RESUMO

It has been shown that NADPH oxidase plays a role in oxidative stress which hasbeen involved in the development of metabolic syndrome. The –930A/G polymorphismof the CYBA gene (that codes p22phox, a major component of the NADPHoxidase) has been associated with human hypertension and with a reduction inNADPH oxidase activity. In this work, we have examined the influence of the–930A/G polymorphism on obesity risk and insulin resistance in a case-controlstudy of Spanish subjects (n=313). In the obese group (n=159), there was a statisticallysignificant association between the GG genotype of the –930A/G polymorphismof the CYBA gene and fasting insulin levels and HOMA index. This outcomeagrees with previous findings concerning functional analyses of this polymorphismand reinforces the hypothesis that insulin resistance is associated with oxidativestress. In conclusion, a protective effect in carriers of the –930A/G polymorphism ofthe p22phox gene against insulin resistance in a population of Spanish obese adultshas been found (AU)

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: En el presente estudio se pretende evaluar la prevalencia de la mutación -866 G/A del gen de la UCP2 y conocer su influencia sobre el fenotipo de los niños (11- 12 años) navarros obesos. ANTECEDENTES Y ÁMBITO DEL ESTUDIO: La obesidad es una enfermedad de origen multifactorial, que puede estar relacionada con la presencia de mutaciones y polimorfismos en diversos genes candidatos. El gen de la proteína desacoplante UCP2 es uno de los más estudiados en relación con la obesidad porque parece participar en el control de la composición corporal y de diversos procesos metabólicos. Se han descrito tres polimorfismos en este gen: una inserción/deleción de 45 nucleótidos, un cambio del nucleótido guanina por adenina en la posición -866 y otro que origina un reemplazo de alanina por valina en el aminoácido 55. Según diferentes estudios, el alelo - 866G está relacionado con un mayor riesgo de desarrollar obesidad, aunque en la literatura aparecen resultados contradictorios en cuanto a esta asociación. SUJETOS: El estudio se llevó a cabo en 125 niños (52% varones) obesos de 11-12 años de edad, seleccionados a través de los Servicios de Endocrinología Pediátrica de la Clínica Universitaria y del Hospital Virgen del Camino (Pamplona), obteniendo el consentimiento informado de acuerdo con la declaración de Helsinki. INTERVENCIONES: Tras verificar el cumplimiento de los criterios de inclusión se tomaron medidas antropométricas (peso, talla, IMC, pliegue tricipital y subescapular) y se determinó el porcentaje de masa grasa por medio de impedancia bioeléctrica. Además se midieron los niveles plasmáticos de colesterol total, glucosa, insulina y leptina. Se procedió también a la extracción del ADN de las células sanguíneas de la serie blanca para determinar el genotipo mediante la técnica de PCR seguida de una digestión con BstUI y posterior visualización en un gel de agarosa con un 2% de bromuro de etidio. RESULTADOS: El análisis genético reveló una frecuencia del alelo A de 0,404, con un porcentaje de individuos G/G, G/A, y A/A del 40,0%, 39,2% y 20,8%, respectivamente. Los portadores del alelo A presentaron un valor significativamente mayor de la suma de los pliegues tricipital y subescapular (p=0,034). No se observaron diferencias significativas entre los sujetos mutados y los no mutados en cuanto a las variables bioquímicas estudiadas. CONCLUSIONES: Los sujetos portadores del polimorfismo presentan valores más altos para los pliegues tricipital y subescapular frente a los no mutados lo que podría indicar una relación entre la presencia del alelo A en niños obesos y niveles mayores de grasa subcutánea (AU)


OBJECTIVE: In the present study, our objectives were to evaluate the prevalence of -866G/A mutation of UCP2 gene and to study its influence on the phenotype of obese children (11-12 years old) from Navarra. BACKGROUND AND STUDY SETTING: Obesity is a disease with a multifactorial origin that may related be to the presence of mutations and polymorphisms in several candidate genes. The gene of the uncoupling protein UCP2 is one of the most studied ones in relation to obesity because it seems to participate in body composition and several metabolic processes control. Three polymorphisms have been described for this gene: an insertion/ deletion of 45 nucleotides, a nucleotide change of guanine for adenine in -866 position, an another change that replaces alanine for valine at amino acid position 55. According to several studies, the -866G allele is related to an increased risk of developing obesity, although the results are contradictory about this association in the literature. SUBJECTS: The study was carried out on 125 obese children (52% male), aged 11-12 years, selected through the Pediatric Endocrinology Departments of Clínica Universitaria and Hospital Virgen del Camino of Pamplona (Spain), the reported results on this association are contradictory. INTERVENTIONS: After checking the inclusion criteria, anthropometrical data (weight, height, BMI, tricipitaland subscapular skinfolds) were taken, and the percentage of fat mass was measured by bioelectrical impedance. Besides, plasma levels of total cholesterol, glucose, insulin,and leptin were measured. DNA was extracted from white blood cells to determine the genotype by PCR technique followed by BstUI digestion and furthervisualization in agarose gel with 2% ethidium bromide. RESULTS: The genetic analysis revealed a 0.404 frequency of the allele A, with a percentage of individuals G/G, G/A, and A/A of 40.0%, 39.2%, and 20.8%, respectively. Carriers of the A allele had a significantly higher sum of tricipital and subscapular folds (p = 0.034). No significant differences between mutant and non-mutant subjects with regard to the studied biochemical variables were observed. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects carrying the polymorphism present higher values of tricipital and subscapular skinfolds as compared to non-mutant subjects, which may indicate a relationship between the presence of the A allele in obese children and higher amounts of subcutaneous fat (AU)
