Abstract

Na+/H+ exchanger NHE3 mediates the majority of intestinal and renal electroneutral sodium absorption. Dysfunction of NHE3 is associated with a variety of diarrheal diseases. We previously reported that the NHE3 gene (SLC9A3) has more than 400 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) but few nonsynonymous polymorphisms. Among the latter, one polymorphism (rs2247114-G>A), which causes a substitution from arginine to cysteine at amino acid position 799 (p.R799C), is common in Asian populations. To improve our understanding of the population distribution and potential clinical significance of the NHE3-799C variant, we investigated the frequency of this polymorphism in different ethnic groups using bioinformatics analyses and in a cohort of Japanese patients with cardiovascular or renal disease. We also characterized the function of human NHE3-799C and its sensitivity to regulatory ligands in an in vitro model. NHE3-799C had an allele frequency of 29.5-57.6% in Asian populations, 11.1-23.6% in European populations, and 10.2-22.7% in African populations. PS120/FLAG-NHERF2 fibroblasts stably expressing NHE3-799C had lower total protein expression but a higher percentage of surface expression than those expressing NHE3-799R. NHE3-799C ha...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
