Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the distribution of ApoE gene polymorphism in patients with acute cerebral infarction (ACI) and to explore the its correlation with the expression of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2).

Methods

A case-control study was conducted in 112 ACI inpatients that visited the Department of Neurology, the Third People′s Hospital of Liaocheng from July 2015 to June 2017 and 59 age-matched healthy subjects were included as control. Nucleic acid probe hybridization chips were used to detect the genotypes of ApoE and serum Lp-PLA2 was measured by the up-converting luminescence technique.

Results

The allele frequencies of ApoE E2, E3 and E4 in the control group were 21.19%, 73.73% and 5.08%, respectively. The genotype frequency of ApoE conforms to the balance of Hardy-Weinberg. The frequency of E2 allele in ACI group (6.25%) was significantly lower than that in control group (21.19%) (P<0.01). The genotypes of ε2/2 and ε2/3 in ACI group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.05), and the genotype of ε3/4 in ACI group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05). Significantly different levels of the serum Lp-PLA2 were found between the two group (106.16±38.85 ng/ml,in control group and 146.39±57.90 ng/ml in, ACI group, P<0.01). There was no significant difference between the serum level of Lp-PLA2 in the E4 carriers of the control group and in non-E4 carriers of the ACI group (P>0.05), while there were significant differences among the other groups (P<0.01). The AUC value of serum Lp-PLA2 was 0.790 (95%CI 71.9-86.1). The critical point of clinical diagnosis is 123.01ng/ml,the sensitivity was 67.8%, the specificity was 69.6%, and the expression level of Lp-PLA2 was significant (P<0.01) for judging the occurrence of ACI. Logistic regression analysis showed that Lp-PLA2 and ApoE E4 alleles were both risk factors for the diagnosis and treatment of ACI.

Conclusion

The ApoE E4 allele is a risk factor for acute cerebral infarction and Lp-PLA2 expression is closely related with ACI patients. The detection of ApoE genotype and serum Lp-PLA2 is of certain clinical significance in the diagnosis of ACI.
