Caveolin-1 (CAV-1) plays a crucial role in
endothelial-nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) enzymatic activity. Therefore, CAV-1
and eNOS interactions have a significant impact on endothelial dysfunction,
cholesterol levels, and atherosclerosis. We investigated the critical
variations in NOS3 and CAV1 genes in this case–control study to determine the
relations between the coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. The
NOS3-rs1799983, CAV-1 rs3840634, and rs3807990 variations were analyzed in 76
CHD patients and 91 controls using the polymerase chain reaction. Mean serum
Total-cholesterol levels were significantly higher in CHD patients with the
CAV-1 rs3807990-T allele than in patients with CC genotype (p=0.017). There was
a statistically significant correlation between the rs3807990-T allele and
hypercholesterolemia in the CHD group (p=0.008). The multivariate analysis
confirmed that the CAV-1 rs3807990-T allele (p=0.011) is a risk factor for
hypercholesterolemia. Moreover, the serum HDL-Cholesterol level was detected to
be higher in patients carrying both CAV1-rs3807990-T and NOS3-rs1799983-T
alleles than those with the CAV-1 rs3807990-CC/NOS3-rs1799983-GG genotype
subgroup (p=0.013). These results suggested that the genetic variations of
CAV-1 rs3807990 and NOS3-rs1799983 may contribute to the increased
hypercholesterolemia risk and thus on the development of CHD.
