Abstract

Aim: to reveal a relationship of single-nucleotide polymorphic variants of the genes of the natriuretic peptides, antioxidant defense systems and the endothelial function with the development of myocardial infarction. Patients and Methods: the study included 146 patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and maintained or moderately decreased left ventricular ejection fraction: 108 males and 38 females with a mean age of 57 (51; 64) years. The control group was composed of Kemerovo city residents without acute MI (n=300, 190 females and 110 males). To make the evaluation, genomic DNA was isolated from the peripheral blood by phenol- chloroform extraction according to the standard protocol. Real-time PCR method was used for genotyping. To conduct the study, 24 polymorphic variants of 14 genes (those of the natriuretic peptides, antioxidant defense systems and the endothelial function) were selected. Results: significant associations with the allelic variants of CBR1 and CBR3 genes (carbonyl reductase 1 and 3 genes) of the antioxidant defense system were found in the sample of studied patients with MI (not divided by gender or age). When the patients were divided by gender, the following associations were found: in males the single-nucleotide polymorphic variant (SNPV) genotypes CBR1 rs9024 and CBR3 rs1056892 had the protective effect against susceptibility to myocardial infarction (dominant inheritance pattern). It was demonstrated that allelic variants in the NPR2 gene (the gene of atrial natriuretic peptide receptor 2) comprised a risk factor for MI development. In females, a relationship between the assessed genetic factors and the MI development (dominant inheritance pattern) could be associated with SNPV genotypes NPR2 rs13288085 and rs7034957, CBR1 rs9024, and CBR3 rs1056892 which are characterized by the protective effect. Conclusion: some polymorphic variants of the genes of the natriuretic peptide and antioxidant defense systems are associated with the risk and the protective effect against MI susceptibility. The preliminary findings indicate that it is necessary to continue investigations of the identified single-nucleotide polymorphic variants and to assess their impact on the MI severity and the risk of recurrent cardiovascular events in the long-term perspective.
