Chronic diseases including coronary artery disease (CAD) impose a high burden in terms of mortality and disability particularly in developing countries. Both genetic and environmental risk factors confer susceptibility to CAD. Meanwhile, a functional polymorphism in the tumor protein p53 (TP53) gene (codon 72, exon 4) has been reported to be associated with a wide range of cancers and inflammatory disorders. There are controversies regarding CAD and involvement of the TP53 codon 72 single nucleotide polymorphism; therefore, the present case-control study was conducted to evaluate the potential association between this TP53 polymorphism and CAD in an Iranian population. A total of 153 subjects (including 70 patients diagnosed with CAD and 83 subjects with normal coronary parameters, determined by angiography) were genotyped for the TP53 (rs1042522) polymorphism by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Clinical and laboratory findings were also evaluated. The χ2 test and unpaired Student's t-test were applied to compare genotype and allele distributions and clinical characteristics between the two groups. Significant associations of the Pro72 allele [odds ratio (OR)=1.66, P=0.027] and Pro/Pro genotype (OR=2.91, P=0.022) with CAD were identified. No associations between patients' clinical findings and genotypes were apparent. Therefore, according to present findings, the TP53 Pro72 allele may be involved in the development of CAD along with conventional risk factors in patients from Northern Iran.

 coronary artery disease polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism tumor suppressor protein p53 Introduction

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide (1). CAD is a chronic inflammatory condition that poses major health challenges to developing countries (2,3). Technological advances and industrialization, as well as appropriate access to health services, have shifted global morbidity and mortality patterns from infectious to non-communicable diseases (4,5). Therefore, as a result of this epidemiological transition, cardiovascular disorders (CVDs), cancers, diabetes and other chronic conditions are considered among the main causes of disability and mortality worldwide (6,7). According to World Health Organization statistics in 2014, CVDs including CAD accounted for approximately half of all fatalities in the Iranian population (8). Similar to the majority of pathological and geographical specific conditions including cancer (9), CAD is affected by the interaction between ethnicity and environmental and genetic factors. Obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia as well as smoking and alcohol consumption are among the main risk factors (10–12) The genetic aspect of this disease is also notable, as genome-wide association studies have led to the identification of multiple genetic variants involved in atherosclerotic processes (13).

Tumor protein p53 (TP53) is among the known genes associated with a broad range of diseases (14–17). The protein encoded by the TP53 gene is a transcription factor involved in programmed cell death (apoptosis), cell cycle regulation, proliferation and DNA repair, and thus serves as a crucial tumor suppressor (18,19). Different types of TP53 gene alteration have been associated with a variety of cancers including myelodysplastic syndromes (20) and gastrointestinal cancers (21), and metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity (15,22). TP53 mutations may increase cellular expansion, loss of apoptosis and genetic instability (23,24). In this regard, a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on codon 72 of TP53 (rs1042522), which encodes proline (CCC) or arginine (CGC), appears to be associated not only with the risk of certain malignant (e.g., cancers of the breast and gastrointestinal system) (25,26) and chronic diseases (e.g., diabetic nephropathy) (15,27) but also with patient survival and treatment response (28,29). The functional characteristics of these two varieties are distinct, which may influence the ability of the final protein to induce inflammation or apoptosis (30). When considering the role of TP53 in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation and inflammatory processes, previous studies have identified inconclusive results in patients with CAD (31–33). Therefore, the present study aimed at assessing the TP53 codon 72 SNP in CAD patients in Northern Iran.

 Materials and methods <sec> <title>Study subjects

In the present case-control study, TP53 codon 72 polymorphism was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) in CAD and non-CAD subjects. The patients were selected among those attending Fatimah Zahra Heart Hospital (Sari, Iran) who underwent standard coronary angiography [via the Judkins method (34)] by two cardiologists between December 2016 and September 2017. The case group (CAD patients; n=70) included patients characterized by coronary artery stenosis (at least 50% diameter stenosis in one or more vessels) and the control group consisted of subjects with normal cardiac catheterization results (non-CAD n=83). Demographic and clinical information including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), laboratory and clinical findings were obtained from the medical records of participants. Patients with systemic infections, inflammatory diseases and/or cancer were excluded. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences, Sari, Iran (approval no. IR.MAZUMS.REC.96.2817) and informed consent was obtained from all subjects.

By considering α=0.05 and 80% statistical power (β=0.20), the sample size of the present study was calculated based on the results of Khan et al (35), which reported the proportion of the Arg/Arg genotype in the case group as 28% and in the control group as 9%.

TP53 genotyping analysis. Fasting venous blood samples (3 ml) were taken in EDTA tubes and frozen at −20°C until subsequent analysis.

Genomic DNA was extracted by a modified salting-out method using an EXTRA-GENE I kit (BAG Health Care GmbH, Lich, Germany), according to the manufacturer's protocol, and the quality of DNA was determined using a spectrophotometer (WPA Biowave II; Biochrom, Ltd., Cambridge, UK) Determination of TP53 genotype for Arg/Pro polymorphism was performed according to a protocol reported by Ara et al (36). The primers 5′-TTGCCGTCCCAAGCAATGGATGA-3′ and 5′-TCTGGGAAGGGACAGAAGATGAC-3′ were used to amplify exon 4 (containing codon 72) of the TP53 gene. In each PCR reaction tube, 1 µl each of forward and reverse primers, 2–3 µl genomic DNA, 10 µl MasterMix (Parstous Biotechnology, Mashhad, Iran) and diethyl pyrocarbonate-treated water up to 20 µl were added. The amplification cycle consisted of an initial denaturation and enzyme activation (94°C, 5 min), denaturation (94°C, 30 sec), annealing (63°C, 30 sec), extension (72°C, 5 min) followed by a final extension (72°C, 5 min). The products were enzymatically digested by 1 µl BstUI (10 U/µl) restriction endonuclease (Fermentas; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA), which cleaves in the middle of 5′-CGCG-3′ sequences. The products were then electrophoresed in 3% agarose gel containing DNA staining dye (Green Viewer™; Parstous Biotechnology) and visualized by ultraviolet light using a transilluminator device (UVIdoc-HD6; Uvitec, Ltd., Cambridge, UK). The proline allele presents as a single band at 199 bp. The arginine allele cuts into two fragments of 86 and 113 bp. Accordingly, Pro/Pro subjects exhibit a 199 bp band, Arg/Arg exhibit 86 and 113 bands, and heterozygote subjects exhibit all three bands (17).

 Statistical analysis

Data analysis was conducted using GraphPad Prism version 5.0 (GraphPad Software, Inc., La Jolla, CA, USA). Categorical data are presented as number (percentage) and quantitative data are summarized as the mean ± standard error of the mean. The χ2 test and unpaired Student's t-test were used to compare the frequency distribution of TP53 genotypes and quantitative data including laboratory and demographic variables between CAD patients and controls. Additionally, the distribution of TP53 Arg72Pro in CAD patients and normal subjects was assessed by χ2 test. The association between this SNP and CAD was determined by calculating odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) (37). The significance level was considered to be α=0.05 and P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference.

 Results <sec> <title>Evaluation of demographic and clinical characteristics of study subjects

In the current study, a population of 153 subjects was evaluated for TP53 Arg72Pro SNP, comprising 70 CAD patients and 83 normal control subjects. The CAD group consisted of 42 males and 28 females with a mean age of 58.6±1.08 (range, 39–84), and the control group included 45 males and 38 females with a mean age of 51.5±1.42 (range, 31–72). As presented in Table I, there was a significant difference between the mean age of CAD patients and that of the controls (P<0.001). However, no differences were observed between the two groups in terms of sex distribution. Among the CAD cases, single vessel disease was the most frequent form of stenosis (n=30), followed by three-vessel (n=26) and two-vessel stenosis (n=14; data not shown). Among different clinical risk factors for CAD, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus was identified to be significantly higher in patients (44.3 vs. 16.9%, P<0.001). Similarly, the prevalence of hypertension (HTN) and smoking was greater in the CAD group (50.0 vs. 32.5%, P=0.028; and 24.3 vs. 10.8%, P=0.027). No difference in the presence of dyslipidemia was identified between the two groups. CAD patients exhibited lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF compared with the controls (48.25±1.06 vs. 51.19±0.66%, P=0.017; Table I).

 PCR and RFLP results

TP53 gene codon 72 encodes either arginine (CGC, Arg72) or proline (CCC, Pro72). Accordingly, three genotypes are expected: CC (Pro/Pro), GG (Arg/Arg) and GC (Arg/Pro) (38). Expectedly, PCR amplification with the specified primers resulted in the production of a 199-bp fragment. By adding BstUI restriction enzyme and in the presence of the proline allele, the fragment was not cleaved; while the arginine allele was converted into two smaller fragments of 86 and 113 bp. Arg/Pro genotype was identified by all three fragments (Fig. 1).

The TP53 Arg72Pro genotype and allele distributions in the CAD patient and control groups are presented in Tables II and III. Based on the χ2 test, a significant difference was observed in the frequency of the Pro/Pro genotype between the two groups, with the genotype appearing more prevalent in the CAD group [odds ratio (OR)= 2.91, P=0.022; Table II]. Accordingly, the Pro allele also appeared more frequent in the CAD group (OR=1.66, P=0.027; Table III). There were no apparent associations between genotype and HTN, diabetes, number of involved vessels or patients' sex (Table IV).

 Discussion

Given that CAD is a major contributor to disability and mortality worldwide, identifying risk factors and adopting screening methods is expected reduce the health burden of the disease (1). Risk factors including changes in community structure and industrialization, sedentary lifestyle and increased rates of smoking, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and hypertension have contributed to the establishment of CAD as one of the most common non-communicable diseases and causes of mortality (39–41). Along with the environmental risk factors mentioned, genetic background may also affect the probability of developing CAD (42,43). In this regard, genetic polymorphisms of the TP53 gene have been studied in CAD; however the results have so far been inconclusive (31,35,44). As a key tumor suppressor gene, the main function of TP53 is to protect the genome from damage. Therefore, both its expression and polymorphisms have become topics of interest in cancer studies (45). The pathogenesis of cancer is a complex process, due to the accumulation and interactions of mutations in genes that control the cell cycle and apoptosis. TP53 gene is considered to serve an essential role in genetic predisposition to cancer, as it regulates DNA replication and repair, and cellular death; indeed mutated alleles of TP53 have been reported frequently in many human cancers (45–48). A common SNP of TP53 located on codon 72 encodes two alleles with distinct functional properties via transversion mutation (49). The arginine allele exhibits a greater apoptotic function than proline, which itself appears to be associated more with inflammation and activation of transcription (30). The Arg72Pro functional polymorphism of TP53 has been widely assessed in cancer susceptibility studies that have yielded contradictory results. In Iran, investigations on this SNP in primary open angle glaucoma (50) and breast (25) and colorectal (21) cancers have indicated associations with disease risk, but no evidence of association has been identified in gastric (51,52) and head and neck (53) cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma (54) and also hepatitis C infection (55).

It should be noted that cancer and CVDs share multiple biological characteristics (50). First, common risk factors for CVDs including levels of physical activity, alcohol and tobacco consumption, and comorbidity with diabetes and/or obesity are also commonly observed in cancers (56); and second, chronic inflammation is considered as an underlying factor for both diseases (57,58). In the present study, the distribution of TP53 Arg72Pro genotypes between patients with CAD and control subjects was significantly different, and the proline allele was indicated to be associated with CAD risk. Gloria-Bottini et al (59) reported that CAD patients carrying the Pro allele (whether Pro/Pro or Arg/Pro) had significantly lower LVEF than those with Arg/Arg. This negative impact may be due to inflammatory characteristics of the proline allele. The joint presence of an active genotype of acid phosphatase locus 1 (carrying *B/*C alleles: C/T in codon 43 and C/C in codon 41) and TP53 Pro/Pro has been reported to increase the risk of CAD (32). In ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel disease in which cytokines and inflammatory mediators including tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6, and arachidonic acid metabolites including prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4 are involved (60), the presence of the proline homozygous genotype (Pro/Pro) significantly increased the disease duration (>7 years) and was more frequent in patients with continuous disease course (61). Previously, it has been indicated that the presence of the proline allele and its homozygous genotype is associated with the risk of ulcerative colitis (Pro allele: OR, 7.8; Pro/Pro: OR, 35.2) and primary open-angle glaucoma (Pro allele: OR, 2.1; Pro/Pro: OR, 3.9) in Iranian subjects (50,62). In the Kuwaiti population, CAD prevalence exhibited an association with type 2 diabetes and high levels of triglyceride and cholesterol; however, there was no evidence of any influence of TP53 codon 72 genotypes (31). In Brazilian symptomatic CAD patients, neither atherosclerosis nor the risk factors were associated with Arg72Pro genotypes (63). Contrary with the current findings, Khan et al (35) reported Arg72 allele as a risk factor for CAD in South African (Indian ancestry) patients, but in line with the present study, the laboratory markers did not correlate with the genotypes. Similarly, the Arg72 variant has been associated with increased risk of CAD (OR=2.0) in Chilean patients (64).

A study by Manfredi et al (33), in agreement with Alkhalaf et al (31) and Lagares et al (63), failed to establish any association between Arg72Pro SNP and CAD in Italian subjects, but identified a significant association between CAD and smoking, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and family history of the disease. In a meta-analysis of 12 genetic variants related to CAD, including 2,473 subjects from Italy, Chile, Kuwait, and Europe, there was no significant association between TP53 rs1042522 and susceptibility to coronary disease (65). It is thus noteworthy that racial/ethnic differences appear to influence the association between Arg72Pro variants and CAD.

Furthermore, according to reported associations between TP53 and CAD, it appears that the overall incidence of CVD is higher in individuals with autoimmune disorders. This topic has been widely studied in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis (66,67). Furthermore, TP53 also serves a role in autoimmune inflammation, and this may explain the link between the gene and developing CAD (32)Protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 22 (PTPN22) is among the known genes involved in autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes, celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (68,69). In this regard, accompaniment of a common SNP of PTPN22 (tryptophan 620 allele) and the TP53 Pro allele has been reported to be associated with atherosclerosis by Saccucci et al (44).

The underlying environmental risk factors also serve a significant role in CAD. Obesity is a considerable health issue, associated with CVD, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and cancer (70,71). Data suggest that the two northern provinces of Iran, Mazandaran and Guilan, have the highest BMI values among 31 provinces (72). An investigation in 440 women in Rasht (Guilan province) revealed that almost 24.8 and 2.9% of 440 participated women were overweight (BMI, >25) and obese (BMI, >30), respectively (73). Mahdavi Shahri et al (74), of a cohort of 500 elderly subjects, reported 47% as overweight, 38% as having hypertension, 30.4% has having dyslipidemia, and 18.8% as smokers. In a 7-year cohort study in Isfahan, the incidence of conventional risk factors of CVD in both sexes was as follows; hypertension, 22.5%; type 2 diabetes, 10.4%; overweight, 29.6%; and hypertriglyceridemia, 30.9% (75). Mediterranean countries including Italy (76) and France (77,78) have a reportedly lower prevalence of conventional CAD risk factors including diabetes and obesity than the Iranian population (79,80); but in a community-based survey in Greece, the prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and smoking were 11.1, 27.2, 23.8, and 38.9%, respectively; this may be due to reduced physical activity and lower consumption of the Mediterranean diet in recent decades (81). Furthermore, age is an independent risk factor for CAD (82). In the present study, the patients were older than non-CAD subjects. This finding is in line with observations that elderly subjects are more prone to CAD (83).

The present study has some limitations that should be addressed. Other SNPs associated with obesity, diabetes, and hypertension were not examined; however determining their joint presence may have aided to clarify the role of genetic variants in CAD and the associated risk factors. Since genetic background influences the risk of CAD and response to treatment (84), evaluating the association between TP53 rs1042522 and CAD requires further investigation. This may aid to predict susceptibility to disease and to choose strategies for non-invasive screening. As the increase in life expectancy has caused CAD to become a notable health concern among the elderly, as also observed in the present study, another benefit of screening may be indication for lifestyle modification from an earlier age.

In conclusion, the present findings suggest that TP53 Arg/Pro polymorphism severs as a risk factor for CAD in patients from Northern Iran. However, no associations were identified between genotypes and clinical characteristics.
