The association of single nucleotide polymorphisms of the maternal cystathionine-β-synthase gene with early-onset preeclampsia
چکیده انگلیسی


- The CBS SNP rs11203172 is associated with a decreased risk for early-onset PE.
- The CBS function might be increased in women with the minor allele for rs11203172.
- Women with the minor allele of rs234713 have lower plasma cysteine.
- Women with the minor allele of rs1789953 have lower plasma cysteine and cystathionine.

ObjectivesPreeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy complication, characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. The transsulfuration pathway may be involved in its pathophysiology, since homocysteine, cystathionine and cysteine are increased in PE. Cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) is a key-enzyme in the pathway, converting homocysteine into cysteine via cystathionine. Another product of CBS is hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a vasodilatory, proangiogenic and cytoprotective gas that is thought to play a role in placental and vascular function during pregnancy. Since single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) can affect CBS expression and/or function, we studied tag-SNPs in the CBS gene in PE patients.Study designControls (n = 75), early-onset (n = 45), and late-onset PE (n = 52) cases were genotyped for six tag-SNPs in the CBS gene; rs12329764, rs2851391, rs234713, rs234706, rs1789953, and rs11203172. Plasma homocysteine, cysteine and cystathionine were determined during pregnancy.Main outcome measuresEarly-onset PE, late-onset PE.ResultsWomen with the minor allele of rs11203172 have a reduced risk for early-onset PE. Compared to women without the minor allele, normotensive pregnant women with the minor allele of rs11203172 and rs234713 have lower cysteine levels. Women with the minor allele of rs1789953 have increased levels of cysteine and cystathionine, compared to women without.ConclusionThe CBS tag-SNP rs11203172 is associated with a decreased risk for early-onset PE. Decreased cysteine concentrations in normotensive pregnant women carrying the minor allele of rs11203172, may be due to increased cysteine conversion to H2S by CBS. Higher H2S levels may positively affect placentation and vascular function during pregnancy and decrease their risk for PE.
