[Roles of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors polymorphisms, haplotypes, levels on C-reactive protein and their interactions with abnormal body weight].

Objective: To explore the roles of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) on the levels of serum C-reactive protein(CRP)and the interactions of PPARs haplotypes with abnormal body weight.

Methods: Subjects(n = 644)were randomly selected from the cohort 'Prevention of Multiple metabolic disorders and Metabolic syndrome in Jiangsu province(PMMJS)' Variance test, t test and lineal regression were used to analyze the associations between PPARs polymorphisms and the levels of CRP. The association between PPARs haplotypes and serum CRP levels as well as the interaction of PPARs haplotypes with abnormal body weight were analyzed, under the SNPStats software.

Results: After adjusting for sex, age, blood pressure, cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking and so on, data showed that both rs1800206 and rs9794 were associated with the changes along with the levels of CRP (P < 0.05). After adjusting for the same factors, haplotypes of AVG and CVG in PPARα, CG in PPARd appeared to be associated with the increase (P < 0.05)while haplotypes of CC in PPARδ, CPCAC in PPARγ were associated with the decrease of CRP levels (P < 0.05). Results from the Interaction analysis also noted that the interactions did exist between abnormal body weight and both AVG, CVG in PPARα, and CG in PPARδ.

Conclusion: PPARs polymorphisms and haplotypes were associated with CRP. Interaction between PPAR a/d and abnormal body weight might contribute to the levels of CRP.
