Data on eNOS T786 and G894T polymorphisms and peripheral blood eNOS mRNA levels in Sickle Cell Disease

چکیده
In this article, we present data on endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) gene T786C and G894T polymorphisms in Greek steady-state Sickle Cell Disease patients in comparison to healthy controls. Moreover, eNOS mRNA levels were determined in peripheral blood samples from 18 patients and 9 controls. This article complements our recently published article named "Prognostic value of eNOS T786C and G894T polymorphisms in Sickle Cell Disease" (I. Armenis, V. Kalotychou, R. Tzanetea, Z. Kontogeorgiou, D. Anastasopoulou, M. Mantzourani, M. Samarkos, K. Pantos, K. Konstantopoulos, I. Rombos, 2016) [1].

ENOS-G894T polymorphism is a risk factor for essential hypertension in China.
Vascular endothelial cells produce nitric oxide (NO), which contributes to the regulation of blood pressure and regional blood flow. Polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene are associated with coronary artery disease; however, associations between polymorphism (G894T) of the eNOS gene and essential hypertension remain unclear. This study was designed to investigate th...
متن کاملPULMONARY VASCULAR MUSCLE PROLIFERATION AS A RESULT OF PROTEIN AND mRNA-eNOS ALTERATIONS IN A RAT MODEL OF CHF
Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase (eNOS) produces nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine and is important for the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis. Congestive heart failure (CHF) generally results in increased pulmonary blood flow and if untreated leads to pulmonary hypertension and end stage heart failure. We therefore hypothesized that increased pulmonary flow without changes in pres...
متن کاملAssociation 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...

AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of polymorphisms of the eNOS gene on the clinical status of patients with normal and high tension glaucoma. METHODS 266 Polish Caucasian patients with primary open angle glaucoma were studied. Of the 266, 156 had normal tension glaucoma (NTG) and 110 high tension glaucoma (HTG). DNA material was isolated from peripheral venous blood ...
متن کاملAssociation of Nitric Oxide Levels and Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase G894T Polymorphism with Coronary Artery Disease in the Iranian Population
PURPOSE The endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) G894T polymorphism has been reported to cause endothelial dysfunction and may have a role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of eNOS G894T genetic polymorphism and plasma levels of nitric oxide (NO) with CAD risk in an Iranian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS...
