چکیده

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE ANRIL encodes a long antisense noncoding RNA in the INK4 locus. Although ANRIL has been proven to be associated with coronary heart disease, its roles in stroke are inconsistent, and sparse data are available regarding hemorrhagic stroke. METHODS A Chinese case-control study was conducted, comprising 1657 cases (724 atherothrombosis, 466 lacunar infarction, and 462 hemorrhagic strokes) and 1664 controls. Stroke patients were prospectively followed-up for a median of 4.5 (range, 0.1-6.0) years. Expression of ANRIL transcripts was examined in 42 human atherosclerotic plaques. RESULTS After adjustment for vascular risk factors and correction for multiple comparisons, subjects carrying the GG genotype of rs10757278 had 1.47-fold (95% CI, 1.11-1.89; P=0.05) and 1.60-fold (95% CI, 1.16-2.15; P=0.04) increased risk for atherothrombotic and hemorrhagic strokes, respectively. During the follow-up, 317 recurrent strokes and 301 deaths from all causes were documented. Subjects carrying rs10757278GG had higher risk for stroke recurrence (relative risk [RR],1.56; 95% CI,1.15-2.12; P=0.005) and cardiovascular mortality (RR, 2.0; 95% CI, 1.26-3.18; P=0.003), respectively. Rs10757274 was also associated with stroke risk and recurrence. Family history of stroke further increased the stroke risk by 2.37-fold (95% CI, 1.38-4.06; P=0.01) and recurrent stroke risk by 2.45-fold (95% CI, 1.56-3.86; P<0.0001) respectively, when compared with those carrying none of G-alleles and without family history. Finally, rs10757278 was associated with differential expression of the ANRIL transcripts. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicated that the ANRIL may serve as a novel genetic marker for the risk of atherothrombotic and hemorrhagic stroke and their recurrence.

Variants in ANRIL gene correlated with its expression contribute to myocardial infarction risk

ANRIL (antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus), located at the 9p21.3 locus, has been known to be closely associated with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). To date, studies of the 9p21.3 variants on CAD risk mainly focus on the non-coding region of ANRIL. However, the biological significance of the variants on ANRIL promoter and exons is still unknown. Here we investigate whether t...

Functional analysis of the chromosome 9p21.3 coronary artery disease risk locus.

OBJECTIVE We have investigated the functional significance of conserved sequences within the 9p21.3 risk locus for coronary artery disease (CAD) and determined the relationship of 9p21.3 to expression of ANRIL and to whole genome gene expression. METHODS AND RESULTS We demonstrate that a conserved sequence within the 9p21.3 locus has enhancer activity and that the risk variant significantly i...

Chromosome 9p21 in ischemic stroke: population structure and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Sequence variants on chromosome 9p21.3 are implicated in coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction, but studies in ischemic stroke have produced inconsistent results. We investigated whether these conflicting findings were due to false-positive studies confounded by population stratification or false-negative studies that failed to account for effects specific to ...

Expression of Linear and Novel Circular Forms of an INK4/ARF-Associated Non-Coding RNA Correlates with Atherosclerosis Risk

Human genome-wide association studies have linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on chromosome 9p21.3 near the INK4/ARF (CDKN2a/b) locus with susceptibility to atherosclerotic vascular disease (ASVD). Although this locus encodes three well-characterized tumor suppressors, p16(INK4a), p15(INK4b), and ARF, the SNPs most strongly associated with ASVD are ∼120 kb from the nearest coding gen...
