Associations of proteomics with hypertension and systolic blood pressure: KORA S4/F4/FF4 and KORA-Age1/Age2 Cohort Studies.
Hypertension 81, 1156-1166 (2024)
BACKGROUND: Hypertension, a complex condition, is primarily defined based on blood pressure readings without involving its pathophysiological mechanisms. We aimed to identify biomarkers through a proteomic approach, thereby enhancing the future definition of hypertension with insights into its molecular mechanisms. METHODS: The discovery analysis included 1560 participants, aged 55 to 74 years at baseline, from the KORA (Cooperative Health Research in the Region of Augsburg) S4/F4/FF4 cohort study, with 3332 observations over a median of 13.4 years of follow-up. Generalized estimating equations were used to estimate the associations of 233 plasma proteins with hypertension and systolic blood pressure (SBP). For validation, proteins significantly associated with hypertension or SBP in discovery analysis were validated in the KORA-Age1/Age2 cohort study (1024 participants, 1810 observations). A 2-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted to infer causalities of validated proteins with SBP. RESULTS: Discovery analysis identified 49 proteins associated with hypertension and 99 associated with SBP. Validation in the KORA-Age1/Age2 study replicated 7 proteins associated with hypertension and 23 associated with SBP. Three proteins, NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), KIM1 (kidney injury molecule 1), and OPG (osteoprotegerin), consistently showed positive associations with both outcomes. Five proteins demonstrated potential causal associations with SBP in Mendelian randomization analysis, including NT-proBNP and OPG. CONCLUSIONS: We identified and validated 7 hypertension-associated and 23 SBP-associated proteins across 2 cohort studies. KIM1, NT-proBNP, and OPG demonstrated robust associations, and OPG was identified for the first time as associated with blood pressure. For NT-proBNP (protective) and OPG, causal associations with SBP were suggested.
