Objective To study on the association of apolipoprotein E(apoE)genotype with coronary heart disease(CHD)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods PCR-RFL,multiplex amplification refractory mutation system(muli-ARMS)and PCR-SSCP methods were used to detect the genotype of apoE,and DNA sequencing technique were used for further confrm the genotype and gene variations in 2 446 Chinese individuals,including 238 cases of CHD,316 cases of T2DM and 1 892 healthy controls.Fasting blood glucose(FBG)and plasma lipids levels[TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C,apoA I,apoB and Lo(a)]were measured by usual methods.Results Compared with the controls,plasma HDL-C(t=2.66)and apoA I(t=2.30)levels in the CHD group were significantly lower(P<0.05),but not in T2DM group;plasma TC level(t=5.22)in the T2DM group were significantly higher(P<0.05),but not in CHD group;systolic pressure(t=8.48,5.74)diastolic pressure(t=5.66,3.35),plasma TG(t=3.38, 4.56),LDL-C(t=2.48,7.00),apoB(t=1.67,2.24),Lp(a)(t=4.16,4.15)and FBG(t=7.04, 16.93)levels were significantly higher in both CHD group and T2DM group(P<0.05).The distributions of apoE ε2/2,ε2/3,ε3/3,ε2/4,ε3/4 and ε4/4 respectively were 0.4%,13.4%,58.0%,1.3%, 26.5%,0.4% in the CHD group;0.6%,5.7%,72.8%,1.9%,14.9%,4.1% in the T2DM group; 0.5%,10.5%,69.6%,1.6%,16.8%,1.1% in the control group.Significant differences were found between the CHD group(χ2=14.90,P=0.00),T2DM group(χ2=7.08,P=0.03)and the control group for the frequencies of apoE genotype.The distribution of ε3/4 was higher(26.5% vs 16.8%)and ε3/3 Was lower(58.0% vs 69.6%)in the CHD group.In the T2DM group.the distribution of εε4/4 Was higher (4.1% vs 1.1%),and 2 cases of ε3/3 with Arg 150 His mutation in exon 4 of apoE gene were firstly reposed in China,which is none in the CHD and control groups.Conclusions The results suggested that apoE ε3/4 and ε4 genotypes might be associated with the susceptibility of CHD and T2DM.respectively. To some extent,apoE ε3/3 may not be a good genotype for T2DM because of the Arg 150 His mutation. Blood pressure and plasma lipids could be used for diagnosis of the two diseases.

Objective To study the impairment and the expression of receptor of advanced glycation endproduct (RAGE) in cultured rat glomerular mesangial cells ( GMC ) induced by constant and intermittent high glucose, and to investigate the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. Methods After being cultured under constant and intermittent high glucose with different concentrations for 24 and 48 hours, the morphological changes of rat mesangial cells were observed, the proliferation of GMC was detected by MTT assay, the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD)and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA)in supernatant were measured by spectrophotometer,and the expressions of RAGE mRNA were evaluated by RT-PCR. Results ( 1 ) Compared with the control group,the cellular morphology was changed in case of constant and intermittent high glucose. The damage of GMC with intermittent high glucose concentrations was more serious. (2)The activity of SOD was decreased and the level of MDA was raised in case of intermittent high glucose concentrations compared with the constant high glucose concentrations (P<0.05). (3)The expression of RAGE mRNA with intermittent high glucose concentrations was significantly higher than that with constant high glucose concentrations ( P<0. 01 ). Conclusions The damaging effects and increased expression of RAGE in cultured rat GMC induced by blood glucose fluctuation was much worse than that with constant high glucose. The blood glucose fluctuation may be one of the causes that induce diabetic nephropathy.
