      【摘要】 目的 探讨高血压病(EH)合并心房颤动(AF)患者血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)基因插入/缺失(I/D)多
态性与转化生长因子β1 (TGFβ1)、结缔组织生长因子(CTGF)的关系。方法 选择75例EH合并AF患者分为阵发
性AF组(EH+pAF，44例)和慢性AF组(EH+cAF，31例)，记录一般临床资料及行超声心动图检查，用ELISA法测
定血清TGFβ1、CTGF，用PCR方法检测ACE基因插入/缺失(I/D)多态性，并与EH且为窦性心律(SR)组(EH+SR，
37例)及健康对照者(NC，36例)进行比较；比较EH+AF组不同基因型间TGFβ1与CTGF的血清浓度。结果 EH+
cAF组和EH+pAF组血清TGFβ1及CTGF水平均显著高于EH+SR组和NC组(P<0.01)；EH+AF组与EH+SR组、
NC组ACE I/D多态性缺失纯合型(DD型)、杂合子(DI型)、插入纯合型(II型)基因型频率比较差异均无统计学意义
(P>0.05)，但D等位基因分布频率在EH+AF组中较EH+SR组和NC组明显增加(P<0.05)；EH+AF组不同基因型之间
TGFβ1及CTGF浓度比较发现，DD基因型TGFβ1浓度显著高于DI型(P<0.01)和 II型(P<0.01)，DD基因型CTGF浓度
明显高于 II型(P<0.05)。结论 D等位基因可能是高血压病合并心房颤动的易患基因；房颤患者ACE DD基因型
TGFβ1和CTGF水平明显升高，藉此可引起心房肌纤维化及心房重构，导致房颤的发生和发展。

【Abstract】 Objective To explore the relationship between the polymorphisms of angiotensin converting en-
zyme (ACE) insertion/deletion (I/D) gene and transforming growth factor β1 (TGFβ1)/connective tissue growth factor
(CTGF) in patients with essential hypertension (EH) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Seventy-five EH patients
with documented AF were divided into the paroxysmal AF group (EH+pAF group, n=44) or the chronic AF group
(EH+cAF group, n=31), and 37 EH patients with sinus rhythm (SR) were selected into the EH+SR group. All clinical
data including blood pressure, lipids, glucose and atrial diameter measured from ultrasonic cardiogram were recorded.
Thirty-six healthy subjects from the medical examination center were assigned to normal controls (NC group). The se-
rum TGF β1, CTGF were measured by ELISA method, and the genotypes of ACE (I/D) gene were identified by poly-
merase chain reaction (PCR) and PCR restricted fragment length polymorphism assay. TGF β 1/CTGF concentration
and ACE I/D genotypes were compared within different groups. Results The serum TGF β1 and CTGF levels of EH+
pAF and EH+cAF groups were significantly higher than those of EH+SR and NC group (P<0.001, respectively). In
spite of no difference of ACE I/D genotypes between the four groups, allele D genotype frequency in EH+AF group
was significantly higher than that in EH+SR and NC groups (P<0.05). Among the patients in EH+AF group, the serum
TGF β 1 concentration was significantly higher in patients with DD genotype than in those with ID and Ⅱ genotypes
(P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively), and the serum CTGF level was also markedly higher in patients with DD genotype
than in those with ID and Ⅱ genotypes (P<0.05). Conclusion The allele D may be the risk factor for AF in EH pa-
tients. The serum TGF β1/CTGF levels were markedly elevated in AF patients with DD genotype of ACE, which may
cause atrial fibrosis and atrial remodeling, resulting in the occurrence and development of atrial fibrillation.
