Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Hypertension is a serious medical condition that can increase the risk of developing heart, brain, kidney, and other diseases. Many asymptomatic hypertension patients experience asymptomatic organ damage (AOD). The purpose of this study was to determine the roles of LncRNA-GAS5 and β- catenin in predicting AOD in hypertensive nondiabetic patients. This study included 256 subjects, 128 hypertension patients (75 of whom had AOD, and 53 of whom did not) and 128 healthy controls. qRT-PCR was used to assess LncRNA-GAS5, and ELISA was used to assess β-catenin. The LncRNA-GAS5 expression level was decreased in hypertensive patients compared to controls (pvalue < 0.001). On the other hand, β-catenin levels showed higher levels in the patients in comparison with controls (p-value < 0.001). A 0.38-fold change in LncRNA-GAS5 expression predicted AOD with 86.6% sensitivity and 88.7% specificity. β-Catenin > 80.5 pg/mL predicted AOD with a sensitivity of 82.6% and specificity of 69.8%. LncRNA-GAS5 expression was a better diagnostic predictor of AOD than β- catenin. According to multivariate logistic regression analysis, decreased LncRNA-GAS5 expression independently increased the risk of AOD (adjusted odds ratio = 0.03 (95% CI: 0.01−0.1) (p < 0.001). Furthermore, elevated β-catenin levels may be an independent risk factor for AOD (adjusted odds ratio = 14.3 (95% confidence interval, 3.3−61.9) (p < 0.001). Collectively, in hypertensive patients, LncRNA GAS5 and β-catenin can distinguish patients with AOD from those who do not have AOD. LncRNA GAS5 and β- catenin can be used as independent predictors of AOD in hypertensive patients.
