A precision medicine approach to sex-based differences in ideal cardiovascular health.

ABSTRACT: Cardiovascular disease risk factor profiles and health behaviors are known to differ between women and men. Sex-based differences in ideal cardiovascular health were examined in the My Research Legacy study, which collected cardiovascular health and lifestyle data via Life's Simple 7 survey and digital health devices. As the study overenrolled women (n = 1251) compared to men (n = 310), we hypothesized that heterogeneity among women would affect comparisons of ideal cardiovascular health. We identified 2 phenogroups of women in our study cohort by cluster analysis. The phenogroups differed significantly across all 7 cardiovascular health and behavior domains (all p < 0.01) with women in phenogroup 1 having a lower Life's Simple 7 Health Score than those in phenogroup 2 (5.9 ± 1.3 vs. 7.6 ± 1.3, p < 0.01). Compared to men, women in phenogroup 1 had a higher burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors, exercised less, and had lower ideal cardiovascular health scores (p < 0.01). In contrast, women in phenogroup 2 had fewer cardiovascular risk factors but similar exercise habits and higher ideal cardiovascular health scores than men (p < 0.01). These findings suggest that heterogeneity among study participants should be examined when evaluating sex-based differences in ideal cardiovascular health.

Project description:Nearly all diseases in humans, to a certain extent, exhibit sex differences, including differences in the onset, progression, prevention, therapy, and prognosis of diseases. Accumulating evidence shows that macroautophagy/autophagy, as a mechanism for development, differentiation, survival, and homeostasis, is involved in numerous aspects of sex differences in diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, and cardiovascular diseases. Advances in our knowledge regarding sex differences in autophagy-mediated diseases have enabled an understanding of their roles in human diseases, although the underlying molecular mechanisms of sex differences in autophagy remain largely unexplored. In this review, we discuss current advances in our insight into the biology of sex differences in autophagy and disease, information that will facilitate precision medicine.Abbreviations: AD: Azheimer disease; AMBRA1: autophagy and beclin 1 regulator 1; APP: amyloid beta precursor protein; AR: androgen receptor; AMPK: AMP-activated protein kinase; ATG: autophagy related; ATP6AP2: ATPase H+ transporting accessory protein 2; BCL2L1: BCL2 like 1; BECN1: beclin 1; CTSD: cathepsin D; CYP19A1: cytochrome P450 family 19 subfamily A member 1; DSD: disorders of sex development; eALDI: enhancer alternate long-distance initiator; ESR1: estrogen receptor 1; ESR2: estrogen receptor 2; FYCO1: FYVE and coiled-coil domain autophagy adaptor 1; GABARAP: GABA type A receptor-associated protein; GLA: galactosidase alpha; GTEx: genotype-tissue expression; HDAC6: histone deacetylase 6; I-R: ischemia-reperfusion; LAMP2: lysosomal associated membrane protein 2; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; m6A: N6-methyladenosine; MYBL2: MYB proto-oncogene like 2; PIK3C3: phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit type 3; PSEN1: presenilin 1; PSEN2: presenilin 2; RAB9A, RAB9A: member RAS oncogene family; RAB9B, RAB9B: member RAS oncogene family; RAB40AL: RAB40A like; SF1: splicing factor 1; SOX9: SRY-box transcription factor 9; SRY: sex determining region Y; TFEB: transcription factor EB; ULK1: unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1; UVRAG: UV radiation resistance associated; VDAC2: voltage dependent anion channel 2; WDR45: WD repeat domain 45; XPDS: X-linked parkinsonism and spasticity; YTHDF2: YTH N6-methyladenosine RNA binding protein 2.
