Abstract—A new polymorphism located at position −629 (CETP/−629A/C) in the promoter of the cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) gene is described. The −629A allele was associated with lower CETP mass (P<0.0001) and higher high density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.001) than the C allele in a sample of 536 control subjects from the ECTIM study. Transfection studies in HepG2 cells with a luciferase expression vector incorporating a 777-bp fragment of the CETP promoter and containing either A or C at position −629 showed significantly lower luciferase activity with the promoter fragment of the A allele (−25%, P<0.05). By gel-shift assay, DNA-protein interactions were evaluated in nuclear extracts of HepG2 cells with the use of 2 probes (A or C probe) composed of 20 bp of the promoter sequence surrounding the polymorphic site. Two specific complexes of distinct migration rate were identified with the A and the C probe. Competition with an excess of oligonucleotide containing the Sp1 consensus binding site...
