Association between genetic variations of mitochondrial isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH2) and acute myocardial infarction
Gene(2022)
摘要
Purpose
Mitochondrial isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH2) is a major contributor to cellular redox control. The aim of this study was to preliminary link IDH2 genetic variations to redox imbalance, atherogenesis and risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods
This case-control study included 120 AMI patients and 120 healthy controls. IDH2 genetic variations were tested using direct sequencing. IDH2 enzyme activity was measured spectrophotometrically. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Oxidized low density lipoproteins (ox-LDL) concentrations, as biomarkers of oxidative stress, were quantitated using ELISA.
Results
Four missense heterozygous mutations were detected within IDH2 gene. The variant forms of the enzyme showed a markedly reduced enzymatic activity (2.22 ± 0.56 mU/mL in wild type compared to 0.65 ± 0.35 mU/mL in mutant enzyme). IDH2 enzyme activity correlated negatively with MDA and ox-LDL concentrations (r = −80.875 and −0.891 respectively). There was a strong association between IDH2 mutations and elevated MDA and ox-LDL (rpb = 0.764 and 0.652, both p < 0.001). After adjustment of other risk factors, IDH2 genetic variations showed to be an independent risk factor for AMI (ß=1.792, p = 0.019).
Conclusions
The study proved that IDH2 genetic variations lead to impaired enzyme activity, redox imbalance, accumulation of lipid-peroxides and coronary atherogenesis. However, because such gene association has not been studied before, further studies are recommended.
