    • BackgroundFamily history of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been suggested to be more useful in risk assessment than thrombophilia testing. ObjectivesWe investigated established genetic susceptibility variants for association with VTE and evaluated a genetic risk score in isolation and combined with known trigger factors, including family history of VTE. Patients/MethodA total of 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) selected from the literature were genotyped in 2835 women participating in a Swedish nationwide case-control study (the ThromboEmbolism Hormone Study [TEHS]). Association with VTE was assessed by odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) using logistic regression. Clinical and genetic predictors that contributed significantly to the fit of the logistic regression model were included in the prediction models. SNP-SNP interactions were investigated and incorporated into the models if found significant. Risk scores were evaluated by calculating the area under the receiver-operating characteristics curve (AUC). ResultsSeven SNPs (F5 rs6025, F2 rs1799963, ABO rs514659, FGG rs2066865, F11 rs2289252, PROC rs1799810 and KNG1 rs710446) with four SNP-SNP interactions contributed to the genetic risk score for VTE, with an AUC of 0.66 (95% CI, 0.64-0.68). After adding clinical risk factors, which included family history of VTE, the AUC reached 0.84 (95% CI, 0.82-0.85). The goodness of fit of the genetic and combined scores improved when significant SNP-SNP interaction terms were included. ConclusionPrediction of VTE in high-risk individuals was more accurate when a combination of clinical and genetic predictors with SNP-SNP interactions was included in a risk score.

  • Plasma CD93 concentration is a potential novel biomarker for coronary artery disease
  • 2011
  • Ingår i: Journal of Internal Medicine. - : Wiley. - 0954-6820 .- 1365-2796. ; 270:3, s. 229-236
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objectives. A common nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CD93 gene (rs3746731, Pro541Ser) has been associated with risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). CD93 is a transmembrane glycoprotein, which is detectable in soluble form in human plasma. We investigated whether the concentration of soluble CD93 in plasma is related to risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and CAD, using a case-control study of premature MI (n = 764) and a nested case-control analysis of a longitudinal cohort study of 60-year-old subjects (analysis comprising 844 of 4232 subjects enrolled at baseline). In addition, SNPs in the CD93 gene were studied in relation to plasma CD93 concentration and CD93 mRNA expression. Methods and Results. A sensitive and specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was established for determination of the plasma CD93 concentration. Subjects were divided into three groups according to tertiles of the distribution of CD93 concentration. Lower odds ratios for risk of MI and incidence of CAD were observed in the middle CD93 tertile (142-173 mu g L(-1)): odds ratio (95% confidence interval), 0.69 (0.49-0.97) and 0.61 (0.40-0.94), respectively. These associations were independent of traditional CAD risk factors. The minor allele of a SNP in the 3' untranslated region of CD93(rs2749812) was associated with increased plasma CD93 concentrations (P = 0.03) and increased CD93 mRNA expression levels (P = 0.02). Conclusion. The results of the present study suggest that the concentration of soluble CD93 in plasma is a potential novel biomarker for CAD, including MI.

  • Identity-by-descent mapping in a Scandinavian multiple sclerosis cohort
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Human Genetics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1018-4813 .- 1476-5438. ; 23:5, s. 688-692
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • In an attempt to map chromosomal regions carrying rare gene variants contributing to the risk of multiple sclerosis (MS), we identified segments shared identical-by-descent (IBD) using the software BEAGLE 4.0's refined IBD analysis. IBD mapping aims at identifying segments inherited from a common ancestor and shared more frequently in case-case pairs. A total of 2106 MS patients of Nordic origin and 624 matched controls were genotyped on Illumina Human Quad 660 chip and an additional 1352 ethnically matched controls typed on Illumina HumanHap 550 and Illumina 1M were added. The quality control left a total of 441 731 markers for the analysis. After identification of segments shared by descent and significance testing, a filter function for markers with low IBD sharing was applied. Four regions on chromosomes 5, 9, 14 and 19 were found to be significantly associated with the risk for MS. However, all markers but for one were located telomerically, including the very distal markers. For methodological reasons, such segments have a low sharing of IBD signals and are prone to be false positives. One marker on chromosome 19 reached genome-wide significance and was not one of the distal markers. This marker was located within the GNA11 gene, which contains no previous association with MS. We conclude that IBD mapping is not sufficiently powered to identify MS risk loci even in ethnically relatively homogenous populations, or that alternatively rare variants are not adequately present.

  • Protein profiles of CCL5, HPGDS, and NPSR1 in plasma reveal association with childhood asthma
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. - : Blackwell Publishing. - 0105-4538 .- 1398-9995. ; 71:9, s. 1357-1361

    • Asthma is a common chronic childhood disease with many different phenotypes that need to be identified. We analyzed a broad range of plasma proteins in children with well-characterized asthma phenotypes to identify potential markers of childhood asthma. Using an affinity proteomics approach, plasma levels of 362 proteins covered by antibodies from the Human Protein Atlas were investigated in a total of 154 children with persistent or intermittent asthma and controls. After screening, chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5) hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase (HPGDS) and neuropeptide S receptor 1 (NPSR1) were selected for further investigation. Significantly lower levels of both CCL5 and HPGDS were found in children with persistent asthma, while NPSR1 was found at higher levels in children with mild intermittent asthma compared to healthy controls. In addition, the protein levels were investigated in another respiratory disease, sarcoidosis, showing significantly higher NPSR1 levels in sera from sarcoidosis patients compared to healthy controls. Immunohistochemical staining of healthy tissues revealed high cytoplasmic expression of HPGDS in mast cells, present in stroma of both airway epithelia, lung as well as in other organs. High expression of NPSR1 was observed in neuroendocrine tissues, while no expression was observed in airway epithelia or lung. In conclusion, we have utilized a broad-scaled affinity proteomics approach to identify three proteins with altered plasma levels in asthmatic children, representing one of the first evaluations of HPGDS and NPSR1 protein levels in plasma.

  • Transcriptomic profiling of experimental arterial injury reveals new mechanisms and temporal dynamics in vascular healing response
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: JVS-Vascular Science. - : Elsevier BV. - 2666-3503. ; 315, s. E14-E14
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objective: Endovascular interventions cause arterial injury and induce a healing response to restore vessel wall homeostasis. Complications of defective or excessive healing are common and result in increased morbidity and repeated interventions. Experimental models of intimal hyperplasia are vital for understanding the vascular healing mechanisms and resolving the clinical problems of restenosis, vein graft stenosis, and dialysis access failure. Our aim was to systematically investigate the transcriptional, histologic, and systemic reaction to vascular injury during a prolonged time. Methods: Balloon injury of the left common carotid artery was performed in male rats. Animals (n = 69) were euthanized before or after injury, either directly or after 2 hours, 20 hours, 2 days, 5 days, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. Both injured and contralateral arteries were subjected to microarray profiling, followed by bioinformatic exploration, histologic characterization of the biopsy specimens, and plasma lipid analyses. Results: Immune activation and coagulation were key mechanisms in the early response, followed by cytokine release, tissue remodeling, and smooth muscle cell modulation several days after injury, with reacquisition of contractile features in later phases. Novel pathways related to clonal expansion, inflammatory transformation, and chondro-osteogenic differentiation were identified and immunolocalized to neointimal smooth muscle cells. Analysis of uninjured arteries revealed a systemic component of the reaction after local injury, underlined by altered endothelial signaling, changes in overall tissue bioenergy metabolism, and plasma high-density lipoprotein levels. Conclusions: We demonstrate that vascular injury induces dynamic transcriptional landscape and metabolic changes identifiable as early, intermediate, and late response phases, reaching homeostasis after several weeks. This study provides a temporal “roadmap” of vascular healing as a publicly available resource for the research community.
