Cardiopulmonary bypass-associated acute kidney injury (CPB-AKI) is a well-recognized complication which is clearly linked to increased morbidity and mortality. Due to important role of inflammation in CPB-AKI pathogenesis, we explored the association between polymorphisms in STAT3, an inflammation-associated transcription factor, and the risk of CPB-AKI. In this study, STAT3 rs1053004 and rs744166 polymorphisms were analyzed in 129 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in Jorjani heart center, Bandar Abbas, Iran. The genotypes were determined using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). Sixty-three patients met the criteria for AKI after cardiac surgery (AKI group). The remaining 66 patients did not develop AKI (non-AKI group). Rs1053004 GG genotype was significantly associated with a decreased risk (OR 0.4, 95% CI 0.17-0.9, P = 0.03) of CPB-AKI. Subgroup analyses revealed that GG genotype has also a protective effect in older patients (Age ≥ 60) (OR 0.19, 95% CI 0.04-0.8, P = 0.01). However, rs744166 did not show any difference between AKI and non-AKI groups. The result of our study for the first time provides evidence that rs1053004 polymorphism is significantly associated with a decreased risk of CPB-AKI in Iranian population, especially in older subjects.
Objective To investigate the association between interleukin-35 (IL-35) levels and single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs3761548, rs3761547) of the FoxP3 gene in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) patients. Methods We conducted a prospective study including 140 patients, who were scheduled for elective isolated on-pump CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) from January 2017 to September 2018 in the Jorjani heart center. Blood samples were collected before and 12 hours after the operation. Serum levels of IL-35 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and the pattern of genetic variations was assessed using single specific primer-polymerase chain reaction. Results The serum concentrations of IL-35 after surgery were significantly higher than pre-surgery levels (18.4±8.3 vs . 9.89±3.2, respectively, P =0.002). There was no significant association between genotype frequencies of rs3761548 and rs3761547 and elevated IL-35 levels ( P >0.05). There were significant associations between IL-35 levels and preoperative variables, including age (r=-0.34, P =0.047) and body mass index (r=-0.41, P =0.045), and intraoperative variables, including CPB time (r=0.4, P =0.02) and mean arterial pressure (r=-0.38, P =0.046), in carriers of the rs3761548 AA genotype. Conclusion Serum IL-35 concentrations were significantly increased in CPB patients, which may contribute to the post-CPB compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome. IL-35 increased levels were not influenced by FoxP3 promoter polymorphisms (rs3761548, rs3761547).
