Lower serum concentration of apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) is causally associated with heart failure (HF) risk. Adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels (KATP), as gating channels coupling vascular reactivity and metabolism with ischemic protection, become a new potential target of management for HF. The KATP gene sequence is highly polymorphic and has a high degree of genetic heterogeneity.
This work aimed to determine whether KATP variants predict the risks of decreased ApoA-I concentration and its related HF.
A total of 634 individuals, including 317 patients with decreased ApoA-I concentration (< 120 mg/dL) and 317 counterpart participants (≥ 120 mg/dL), were retrospectively selected. Five KATP variants were genotyped through the MassARRAY platform. Exosome-derived microRNAs (exo-miRs) expression profiles were identified by next-generation sequencing, and the top 10 differentially expressed (DE) exo-miRs were verified using quantitative polymerase chain reaction in a validation cohort of 240 individuals with decreased ApoA-I concentration.
KATP rs141294036 was related to an increased risk of lower ApoA-I levels (adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.95, P = .002) and HF incidence (adjusted OR = 2.38, P = .009), especially heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF; adjusted OR = 2.13, P = .015). After a median 48.6-month follow-up, participants carrying the CC genotype of rs141294036 were associated with an elevated HF rehospitalization risk (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.91, P = .005). Thirty-six exo-miRs were significantly DE between different genotypes of rs141294036 in participants with lower ApoA-I levels, but only 5 exo-miRs (miR-31-5p, miR-126-5p, miR-106a-5p, miR-378i, and miR-181c-5p) were further confirmed.
KATP rs141294036 was associated with increased risks of lower ApoA-I levels, HF incidence (especially HFpEF), and HF rehospitalization in those with the 5 confirmed exo-miRs and its related metabolic pathways.
载脂蛋白 A-I(ApoA-I)血清浓度降低与心力衰竭(HF)风险有关。三磷酸腺苷敏感性钾通道(KATP)作为与血管反应性和代谢相关的门控通道与缺血保护相关,成为 HF 管理的新潜在靶点。KATP 基因序列高度多态性,遗传异质性高。
本研究旨在确定 KATP 变异是否可预测 ApoA-I 浓度降低的风险及其相关 HF。
共纳入 634 例患者,包括 317 例 ApoA-I 浓度降低(<120mg/dL)患者和 317 例对照参与者(≥120mg/dL)。采用 MassARRAY 平台检测 5 种 KATP 变异。通过下一代测序鉴定外泌体衍生 microRNAs(exo-miRs)表达谱,并在 240 例 ApoA-I 浓度降低的验证队列中采用实时定量聚合酶链反应验证前 10 个差异表达(DE)的 exo-miRs。
KATP rs141294036 与较低的 ApoA-I 水平(校正比值比[OR]=1.95,P=.002)和 HF 发生率(校正 OR=2.38,P=.009)升高相关,尤其是射血分数保留性心力衰竭(HFpEF;校正 OR=2.13,P=.015)。中位随访 48.6 个月后,rs141294036 携带 CC 基因型的参与者 HF 再住院风险升高(校正危险比[HR]=1.91,P=.005)。在 ApoA-I 水平降低的参与者中,不同 rs141294036 基因型之间有 36 个 exo-miRs 差异表达,但只有 5 个 exo-miRs(miR-31-5p、miR-126-5p、miR-106a-5p、miR-378i 和 miR-181c-5p)得到进一步验证。
KATP rs141294036 与 5 种确认的 exo-miRs 及其相关代谢途径中具有较低 ApoA-I 水平、HF 发生率(尤其是 HFpEF)和 HF 再住院风险升高相关。
