxide (NO) produced by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) mediates a large range of processes, and abnormality in the production of NO has been implicated in diabetic complications including diabetic nephropathy (DN). G894T polymorphism in the eNOS gene has been shown to decreased activity the NO levels of plasma. The association between eNOS Glu298Asp gene polymorphism and DN ri...

Extensive Ethnogenomic Diversity of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) Polymorphisms

Nitric oxide (NO) is highly reactive, produced in endothelial cells by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) and has been implicated in sickle cell pathophysiology. We evaluated the distribution of functionally significant eNOS variants (the T786C variant in the promoter region, the Glu298Asp variant in exon 7, and the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in intron 4) in Africans, African American...
