    Abstract: Blood pressure (BP) responses to dietary sodium and potassium intervention and cold pressor test vary considerably among individuals. We aimed to identify novel genetic variants influencing individuals’ BP responses to dietary intervention and cold pressor test. Methods and Results— We conducted a genome-wide association study of BP responses in 1881 Han Chinese and de novo genotyped top findings in 698 Han Chinese. Diet-feeding study included a 7-day low-sodium (51.3 mmol/d), a 7-day high-sodium (307.8 mmol/d), and a 7-day high-sodium plus potassium supplementation (60 mmol/d). Nine BP measurements were obtained during baseline observation and each intervention period. The meta-analyses identified 8 novel loci for BP phenotypes, which physically mapped in or near PRMT6 ( P =7.29×10 –9 ), CDCA7 ( P =3.57×10 –8 ), PIBF1 ( P =1.78×10 –9 ), ARL4C ( P =1.86×10 –8 ), IRAK1BP1 ( P =1.44×10 −10 ), SALL1 ( P =7.01×10 –13 ), TRPM8 ( P =2.68×10 –8 ), and FBXL13 ( P =3.74×10 –9 ). There was a strong dose–response relationship between the number of risk alleles of these independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms and the risk of developing hypertension during the 7.5-year follow-up in the study participants. Compared with those in the lowest quartile of risk alleles, odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for those in the second, third, and fourth quartiles were 1.39 (0.97, 1.99), 1.72 (1.19, 2.47), and 1.84 (1.29, 2.62), respectively ( P =0.0003 for trend). Conclusions— Our study identified 8 novel loci for BP responses to dietary sodium and potassium intervention and cold pressor test. The effect size of these novel loci on BP phenotypes is much larger than those reported by the previously published studies. Furthermore, these variants predict the risk of developing hypertension among individuals with normal BP at baseline.

    Abstract: Multiple genetic loci associated with lipid levels have been identified predominantly in Europeans, and the issue of to what extent these genetic loci can predict blood lipid levels increases over time and the incidence of future hyperlipidemia remains largely unknown. Methods and Results— We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of lipid levels in 8344 subjects followed by replication studies including 14 739 additional individuals. We replicated 17 previously reported loci. We also newly identified 3 Chinese-specific variants in previous regions ( HLA-C , LIPG , and LDLR ) with genome-wide significance. Almost all the variants contributed to lipid levels change and incident hyperlipidemia 〉 8.1-year follow-up among 6428 individuals of a prospective cohort study. The strongest associations for lipid levels change were detected at LPL , TRIB1 , APOA1-C3-A4-A5 , LIPC , CETP , and LDLR ( P range from 4.84×10 −4 to 4.62×10 −18 ), whereas LPL , TRIB1 , ABCA1 , APOA1-C3-A4-A5 , CETP , and APOE displayed significant strongest associations for incident hyperlipidemia ( P range from 1.20×10 −3 to 4.67×10 −16 ). The 4 lipids genetic risk scores were independently associated with linear increases in their corresponding lipid levels and risk of incident hyperlipidemia. A C -statistics analysis showed significant improvement in the prediction of incident hyperlipidemia on top of traditional risk factors including the baseline lipid levels. Conclusions— These findings identified some evidence for allelic heterogeneity in Chinese when compared with Europeans in relation to lipid associations. The individual variants and those cumulative effects were independent risk factors for lipids increase and incident hyperlipidemia.

    Abstract: Although multiple genetic markers associated with blood pressure have been identified by genome-wide association studies, their aggregate effect on risk of incident hypertension and cardiovascular disease is uncertain, particularly among East Asian who may have different genetic and environmental exposures from Europeans. We aimed to examine the association between genetic predisposition to higher blood pressure and risk of incident hypertension and cardiovascular disease in 26 262 individuals in 2 Chinese population-based prospective cohorts. A genetic risk score was calculated based on 22 established variants for blood pressure in East Asian. We found the genetic risk score was significantly and independently associated with linear increases in blood pressure and risk of incident hypertension and cardiovascular disease ( P range from 4.57×10 –3 to 3.10×10 –6 ). In analyses adjusted for traditional risk factors including blood pressure, individuals carrying most blood pressure–related risk alleles (top quintile of genetic score distribution) had 40% (95% confidence interval, 18–66) and 26% (6–45) increased risk for incident hypertension and cardiovascular disease, respectively, when compared with individuals in the bottom quintile. The genetic risk score also significantly improved discrimination for incident hypertension and cardiovascular disease and led to modest improvements in risk reclassification for cardiovascular disease (all the P 〈 0.05). Our data indicate that genetic predisposition to higher blood pressure is an independent risk factor for blood pressure increase and incident hypertension and cardiovascular disease and provides modest incremental information to cardiovascular disease risk prediction. The potential clinical use of this panel of blood pressure–associated polymorphisms remains to be determined.

    Abstract: Higher blood pressure (BP) response to cold pressor test (CPT) is associated with increased risk of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. However, it is unknown whether BP response to CPT is a stable and reproducible trait. We repeated the CPT among 568 Han Chinese who participated in the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Salt Sensitivity (GenSalt) four years after the original study. The same CPT protocol was applied in the original and repeated studies. BP was measured prior to and at 0, 1, 2, and 4 minutes after the participants immersed their hand in ice water (3 o C to 5 o C) for 1 minute using a standard mercury sphygmomanometer. On average, study participants were 39.0 years old and 54.0% of them were male. The mean body mass index was 23.6 kg/m 2 , systolic BP was 117.8 mmHg, and diastolic BP was 74.5 mmHg at baseline among study participants. The mean (standard deviation) of systolic BP responses at time 0 and 1 minutes, maximum responses, and area-under-the-curve during CPT were 13.3 (10.1), 4.2 (6.0), 13.6 (9.8) and 10.8 (17.6) mmHg in the original study and 11.1 (9.5), 4.1 (6.0), 11.7 (8.9), and 10.1 (17.1) mmHg in the repeated study. BP responses in the original and repeated studies were highly correlated. For example, the correlation coefficients for systolic BP responses to CPT were 0.4137 at time 0 minute, 0.3711 at time 1 minute, 0.4221 for the maximum responses, and 0.3641 for area-under-the-curve during CPT (all p 〈 0.0001). These data indicate that BP response to CPT is a stable and reproducible trait. Furthermore, BP responses to CPT may be useful for identifying individuals at high risk for hypertension.

    Abstract: It is well known that blood pressure (BP) responses to dietary sodium and potassium intakes vary among individuals (salt- and potassium-sensitivity). However, it is unknown whether salt- and/or potassium-sensitivity predict the risk of hypertension. We conducted a dietary sodium and potassium intervention study among 1,906 Han Chinese in 2003-05 and followed the study participants in 2008-09 and 2011-12. The dietary intervention included a 7-day low sodium-feeding (51.3 mmol/day), a 7-day high sodium-feeding (307.8 mmol/day), and a 7-day high sodium-feeding with an oral potassium supplementation (60 mmol/day). Three BP measurements were obtained on each of the last 3 days of each intervention period at the baseline and each of the 3 days of follow-up examinations. Systolic BP responses (mean ± SD) to dietary intervention were -5.5±7.0 for low-sodium, 4.9±6.0 for high-sodium, and -3.5±5.5 for potassium-supplementation. Over an average of 7.4 years of follow-up, we identified 455 incidence hypertension cases (systolic BP≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg and/or use of antihypertensive medication). The age-adjusted cumulative incidences of hypertension by the quartiles of systolic BP responses to dietary intervention were showed in the following table. These associations remained after adjustment for multiple covariates. These data indicate that BP responses to dietary sodium and potassium intervention are related to the subsequent risk of hypertension. Furthermore, our study suggests that individuals who are more sensitive to dietary sodium and potassium intake are at an increased risk for hypertension and should be target for dietary intervention.

    Abstract: It is well known that blood pressure (BP) responses to dietary sodium intake vary among individuals (salt-sensitivity and salt-resistance). However, it is unknown whether salt-sensitivity and salt-resistance predict the risk of hypertension. We conducted a dietary sodium intervention study among 1,906 Han Chinese in 2003-05 and followed the study participants in 2008-09 and 2011-12. The dietary intervention included a 7-day low-sodium feeding (51.3 mmol/day) and a 7-day high-sodium feeding (307.8 mmol/day). Three BP measurements were obtained during each of the 3 days of baseline observation and on days 5, 6, and 7 of each intervention period. We used latent class models to identify subgroups that share a similar underlying trajectory in BP responses to sodium intervention. Over an average of 7.4 years of follow-up, we identified 514 incident hypertension cases. The mean (standard deviation) change in systolic BP during low-sodium and high-sodium interventions according to salt-sensitive and -resistant groups are shown in the following table. In addition, age, sex, and baseline BP-adjusted and multiple-adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) of incident hypertension are shown in the following table. These data indicate that high responses or non-responses to dietary sodium intervention are related to the risk of hypertension. Furthermore, this is the first prospective cohort study to indicate that individuals with either salt-sensitivity or salt-resistance are at an increased risk for hypertension and should be targeted for dietary intervention.

    Abstract: The cold pressor test (CPT), which measures the response of blood pressure (BP) to the stimulus of external cold, has long been a standard test to characterize sympathetic nervous system activity and has been documented to predict cardiovascular risk. We conducted a CPT among 1,998 Han Chinese in 2003-05 and followed the study participants in 2008-09 and 2011-12 for incidence of hypertension. CPT was conducted after the participant had remained sitting for 20 minutes. The participant immersed his or her left hand in the ice water bath (3°C to 5°C) for 1 minute and BP measurements at 0, 60, 120, and 240 seconds were obtained after the left hand had been removed from the ice water bath. During the follow-up examinations, 3 BP measurements were obtained on each of 3 clinical visits. The maximum and area-under-curve (AUC) of systolic BP responses (mean ± SD) to CPT were 13.9±10.2 and 17.1±22.9 at the baseline examination. Over an average of 7.4 years of follow-up, we identified 490 incidence hypertension cases (systolic BP≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg and/or use of antihypertensive medication). The age-adjusted cumulative incidences of hypertension by the quartiles of systolic BP responses to CPT were showed in the following table. These associations remained after adjustment for multiple covariates. Our study identified a strong and independent association between BP responses to CPT and subsequent incidence of hypertension. These data suggest that increased sympathetic nervous system activity may play a role in the development of hypertension.

    Abstract: Urine excretion of angiotensinogen (AGT) has been proposed as a biomarker of intrarenal renin-angiotensin system activity, and therefore as a proxy for blood pressure regulation and sodium homeostasis. The association between urine levels of AGT and blood pressure response to dietary sodium intake has not been previously examined in the general population. We assessed the hypothesis that there is a direct relationship between urine levels of AGT and salt-sensitivity of blood pressure among participants of the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Salt Sensitivity (GenSalt) replication study. A 7-day low-sodium intervention, followed by a 7-day high-sodium intervention was carried out among 698 GenSalt-replication study participants from rural areas of north China. Absolute urine AGT excretion (μg/24 hours) and AGT-to-creatinine ratio (AGT/Cr, μg/g) were estimated at baseline for a random sample of 100 study participants. Nine blood pressure measurements were obtained at baseline and on the last three days of each intervention period. The absolute and percent changes in mean blood pressure from low-sodium to high-sodium intervention were used to assess salt-sensitivity. Median AGT and AGT/Cr were significantly (both p=0.01) reduced during the low-sodium intervention (AGT: 7.16 μg/24 hours, AGT/Cr: 8.36 μg/g) and increased during the high-sodium intervention (AGT: 8.84 μg/24 hours, AGT/Cr: 10.92 μg/g) compared to baseline (AGT: 8.28 μg/24 hours, AGT/Cr: 9.40 μg/g). Log-transformed AGT and AGT/Cr ratio at baseline was significantly and positively associated with blood pressure at baseline and at the end of each intervention. For example, one standard deviation higher log-transformed AGT/Cr ratio (1.2 μg/g) was associated with a 4.0 mm Hg (95% confidence interval: 1.3, 6.7) higher systolic blood pressure level at the end of the high-sodium intervention (p=0.004). One standard deviation higher log-transformed AGT/Cr ratio was associated with 1.58-times increased odds of high salt-sensitivity (≥5% change) of blood pressure (95% confidence interval: 1.00, 2.50; p=0.049). Log-transformed AGT/Cr ratio at baseline was positively associated with absolute and percent systolic blood pressure change from low- to high-sodium interventions (absolute: r=0.23, p=0.02; percent: r=0.20, p=0.047). In conclusion, elevated levels of urine AGT are associated with sodium-sensitivity of blood pressure. Augmentation of renal-angiotensin system activity may play an important role in the development of salt-sensitive hypertension.

    Abstract: The kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of salt-sensitive hypertension in animal models. We comprehensively examined the association between genetic variants of the KKS and blood pressure (BP) response to dietary sodium intervention among participants of the Genetic Epidemiology Network of Salt Sensitivity (GenSalt) study. A 7-day low-sodium dietary intervention followed by a 7-day high-sodium dietary intervention was carried out among 1,906 GenSalt participants from rural areas of north China. Nine BP measurements were obtained at baseline and on the last three days of each intervention period using a random-zero sphygmomanometer. The percentage changes in mean BP from baseline to low-sodium intervention and from low-sodium to high-sodium intervention were used to assess individual salt-sensitivity. A total of 205 tagSNPs and functional SNPs of eleven genes of the KKS ( BDKRB1 , BDKRB2 , CPN1 , CPN2 , CPM , ECE1 , KLK1 , KLKB1 , KNG1 , MME , SERPINA4 ) were selected and genotyped in this study. Single marker analyses were conducted using the Family Based Association Test program. Genetic variants in the bradykinin receptor B2 ( BDKRB2 ) and endothelin converting enzyme 1 ( ECE1 ) genes showed significant associations with salt sensitivity even after adjusting for multiple testing using the false discovery rate method. SNP rs11847625 of BDKRB2 was significantly associated with systolic BP (SBP) response to low-sodium intervention ( P = 0.0001). Compared to its major allele G, carriers of the minor allele C had greater SBP decrease during low-sodium intervention. Furthermore, a haplotype containing allele C was associated with greater SBP increase to high-sodium intervention ( P = 0.0009). Seven SNPs of ECE1 , one of the degrading enzymes of kinins, were significantly associated with diastolic BP (DBP) response to low-sodium intervention ( P values ranged from 0.0003 to 0.002). Two haplotypes in the linkage disequilibrium block including these seven SNPs were significantly associated with DBP response to low-sodium intervention (P=0.0004 and 0.003, respectively). Our study found that the genetic variants of the KKS were associated with salt sensitivity of BP. Replication and functional studies of the identified variants are warranted in the future.
