Microsatellite polymorphism in promoter of heme oxygenase-1 gene is associated with susceptibility to coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetic patients.
Microsatellite polymorphism in promoter of heme oxygenase-1 gene is associated with susceptibility to coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetic patients.
Although potentially beneficial effects of the short HO-1 allele on lipid profile and serum bilirubin were observed, in contrast to Orientals, the HO-1 genotype was not associated with coronary artery disease in Caucasians.
The HO-1 gene GT dinucleotide repeat promoter polymorphism and HO-1+99G/C variant were evaluated in 199 patients with coronary artery disease after coronary stent implantation and control angiography at 6 months after the intervention.
This demonstration is the first showing that a physiologically inducible vector expressing of HO-1 genes improves the survival of stem cells in myocardial ischemia.
To test the hypothesis that the capacity to upregulate HO-1 in response to oxidative stress is an intrinsic marker for susceptibility to coronary atherosclerosis, we assessed stimulation-induced change in HO-1 expression in blood cells in 110 patients who underwent coronary angiography, comparing the results with the extent of coronary atherosclerosis and (GT)(n) repeat polymorphism in the HO-1 gene promoter region, which is believed to affect the gene expression level.
Serum bilirubin and ferritin levels link heme oxygenase-1 gene promoter polymorphism and susceptibility to coronary artery disease in diabetic patients.
The protein expression of heme oxygenase-1, hypoxia inducible factor-1alpha, and ubiquitin was significantly stronger in patients with coronary heart disease than in controls, and the expression levels increased with the severity of the disease.
A (GT)n dinucleotide repeat and a -413A>T single nucleotide polymorphism have been reported in the promoter region of HMOX1 to both influence the occurrence of coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction.
A functional GT-repeat polymorphism in the HO-1 gene promoter was inversely correlated to the development of coronary artery disease in diabetics and development of restenosis following angioplasty in patients.
Although a direct association between HO-1, vulnerable plaque development, and clinical outcome is for now missing, the correlations that have been reported for HO-1 and coronary artery disease point to a possible link.
A functional GT-repeat polymorphism in the heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene promoter is inversely correlated with the development of coronary artery disease and restenosis after clinical angioplasty.
In conclusion, the protective HO1 promoter polymorphism correlates with a lower coronary artery plaque burden, whereas the protective ENOS 894 G/T polymorphism seems to favourably influence changes of coronary artery plaque composition during statin therapy, but has no significant correlation to the magnitude of coronary atherosclerosis.
Short (GT) ( n ) repeats in heme oxygenase-1 gene promoter are associated with lower risk of coronary heart disease in subjects with high levels of oxidative stress.
We analyzed the allelic frequencies of guanosine thymidine dinucleotide repeats in the heme oxygenase-1 gene promoter in 386 patients with coronary artery disease recruited from January 1999 to July 2001 and followed until August 31, 2012.
Heme oxygenase-1 gene promoter polymorphisms are associated with coronary heart disease and restenosis after percutaneous coronary intervention: a meta-analysis.
