Paraoxonase-1 (PON1) rs662 Polymorphism and Its Association with Serum Lipid Levels and Longevity in the Bama Zhuang Population

Abstract

BackgroundThe present study was performed to identify the association of PON1 rs662 polymorphism with serum lipid levels and human longevity in the Bama Zhuang population.Material/MethodsPON1 genotypes were determined by Taqman SNP Genotyping Assays in 110 long-lived inhabitants (longevity group, aged 90–110 years), 110 healthy inhabitants in Bama County (control 1 group, aged 43–82 years) and 110 healthy inhabitants in Nandan County (control 2 group, aged 28–82 years) without family history of longevity.ResultsBMI (body mass index) and TG (serum total triglyceride) level were lower in the longevity group than in the two control groups, while the contents of serum LDL-c (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and HDL-c (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and the levels of SBP (systolic blood pressure) and DBP (diastolic blood pressure) in the longevity group were higher than in the two control groups (p<0.01). Significant differences in the frequencies of three genotypes (GG, AG, and AA) were observed between the longevity group and control 2 group (χ2=15.190, p=0.001). The minor allele frequency (MAF) of rs662 was significantly higher in the longevity group than in the two control groups. The levels of HDL-c in the longevity group were different among the three genotypes (p<0.05). The levels of TG for GG and GG+AG genotypes were significantly different, while the levels of TC (total cholesterol) and HDL-c for AG and GG+AG genotypes were significantly different among the three groups (p<0.05). Serum lipid parameters were correlated with several environmental factors, including age, gender, DBP, SBP, and BMI. The association of PON1 rs662 polymorphism and serum lipid levels was different among the three groups.ConclusionsPON1 polymorphism might be one of the genetic factors of longevity in the Bama Zhuang population. The PON1 rs662 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) was associated with serum HDL-c levels in the longevity group.

Spatio-Temporal Variation of Longevity Clusters and the Influence of Social Development Level on Lifespan in a Chinese Longevous Area (1982–2010)

“…Several centenarians at the same period belong to a large family, suggesting that longevity is closely related to genetics. This conjecture was validated in series of subsequent studies [ 11 , 44 , 45 ].…”

Improved diagnostic value by combining plasma PON1 level with tumor biomarkers in Colorectal Cancer patients

“…LDL peroxidation product increases when PON1 is of low level, resulting in an excess of reactive oxygen species, causing imbalance between antioxidant system and oxidant system. Studies have reported the significance of PON1 in diagnosing CRC in European populations, and revealed the relationship between PON1 gene polymorphism and PON1 enzyme activity [14,15]. However, research on the significance of PON1 and the combination of PON1 and commonly used biomarkers CEA, CA12-5, CA19-9 to diagnose CRC in Chinese population is still unclear.…”

“…Diets and lifestyles were different in these different populations. Diets and lifestyles are similar to those described in our previous article [ 40 ]. Keeping this in mind, we can identify the genes related to blood lipids and suggest eating a healthy diet to reduce the impact of hyperlipidemia on people’s health.…”
