Plasma Levels of Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1, n-Terminal Fragment of Brain Natriuretic Peptide and Calcidiol Are Independently Associated with the Complexity of Coronary Artery Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

We investigated the relationship of the Syntax Score (SS) and coronary artery calcification (CAC), with plasma levels of biomarkers related to cardiovascular damage and mineral metabolism, as there is sparse information in this field.

Methods

We studied 270 patients with coronary disease that had an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) six months before. Calcidiol, fibroblast growth factor-23, parathormone, phosphate and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 [MCP-1], high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, galectin-3, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP] levels, among other biomarkers, were determined. CAC was assessed by coronary angiogram as low-grade (0-1) and high-grade (2-3) calcification, measured with a semiquantitative scale ranging from 0 (none) to 3 (severe). For the SS study patients were divided in SS<14 and SS?14. Multivariate linear and logistic regression analyses were performed.

Results

MCP-1 predicted independently the SS (RC = 1.73 [95%CI = 0.08-3.39]; p = 0.040), along with NT-proBNP (RC = 0.17 [95%CI = 0.05-0.28]; p = 0.004), male sex (RC = 4.15 [95%CI = 1.47-6.83]; p = 0.003), age (RC = 0.13 [95%CI = 0.02-0.24]; p = 0.020), hypertension (RC = 3.64, [95%CI = 0.77-6.50]; p = 0.013), hyperlipidemia (RC = 2.78, [95%CI = 0.28-5.29]; p = 0.030), and statins (RC = 6.12 [95%CI = 1.28-10.96]; p = 0.013). Low calcidiol predicted high-grade calcification independently (OR = 0.57 [95% CI = 0.36-0.90]; p = 0.013) along with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (OR = 0.38 [95%CI = 0.19-0.78]; p = 0.006), diabetes (OR = 2.35 [95%CI = 1.11-4.98]; p = 0.028) and age (OR = 1.37 [95%CI = 1.18-1.59]; p<0.001). During follow-up (1.79 [0.94-2.86] years), 27 patients developed ACS, stroke, or transient ischemic attack. A combined score using SS and CAC predicted independently the development of the outcome.

Conclusions

MCP-1 and NT-proBNP are independent predictors of SS, while low calcidiol plasma levels are associated with CAC. More studies are needed to confirm these data.

Project description:AimsHypertension is the leading cause for the development of heart failure (HF). Here, we aimed to identify cardiomyocyte stretch-induced circulating biomarkers for predicting hypertension-associated HF.Methods and resultsCirculating levels of 149 proteins were measured by proximity extension assay at baseline examination in 4742 individuals from the Malmö Diet and Cancer study. Protein levels were compared with stretch-activated gene expression changes in cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVMs) in response to 1-48 h of mechanical stretch. We also studied the association between protein levels and hypertension and HF incidence using respectively binary logistic and Cox regressions. Levels of 35 proteins were differentially expressed after Bonferroni correction in incident HF vs. control (P < 3.4E-4). Growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1 receptor type 1, and urokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor had corresponding mRNA levels up-regulated by stretch in NRVMs at all time points (P < 0.05). These four proteins were individually associated with increased risk of HF after age and sex adjustment [hazard ratio (HR) per standard deviation: 1.19 ≤ HR ≤ 1.49, P ≤ 4.90E-3]. GDF-15 and IL-6 were associated with HF independently of each other (1.22 ≤ HR ≤ 1.33, P ≤ 0.001). In subjects with hypertension, these associations remained significant after further adjustment for N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) levels (1.23 ≤ HR ≤ 1.45, P ≤ 0.001). A higher fasting value of a GDF-15, IL-6 score aggregate was associated with increased risk of hypertensive HF after adjustment for all traditional risk factors for HF and NT-proBNP (HR = 1.31, P = 2.19E-4).ConclusionsCardiomyocyte mRNA levels of GDF-15 and IL-6 are consistently up-regulated by stretch, and their circulating protein levels predict HF in hypertensive subjects independently of NT-proBNP during long-term follow-up. Our results encourage further studies on lower blood pressure goals in hypertensive subjects with high GDF-15 and IL-6, and interventions targeted at stretch-induced cardiomyocyte expressed biomarkers.
