This study identified an association between the rs3061890 variant in the promoter region of STIM1 and susceptibility to SCD-CAD in Chinese Han populations. The homozygote del/del genotype increased the risk for SCD-CAD, with the risk allele showing lower transcriptional capacity. Genotype-phenotype correlation studies revealed an association between STIM1 expression and the rs3061890 genotype.
Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), as a dynamic calcium signal transducer and key regulator of cardiomyocyte Ca2+ homeostasis, has been implicated in various pathological processes related to sudden cardiac death originated from coronary artery disease (SCD-CAD). In this study, we performed a systematic variant screening on promoter region of STIM1 to filter potential functional genetic variations. Based on the screening results, a 5-bp insertion/deletion (indel) polymorphism (rs3061890) in promoter region of STIM1 was selected as the candidate variant. We investigated the association of rs3061890 with SCD-CAD susceptibility in Chinese Han populations. The homozygote del/del genotype significantly increased risk for SCD-CAD as compared with the ins/ins genotype (odds ratio, 2.86 [95% confidence interval, 1.69-4.29]; P = 2.3 x 10-5). Compared with the common allele, the 5-bp deletion risk allele exhibited lower transcriptional capacity in luciferase assays. Intriguingly, genotype-phenotype correlation studies using human myocardium tissue samples revealed that the expression of STIM1 was associated with the genotype of rs3061890. Computational prediction combined with electrophoretic mobility shift (EMSA) and chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assays provided convincing evidence for stronger binding affinity of ELF1 (E74 like ETS transcription factor 1) with the deletion allele promoter. Taken together, our findings implied an allele-specific mechanism of regulating the transcription of STIM1 via ELF1, which contribute to SCD-CAD susceptibility. rs3061890 may thus considered as a candidate genetic marker for SCD-CAD prediction and prevention.
