Genetic Polymorphism of the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) in Asthmatic Patients
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Elsevier - Publisher Connector RESPIRATORY MEDICINE (1998) 92, 1305-1310 Original Articles Genetic polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) in asthmatic patients H. TOMITA, S. SATO, R. MATSUDA, N. OGISU, T. MORI, T. NIIMI AND S. SHIMIZU 2nd Department of Intemal Medicine, Nagoya City University Medical School, Nagoya, Japan Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inactivates bradykinin, substance P and neurokinin A, which are believed to play important roles in the pathogenesis of asthma, especially in neurogenic inflammation. It has recently been shown that an insertion (1)ldeletion (D) polymorphism in the ACE gene accounts for variation in serum ACE levels. There are thus three genotypes (insertion homozygote, II; deletion homozygote, DD; heterozygotes, DI). The serum ACE level with the DD type is reported to be about double that of the II type and intermediate in the DI case. In the present study, we examined whether asthma is linked with this ACE gene polymorphism. Seventy-one patients with asthma (27 males and 44 females) and 142 sex- and age-matched healthy controls were determined for their genotype by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method. Twenty-five asthmatics demonstrated the II type (352%) 37 the DI type (52.1%), and nine the DD type (12.7%). There were no significant differences in the distributions of genotypes and serum ACE levels between healthy controls and patients. No significant differences were evident in serum IgE levels, age at onset, proportion of atopic type patients and severity of asthma among the three genotypes. -

Because of its specificity toward proline, it has been suggested that X-Prolyl Aminopeptidase is important in the maturation and degradation of peptide hormones, neuropeptides, and tachykinins, as well as in the digestion of otherwise resistant dietary protein fragments, thereby complementing the pancreatic peptidases. -
