0-139 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A single-nucleotide polymorphism in the human p27kip1 gene (-838C>A) affects basal promoter activity and the risk of myocardial infarction. |
| TextSentencer_T2 |
140-151 |
Sentence |
denotes |
BACKGROUND: |
| TextSentencer_T3 |
152-301 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Excessive proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and leukocytes within the artery wall is a major event in the development of atherosclerosis. |
| TextSentencer_T4 |
302-477 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The growth suppressor p27kip1 associates with several cyclin-dependent kinase/cyclin complexes, thereby abrogating their capacity to induce progression through the cell cycle. |
| TextSentencer_T5 |
478-558 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Recent studies have implicated p27kip1 in the control of neointimal hyperplasia. |
| TextSentencer_T6 |
559-718 |
Sentence |
denotes |
For instance, p27kip1 ablation in apolipoprotein-E-null mice enhanced arterial cell proliferation and accelerated atherogenesis induced by dietary cholesterol. |
| TextSentencer_T7 |
719-880 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Therefore, p27kip1 is a candidate gene to modify the risk of developing atherosclerosis and associated ischaemic events (i.e., myocardial infarction and stroke). |

Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
| TextSentencer_T9 |
890-1023 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In this study we found three common single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the human p27kip1 gene (+326T>G [V109G], -79C>T, and -838C>A). |
| TextSentencer_T10 |
1024-1217 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The frequency of -838A carriers was significantly increased in myocardial infarction patients compared to healthy controls (odds ratio [OR] = 1.73, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] = 1.12-2.70). |
| TextSentencer_T11 |
1218-1479 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, luciferase reporter constructs driven by the human p27kip1 gene promoter containing A at position -838 had decreased basal transcriptional activity when transiently transfected in Jurkat cells, compared with constructs bearing C in -838 (P = 0.04). |
| TextSentencer_T12 |
1480-1492 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |
| TextSentencer_T13 |
1493-1620 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These data suggest that -838A is associated with reduced p27kip1 promoter activity and increased risk of myocardial infarction. |
