Inflammatory Gene Haplotype-Interaction Networks Involved in Coronary Collateral Formation

Abstract: Objectives: Formation of collateral circulation is an endogenous response to atherosclerosis, and is a natural escape mechanism by re-routing blood. Inflammatory response- related genes underlie the formation of coronary collaterals. We explored the genetic basis of collateral formation in man postulating interaction networks between functional Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in these inflammatory gene candidates. Methods: The contribution of 41 genes as well as the interactions among them was examined … Show more

“…Different approaches have been undertaken to analyze the observed interaction effect [15], [16] between haplotypes or to investigate the presence of potential haplotypes interactions to partly explain the genetic variance in complex traits [17]. We tested our hypothesis under two different interaction models, a biological model that measures on an additive scale the risk difference between different exposures, and a statistical model on a multiplicative scale that considers the difference in the relative risk of a disease in the presence of both factors [18].…”

“…We and others have demonstrated the potential role of certain polymorphisms as factors associated with CCC [ 5 , 21 , 28 , 45 , 46 ], but usually they have not been validated in other cohorts of patients. In addition, SNPs may influence collateral development not only individually, but also when acting together with other SNPs, through gene haplotype networks, as demonstrated by the role of several inflammatory gene haplotype networks in CCC [ 65 ]. In conclusion, a validated SNP-based GWAS is needed to reveal and/or confirm the SNPs that predict coronary arteriogenic response.…”

“…Inflammatory processes are activated during collateral vessel development [16][17][18] with inflammatory cells, including T cells, monocytes and natural killer cells in areas of collateral growth. 1 Mechanical stress can promote myocardial production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α and IL-6.…”
