pubmed-article:12893982 | pubmed:abstractText | Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is known as a potent vasoconstrictor peptide and stimulator of cell proliferation. The human preproendothelin-1 mRNA contains a frequent adenine insertion polymorphism (allele frequency = 0.28) within the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR), 138 bp downstream of the transcription start site, which was assumed to be related to hypertension. This 5'-UTR variant could putatively influence the mRNA secondary structure and stability, efficacy of translation initiation, or binding of sequence-specific mRNA-binding proteins. By cloning the entire ET-1 gene 5'-UTR in a pGL3 vector and transfection of two cell lines, we studied the effects on luciferase expression in vitro. Luciferase activity was significantly increased in the insertion variant (I) compared to the wild-type (D) variant for both COS1 (2.97 +/- 0.12 versus 2.17 +/- 0.10; P = 0.002) and HepG2 cells (5.42 +/- 0.90 versus 3.68 +/- 0.37; P = 0.002). Investigations performed ex vivo using human umbilical vein endothelial cells were performed to examine the influence of genotypes on the formation of mRNA and protein. Preproendothelin-1-mRNA was quantified in relation to GAPDH by a realtime polymerase chain reaction. Homozygous I-carriers showed significant elevated mRNA levels compared to I/D and I/I-carriers (I/I 9.03 +/- 1.86, I/D 2.07 +/- 1.15, D/D 2.33 +/- 0.99; P = 0.001). ET-1 protein expression, determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, was increased among I-carriers (I/I 814 +/- 144, I/D 528 +/- 103, D/D 556 +/- 75 pg/ml; P = 0.001). The observed effects may be due to an enhanced mRNA stability because the half-life of mRNA consisting of the I-variant was prolonged (35.4 +/- 7.9 versus 19.9 +/- 4.5 min). We were able to show that the +138 I/D polymorphism is of functional importance for ET-1 expression, and this may have consequences for vessel tonus regulation. | lld:pubmed |
