Abstract
AIM: The long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have gradually been reported to be an important class of RNAs with pivotal roles in the development and progression of myocardial infarction (MI). In this study, we hypothesized that genetic variant of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA (ANRIL) and metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) may affect the prognosis of MI patients. METHODS: The study included 401 Han Chinese MI patients and 409 controls. Four lncRNA tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)-ANRIL rs9632884 and rs1537373, MALAT1 rs619586 and rs3200401-were selected. SNP genotyping was performed by an improved multiplex ligation detection reaction assay. RESULTS: rs9632884 and rs3200401 SNPs were significantly associated with lipid levels in both controls and MI patients (P < 0.003-0.046). Several SNPs interacted with sex and age to modify total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and creatinine levels to modify the risk of MI. No association between the lncRNAs SNPs and susceptibility to MI was found (P > 0.05 for all). CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, this study provides additional evidence that genetic variation of the ANRIL rs9632884 and MALAT1 rs3200401 can mediate lipid levels in MI patients.
