Abstract
This study investigates the association between the C14orf119 gene rs6736 polymorphism and ischemic stroke (IS) susceptibility, and explores the influence of the rs6736 polymorphism on the binding between miR-7–1 and the C14orf119 gene. mRNA expression levels were determined in 45 IS patients and 45 matched controls via real-time quantitative PCR. A total of 774 IS patients and 793 matched controls were recruited from a Han Chinese population for genotyping, performed with the Sequenom MassARRAY iPLEX platform. A dual-luciferase reporter assay was used for the analysis of miRNA–mRNA binding. The results showed that the mRNA expression of C14orf119 differed significantly between IS patients and controls (t = −2.235, P = 0.030). Significant associations were noted between the C14orf119 gene rs6736 polymorphism and IS susceptibility in Han Chinese individuals under the additive model [ORadj (95% CI) = 0.87 (0.76–1.00) Padj = 0.048] and dominant model [ORadj (95% CI) = 0.76 (0.61–0.94), Padj = 0.014], with adjustment for age and sex. Mutations in the rs6736 polymorphism disrupted the binding of miR-7–1 and the C14orf119 gene. The results of this study show that the rs6736 polymorphism in the 3′-untranslated region of the C14orf119 gene not only is associated with IS but also modifies the binding between miR-7–1 and the C14orf119 gene. The C14orf119 gene may participate in the relationship between IS and miR-7–1.
