AB  - The aetiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is complex. While cigarette smoking is a well-established cause of COPD, a myriad of assessed genetic factors has given conflicting data. Since gene-environment interactions are thought to be implicated in aetiopathogenesis of COPD, we aimed to examine the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9 C-1562T (rs3918242) functional variant and cigarette smoke in the pathogenesis of this disease. The distribution of the MMP9 C-1562T variant was analyzed in COPD patients and controls with normal pulmonary function from Serbia. Interaction between the C-1562T genetic variant and cigarette smoking was assessed using a case-control model. The response of the C-1562T promoter variant to cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) exposure was examined using a dual luciferase reporter assay. The frequency of T allele carriers was higher in the COPD group than in smoker controls (38.4% vs. 20%; OR=2.7, P=0.027). Interaction between the T allele and cigarette smoking was identified in COPD occurrence (OR=4.38, P=0.005) and severity (P=0.001). A functional analysis of the C-1562T variant demonstrated a dose-dependent and allele-specific response (P lt 0.01) to CSC. Significantly higher MMP9 promoter activity following CSC exposure was found for the promoter harboring the T allele compared to the promoter harboring the C allele (P lt 0.05). Our study is the first to reveal an interaction between the MMP9-1562T allele and cigarette smoke in COPD, emphasising gene-environment interactions as a possible cause of lung damage in the pathogenesis of COPD.

AB  - Uvod: Hronična opstruktivna bolest pluća (HOBP) jeste složeno oboljenje koje karakteriše povišen oksidativni stres. Funkcionalne varijante gena faze I i II ksenobiotičkog metabolizma mogu uticati na ravnotežu oksidanti-antioksidanti i mogu dovesti do razvoja HOBP. Cilj ove studije je bio ispitivanje uloge funkcionalnih genskih varijanti u genima za citohrom P450 (CYP), glutation S-transferazu (GST) i mikrozomalnu epoksidnu hidrolazu (mEH) u patogenezi HOBP u srpskoj populaciji. Metode: U ovoj studiji analizirane su genske varijante CYP1A1 *1A/*2A, CYP2E1 *1A/*5B, GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null, GSTP1 Ile105Val, mEH Tyr113His i mEH His139Arg u grupi obolelih od HOBP koja je obuhvatala 122 ispitanika i kontrolnoj grupi koja je obuhvatala 100 ispitanika sa normalnom funkcijom pluća. Rezultati: Dobijeni rezultati su pokazali da je GSTM1 null varijanta statistički značajno povišena u grupi obolelih od HOBP u poređenju sa kontrolnom grupom (61,5% i 47,0%; or = 1,80; p = 0,042). Takođe, uočena je značajna razlika u zastupljenosti kombinacije genotipova GSTM1 null i GSTP1 105Val/(Val) (38,5% i 24,0%; or = 1,98; p = 0,029), kao i kombinacije CYP1A1 *1A/*2A, GSTM1 null i mEH 113H is/(H is) (7,4% i 1,0% ; or = 7 ,88; p = 0,025). Zaključak: Ovo su prvi podaci o ulozi genskih varijanti gena faze I i II u patogenezi HOBP u srpskoj populaciji. Rezultati dobijeni u ovoj studiji otvaraju mogućnost za detaljniju analizu uloge genetičkih faktora u HOBP na većim grupama ispitanika. Pored toga, podaci dobijeni u našoj studiji potvrđuju važnost genetičkih determinanti povezanih sa HOBP u prethodnim studijama, ali takođe otkrivaju nove genetičke faktore, koji nisu objavljeni do sada.
AB  - Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disorder characterized by increased oxidative stress. Functional genetic variants of phase I and II genes are implicated in oxidants-antioxidants imbalance and may be involved in COPD development. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of cytochrome P450 (CYP), glutathione S-transferase (GST) and microsomal epoxide hydrolase (mEH) functional variants in the pathogenesis of COPD in a Serbian population. Methods: The genotypes of l2 2 COPD patients and 100 controls with normal lung function were determined for CYP1A1 *1A /*2A , CYP2E1 *1 A /*5B , GSTM1 null, GSTT1 null GSTP1 Ile105Val, mEH Tyr113His and mEH His139Arg gene variants. Results: Results obtained showed that GSTM1 null variant was significantly more represented in COPD patients than in controls (61.5% vs. 47.0%; or = 1.80; p = 0.042). Also, a significant difference was observed for combinations of GSTM1 null and GSTP1 105Val/(Val) (38.5% vs. 24.0%; or = 1.98; p = 0.029), as well as for CYP1A1 *1A/*2A, GSTM1 null and mEH 113His/(His) genotypes (7.4% vs. 1.0%; or = 7.88; p = 0.025). Conclusions: These are the first data concerning the analysis of the variants of phase I and II genes in the pathogenesis of COPD in a Serbian population. Results obtained in this study open up the possibility for thorough analyses of the role of genetic factors in COPD on larger cohorts. Also, they implicate the importance of previously described genetic associations with COPD in our population, as well as reveal a new one, not reported so far.

AB  - Background: The excess of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) might be associated with the airways destruction or dilatation in bronchiectasis. The functional promoter polymorphisms of MMPI and MMP9 genes, involved in the extracellular matrix remodeling, might increase the expression of MMPs leading to the development of bronchiectasis. Methods: Detection of MMP1 G-1607GG and MMP9 C-1562T gene variants was performed on 37 patients with idiopathic disseminated bronchiectasis and 102 control subjects. We also described a novel method for simple and rapid detection of MMP1 G-1607GG polymorphism. Results: The frequency of -1607GG allele was significantly higher in the group of patients than in control subjects (P = 0.014). The heterozygote genotype showed association with bronchiectasis (odds ratio, 5.3; 95% confidence intervals, 1.4-20.0). The association was even stronger in homozygotes for -1607GG allele (odds ration, 8.7; 95% confidence intervals, 1.9-41.0). The allelic and genotype frequencies of MMP9 C-1562T variant did not show significant differences between the groups. Conclusions: This is the first report concerning a role of MMP1 G-1607GG and MMP9 C-1562T variants in pathogenesis of idiopathic disseminated bronchiectasis. The results of our study revealed the association of -1607GG allele and the lack of association of MMP9 C-1562T variant with the disease.

AB  - Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex disease influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein is an important component of the lung tissue homeostasis, involved in the regulation of the rate of mucociliary clearance. As it is known that certain CFTR variants have consequences on the function of CFTR protein, the aim of this study was to examine the possible role of F508del, M470V, Tn locus, and R75Q variants in COPD development and modulation. Total number of 86 COPD patients and 102 control subjects were included in the study. Possible association between COPD susceptibility, severity, and onset of the disease and allele or genotype of four analyzed CFTR variants was examined. No associations were detected between COPD development, onset of the disease and tested CFTR alleles and genotypes. However, VV470 genotype was associated with mild/moderate COPD stages in comparison to severe/very severe ones (OR = 0.29, 95% CI = 0.11-0.80, p = 0.016). Our study showed that patients with VV470 genotype had a 3.4-fold decreased risk for the appearance of severe/very severe COPD symptoms, and the obtained results indicate that this genotype may have a protective role. These results also suggest the importance of studying CFTR gene as a modifier of this disease.
