Blood Pressure Genetics in Han Taiwanese With Cross-Trait Analysis in East Asians: Insights Into Comorbidities, All-Cause Mortality, and Cardiovascular Mortality.

BACKGROUND: Hypertension is a major health burden in East Asia. However, the genetic architecture and clinical implications of blood pressure (BP) traits remain underexplored beyond European-focused studies. This large-scale study aimed to investigate hypertension, systolic BP, and diastolic BP, to uncover genetic links to comorbidities and mortality in Han Taiwanese individuals. METHODS: This large-scale study used China Medical University Hospital biobank data and conducted genome-wide association studies on 25 523 hypertension cases and 47 522 controls, plus 66 236 individuals for systolic BP and 66 152 for diastolic BP. Cross-trait genetic correlations were assessed across 5 East Asian biobanks. Mendelian randomization and polygenic risk scores were applied to assess causality and predict clinical outcomes. RESULTS: We identified 8 loci and 36 genes for hypertension, 7 loci and 17 genes for systolic BP, and 9 loci and 26 genes for diastolic BP. ATP2B1 and FGF5 were common to all BP traits, implicating calcium signaling and vascular remodeling pathways. Cross-trait analyses showed shared genetic liability between BP traits and cardiovascular and metabolic comorbidities. Phenome-wide association studies confirmed strong associations with circulatory diseases. Mendelian randomization analyses demonstrated that elevated BP causally increases the risk of unstable angina pectoris. Polygenic risk scores predicted significantly higher risks and earlier onset of unstable angina pectoris, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality among individuals in the top polygenic risk score quintiles. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings highlight the genetic basis of BP and comorbidities in East Asians, suggesting that BP genetic risk may inform future approaches to early risk assessment and prevention.

A comparative study of brain Ca2+-ATPases.

1. Particulate brain ATPases from various vertebrates were optimally activated by Ca2+, Mg2+ or Mn2+. 2. Specific enzyme activity with AT32P as substrate was low in lower vertebrates and increased on the evolutionary scale. 3. The properties of the brain ATPases suggested that most of the activity was associated with plasma membrane ecto-ATPase.

Ultrastructural cytochemical studies of plasma membrane phosphatase activities during the HeLa S3 cell cycle.

Alkaline phosphatase (AP), 5'-nucleotidase (5'N), Mg2+-activated ATPase (Mg-ATPase) and Ca2+-activated ATPase (Ca-ATPase) were studied in sychronized HeLa S3 cells with cytochemical methods and electron microscopy. It was found that AP activity, as determined by the deposition of lead phosphate reaction product (r.p.) was most active in mitotic (M), early and middle G1 cells, less active in late G1 and almost undetectable in S phase cells. Most AP enzyme activity was found to be associated with undulations (mainly microvilli) of the plasma membrane. Fluctuations and the redistribution of 5'N were also observed; the reaction for 5'N was positive in all phases of the cell cycle studied, it was strongest in M cells and in the majority of middle G1 cells. Mg-ATPase activity was present in the plasma membranes of cells throughout the cell cycle, but did not show noticeable fluctuations in activity and distribution. Ca-ATPase activity appeared in plasma membranes and in limited areas of cell nuclei but was evident only in S phase cells. The results of the present study confirm and extend previous biochemical observations and indicate that changes in membrane phosphate activities are associated with enzyme activity redistributions within the plasma membrane during the HeLa S3 cell cycle.

Phosphorprotein intermediate in the Ca2+-dependent ATPase reaction of macrophage plasma membrane.

ATPase activity and phosphorylation by [gamma-32P] ATP of isolated plasma membrane of alveolar macorphages are stimulated in a parallel fashion by physiologic concentrations of Ca2+, with half-maximal activating effect of this ion at (3--7) X 10(-7) M. For various membrane preparations, a direct proportionality exists between Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity and amount of 32P incorporated. Labeling of membrane attains the steady-state level by 10 sec at 0 degrees C, and is rapidly reversed by adenosine diphosphate (ADP), K+ decreases the amount of membrane-bound 32P, mainly by enhancing the rate of dephosphorylation of the 32P-intermediate. Hydroxylamine causes a release of about 90% of 32P bound to the membrane, thus indicating that the 32P-intermediate contains an acyl-phosphate bond. When the labeled plasma membrane is solubilized and electrophoresed on acrylamide gels in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulphate, the radioactivity appears to be largely associated with a single protein fraction of 132,000 +/- 2,000 aarent molecular weight. These features of the macrophage Ca2+-ATPase suggest that the enzyme activity might be part of a surface-localized Ca1+-extrusion system, participating in the regulation of Ca2+-dependent activities of the macrophage.

Purification and reconstitution of the Ca2+-ATPase from plasma membrane of pig erythrocytes.

The Ca2+-ATPase from plasma membranes of pig erythrocytes was purified by mixed micelle gel chromatography (Wolf, H.U., Diekvoss, G., and Lichtner, R. (1977) Acta Biol. Med. Germ. 36, 847-858). The enzyme was activated at high concentrations of Tween 20 (10 mg/ml) or by appropriate mixtures of Triton X-100 and phospholipids. It was highly unstable in the absence of Ca2+ and activator protein. The Ca2+-ATPase was incorporated into liposomes by freeze-thaw sonication. After removal of non-ionic detergent by passage through a phenyl Sepharose 4B column, the reconstituted vesicles catalyzed a rapid ATP-dependent uptake of Ca2+. Modulator protein from brain substituted for the natural activator protein and stimulated Ca2+ uptake in reconstituted vesicles.

Ca2+ translocation in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells.

Ca2+ uptake into Ehrlich ascites tumor cells was studied at 0 degrees C in the presence of mitochondrial inhibitors, conditions that minimized complications caused by sequestration of Ca2+ into organelles or by excretion. Under these conditions Ruthenium Red inhibited Ca2+ uptake, but other previously implicated ions, such as Pi or Mg2+, had no effect. Valinomycin either inhibited or slightly stimulated Ca2+ uptake depending on the presence of excess K+ on the outside or inside of the cell, respectively. Nigericin inhibited Ca2+ transport. Based on these data we propose an electrogenic uptake of Ca2+, possibly via a Ca2+/H+ antiport mechanism. The observation that glucose inhibited Ca2+ uptake suggested that in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells an energy-driven Ca2+ expulsion mechanism is operative, similar to that in erythrocytes. Plasma membrane preparations of ascites tumor cells were found to contain a Ca2+-dependent ATPase. These preparations, when incorporated into liposomes in an inside-out orientation, catalyzed an ATP-dependent uptake of Ca2+.

Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity of alveolar macrophage plasma membrane.

A plasma membrane fraction was isolated from lysates of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin-induced alveolar macrophages of rabbit. On the basis of morphological and biochemical criteria this fraction appeared to be minimally contaminated by other subcellular organelles. Concentrations of Ca2+, but not of Mg2+, from 6.10(-8) to 1.10(-5) M markedly stimulated the basal ATPase (EC 3.6.1.3) activity of the plasma membrane, with an apparent Km (Ca2+) of 1.10(-6) M. The specific activity of the Ca2+-ATPase assayed at pCa = 5.5 was enriched about 8-fold in the plasma membrane fraction over the macrophage lysate. In contrast, the specific activity of the K+, EDTA-activated ATPase, associated to macrophage myosin, increased only 1.3-fold. Oligomycin and -SH group reagents exerted no influence on the Ca2+-ATPase activity, which was on the contrary inhibited by detergents such as Triton X-100 and deoxycholate. The activity of the Ca2+-ATPase was maximal at pH 7, and was decreased by 50 mM Na+ and 5 mM K+. On the contrary, the activity of Mg2+-ATPase, also present in the plasma membrane fraction, had a peak at about pH 7.8, and was stimulated by Na+ plus K+. On account of its properties, it is suggested that the Ca2+-ATPase is a component of the plasma membrane of the alveolar macrophage, and that its function may be that of participating in the maintenance of low free Ca2+ concentrations in the macrophage cytosol.

Direct addition of insulin inhibits a high affinity Ca2+-ATPase in isolated adipocyte plasma membranes.

The mechanism by which insulin regulates cellular metabolism remains unknown although indirect evidence suggests that alterations in intracellular calcium are important. More specifically, it has been proposed that insulin triggers an increase in intracellular calcium which is responsible for the subsequent modification of metabolic activities. The cell maintains a large electrochemical gradient for ionised calcium between the cytoplasm (less than 10(-6) M, as determined for muscle and nerve) and the extracellular environment (less than 10(-3) M). The plasma membrane may, therefore, be important in the regulation of calcium homeostasis, as a slight alteration in the processes maintaining this gradient could result in marked changes in cytoplasmic calcium. One such process is the active extrusion of calcium from the cell by a high affinity calcium-stimulated ATPase (Ca2+-ATPase). Such a mechanism has been well established in red cells and is postulated in nerve, liver and muscle. We have identified a high affinity Ca2+-ATPase in a plasma membrane-enriched subcellular fraction isolated from rat adipocytes which may provide the enzymatic basis for a calcium extrusion pump. We demonstrate here that the Ca2+-ATPase is specifically inhibited by the direct addition of physiological concentrations of insulin to the direct addition of physiological concentrations of insulin to the isolated plasma membranes. This effect suggests that direct regulation of calcium homeostasis may represent an important event in the mechanism of action of insulin.

Calcium ion-dependent adenosine triphosphatase activity and plasma-membrane phosphorylation in the human neutrophil.

A plasma-membrane fraction was isolated from a post-nuclear extract of human neutrophils by centrifugation through a linear sucrose density gradient. This fraction exhibited a Ca2+-dependent adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity that could be differentiated from mitochondrial or myosin ATPase and from plasma-membrane Mg2+-dependent ATPase. When assayed in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP, the Ca2+-dependent ATPase reaction resulted in the formation of an acid-resistant hydroxylamine-sensitive bond between the gamma-[32P] phosphate group and a membrane protein subunit with an apparent mol.wt. of 135000. Half-maximal activating effect of Ca2+ was found at 82nM and 0.18 microM for the ATPase and the formation of the 32P-membrane complex respectively. Generation of the phosphorylated product attained the steady state at 0 degrees C by about 30s, and was rapidly reversed by ADP. These results suggest that the Ca2+-activated ATPase reaction occurs through the formation of a phosphoprotein intermediate, similar to that described for some Ca2+-dependent ATPase enzymes associated with Ca2+ transport. The possibility thus exists that the neutrophil Ca2+-dependent ATPase catalyses a process of Ca2+ extrusion from the cell, thereby participating in the regulation of several Ca2+-dependent neutrophil functions.

Characterization of (Mg,Ca)-ATPase activity in rat pancreatic plasma membranes.

1. Pancreatic plasma membranes containing a high adenylate cyclase activity and a low contamination by cytochrome c oxidase were isolated from the rat by sucrose density centrifugation. The preparation contained an (Mg,Ca)-ATPase of high activity with the following characteristics. 2. The ATPase activity was shown to have two apparent Km values for Mg-ATP (0.24 +/- 0.09 mM and 1.15 +/- 0.21 mM) and two apparent Km values for Ca-ATP (0.14 +/- 0.09 mM and 0.68 +/- 0.10 mM). Mg-GTP and Ca-GTP were also hydrolysed by the preparation. The phase transition temperature was 19.3 +/- 1.0 degrees C for the Mg-ATPase and 22.6 +/- 1.1 degrees C for the Ca-ATPase activities. 3. Three lines of evidence suggest that Mg-ATP and Ca-ATP were substrates for the same enzyme: Mg-dependent and Ca-dependent activities were not additive; the two activities showed the same pH optimum at 8.0; and the nonionic detergents Triton X-100, Triton X-305, Triton N-101, Lubrol P 12 A, and digitonin, produced a parallel solubilization of the two activities. 4. Enzyme activities were insensitive to potassium, sodium, ouabain, pancreozymin, carbamoyl-choline, secretin, concanavalin A, wheat germ agglutinin, and soybean lectin.

Calcium transport across the plasma membrane: stimulation by calmodulin.

Active transport of calcium into inside-out vesicles of red blood cell membranes was stimulated equally by (i) the purified protein activator of calcium-activated, magnesium-dependent adenosinetriphosphatase isolated from red cell hemolyzates and (ii) calmodulin, a protein activator of cylic nucleotide phosphodiesterase isolated from bovine brain. The results provide further evidence for the identity of red blood cell activator and calmodulin and show that this cytoplasmic protein may participate in the regulation of plasma membrane calcium transport.

Effect of calcitonin on Ca-ATPase activity of plasma membrane in liver of rats.

The effect of calcitonin (CT) on Ca-ATPase activity in the plasma membrane fraction of rat liver was investigated. CT (80 MRC mU/100 g BW) administered subcutaneously to rats, caused a significant decrease in serum calcium, while increasing liver calcium. The administration of CT produced a rapid decrease of Ca-ATPase activity in the plasma membrane fraction of liver, whereas CT did not cause a significant alteration of p-nitrophenyl phosphatase activity. The maximal response of CT was obtained with 80 MRC mU/100 g BW. Meanwhile, the administration of imidazole (30 mg/100 g BW) which has a hypocalcemic effect, like CT, produced a significant increase in liver calcium and a corresponding fall in Ca-ATPase activity of the plasma membrane fraction. The reduction of Ca-ATPase activity produced by imidazole was significantly potentiated by the simultaneous administration of CT, and the rise in liver calcium was enhanced slightly. The present results suggest that the action of CT on liver calcium involves the decrease of Ca-ATPase activity in the plasma membrane of rat liver.

[Effect of substances inhibiting the ion transport on Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase activity of synaptic plasma membranes].

The Mg2+, Ca2+-ATPase activity of plasma membranes in bull brain synaptosomas was studied as affected by ruthenium red, hexamine cobalt, aminazine, verapamyl, melipramin, lanthanum acetate and oligomycin. Lanthanum acetate in a concentration of 5.10(-5)M is shown to inhibit completely the enzyme activity. Ruthenium red and hexamine cobalt in a concentration of 10(-4) inhibit this ATPase activity by 50-60%. Melipramin, aminazine, verapamyl in concentrations of 10(-6)-10(-4)M and oligomycin in a concentration of 0.01-5 microgram/ml have no effect on the enzyme activity.

Human erythrocyte calmodulin. Further chemical characterization and the site of its interaction with the membrane.

Human erythrocyte and bovine brain calmodulins were indistinguishable by tryptic peptide mapping, indicating that the primary sequence of the two proteins is either very similar or identical. Calcium binding determinations of human erythrocyte calmodulin, by equilibrium dialysis and fluorescence titration, were in close agreement with previous studies on other calmodulins. The calcium-activated adenosine triphosphatase which is stimulated by calmodulin was shown to be firmly associated with smooth erythrocyte plasma membranes devoid of spectrin and actin. Kinetic titration demonstrated that there are 4500 calmodulin binding sites per erythrocyte and that the turnover number of this calcium-activated adenosine triphosphatase is 3000 mumol of Pi . (mumol of site)-1 . min-1 which is similar to the turnover numbers of other transport adenosine triphosphatases. Furthermore, calmodulin stimulates calcium-activated adenosine triphosphatase by a simple enzyme-ligand association.
