Similarly there was no difference detected in the distribution of polymorphisms for the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme gene with the deletion-deletion genotype present in 36% or 13 of the 38 experimental patients and in 31% or 74 of the 241 controls (p = 0.32.
Confluent HUVEC were washed with HBSS and incubated for 30 min at 37°C with various agonists in HBSS with 0.35%BSA: HBSS alone; 0.5 % dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO); ionophore A23187 1-100 μmol/L; phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) 1 μg/mL; human thrombin receptor activating peptide SFLLRNP (TRAP) 1-50 μmol/L; human thrombin (THR) US FDA standard lot J (Bethesda, MD) 0.1-10 NIH Unit/mL; human tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) 3.5 kU/mL or human angiotensin II (AGTII) 1 μmol/L.
The angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) digests angiotensin I to angiotensin II (a potent vasoconstrictor) and is thus involved with the regulation of vascular tone.
Further studies of IL-4-mediated regulation of this and other genes in cluster A, such as those for PAI-1 and TIMP-1, and in cluster E, such as angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), tyrosine kinase receptor (TEK), and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIF-R), are warranted on the basis of the microarray results presented here.
Conflicting results have been reported from studies on the stroke risk factor status of genes related to myocardial infarction or arterial disease, such as specific genotypes of the genes for angiotensin 1-converting enzyme ( ACE ) [ 23 24 25 26 ] or apolipoprotein [ 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 ] . Potential confounding factors include the effects of comorbidity and differential mortality rates [ 34 35 ] . Although the degree of stenosis of the cervical internal carotid arteries in symptomatic patients correlates with risk of ipsilateral stroke [ 36 ] , no clear conclusions can be drawn from attempts to relate carotid artery disease to specific genotypes (for example, of the paraoxonase gene PON, which is thought to protect low-density lipoprotein against oxidative modification [ 37 ] , or of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene [ 38 ] ).
