Comparative analysis of MTP -493G/T and ABCG2 34G/A polymorphisms and theirs expression in HIV-associated lipodystrophy patients.
HIV-associated lipodystrophy (HIVLD) is a metabolic condition with an irregularity in the production of lipoprotein particles, and its occurrence varies among HIV-infected patients. MTP and ABCG2 genes have a role in the transport of lipoproteins. The polymorphisms of MTP -493G/T and ABCG2 34G/A affect its expression and influence the secretion and transportation of lipoproteins. Hence, we investigated the MTP -493G/T and ABCG2 34G/A polymorphisms in 187 HIV-infected patients (64 with HIVLD and 123 without HIVLD) along with 139 healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism and expression analysis using real-time PCR. ABCG2 34A allele showed an insignificantly reduced risk of LDHIV severity [P = 0.07, odds ratio (OR) = 0.55]. MTP -493T allele exhibited a non-significantly reduced risk for the development of dyslipidemia (P = 0.08, OR = 0.71). In patients with HIVLD, the ABCG2 34GA genotype was linked with impaired low-density lipoprotein levels and showed a reduced risk for LDHIV severity (P = 0.04, OR = 0.17). In patients without HIVLD, the ABCG2 34GA genotype was associated with impaired triglyceride levels with marginal significance and showed an increased risk for the development of dyslipidemia (P = 0.07, OR = 2.76). The expression level of MTP gene was 1.22-fold decreased in patients without HIVLD compared with that in patients with HIVLD. ABCG2 gene was upregulated 2.16-fold in patients with HIVLD than in patients without HIVLD. In conclusion, MTP -493C/T polymorphism influences the expression level of MTP in patients without HIVLD. Individuals without HIVLD having ABCG2 34GA genotype with impaired triglyceride levels may facilitate dyslipidemia risk.

Role of APOC3 3238C/G, APOB 12669G/A and SCARB1 1050C/T polymorphisms, their expression in patients of HIV-associated lipodystrophy.
Apolipoproteins and Scavenger Receptor Class B1 (SCARB1) proteins are involved in the etiology of HIV-associated lipodystrophy (HIVLD). APOC3 3238C/G, APOB 12669G/A and SCARB1 1050C/T polymorphisms were linked with increased level of APOB, TG, HDL-C and risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Hence, we evaluated the genetic variations of APOC3 3238C/G, APOB 12669G/A and SCARB1 1050C/T in 187 patients of HIV (64 with HIVLD, 123 without HIVLD) and 139 healthy controls using PCR-RFLP and expression by qPCR. The genotypes of SCARB1 1050 TT and APOB 12669AA showed a risk to severe HIVLD (P = 0.23, OR = 4.95; P = 0.16, OR = 2.02). The APOC3 3238 GG genotype was associated with a lesser risk of severe HIVLD (P = 0.07, OR = 0.22). The APOB 12669 GA genotype was associated with a greater risk of HIVLD severity in patients with impaired LDL, triglyceride (TG), and cholesterol levels (P = 0.34, OR = 4.13; P = 0.25, OR = 3.64; P = 0.26, OR = 5.47). Similarly, APOB 12669AA genotypes in the presence of impaired triglyceride levels displayed the susceptibility to severity of HIVLD (P = 0.77, OR = 2.91). APOB 12669 GA genotype along with impaired HDL and cholesterol levels indicated an increased risk for HIVLD acquisition among patients without HIVLD (P = 0.42, OR = 2.42; P = 0.26, OR = 2.27). In patients with and without HIVLD, APOC3 3238CG genotypes having impaired cholesterol and glucose levels had higher risk for severity and development of HIVLD (P = 0.13, OR = 2.84, P = 0.34, OR = 1.58; P = 0.71, OR = 1.86; P = 0.14, OR = 2.30). An increased expression of APOB and SCARB1 genes were observed in patients with HIVLD (+0.51 vs. -0.93; +4.78 vs. +3.29), and decreased expression of APOC3 gene was observed in patients with HIVLD (-0.35 vs. -1.65). In conclusion, the polymorphisms mentioned above were not associated with the modulation of HIVLD. However, in the presence of impaired triglyceride, HDL, cholesterol and glucose levels, APOB 12669AA and 12669 GA, APOC3 3238CG genotypes indicated a risk for the development and severity of HIVLD.
