Polymorphisms in endothelin system genes, arsenic levels and obesity risk.
2015
Background/objectivesObesity has been linked to morbidity and mortality through increased risk for many chronic diseases. Endothelin (EDN) system has been related to endothelial function but it can be involved in lipid metabolism regulation: Receptor type A (EDNRA) activates lipolysis in adipocytes, the two endothelin receptors mediate arsenic-stimulated adipocyte dysfunction, and endothelin system can regulate adiposity by modulating adiponectin activity in different situations and, therefore, influence obesity development. The aim of the present study was to analyze if single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the EDN system could be associated with human obesity.Subjects/methodsWe analyz…
The systemic lupus erythematosus IRF5 risk haplotype is associated with systemic sclerosis.
2013
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a fibrotic autoimmune disease in which the genetic component plays an important role. One of the strongest SSc association signals outside the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region corresponds to interferon (IFN) regulatory factor 5 (IRF5), a major regulator of the type I IFN pathway. In this study we aimed to evaluate whether three different haplotypic blocks within this locus, which have been shown to alter the protein function influencing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) susceptibility, are involved in SSc susceptibility and clinical phenotypes. For that purpose, we genotyped one representative single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of each block (rs10488631, r…
Muscle-Related Polymorphisms (MSTN rs1805086 and ACTN3 rs1815739) Are Not Associated with Exceptional Longevity in Japanese Centenarians
2016
Myostatin (MSTN) and α-actinin-3 (ACTN3) genes are potentially associated with preservation of muscle mass and oxidative capacity, respectively. To explore the possible role of these genes in exceptional longevity (EL), the allele/genotype frequency distribution of two polymorphisms in MSTN (rs1805086, K153R) and ACTN3 (rs1815739, R577X) was studied in Japanese centenarians of both sexes (n = 742) and healthy controls (n = 814). The rs1805086 R-allele (theoretically associated with muscle mass preservation at the expense of oxidative capacity) was virtually absent in the two groups, where genotype distributions were virtually identical. Likewise, no differences in allele (p = 0.838 (women);…

Polimorfismo del gene ACE:gene della longevità o fattore di rischio nella patologia ipertensiva
2012
Negli ultimi decenni l’allungamento della vita media ha stimolato un particolare interesse nello studio dei processi dell’invecchiamento e nella ricerca di possibili geni coinvolti nella longevità. In particolare i centenari dimostrano di avere una prevalenza minore di malattie cardiovascolari e dei fattori di rischio ad essa correlati. L’enzima di conversione dell’angiotensina (ACE), presente in tutte le cellule endoteliali, gioca un ruolo essenziale nel mantenimento dell’omeostasi del flusso vascolare, regolando sia la produzione del vasocostrittore angiotensina II sia inattivando la bradichinina. In particolare alcuni studi hanno riportato una possibile correlazione tra il polimorfismo I…
Polimorfismo I/D del gene per l'enzima di conversione dell'angiotensina (ACE): gene della longevità o fattore di rischio nella patologia ipertensiva?
2013
In recent decades, the increase in life expectancy stimulated the study of aging processes and the search for candidate genes involved in longevity. The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE), present in all endothelial cells, plays an essential role in maintaining the homeostasis of blood flow by regulating the production of the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and inactivating the bradykinin. Some studies reported a possible association between the polymorphism I/D of ACE gene and either hypertension and longevity. The present study was aimed to confirm these data. We studied two large cohorts of nonagenarians and centenarians. One was from Sardinia (200 subjects, 88 males, mean age: 96 years)…

Cuantificación del calcio mineral en la ateromatosis carotídea mediante angiografía por tomografía computarizada: perfil evolutivo y relación con la …
2017
Antecedentes: La cuantificación y caracterización del calcio (Ca) mineral (hidroxiapatita) en la bifurcación carotídea con AngioTC, y su relación con la sintomatología neurológica, en un estudio preliminar de casos y controles (Miralles y cols. Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg 2006), constituye la base conceptual del presente estudio. Sus resultados, al igual que los de otras publicaciones, sugerían un posible papel protector del calcio en el desarrollo de eventos neurológicos. Sin embargo, su relación con la progresión de la ateromatosis carotídea ha sido escasamente analizado. Objetivos: Principales: 1. Diseñar un método de medición volumétrica de la ateromatosis (AE) carotídea y contenido de Ca …
Determinación de los polimorfismos del receptor de la Vitamina D en niños asmáticos alérgicos a los ácaros del polvo
2021
Durante los primeros años de vida, una alta proporción de niños, padecen síntomas respiratorios que pueden ser etiquetados de asma. La definición de asma infantil, mayormente aceptada por la comunidad científica, es la de episodios repetidos de «sibilancias recurrentes y/o tos persistente en una situación en la que el asma es probable y se han descartado otras enfermedades». Sin embargo, se trata de síntomas que pueden confundirse con otro tipo de patologías respiratorias que pueden llevar al retraso en el diagnóstico y por lo tanto al tratamiento. De ahí la necesidad de buscar alternativas diagnósticas que nos permitan detectar los inicios tempranos de esta enfermedad y poder actuar en con…
