BACKGROUND: Upregulation of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRalpha) in airway myofibroblast cells is one of the mechanisms of airway remodeling. The genetic association between PDGFRalpha promoter polymorphism and severity of childhood asthma was examined.
METHODS: Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the promoter regions of the PDGFRalpha gene were genotyped in 277 unrelated allergic and nonallergic asthmatic children and 93 age-matched controls. Promoter haplotypes were constructed using SNP genotyping data. The serum level of PDGF-AA, the ligand for PDGFRalpha, was assayed by ELISA kits.
RESULTS: The genotype distribution of SNP rs1800810 (-1171G/C) in nonallergic asthma was significantly different from controls (p=0.038), as well as its allele distribution (p=0.028). Using haplotype analysis, the combination frequency of the low expression of H1 homozygous and heterozygous genotype (H1/H1+H1/H2) was significantly higher in nonallergic asthma as compared to controls (OR=1.94, CI=1.11-3.39, p<0.02). The frequency of H2/H2 homozygous was higher in persistent asthma than in intermittent asthma (p=0.008, OR=2.625). In addition, the PDGF-AA serum level in H2/H2 homozygous haplotype was significantly lower as compared to non-H2/H2 homozygous haplotype both in asthmatic (138.1+/-62.9 vs. 249.7+/-97.1 ng/ml, p<0.05) and nonallergic asthmatic children (113.8+/-38.0 vs. 256.6+/-58.3 ng/ml, p<0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The developmental deficiency due to the low expression of PDGFRalpha may be one of the susceptible factors for nonallergic asthmatic children. There was also an autocrine effect of lower PDGF-AA and higher PDGFRalpha expression that might lead to airway remodeling causing the severity of asthma.
