Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) may be a crucial regulator of cardiac remodeling. We investigated the association between the TGF-beta gene polymorphisms and left ventricular structure.
A total of 658 hypertensive subjects were genotyped for the TGF-beta1 T869C and TGF-beta3 (rs3917187 and rs4252338) polymorphisms.
TGF-beta3 rs3917187 AA homozygotes had, while accounting for covariates, greater left ventricular end-systolic (LVESD, P=0.004) and end-diastolic dimension (LVEDD, P=0.007) than G allele carriers. Moreover, left ventricular mass index (LVMI) in AA genotype was 123.0+/-3.1g/m(2) significantly higher than that in AG (114.6+/-1.6g/m(2)) and GG (115.4+/-2.1g/m(2), P=0.03) genotypes. In multivariate regression analysis, TGF-beta3 rs3917187 genotype as an independent predictor had statistically significant effects on LVESD (beta=0.164, P=0.002), LVEDD (beta=0.172, P=0.003) and LVMI (beta=0.136, P=0.016), respectively. In further analyses, we observed a significant interaction between the rs3917187 and alcohol intake in relation to LVESD (P(int)=0.04) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFSH, P(int)=0.012). However, no relationship could be found between left ventricular parameters and the T869C or the rs4252338.
The present results demonstrated that the TGF-beta3 rs3917187 polymorphism was associated with left ventricular structure, and had an interactive influence with alcohol on LVESD and LVFSH in hypertensive subjects.
转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)可能是心脏重构的关键调节因子。我们研究了 TGF-β 基因多态性与左心室结构之间的关系。
共对 658 例高血压患者进行 TGF-β1 T869C 和 TGF-β3(rs3917187 和 rs4252338)多态性基因分型。
TGF-β3 rs3917187 AA 纯合子在考虑协变量后,左心室收缩末期(LVESD,P=0.004)和舒张末期(LVEDD,P=0.007)均大于 G 等位基因携带者。此外,AA 基因型的左心室质量指数(LVMI)为 123.0+/-3.1g/m(2),显著高于 AG(114.6+/-1.6g/m(2))和 GG(115.4+/-2.1g/m(2),P=0.03)基因型。在多元回归分析中,TGF-β3 rs3917187 基因型作为独立预测因子对 LVESD(β=0.164,P=0.002)、LVEDD(β=0.172,P=0.003)和 LVMI(β=0.136,P=0.016)具有统计学意义。在进一步的分析中,我们观察到 rs3917187 与饮酒之间存在显著的交互作用,与 LVESD(P(int)=0.04)和左心室缩短分数(LVFSH,P(int)=0.012)有关。然而,在高血压患者中,T869C 或 rs4252338 与左心室参数之间没有关系。
本研究结果表明,TGF-β3 rs3917187 多态性与左心室结构有关,并且与高血压患者的 LVESD 和 LVFSH 与饮酒之间存在交互影响。
