Refractory angina pectoris (RAP) is a specific subtype of coronary artery disease (CAD). Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] and its induced coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) play an important role in pathogenesis of RAP, but its metabolism was mostly genetically determined. The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) is involved in lipid metabolism and microvascular homeostasis and becomes a promising target for the management of Lp(a) and its related RAP.
To investigate associations of KATP variants with hyperlipoprotein(a)emia, CMD, and RAP in patients with CAD.
DESIGN, PATIENTS, SETTINGS: A total of 1148 newly diagnosed patients with CAD were prospectively selected and divided into control (Lp(a) < 180 mg/dL) and case (Lp(a) ≥ 180 mg/dL, hyperlipoprotein(a)emia) group.
9 KATP variants were genotyped by MassARRAY system. The expression profile of exosome-derived microRNAs (exo-miRs) was identified by next-generation sequencing, and the expression levels of differentially expressed exo-miRs were evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR in verification cohort.
Three KATP variants were associated with increased risk of hyperlipoprotein(a)emia in patients with CAD as follows: rs2285676 (AA + GA genotype, adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 1.44; 95% CI, 1.10-1.88; P = 0.008), rs1799858 (CC genotype, adjusted OR = 1.33; 95% CI, 1.03-1.73; P = 0.030), and rs141294036 (CC genotype, adjusted OR = 1.43; 95% CI, 1.10-1.87; P = 0.008). Only rs141294036 was associated with increased risk of CMD (CC genotype, adjusted OR = 1.62; 95% CI, 1.23-2.13; P = 0.001), and further with increased RAP risk (CC genotype, adjusted hazard ratio = 2.05; 95% CI, 1.22-3.43; P = 0.007) after median follow-up of 50.6 months. Between the 2 genotypes of rs141294036, 152 exo-miRs were significantly differentially expressed, but only 10 exo-miRs (miR-7110-3p, miR-548az-5p, miR-214-3p, let-7i-5p, miR-218-5p, miR-128-3p, miR-378i, miR-625-3p, miR-128-1-5p, and miR-3187-3p) were further confirmed in patients with RAP with hyperlipoprotein(a)emia and CMD.
KATP rs141294036 may serve a potential genetic marker for hyperlipoprotein(a)emia, CMD, and RAP in patients with CAD.
难治性心绞痛(RAP)是冠状动脉疾病(CAD)的一种特殊亚型。脂蛋白(a)[Lp(a)]及其诱导的冠状动脉微血管功能障碍(CMD)在RAP的发病机制中起重要作用,但其代谢大多由基因决定。三磷酸腺苷(ATP)敏感性钾通道(KATP)参与脂质代谢和微血管稳态,成为治疗Lp(a)及其相关RAP的一个有前景的靶点。
研究CAD患者中KATP变异与高脂蛋白(a)血症、CMD和RAP的相关性。
设计、患者、研究地点:前瞻性选取1148例新诊断的CAD患者,分为对照组[Lp(a)<180mg/dL]和病例组[Lp(a)≥180mg/dL,高脂蛋白(a)血症]。
采用MassARRAY系统对9个KATP变异进行基因分型。通过下一代测序鉴定外泌体衍生的微小RNA(exo-miRs)的表达谱,并在验证队列中通过定量逆转录聚合酶链反应评估差异表达的exo-miRs的表达水平。
3个KATP变异与CAD患者高脂蛋白(a)血症风险增加相关,如下:rs2285676(AA+GA基因型,校正比值比[OR]=1.44;95%可信区间[CI],1.10-1.88;P=0.008),rs1799858(CC基因型,校正OR=1.33;95%CI,1.03-1.73;P=0.030),以及rs141294036(CC基因型,校正OR=1.43;95%CI,1.10-1.87;P=0.008)。仅rs141294036与CMD风险增加相关(CC基因型,校正OR=1.62;95%CI,1.23-2.13;P=0.001),在中位随访50.6个月后,进一步与RAP风险增加相关(CC基因型,校正风险比=2.05;95%CI,1.22-3.43;P=0.007)。在rs141294036的两种基因型之间,152个exo-miRs有显著差异表达,但在伴有高脂蛋白(a)血症和CMD的RAP患者中仅10个exo-miRs(miR-7110-3p、miR-548az-5p、miR-214-3p、let-7i-5p、miR-218-5p、miR-128-3p、miR-378i、miR-625-3p、miR-128-1-5p和miR-3187-3p)得到进一步验证。
KATP rs141294036可能是CAD患者高脂蛋白(a)血症、CMD和RAP的潜在遗传标志物。
