Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Polymorphisms and Incident Coronary Artery Disease

چکیده
Previous studies have yielded controversial results related to the contribution of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) -1306 C/T and -735 C/T polymorphisms in the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to provide strong evidence for the role of the 2 polymorphisms in genetic risk of CAD.The human case-control studies regarding the association of MMP-2 polymorphisms with CAD risk were systematically identified through online databases (PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and CNKI) and manual search. Inclusion criteria were defined for the eligible studies. The fixed-effects meta-analysis was performed to combine the values when homogeneity was indicated. Alternatively, the random-effects meta-analysis was utilized.A total of 2118 samples were analyzed in the meta-analysis of -1306 C/T. The odds ratio for the initially tested genetic model was 0.93 (95% confidence interval: 0.78-1.10 under TT + CT vs CC). The remaining comparisons similarly showed -1306 C/T genotypes were not significantly associated with the risk of CAD. We noted the same trend when data were retrained to myocardial infarction studies. Meta-analysis of -735 C/T suggested no clear association with the development of CAD.The results of the current work fail to support a significant involvement of MMP-2 -1306 C/T and -735 C/T polymorphisms in the risk of developing CAD.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess systematic differences between patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and patients with stable angina in matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) circulating levels and genetic polymorphisms. METHODS We identified adults in a large integrated health care delivery system whose initial clinical presentation of coronary disease was either an acute MI o...
متن کاملGenetic Polymorphisms of Estrogen Receptors in Iranian Women with Diabetes and Coronary Artery Disease
Estrogen might play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus type 2. Estrogens inhibit diabetes via distinct mechanisms particularly by reducing both hyperglycemia and plasma insulin levels. Estrogen exerts its physiological effects mainly through estrogen receptors including α and β types. Estrogen receptors are found in many tissues that participate in the pathogenesis of ty...
متن کاملMMP2 gene polymorphisms and MMP2 mRNA levels in patients with superficial varices of lower extremities.
BACKGROUND Although superficial varices of lower extremities with high morbidity are common, their etiology has not been elucidated yet. Previously, it was thought that venous hypertension was responsible for such cases by causing valvular insufficiency, but recent findings indicate that the changes in the venous wall structure might be main initiating factors. Matrix metalloproteinase enzyme-2...
متن کاملMatrix metalloproteinase-1 and tissue inhibitors do not predict incident coronary artery disease in the atherosclerosis risk in communities (ARIC) study.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs) are thought to be associated with coronary artery disease. The association of these markers with incident coronary artery disease has not been well described. Using a case-cohort design, we selected 216 individuals who had incident coronary artery disease (case group) and 225 individuals from a cohort ra...
متن کاملAllele-specific regulation of matrix metalloproteinase-7 promoter activity is associated with coronary artery luminal dimensions among hypercholesterolemic patients.
An enhanced expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-7 has previously been demonstrated in atherosclerotic and aneurysmal tissue. Because perturbed regulation of MMP-7 may influence the development of these diseases, we searched the MMP-7 promoter for functional polymorphisms. An A to G substitution at position -181 (-181 A/G) and a C to T substitution at position -153 (-153 C/T) with frequ...
