ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The adipokine Chemerin and the retinoic acid receptor responder 2 (RARRES2) gene have been associated with an increased incidence of obesity, insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and coronary artery disease. The impact of RARRES2 rs17173608 gene polymorphism on acute myocardial infarction and Chemerin levels has not yet been entirely elucidated. This study aimed to assess the association of RARRES2 rs17173608 gene polymorphism and serum Chemerin with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and its risk factors in an Iranian population.METHODS:
In this case-control study, 134 AMI patients and 100 healthy controls were recruited from tertiary referral hospitals in Zanjan, Iran. Whole blood samples were collected for DNA extraction and Chemerin level determination. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to quantify plasma levels of Chemerin. Tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction and agarose gel electrophoresis techniques were used to detect gene polymorphism of Chemerin rs17173608 from DNA samples.RESULTS:
Serum Chemerin levels were higher in the control group than in the AMI group. However, after adjusting for age, sex, and other risk factors, there was no significant association between serum Chemerin level and AMI occurrence. In the genotype analysis, 21.6% of patients had the TT genotype, and 78.4% had the TG genotype. The GG genotype was not detected in any patient. The genotype distribution of the healthy control group was 19.0% TT genotype, 80.0% TG genotype, and 1.0% GG genotype. Serum Chemerin levels in participants with TG genotype were statistically different between case and control groups.CONCLUSION:
Serum Chemerin levels and RARRES2 rs17173608 gene polymorphism were not correlated with AMI occurrence after adjusting for AMI risk factors in Iranian patients. More research with a larger sample size and diverse ethnicities is needed to corroborate our findings.Palavras-chave
