Loss of Cardioprotective Effects at the ADAMTS7 Locus as a Result of Gene-Smoking Interactions
BACKGROUND: Common diseases such as coronary heart disease (CHD) are complex in etiology. The interaction of genetic susceptibility with lifestyle factors may play a prominent role. However, gene-lifestyle interactions for CHD have been difficult to identify. Here, we investigate interaction of smoking behavior, a potent lifestyle factor, with genotypes that have been shown to associate with CHD risk. METHODS: We analyzed data on 60 919 CHD cases and 80 243 controls from 29 studies for gene-smoking interactions for genetic variants at 45 loci previously reported to be associated with CHD risk. We also studied 5 loci associated with smoking behavior. Study-specific gene-smoking interaction effects were calculated and pooled using fixed-effects meta-analyses. Interaction analyses were declared to be significant at a P value of <1.0x10(-3) (Bonferroni correction for 50 tests). RESULTS: We identified novel gene-smoking interaction for a variant upstream of the ADAMTS7 gene. Every T allele of rs7178051 was associated with lower CHD risk by 12% in never-smokers (P= 1.3x10(-16)) in comparison with 5% in ever-smokers (P= 2.5x10(-4)), translating to a 60% loss of CHD protection conferred by this allelic variation in people who smoked tobacco (interaction P value= 8.7x10(-5)). The protective T allele at rs7178051 was also associated with reduced ADAMTS7 expression in human aortic endothelial cells and lymphoblastoid cell lines. Exposure of human coronary artery smooth muscle cells to cigarette smoke extract led to induction of ADAMTS7. CONCLUSIONS: Allelic variation at rs7178051 that associates with reduced ADAMTS7 expression confers stronger CHD protection in never-smokers than in ever-smokers. Increased vascular ADAMTS7 expression may contribute to the loss of CHD protection in smokers.Peer reviewe

Enabling Efficient and Confident Annotation of LC−MS Metabolomics Data through MS1 Spectrum and Time Prediction
Liquid chromatography coupled to
electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry
(LC–ESI-MS) is a versatile and robust platform for metabolomic
analysis. However, while ESI is a soft ionization technique, in-source
phenomena including multimerization, nonproton cation adduction, and
in-source fragmentation complicate interpretation of MS data. Here,
we report chromatographic and mass spectrometric behavior of 904 authentic
standards collected under conditions identical to a typical nontargeted
profiling experiment. The data illustrate that the often high level
of complexity in MS spectra is likely to result in misinterpretation
during the annotation phase of the experiment and a large overestimation
of the number of compounds detected. However, our analysis of this
MS spectral library data indicates that in-source phenomena are not
random but depend at least in part on chemical structure. These nonrandom
patterns enabled predictions to be made as to which in-source signals
are likely to be observed for a given compound. Using the authentic
standard spectra as a training set, we modeled the in-source phenomena
for all compounds in the Human Metabolome Database to generate a theoretical
in-source spectrum and retention time library. A novel spectral similarity
matching platform was developed to facilitate efficient spectral searching
for nontargeted profiling applications. Taken together, this collection
of experimental spectral data, predictive modeling, and informatic
tools enables more efficient, reliable, and transparent metabolite
annotation
