ABSTRACT
Myocardial infarction (MI) is a frequent outcome of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the key factor contributing to worldwide disability and death. Genetic factors contribute to the pathogenesis of CAD/MI, and SNP rs6903956 in the ADTRP gene was first found associated with CAD/MI in the Chinese Han population, which was successfully replicated in other cohorts. However, whether rs6903956 is a functional SNP and its risk mechanism to CAD/MI remains unknown. The ADTRP gene-encoded androgen-dependent TFPI regulating protein regulates vascular endothelial cell function, endothelial-monocyte adhesion, and thrombosis. The allele A of rs6903956, in particular, is associated with lower ADTRP mRNA levels in lymphocytes. In the current study, we found that SNP rs6903956 exhibits allelic differences in transcriptional activity by interacting with GATA2. Also, the A allele conferred a greater risk of CAD and MI, lowered transcriptional activity, and GATA2 binding ability as compared to the G allele. Our findings provide details on how rs6903956 regulates the expression of ADTRP and may provide novel insights into CAD pathology and susceptibility.
