Plasma cyclic glycine proline/IGF-1 ratio predicts clinical outcome and recovery in stroke patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Many stroke patients make a partial recovery in function during the first 3 months, partially through promoting insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) function. A prognostic biomarker that associates with IGF-1 function may predict clinical outcome and recovery of stroke. This study evaluated plasma concentrations of IGF-1, IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-3 and cyclic-glycine-proline (cGP) and their associations with clinical outcome in stroke patients.

Methods

Thirty-four patients were recruited within 3 days of stroke. Clinical assessments included the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) within 3 days (baseline), and at days 7 and 90; the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Fugl-Meyer Upper-Limb Assessment Scale (FM-UL) at days 7 and 90. Plasma samples were collected from the patients at the baseline, days 7 and 90. Fifty age-matched control participants with no history of stroke were also recruited and provided plasma samples. IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and cGP concentrations were analyzed using ELISA or HPLC-MS.

Results

Baseline concentrations of IGFBP-3, cGP, and cGP/IGF-1 ratio were lower in stroke patients than the control group. The neurological scores of stroke patients were improved and plasma cGP and cGP/IGF-1 ratio increased over time. Baseline cGP/IGF-1 ratio was correlated with the NIHSS scores at day 90 and the changes in NIHSS scores from the baseline to 90 days.

Interpretation

Low cGP concentrations and cGP/IGF-1 ratio in stroke patients suggest an impaired IGF-1 function. The cGP/IGF-1 ratio at admission maybe further developed as a prognostic biomarker for stroke recovery.

Project description:Background and Aims: Systemic inflammation is associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment and dementia, but the associations between them in stroke patients are less clear. We examined the impact of systemic inflammation represented as the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on the development of post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) and domain-specific cognitive outcomes 3-month after ischemic stroke. Methods: Using prospective stroke registry data, we consecutively enrolled 345 participants with ischemic stroke whose cognitive functions were evaluated 3-month after stroke. Their cognition was assessed with the Korean version of the Vascular Cognitive Impairment Harmonization Standards and the Korean-Mini Mental Status Examination. PSCI was defined as a z-score of < -2 standard deviations for age, sex, and education adjusted means in at least one cognitive domain. The participants were categorized into five groups according to the quintiles of NLR (lowest NLR, Q1). The cross-sectional association between NLR and PSCI was assessed using multiple logistic regression, adjusting for age, sex, education, vascular risk factors, and stroke type. Results: A total of 345 patients were enrolled. The mean age was 63.0 years and the median NIHSS score and NLR were 2 [1-4] and 2.26 [1.65-2.91], respectively. PSCI was identified in 71 (20.6%) patients. NLR was a significant predictor for PSCI both as a continuous variable (adjusted OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.00-1.31) and as a categorical variable (Q5, adjusted OR, 3.26; 95% CI, 1.17-9.08). Patients in the Q5 group (NLR ≥ 3.80) showed significantly worse performance in global cognition and in visuospatial and memory domains. Conclusions: NLR in the acute stage of ischemic stroke was independently associated with PSCI at 3 months after stroke, and high NLR was specifically associated with cognitive dysfunction in the memory and visuospatial domains. Thus, systemic inflammation may be a modifiable risk factor that may influence cognitive outcomes after stroke.
