Our findings show that the 27-bp VNTR polymorphic locus, but not the c.894G>T polymorphic locus, is associated with CAD and that it may regulate NOS3 pre-mRNA splicing in a length-dependent manner.
Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were used to evaluate associations between endothelial nitric oxide synthase polymorphisms and coronary artery disease.
The association between an endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene polymorphism and coronary heart disease in young people and the underlying mechanism.
The OECs isolated from CAS and CAD exhibited significant decrease in the percentage of CD34+/CD45- population, OEC colony formation, OEC proliferation and OEC tubulogenesis, nitric oxide (NO) production, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) activity, and the phosphorylation level at Ser1177 of eNOS, compared with OECs isolated from control participants.
More recently, further genes in the pathway encoding the endothelial nitric oxide synthase, the phosphodiesterases 3A and 5A, and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor I-associated protein (IRAG), i.e., NOS3, PDE3A, PDE5A, and MRVI1, respectively, were likewise identified as CAD risk genes.
Several studies have evaluated the association between the G894T polymorphism located in an exon of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and the risk of premature CAD.
Association of the Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene T786C Polymorphism with In-Stent Restenosis in Chinese Han Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Treated with Drug-Eluting Stent.
Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to evaluate the association between NOS310G/T and G24943A polymorphisms as well as CAD risk.
The current study aimed to determine the association of NOS3rs1799983" genes_norm="4846">Glu298Asp (rs1799983) with CAD and blood lipid levels in Pakistani subjects.
These findings point to a role for NOS3 polymorphisms in CAD in the Chinese Han population, and may be useful for future investigations on the pathogenesis of CAD.
This study has identified a novel ethnic-specific gene-gene interaction and suggested that the combination of CETP B1 allele and eNOS 4a allele significantly increases the risk of CAD in Malays and Indians.
In this study, we investigated the association between -786T/C polymorphism of the endothelial nitric oxide (NOS3) gene in which thymidine is replaced by a cytosine at nucleotide -786 (rs 2070744) and coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in patients with stable coronary artery disease.
Age and CAD impair multiple functions of CACs and limit therapeutic potential for the treatment of MI. eNOS gene therapy in CACs from older donors or those with CAD has the potential to improve autologous cell therapy outcomes.
We investigated the association of the T-786C single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene (NOS3), which is characterised by reduced expression of the enzyme in response to shear stress or interleukin-10 stimulation and significantly associated with coronary heart disease or rheumatoid arthritis, with the occurrence of isolated polymyalgia rheumatica.
