Abstract

Background

Matrix Gla protein (MGP) is one of the important proteins inhibiting vascular calcification (VC). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the promoter and coding regions of the MGP gene affect the transcriptional activity. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the SNPs and progression of VC in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).

Methods

This was a retrospective, longitudinal cohort study of 134 MHD patients whose VC could be followed by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) examinations. MGP-SNPs (T-138C, rs1800802 and G-7A, rs1800801) were determined. The progression speed of VC was examined by plotting the abdominal aortic calcium volume scores.

Results

The progression speed of VC of patients with the CC genotype of T-138C was significantly slower than that of patients with the CT or TT genotype. Multiple regression analysis showed that CT/TT genotype, greater age at the beginning of MHD, male sex, high levels of calcium × phosphate, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low levels of ferritin and non-use of angiotensin II receptor blockers were significantly associated with progression of VC.

Conclusions

The MGP-138CC genotype may be associated with slower progression of VC in MHD patients. The genotype of the MGP gene will be a genomic biomarker that is predictive of VC progression.

Klimaschutz beginnt bei der Wahl des Inhalators

14.05.2024 Klimawandel Podcast

Auch kleine Entscheidungen im Alltag einer Praxis können einen großen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz leisten. Die neue Leitlinie zur "klimabewussten Verordnung von Inhalativa" geht mit gutem Beispiel voran, denn der Wechsel vom klimaschädlichen Dosieraerosol zum Pulverinhalator spart viele Tonnen CO2. Leitlinienautor PD Dr. Guido Schmiemann erklärt, warum nicht nur die Umwelt, sondern auch Patientinnen und Patienten davon profitieren.
