Evaluation of Plasma Adenosine as a Marker of Cardiovascular Risk: Analytical and Biological Considerations.

ABSTRACT: Background Adenosine is a ubiquitous regulatory molecule known to modulate signaling in many cells and processes vital to vascular homeostasis. While studies of adenosine receptors have dominated research in the field, quantification of adenosine systemically and locally remains limited owing largely to technical restrictions. Given the potential clinical implications of adenosine biology, there is a need for adequately powered studies examining the role of plasma adenosine in vascular health. We sought to describe the analytical and biological factors that affect quantification of adenosine in humans in a large, real-world cohort of patients undergoing evaluation for coronary artery disease. Methods and Results Between November 2016 and April 2018, we assessed 1141 patients undergoing angiography for evaluation of coronary artery disease. High-performance liquid chromatography was used for quantification of plasma adenosine concentration, yielding an analytical coefficient of variance (CV_a) of 3.2%, intra-subject variance (CV_i) 35.8% and inter-subject variance (CV_g) 56.7%. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors, medications, and clinical presentation had no significant impact on adenosine levels. Conversely, increasing age (P=0.027) and the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (P=0.026) were associated with lower adenosine levels. Adjusted multivariable analysis supported only age being inversely associated with adenosine levels (P=0.039). Conclusions Plasma adenosine is not significantly impacted by traditional cardiovascular risk factors; however, advancing age and presence of obstructive coronary artery disease may be associated with lower adenosine levels. The degree of intra- and inter-subject variance of adenosine has important implications for biomarker use as a prognosticator of cardiovascular outcomes and as an end point in clinical studies.

Project description:BackgroundMicrodialysis is a technique that can be utilized to sample the interstitial fluid of the central nervous system (CNS), including in primary malignant brain tumors known as gliomas. Gliomas are mainly accessible at the time of surgery, but have rarely been analyzed via interstitial fluid collected via microdialysis. To that end, we obtained an investigational device exemption for high molecular weight catheters (HMW, 100 kDa) and a variable flow rate pump to perform microdialysis at flow rates amenable to an intra-operative setting. We herein report on the lessons and insights obtained during our intra-operative HMW microdialysis trial, both in regard to methodological and analytical considerations.MethodsIntra-operative HMW microdialysis was performed during 15 clinically indicated glioma resections in fourteen patients, across three radiographically diverse regions in each patient. Microdialysates were analyzed via targeted and untargeted metabolomics via ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry.ResultsUse of albumin and lactate-containing perfusates impacted subsets of metabolites evaluated via global metabolomics. Additionally, focal delivery of lactate via a lactate-containing perfusate, induced local metabolic changes, suggesting the potential for intra-operative pharmacodynamic studies via reverse microdialysis of candidate drugs. Multiple peri-operatively administered drugs, including levetiracetam, cefazolin, caffeine, mannitol and acetaminophen, could be detected from one microdialysate aliquot representing 10 min worth of intra-operative sampling. Moreover, clinical, radiographic, and methodological considerations for performing intra-operative microdialysis are discussed.ConclusionsIntra-operative HMW microdialysis can feasibly be utilized to sample the live human CNS microenvironment, including both metabolites and drugs, within one surgery. Certain variables, such as perfusate type, must be considered during and after analysis. Trial registration NCT04047264.
