<h4>Background</h4>Kawasaki disease (KD), or mucocutaneous syndrome, is the leading cause of childhood-acquired heart disease in the developed world. There is much controversy on how best to treat children with KD and in particular who may benefit from additional treatment beyond the standard intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and aspirin, such as the addition of corticosteroids.<h4>Objectives</h4>To assess the impact of corticosteroid use on the incidence of coronary artery abnormalities in KD a ...[more]

Thrombospondin-2 predicts response to treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin in children with Kawasaki disease.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the predictive value of thrombospondin-2 (TSP-2) in assessing the response to intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in children with acute Kawasaki disease (KD).MethodsThis was a cohort study with controls. 71 children with KD were recruited as the case group, including IVIG non-responder (n=17) and IVIG responder (n=54), and healthy children (n=27) and febrile children (n=30) were used as control groups. ELISA was used to measure plasma TSP-2 and TSP-1 levels. The rank-sum test was used to compare groups of non-normally distributed data. Predictive value was evaluated through the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsCompared with the control groups, the plasma TSP-2 levels in acute KD were significantly elevated (TSP-2: 31.00 (24.02, 39.28) vs 21.93 (17.00, 24.73) vs 16.23 (14.00, 19.64) ng/mL, P<0.001). The plasma TSP-2 level in the IVIG non-responder was significantly higher than the responder group (37.58 (31.86, 43.98) vs 27.84 (21.88, 33.48) ng/mL, P=0.002). When using an ROC curve to analyse the predictive effect of TSP-2 on non-responsiveness to IVIG treatment, the area under the curve was 0.752 (0.630, 0.875) (P=0.002). When the cut-off value for TSP-2 was 31.50 ng/mL, the sensitivity was 82.35%, the specificity was 64.81%.ConclusionThe plasma TSP-2 level was elevated in acute KD and it might be a novel predictor for IVIG resistance, which could help guide clinicians to choose individualised initial therapeutic regimens.

Distinctive serum lipidomic profile of IVIG-resistant Kawasaki disease children before and after treatment.

Project description:Kawasaki Disease (KD) is an acute inflammatory disorder associated with systemic vasculitis. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is an effective therapy for KD, yet, about 20% of cases show IVIG resistance with persistent inflammation. The lipid profile in IVIG-resistant KD patients and the relationship between lipid characteristics and IVIG resistance remain unknown. In this study, serum samples from twenty KD patients with different IVIG responses (sensitive, intermediate, or resistant) were collected both before and after treatment, and lipidomic analysis was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. As a result, before treatment, six lipid species were found as the most variant features, in which all the top decreased lipids in the IVIG-resistant group were lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) and lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE), suggesting the potential to be IVIG-resistant markers in pretreatment diagnosis. During treatment, lipidomic changes showed a weaker response in the IVIG-resistant group. After treatment, LPC and LPE species exhibited lower in the IVIG-resistant group and negative correlation with the inflammatory markers, indicating that the unique metabolism may occur among IVIG-responsiveness. These results might contribute to diagnosing IVIG-resistant patients more accurately for alternative therapy and to a better understanding of how lipid metabolism is associated with IVIG sensitiveness/resistance in KD.

Endothelial cell response in Kawasaki disease and Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children

Project description:Abstract: Although Kawasaki disease (KD) and Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) share some clinical manifestations, their cardiovascular outcomes are different, and this may be reflected at the level of the endothelial cell (EC). We performed RNA-seq on cultured ECs incubated with pre-treatment sera from KD (n=5), MIS-C (n=7), and healthy controls (n=3). We conducted Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) using 935 transcripts differentially expressed between MIS-C and KD using soft filtering (un-adjusted p<0.05, >1.1 fold difference). We found seven gene modules annotated as increased TNFα/NFB pathway, decreased Endothelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EndoMT) and EC homeostasis, an-ti-inflammation and immune response, translation, and glucocorticoid responsive gene suppression in MIS-C. To further understand the difference in the EC response between KD and MIS-C, a hard filter was applied to identify 41 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between KD and MIS-C (adjusted p<0.05, >2 fold-difference). Again, the majority was NFB pathway genes including nine upregulated pro-survival genes. Expression levels were higher in the genes influencing autophagy (UBD, EBI3, and SQSTM1). Other DEGs also supported the finding by WGCNA. Compared to KD, ECs in MIS-C had increased pro-survival transcripts, but reduced transcripts related to EndoMT and EC homeostasis. These differences in EC response may in-fluence the different cardiovascular outcomes in these two diseases.

Abnormal myocardial work in children with Kawasaki disease.

Project description:Kawasaki disease (KD) can be associated with high morbidity and mortality due to coronary artery aneurysms formation and myocardial dysfunction. Aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of non-invasive myocardial work in predicting subtle myocardial abnormalities in Kawasaki disease (KD) children with coronary dilatation (CADL). A total of 100 patients (age 8.7 ± 5 years) were included: 45 children with KD and CADL (KD/CADL) (Z-score > 2.5), 45 age-matched controls (CTRL) and, finally, an additional group of 10 children with KD in absence of coronary dilatation (KD group). Left ventricular (LV) systolic function and global longitudinal strain (GLS) were assessed. Global myocardial work index (MWI) was calculated as the area of the LV pressure-strain loops. From MWI, global Constructive Work (MCW), Wasted Work (MWW) and Work Efficiency (MWE) were estimated. Despite normal LV systolic function by routine echocardiography, KD/CADL patients had lower MWI (1433.2 ± 375.8 mmHg% vs 1752.2 ± 265.7 mmHg%, p < 0.001), MCW (1885.5 ± 384.2 mmHg% vs 2175.9 ± 292.4 mmHg%, p = 0.001) and MWE (994.0 ± 4.8% vs 95.9 ± 2.0%, p = 0.030) compared to CTRL. Furthermore, MWI was significantly reduced in children belonging to the KD group in comparison with controls (KD: 1498.3 ± 361.7 mmHg%; KD vs CTRL p = 0.028) and was comparable between KD/CADL and KD groups (KD/CADL vs KD p = 0.896). Moreover, KD/CADL patients with normal GLS (n = 38) preserved significant differences in MWI and MCW in comparison with CTRL. MWI, MCW and MWE were significantly reduced in KD children despite normal LVEF and normal GLS. These abnormalities seems independent from CADL. Thus, in KD with normal LVEF and normal GLS, estimation of MWI may be a more sensitive indicator of myocardial dysfunction.
