Explore the Role of the rs1801133-PPARG Pathway in the H-type Hypertension

In this study, we first tested the association between rs1801133 genotypes and Hcy level in H-type hypertension using clinical profiles collected from 203 patients before and after the treatment using enalapril maleate and folic acid tablets (EMFAT). Then, we constructed a literature-based pathway analysis to explore the role of the rs1801133-PPARG signaling pathway in H-type hypertension and its treatment. Although presented similar blood pressure, the patients with TT genotype of rs1801133 were much younger (p value <0.05) and significantly higher in Hcy levels (x 2 = 6.11 and p < 0.005) than that in the CC and CT genotype groups. Pathway analysis showed that T-allele of rs1801133 could inhibit the expression of PPARG through the downregulation of folate levels and upregulation of Hcy levels, which increased the risk of hypertension and hyperhomocysteinemia. Treatment using EMFAT led to similarly decreased Hcy levels for all patients with different genotypes (x 2 = 86.00; p < 0.36), which may occur partially through the activation of PPARG. Moreover, even after treatment, the patients with TT genotype still presented significantly higher Hcy levels (x 2 = 7.87 and p < 0.001). Our results supported that rs1801133 mutation could play a role in H-type hypertension, which might be partially through the downregulation of PPARG. Moreover, PPARG might also be involved in treating H-type hypertension using EMFAT.PMID:35356087 | PMC:PMC8958104 | DOI:10.1155/2022/2054876
