چکیده
BACKGROUND Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is limited by the recurrence of luminal stenosis, which occurs in up to 50% of procedures. It has been shown that patient specific factors, perhaps genes, contribute to this process. OBJECTIVE To determine whether completion of healing after PTCA is part of an acute self limiting inflammatory process and whether polymorphism at important inflammatory gene loci might determine susceptibility to restenosis after PTCA. DESIGN DNA samples were collected from 171 patients attending for elective PTCA in Sheffield (S) and Leicester (L), who were scheduled to undergo follow up angiography (at four months (L) or six months (S)) as part of other restenosis studies. At follow up angiography, the patients were separated into restenosers (> 50% luminal narrowing) and non-restenosers (< 50% luminal narrowing). Four DNA polymorphisms within interleukin 1 (IL-1) related loci (IL-1A (-889), IL-1B (-511), IL-1B (+3954), and IL-1RN intron 2 VNTR (variable number tandem repeat)) were genotyped using methods based on polymerase chain reaction. Significance was assessed by chi(2) analysis of the relevant contingency table, and the magnitude of effect was estimated by calculating odds ratios. The Mantel-Haenszel (MH) test was applied to summarise data across the two populations. RESULTS Allele 2 at IL-1RN (IL-1RN*2) was significantly over represented in the non-restenoser group (L+S, 34% v 23% in restenosers). Furthermore, IL-1RN*2 homozygosity was increased in the non-restenoser population compared with the restenosers (MH test: p = 0.0196 (L+S); p = 0.031 (L+S, single vessel disease only), and the effect seemed to be restricted to the single vessel disease subpopulation. For other polymorphism within IL-1 related loci no significant associations were found with either restenosis or non-restenosis. CONCLUSIONS IL-1RN*2 may be associated with protection from restenosis after PTCA for individuals with single vessel disease. As this polymorphism has functional significance, this finding suggests that alteration in an individual's inflammatory predisposition may modulate the blood vessel response to injury.

The present study was designed to prospectively test the hypothesis that gene polymorphisms of the renin-angiotensin system are associated with recurrent restenosis after repeated percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty. Five hundred and eleven patients after first successful angioplasty were characterized with respect to the angiotensinogen M235T, angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion...

The aim of the present study was to test for possible associations between candidate gene polymorphisms and the risk of restenosis and recurrent restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) without stenting. We followed up 511 PTCA patients, and restenosis and recurrent restenosis were defined according to angiographical criteria. Genotyping of the beta-fibrinogen -455...
متن کاملAngiotensin II receptor antagonists prevent neointimal proliferation in a porcine coronary artery organ culture model.
OBJECTIVES Angiotensin II (AngII) generation in response to vascular injury has long been assumed to influence neointimal proliferation contributing to restenosis. This concept has been supported by evidence that ACE inhibition and AT1 receptor blockade effectively limits restenosis in the rat. On the other hand, ACE inhibition has proven ineffective in clinical trails. The present study examin...
متن کاملThe angiotensinogen gene 235T variant is associated with an increased risk of restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
The therapeutic benefit of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is limited by restenosis in 30-40% of patients. The underlying mechanisms are currently not well understood. Besides clinical and angiographic variables, genetic factors may be involved. In the present study, we investigated the associations between the angiotensinogen T174M and M235T, the angiotensin I-converting ...
متن کاملThe 5A/6A polymorphism of the stromelysin-1 gene and restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions.
AIMS Matrix metalloproteinase stromelysin-1 has been implicated in the process of exaggerated lumen re-narrowing after primarily successful interventions in coronary arteries. We examined the possibility that the 5A/6A promoter polymorphism of the stromelysin-1 gene is associated with restenosis after stenting or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). METHODS AND RESULTS The s...
