Association between functional polymorphisms in the promoter of the miR-143/145 cluster and risk of intracranial aneurysm

چکیده
MicroRNAs (miRs)-143/145 are involved in various biological processes related to aneurysm formation and are downregulated in patients with intracranial aneurysm (IA). We aimed to determine whether two functional polymorphisms (i.e. rs4705342 and rs4705343) in the promoter of miR-143/145 are related to IA risk. A case-control study was undertaken to examine the association of rs4705342 and rs4705343 with IA risk, including 565 patients with IA and 622 age- and gender-matched controls. rs4705342 was analysed by TaqMan Assay, and rs4705343 was genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. miR-143/145 expression was quantified using RT-PCR. rs4705342 was associated with a significantly lower risk of IA, with adjusted ORs of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.58-0.95) for TC genotype carriers and 0.74 (95% CI: 0.59-0.94) for TC/CC genotypes carriers. Individuals carrying the rs4705342 C allele had a reduced risk of IA (adjusted OR = 0.82; 95% CI: 0.68-0.98). Haplotype of the two loci of rs4705342 and rs4705343 showed that the CT haplotype carried a lower IA risk and higher miR-143 level. Moreover, the rs4705342 CC/CT genotypes were associated with higher miR-143 levels. Thus, the rs4705342C-rs4705343T haplotype in the promoter of miR-143/145 cluster may be related to IA development.

متن کاملA Functional Polymorphism in the Promoter of MiR-143/145 Is Associated With the Risk of Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Chinese Women
MiR-143/145 is down-regulated in cervical cancer, which may serve as a tumor suppressor by targeting KRAS and Ras-responsive element-binding protein (RREB1). Activated KRAS leads to down-regulation of miR-143/145 transcription in a RREB1-dependent manner, establishing a miR-143/145-KRAS-RREB1 feedback loop. A polymorphism rs4705343C/T in the promoter of miR-143/145 might influence the binding o...

The expression of miR-143/miR-145 was up-regulated in ischemic stroke (IS), which may be used as biomarkers and/or therapeutic targets for IS. We aimed to investigate the association of rs4705342 and rs4705343 polymorphisms in the promoter of miR-143/145 with risk of IS. The study population comprised 445 patients with IS and 518 controls. The rs4705342 genotype was analyzed by using a TaqMan A...
