Plasma Proteomic Study in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Associated with Congenital Heart Diseases.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (CHD-PAH) has serious consequence and plasma protein profiles in CHD-PAH are unknown. We aimed to reveal the differential plasma proteins in 272 CHD patients with or without PAH. Various types of CHD-PAH were studied. Differential plasma proteins were first detected by iTRAQ proteomic technology and those with significant clinical relevance were selected for further ELISA validation in new cohort of patients. Among the 190 differential plasma proteins detected by iTRAQ, carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase I (CPSI, related to urea cycle and endogenous nitric oxide production) and complement factor H-related protein 2 (CFHR2, related to complement system and coagulant mechanism) were selected for further ELISA validation in new cohort of 152 patients. Both CPSI and CFHR2 were down-regulated with decreased plasma levels (p?

Project description:Patients with unrepaired congenital heart disease (CHD) are prone to pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The ovine pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells exposed to increased pulmonary blood flow (PBF) exhibited hyperproliferation and metabolic alterations, but the metabolic disorders of patients with CHD and associated PAH (PAH-CHD) have not yet been fully understood. Adult CHD patients were prospectively included and divided into the PAH-CHD group (n = 24) and CHD group (n = 38), while healthy adults were included as healthy control (HC) group (n = 29). Plasma from each subject was prepared for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) detection. 1H-NMR spectra were acquired using 850 MHz NMR spectrometer. A total of 28 metabolites were identified from the NMR spectra and their relative concentrations were calculated and analyzed by multivariate and univariate statistical analyses and metabolic pathway analysis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and correlation analysis were performed to identify potential biomarkers and assess their roles in clinical assessment. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that the metabolic profile of PAH-CHD was altered relative to CHD or HC, while that of CHD was altered relative to HC. The identified characteristic metabolites were alanine, glucose, glycine, threonine and lactate, and the areas under the ROC curves (AUCs) were 0.769, 0.808, 0.711, 0.842 and 0.817, respectively. Multivariate ROC curve analysis showed AUCs ranging from 0.895 to 0.955 for the combination of these characteristic metabolites. The correlation analysis indicated that lactate and threonine were significantly correlated with mean pulmonary arterial pressure, pulmonary vascular resistance and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide. The increased PBF could trigger global metabolic alterations in patients with CHD, which were more severe in patients with PAH-CHD. The characteristic metabolites have the potential to be biomarkers of PAH-CHD, which could be used for its noninvasive diagnosis, severity and prognosis assessment, thereby improving the management of PAH-CHD.

Project description:Background: As the most common types of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in childhood, the similarities and differences in clinical characteristics and prognosis between idiopathic PAH (IPAH) and PAH associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD) are not well-known. This study describes and compares clinical features of pediatric IPAH and PAH-CHD in a single center of China during an 11-year period and explores the prognostic factors. Methods: Twenty-five children with IPAH and 60 children with PAH-CHD, diagnosed in West China Second Hospital of Sichuan University from January 2008 to December 2018, were chosen as study objects. The follow-up deadline was June 2019, and the end-point was all-cause death. The baseline data, results of auxiliary examinations, treatment strategies, and follow-up outcomes were recorded and compared between IPAH and PAH-CHD patients to explore the similarities, differences, and prognostic factors. Results: The median diagnostic age for PAH-CHD patients was 2.3 years, which was younger than IPAH patients (7.3 years; p = 0.009). Sixty-eight percent of the IPAH patients presented with exercise-induced symptoms at initial diagnosis, whereas 58.3% of the PAH-CHD patients were asymptomatic (p < 0.001). Sixty percent of the IPAH patients were in World Health Organization-functional class (WHO-FC) III or IV, which was significantly worse than those of the PAH-CHD patients (p = 0.002). The incidence of ST-segment and T-wave (ST-T) change in children with IPAH (76.0%) was significantly higher than that (28.3%) in children with PAH-CHD (p < 0.001). Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width were larger in IPAH patients than those in PAH-CHD patients (p < 0.01). The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates of IPAH and PAH-CHD patients were 53.5, 46.5, and 31.2% and 96.5, 93.1, and 77.6%, respectively (p < 0.05). WHO-FC III-IV [relative risk (RR) = 2.750, p = 0.008] and higher MPV (RR = 1.657, p = 0.006) predicted poor prognosis for pediatric PAH. Conclusion: We showed that there are more differences than similarities between IPAH and PAH-CHD patients in clinical characteristics. PAH-CHD patients have a better prognosis than IPAH patients. WHO-FC III-IV and higher MPV at initial diagnosis are independent risk factors for poor prognosis.

Project description:The quality of life and survival rates of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension associated with congenital heart disease (CHD-PAH) have been greatly improved by defect-repair surgery and personalized treatments. However, those who survive surgery may remain at risk of persistent PAH, the prognosis may be considerably worse than those unoperated. Dynamic monitoring of clinical measures during the perioperative period of shunt correction is therefore indispensable and of great value. In this study, we explored the plasma-metabolite profiling in 13 patients with CHD-PAH during the perioperative period of defect repair. Plasma was harvested at four time points: prior to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) after anesthesia (Pre), immediately after CPB (T0), 24 h (T24), and 48 h (T48) after defect repair. Untargeted metabolomics strategy based on UPLC Q-TOF MS was used to detect the metabolites. A total of 193 distinguishing metabolites were determined at different time points, enriched in pathways such as oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids. We found that 17 metabolite alterations were significantly correlated with the reduction in mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) at T48 versus Pre. Gradients in diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure (DPAP), bicarbonate in radial artery (aHCO3), bicarbonate in superior vena cava (svcHCO3), and the partial pressure of dissolved CO2 gas in radial artery (aPCO2) were positively correlated with MPAP gradient. Notably, these clinical-measure gradients were correlated with alterations in shunt-correction-associated metabolites. In total, 12 out of 17 identified metabolites in response to defect repair were increased at both T24 and T48 (all P < 0.05, except propionylcarnitine with P < 0.05 at T24). In contrast, galactinol dihydrate, guanosine monophosphate, and hydroxyphenylacetylglycine tended to decline at T24 and T48 (only galactinol dihydrate with P < 0.05 at T48). In conclusion, 17 metabolites that respond to shunt correction could be used as suitable noninvasive markers, and clinical measures, including DPAP, aHCO3, svcHCO3, and aPCO2, would be of great value in disease monitoring and evaluating future therapeutic interventions.
