    Kurzfassung: High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a noncardiogenic form of pulmonary edema, which is induced upon exposure to hypobaric hypoxia at high altitude (HA). Hypobaric hypoxia generates reactive oxygen species that may damage telomeres and disturb normal physiological processes. Telomere complex comprises of multiple proteins, of which, tankyrase (TNKS) is actively involved in DNA damage repairs. We hence investigated the association of TNKS and telomeres with HAPE to delineate their potential role at HA. The study was performed in three groups, High-altitude pulmonary edema patients (HAPE-p, n = 200), HAPE-resistant sojourners (HAPE-r, n = 200) and highland permanent healthy residents (HLs, n = 200). Variants of TNKS were genotyped using polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism. Plasma TNKS level was estimated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, expression of TNKS and relative telomere length were assessed by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), and telomerase activity was assessed by the telomere repeat amplification protocol assay. TNKS poly-ADP ribosylates the telomere-repeat factor (TRF), which is a negative regulator of telomere length. Consequently, TRF expression was also measured by RT-qPCR. The TNKS heterozygotes rs7015700GA were prevalent in HLs compared to the HAPE-p and HAPE-r. The plasma TNKS was significantly decreased in HAPE-p than HAPE-r (P = 0.006). TNKS was upregulated 9.27 folds in HAPE-p (P = 1.01E-06) and downregulated in HLs by 3.3 folds (P = 0.02). The telomere length was shorter in HAPE-p compared to HAPE-r (P = 0.03) and HLs (P = 4.25E-4). The telomerase activity was significantly higher in HAPE-p compared to both HAPE-r (P = 0.01) and HLs (P = 0.001). HAPE-p had the lowest TNKS levels (0.186 ± 0.031 ng/μl) and the highest telomerase activity (0.0268 amoles/μl). The findings of the study indicate the association of TNKS and telomeres with HA adaptation/maladaptation.

    Kurzfassung: Dexamethasone can be taken prophylactically to prevent hypobaric hypoxia-associated disorders of high-altitude. While dexamethasone-mediated protection against high-altitude disorders has been clinically evaluated, detailed sex-based mechanistic insights have not been explored. As part of our India-Leh-Dexamethasone-expedition-2020 (INDEX 2020) programme, we examined the phenotype of control ( n = 14) and dexamethasone ( n = 13) groups, which were airlifted from Delhi (∼225 m elevation) to Leh, Ladakh (∼3,500 m), India, for 3 days. Dexamethasone 4 mg twice daily significantly attenuated the rise in blood pressure, heart rate, pulmonary pressure, and drop in SaO 2 resulting from high-altitude exposure compared to control-treated subjects. Of note, the effect of dexamethasone was substantially greater in women than in men, in whom the drug had relatively little effect. Thus, for the first time, this study shows a sex-biased regulation by dexamethasone of physiologic parameters resulting from the hypoxic environment of high-altitude, which impacts the development of high-altitude pulmonary hypertension and acute mountain sickness. Future studies of cellular contributions toward sex-specific regulation may provide further insights and preventive measures in managing sex-specific, high-altitude–related disorders.

    Kurzfassung: The dramatic changes in physiology at high altitude (HA) as a result of the characteristic hypobaric hypoxia condition can modify innate and adaptive defense mechanisms of the body. As a consequence, few sojourners visiting HA with mild or asymptomatic infection may have an enhanced susceptibility to high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE), an acute but severe altitude sickness. It develops upon rapid ascent to altitudes above 2500 m, in otherwise healthy individuals. Though HAPE has been studied extensively, an elaborate exploration of the HA disease burden and the potential risk factors associated with its manifestation are poorly described. The present review discusses respiratory tract infection (RTI) as an unfamiliar but important risk factor in enhancing HAPE susceptibility in sojourners for two primary reasons. First, the symptoms of RTI s resemble those of HAPE. Secondly, the imbalanced pathways contributing to vascular dysfunction in HAPE also participate in the pathogenesis of the infectious processes. These pathways have a crucial role in shaping host response against viral and bacterial infections and may further worsen the clinical outcomes at HA. Respiratory tract pathogenic agents, if screened in HAPE patients, can help in ascertaining their role in disease risk and also point toward their association with the disease severity. The microbial screenings and identifications of pathogens with diseases are the foundation for describing potential molecular mechanisms underlying host response to the microbial challenge. The prior knowledge of such infections may predict the manifestation of disease etiology and provide better therapeutic options.

    Kurzfassung: HAPE (high-altitude pulmonary oedema) is characterized by pulmonary hypertension, vasoconstriction and an imbalance in oxygen-sensing redox switches. Excess ROS (reactive oxygen species) contribute to endothelial damage under hypobaric hypoxia, hence the oxidative-stress-related genes CYBA (cytochrome b−245 α polypeptide) and GSTP1 (glutathione transferase Pi 1) are potential candidate genes for HAPE. In the present study, we investigated the polymorphisms −930A/G and H72Y (C/T) of CYBA and I105V (A/G) and A114V (C/T) of GSTP1, individually and in combination, in 150 HAPE-p (HAPE patients), 180 HAPE-r (HAPE-resistant lowland natives) and 180 HLs (healthy highland natives). 8-Iso-PGF2α (8-iso-prostaglandin F2α) levels were determined in plasma and were correlated with individual alleles, genotype, haplotype and gene–gene interactions. The relative expression of CYBA and GSTP1 were determined in peripheral blood leucocytes. The genotype distribution of −930A/G, H72Y (C/T) and I105V (A/G) differed significantly in HAPE-p compared with HAPE-r and HLs (P≤0.01). The haplotypes G-C of −930A/G and H72Y (C/T) in CYBA and G-C and G-T of I105V (A/G) and A114V (C/T) in GSTP1 were over-represented in HAPE-p; in contrast, haplotypes A-T of −930A/G and H72Y (C/T) in CYBA and A-C of I105V (A/G) and A114V (C/T) in GSTP1 were over-represented in HAPE-r and HLs. 8-Iso-PGF2α levels were significantly higher in HAPE-p and in HLs than in HAPE-r (P=2.2×10−16 and 1.2×10−14 respectively) and the expression of CYBA and GSTP1 varied differentially (P & lt;0.05). Regression analysis showed that the risk alleles G, C, G and T of −930A/G, H72Y (C/T), I105V (A/G) and A114V (C/T) were associated with increased 8-iso-PGF2α levels (P & lt;0.05). Interaction between the two genes revealed over-representation of most of the risk-allele-associated genotype combinations in HAPE-p and protective-allele-associated genotype combinations in HLs. In conclusion, the risk alleles of CYBA and GSTP1, their haplotypes and gene–gene interactions are associated with imbalanced oxidative stress and, thereby, with high-altitude adaptation and mal-adaptation.

    Kurzfassung: The genes of the renin—angiotensin system (RAS) play an important role in the regulation of pulmonary vascular tone. Although studies on individual genes polymorphisms have reported association with high-altitude pulmonary oedema (HAPE), studies on multiple genes or epistasis are lacking. We therefore investigated the association of the RAS polymorphisms with HAPE. In a case-control design, we screened 163 HAPE-resistant/controls (HAPE-r) and 160 HAPEpatients (HAPE-p) of Indian origin for eight polymorphisms of four RAS genes, ACE, AGT, AGTR1 and AGTR2. Significant difference in genotype and allele frequencies of the ACE I/D and AGT M235T polymorphisms was observed between HAPE-p and HAPE-r ( p 〈 0.05). In three-locus haplotype analysis of AGT the haplotype GTM was significantly higher in HAPE-p (29%) and haplotype GTT in HAPE-r (27%) after Bonferroni correction ( p 〈 0.006). The differences were insignificant for polymorphisms from AGTR1 and AGTR2. The MDR (multifactor dimensional reduction) approach for gene—gene interaction depicted individual polymorphism M235T as the best disease predicting model (cross validation consistency, CVC = 10/10). We found a significant association of D allele of ACE and M allele of AGT with HAPE. The findings are supported at the haplotypic level as well as through nested genetic interaction between the RAS gene polymorphisms using the MDR approach.

    Kurzfassung: EGLN1 [encoding HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor)-prolyl hydroxylase 2] plays a pivotal role in the HIF pathway and has emerged as one of the most intriguing genes with respect to physiology at HA (high altitude). EGLN1, being an actual oxygen sensor, appears to have a potential role in the functional adaptation to the hypobaric hypoxic environment. In the present study, we screened 30 polymorphisms of EGLN1, evaluated its gene expression and performed association analyses. In addition, the role of allelic variants in altering TF (transcription factor)-binding sites and consequently the replacement of TFs at these loci was also investigated. The study was performed in 250 HAPE-p [HAPE (HA pulmonary oedema)-patients] , 210 HAPE-f (HAPE-free controls) and 430 HLs (healthy Ladakhi highland natives). The genotypes of seven polymorphisms, rs1538664, rs479200, rs2486729, rs2790879, rs480902, rs2486736 and rs973252, differed significantly between HAPE-p and HAPE-f (P & lt;0.008). The genotypes AA, TT, AA, GG, CC, AA and GG of rs1538664, rs479200, rs2486729, rs2790879, rs480902, rs2486736 and rs973252, prevalent in HAPE-p, were identified as risk genotypes and their counterpart homozygotes, prevalent in HLs, were identified as protective. EGLN1 expression was up-regulated 4.56-fold in HAPE-p (P=0.0084). The risk genotypes, their haplotypes and interacting genotypes were associated with up-regulated EGLN1 expression (P & lt;0.05). Similarly, regression analysis showed that the risk alleles and susceptible haplotypes were associated with decreased SaO2 (arterial oxygen saturation) levels in the three groups. The significant inverse correlation of SaO2 levels with PASP (pulmonary artery systolic pressure) and EGLN1 expression and the association of these polymorphisms with SaO2 levels and EGLN1 expression contributed to uncovering the molecular mechanism underlying hypobaric hypoxic adaptation and maladaptation.
