Functional analysis of 5-lipoxygenase promoter repeat variants.
Variants of a hexanucleotide repeat polymorphism in the promoter of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) gene have been associated with cardiovascular disease traits in humans, which may be due, at least in part, to differential expression of the at-risk alleles. To more fully characterize these variants, we carried out gene expression and DNA methylation studies in primary leukocytes from healthy individ...
متن کاملFunctional Analysis of four LDLR 5′UTR and promoter variants in patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterised by increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels. The functionality of four novel variants within the LDLR 5′UTR and promoter located at c.-13A>G, c.-101T>C, c.-121T>C and c.-215A>G were investigated using in silico and in vitro assays, and a systemic bioinformatics analysis of all 36 rep...
متن کاملArachidonate 5-lipoxygenase promoter genotype, dietary arachidonic acid, and atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators generated from arachidonic acid (polyunsaturated n-6 fatty acid) by the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase. Since atherosclerosis involves arterial inflammation, we hypothesized that a polymorphism in the 5-lipoxygenase gene promoter could relate to atherosclerosis in humans and that this effect could interact with the dietary intake of competing 5-lipoxyge...
متن کاملArachidonate 5-lipoxygenase variants in atherosclerosis, obesity, and bone traits.
Atherosclerosis, Obesity, and Bone Traits To the Editor: I write regarding publications by Mehrabian et al1,2 appearing in Circulation Research and a subsequent publication by Kuhn et al3 appearing in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology. The key implication from the combination of these reports was that amino acid substitutions in arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (ALOX5) could account...
متن کاملAnalysis of the 5-lipoxygenase promoter and characterization of a vitamin D receptor binding site.
1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25(OH)(2)D(3)) and transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) potently induce 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) in myeloid cells. We analyzed vitamin D receptor (VDR) binding to putative vitamin D response elements within the 5-LO promoter and analyzed its function by reporter gene analysis. Binding of VDR and retinoid X receptor to the promoter region was shown in DNase I foot...
