Cumulative Risk of Metabolic Syndrome Correlated with the Coexistence of (-1306C/T) and Altered Circulating MMP2 level

Abstract

Background: Interindividual genetic variations and environmental factors both play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The rationale of this study conducted was to analyze the association of Matrix Metalloproteinase (MMP) gene variants, MMP-1 (-1607 1G/2G) and MMP-2 (-1306 C/T) with susceptibility to MetS and its effect on serum MMP level.

Methods: Study involved 370 subjects with 1:1 distribution of cases and controls. Patients were recruited according to modified NCEP-ATP III criteria for MetS. Clinical, biochemical analysis, PCR-RFLP and ELISA methods were employed for genotyping and estimation of serum MMP level.

Results: Significantly (p<0.001) higher Serum MMP-2 (39.13±19.96 ng/ml) was detected in cases as compared to controls. The MMP-2 (-1306 C/T) was significantly associated with the risk of MetS. The variant genotype TT was significantly associated with increased risk of MetS. (p=0.032; OR=2.31; 95%CI=1.07–4.97). No significant association of MMP-1(-1607 1G/2G) was found with risk of MetS.

Conclusion: Our study concluded that presence of MMP-2 (-1306 C/T) might be associated the risk of MetS. Serum MMP2 level was significantly higher in patients and correlated with clinical parameters of MetS. Clinical implication of the work may help to identify the individuals with high risk of MetS and further complications.
