The cytochrome 11B2 aldosterone synthase gene (CYP11B2) that links to aldosterone synthase enzyme synthesis changes and blood pressure regulation is of particular interest among the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system encoding genes.
One-hundred hypertensive patients with target-organ damaging (2nd stage), moderate, high or very high cardiovascular risk were involved in the case-control study. Mean age was 59.87±8.02 years. Diabetes Mellitus type 2 (DM2) was in 28 persons. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was diagnosed in 29 persons according to the National Kidney Foundation recommendations (2012) after glomerular filtration rate (GFR) decline <60 ml/min/1.73m2 for ≥3 months (measured by CKD-EPI equations). Aldosterone, cystatin-C, and creatinine levels were measured in serum. Control group included 48 practically healthy persons of relevant age. Gene's nucleotide polymorphism CYP11B2 (-344C/T) was examined by polymerase chain reaction.
CKD evolution in hypertensive patients followed by higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) values increased creatinine, cystatin-C, and aldosterone serum concentrations by 28.76%, 28.41% and 29.43% (р<0.05), respectively. Polymorphic site of CYP11B2 (rs1799998) gene is associated with SBP and DBP increase (p<0.05), reduced GFR preferably calculated by CKDEPI-cystatin C (F=10.79-14.45; p<0.001) and elevated aldosterone content (F=55.84; p<0.001), creatinine and cystatin-С as well (F=4.16-5.08; p<0.05) mainly in the ТТ-genotype female carriers (p<0.001). Hypertensive women with DM2 demonstrated stronger relations of CYP11B2 gene polymorphic site with the increased aldosterone content (F=47.52; p<0.001), than women without DM2 (p<0.001) and male patients (p=0.014).
Genetic variations involving CYP11B2 might influence the kidney function, hypertension course, and severity via aldosterone secretion upregulation.
与醛固酮合酶酶合成变化和血压调节相关的细胞色素 11B2 醛固酮合酶基因(CYP11B2)是肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统编码基因中特别引人关注的一个。
本病例对照研究纳入了 100 名患有靶器官损害(2 期)、中度、高度或极高心血管风险的高血压患者。平均年龄为 59.87±8.02 岁。28 人患有 2 型糖尿病(DM2)。根据肾小球滤过率(GFR)下降<60 ml/min/1.73m2 持续≥3 个月(采用 CKD-EPI 方程测量),29 人被诊断为慢性肾脏病(CKD)。血清中测量了醛固酮、胱抑素-C 和肌酐水平。对照组包括 48 名年龄相匹配的健康人。通过聚合酶链反应检测 CYP11B2(-344C/T)基因的核苷酸多态性。
高血压患者的 CKD 进展导致收缩压和舒张压(SBP、DBP)值升高,血清中肌酐、胱抑素-C 和醛固酮浓度分别升高 28.76%、28.41%和 29.43%(p<0.05)。CYP11B2 基因(rs1799998)多态性位点与 SBP 和 DBP 升高(p<0.05)相关,CKDEPI-胱抑素 C 计算的肾小球滤过率(F=10.79-14.45;p<0.001)和醛固酮含量升高(F=55.84;p<0.001),以及肌酐和胱抑素-C(F=4.16-5.08;p<0.05),主要在 TT 基因型女性携带者中(p<0.001)。患有 2 型糖尿病的高血压女性与 CYP11B2 基因多态性位点与升高的醛固酮含量之间的关系更强(F=47.52;p<0.001),而不患有 2 型糖尿病的女性(p<0.001)和男性患者(p=0.014)。
涉及 CYP11B2 的遗传变异可能通过上调醛固酮分泌影响肾功能、高血压病程和严重程度。
