BACKGROUND/AIM: Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2) is reported to be overexpressed in asthma; however, its genotypic contribution to asthma is not well studied. Therefore, we examined the association of MMP2 genotypes with asthma risk among Taiwanese.
One hundred and ninety-eight asthma patients and 453 non-asthmatic subjects were determined with respect to their MMP2 -1306 (rs243845) and -735 (rs2285053) genotypes.
CT and TT at MMP2 rs243845 are 17.7% and 1.5% among asthma cases, whereas their presence in healthy subjects is at 28.1% and 2.4%, respectively (p for trend=0.0118). In detail, the CT genotype in MMP2 rs243845 was associated with a decreased asthma risk [adjusted odds ratio (OR)=0.57, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.37-0.78, p=0.0040], and the T allele conferred a significantly lower asthma risk compared to the wild-type C allele (adjusted OR=0.55, 95%CI=0.43-0.77, p=0.0042). No significance was found for MMP2 rs2285053.
The genotype of CT in MMP2 rs243845 may serve as a novel biomarker in determining susceptibility to asthma in Taiwan.
背景/目的:据报道,基质金属蛋白酶 2(MMP2)在哮喘中过表达;然而,其基因型对哮喘的贡献尚未得到充分研究。因此,我们研究了 MMP2 基因型与台湾人群哮喘风险的关系。
在 198 例哮喘患者和 453 例非哮喘患者中,检测了 MMP2 -1306(rs243845)和-735(rs2285053)基因型。
MMP2 rs243845 的 CT 和 TT 基因型在哮喘病例中的占比分别为 17.7%和 1.5%,而在健康受试者中的占比分别为 28.1%和 2.4%(趋势检验 p=0.0118)。具体而言,MMP2 rs243845 的 CT 基因型与哮喘风险降低相关[调整后的优势比(OR)=0.57,95%置信区间(CI)=0.37-0.78,p=0.0040],T 等位基因与野生型 C 等位基因相比,哮喘风险显著降低(调整后的 OR=0.55,95%CI=0.43-0.77,p=0.0042)。MMP2 rs2285053 则无显著意义。
MMP2 rs243845 的 CT 基因型可能成为确定台湾人群哮喘易感性的新型生物标志物。
