The strong dose-dependent association between anthracyclines and cardiomyopathy is further exacerbated by the co-occurrence of cardiovascular risk factors (diabetes and hypertension). The high morbidity associated with cardiomyopathy necessitates an understanding of the underlying pathogenesis so that targeted interventions can be developed.
By using a two-stage design, we investigated host susceptibility to anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy by using the ITMAT/Broad CARe cardiovascular single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array to profile common SNPs in 2,100 genes considered relevant to de novo cardiovascular disease.
By using a matched case-control design (93 cases, 194 controls), we identified a common SNP, rs2232228, in the hyaluronan synthase 3 (HAS3) gene that exerts a modifying effect on anthracycline dose-dependent cardiomyopathy risk (P = 5.3 × 10(-7)). Among individuals with rs2232228 GG genotype, cardiomyopathy was infrequent and not dose related. However, in individuals exposed to high-dose (> 250 mg/m(2)) anthracyclines, the rs2232228 AA genotype conferred an 8.9-fold (95% CI, 2.1- to 37.5-fold; P = .003) increased cardiomyopathy risk compared with the GG genotype. This gene-environment interaction was successfully replicated in an independent set of 76 patients with anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy. Relative HAS3 mRNA levels measured in healthy hearts tended to be lower among individuals with AA compared with GA genotypes (P = .09).
Hyaluronan (HA) produced by HAS3 is a ubiquitous component of the extracellular matrix and plays an active role in tissue remodeling. In addition, HA is known to reduce reactive oxygen species (ROS) -induced cardiac injury. The high cardiomyopathy risk associated with AA genotype could be due to inadequate remodeling and/or inadequate protection of the heart from ROS-mediated injury on high anthracycline exposure.
蒽环类药物与心肌病之间存在强烈的剂量依赖性关联,而心血管危险因素(糖尿病和高血压)的共同发生进一步加剧了这种关联。心肌病相关的高发病率要求我们了解其潜在发病机制,以便开发有针对性的干预措施。
我们采用两阶段设计,使用 ITMAT/Broad CARe 心血管单核苷酸多态性(SNP)阵列来分析 2100 个与新发心血管疾病相关的基因中的常见 SNP,以此研究宿主对蒽环类药物相关心肌病的易感性。
通过使用匹配的病例对照设计(93 例病例,194 例对照),我们在透明质酸合酶 3(HAS3)基因中发现了一个常见的 SNP,rs2232228,该 SNP 对蒽环类药物剂量依赖性心肌病风险具有修饰作用(P = 5.3×10(-7))。在 rs2232228 GG 基因型个体中,心肌病罕见且与剂量无关。然而,在暴露于高剂量(>250mg/m(2))蒽环类药物的个体中,与 GG 基因型相比,rs2232228 AA 基因型使心肌病风险增加了 8.9 倍(95%CI,2.1 至 37.5 倍;P =.003)。这种基因-环境相互作用在另一组 76 例蒽环类药物相关心肌病患者中得到了成功复制。在健康心脏中测量的相对 HAS3 mRNA 水平在 AA 基因型个体中往往低于 GA 基因型个体(P =.09)。
透明质酸(HA)由 HAS3 产生,是细胞外基质的普遍成分,在组织重塑中发挥积极作用。此外,HA 已知可减少活性氧(ROS)诱导的心脏损伤。AA 基因型与高心肌病风险相关,可能是由于在高蒽环类药物暴露时,心脏的重塑不足和/或对 ROS 介导的损伤的保护不足所致。
