Association of sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3 genetic polymorphisms with avascular necrosis of the femoral head in the Chinese population

Background Sterol regulatory element binding protein （SREBP）-2 plays a key role in lipid homeostasis by stimulating gene expression of cholesterol biosynthetic pathways. The insulin-like growth factor binding protein （IGFBP） family regulates growth and metabolism, especially bone cell metabolism, and correlates with osteonecrosis. However, association of their gene polymorphisms with risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head （ANFH） has rarely been reported. We determined whether SREBP-2 and IGFBP-3 gene polymorphisms were associated with increased ANFH risk in the Chinese population. Methods Two single nucleotide polymorphisms of SREBP2 gene, rs2267439 and rs2267443, and one of IGFBP-3 gene, rs2453839, were selected and genotyped in 49 ANFH patients and 42 control individuals by direct sequencing assay. Results The frequencies of rs2267439 TT and rs2267443 GA of SREBP2 and rs2453839 TT and CT of IGFBP-3 in the ANFH group showed increased and decreased tendencies （against normal control group）, respectively. Interaction analysis of genes revealed that the frequency of carrying rs2267439 TT and rs2267443 GA genotypes of SREBF-2 in ANFH patients was significantly higher than in the control group （P 〈0.05）. Association analysis between polymorphisms and clinical phenotype demonstrated that the disease course in ANFH patients with the rs2453839 TT genotype of IGFBP-3 was significantly shorter than that of CT＋CC carriers （P 〈0.01）. CT＋CC genotype frequency in patients with stage Ill/IV bilateral hip lesions was significantly higher than in those with stage Ill/IV unilateral lesions and stage II/111 bilateral lesions （P 〈0.05-0.02）. Conclusions Our results suggested that interaction of SREBP-2 gene polymorphisms and the relationship between the polymorphisms and clinical phenotype of IGFBP-3 were closely related to increased ANFH risk in the Chinese population. The most significant finding was that the CT＋CC genotype carriers of IGFBP-3 rs2453839 were highly associated with the development of ANFH.

SREBP-2基因1784G>C位点多态性与血清脂质水平变化的关系

目的:为探讨固醇调节元件结合蛋白-2(SREBP-2)基因1784G>C位点多态性与高胆固醇血症人群膳食干预效果的关系。方法:从北京市西城区8个社区居民中筛出110名高胆固醇血症患者,按所在社区随机分为干预组(64人)和对照组(46人),对两组人群进行血脂谱水平检测、膳食调查、体格检查及SREBP-2基因1784G>C位点多态性检测(PCR-RFLP方法),并对干预组进行为期6个月的膳食干预。结果:与对照组相比,干预组干预后膳食结构趋向合理,血清TC、LDL-C和HDL-C水平明显下降(P<0.05),且SREBP-2基因1784G>C位点GG基因型携带者TC和LDL-C水平降低幅度大于GC/CC基因型。结论:本研究初步得出SREBP-2基因1784G>C位点多态性可部分解释高胆固醇血症人群膳食干预易感性的差异,但仍需进一步证实。

中国汉族胆固醇调节元件结合蛋白-2基因多态性与高脂血症的关系

目的 了解胆固醇调节元件结合蛋白 2 (SREBP 2 )基因 1784G >C位点多态性在中国汉族人群中的分布情况及其与高脂血症的关系。方法 选取北京市西城区 32 2名高脂血症患者作为病例组 ,同时选择16 4名血脂正常者作为对照组 ,对所有对象均进行血脂谱项目测定及SREBP 2基因 1784G >C位点多态性检测 (PCR RFLP方法 )。结果 高脂血症组和正常对照组 1784位点C等位基因频率分别为 19 6 %和 2 0 1% ,差异无显著性 ,GG、GC和CC三种基因型构成两组间差异亦无显著性 (P >0 0 5 )。各组GG基因型和GC CC基因型间血脂水平差异无显著性 (P >0 0 5 )。按血清TC和TG水平将高脂血症分为高TC血症、高TG血症和混合型高脂血症三个亚组后比较不同基因型血脂水平时发现 ,高TC血症组 1784C等位基因携带者血清TC和LDL C水平明显高于无 1784C等位基因者 ,差异有显著性 (P <0 0 5 )。结论 提示SREBP 2基因 1784G>C位点多态性可能主要影响高胆固醇血症患者血清TC和LDL C水平 ,与血清TG无关 ;C等位基因可能是高胆固醇血症和动脉粥样硬化的危险因素。
