Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Clinical manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) often persist after acute disease resolution. Underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. The objective of this original article was to longitudinally measure plasma levels of markers of the innate immune response to investigate whether they associate with and predict post-COVID symptomatology. METHODS Adult patients with previous severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection during the first pandemic wave who underwent the 6-month multidisciplinary follow-up were included. Plasma levels of pentraxin 3 (PTX3), the complement components C3a and C5a, and chitinase-3 like-protein-1 (CHI3L1) were measured at hospital admission during acute disease (baseline) and at 1 and 6 months after hospital discharge. Associations with post-COVID-19 sequelae at 6 months were investigated using descriptive statistic and multiple regression models. RESULTS Ninety-four COVID-19 patients were included. Baseline PTX3, C5a, C3a, and CHI3L1 did not predict post-COVID-19 sequelae. The extent of the reduction of PTX3 over time (delta PTX3) was associated with lower depressive and anxiety symptoms at 6 months (both p < 0.05). When entering sex, age, need for intensive care unit or non-invasive ventilation during hospital stay, psychiatric history, and baseline PTX3 as nuisance covariates into a generalized linear model (GLM), the difference between baseline and 6-month PTX3 levels (delta PTX3) significantly predicted depression (χ2 = 4.66, p = 0.031) and anxiety (χ2 = 4.68, p = 0.031) at 6 months. No differences in PTX3 levels or PTX3 delta were found in patients with or without persistent or new-onset other COVID-19 symptoms or signs at 6 months. Plasma levels of C3a, C5a, and CHI3L1 did not correlate with PTX3 levels at either time point and failed to associate with residual or de novo respiratory or systemic clinical manifestations of the disease at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS A lower reduction of plasma PTX3 after acute COVID-19 associates with the presence of depression and anxiety, suggesting an involvement of inflammation in post-COVID-19 psychopathology and a potential role of PTX3 as a biomarker.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally, representing approximately 32% of all deaths worldwide. Molecular chaperones are involved in heart protection against stresses and age-mediated accumulation of toxic misfolded proteins by regulation of the protein synthesis/degradation balance and refolding of misfolded proteins, thus supporting the high metabolic demand of the heart cells. Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) is one of the main cardioprotective chaperones, represented by cytosolic HSP90a and HSP90b, mitochondrial TRAP1 and ER-localised Grp94 isoforms. Currently, the main way to study the functional role of HSPs is the application of HSP inhibitors, which could have a different way of action. In this review, we discussed the recently investigated role of HSP90 proteins in cardioprotection, atherosclerosis, CVDs development and the involvements of HSP90 clients in the activation of different molecular pathways and signalling mechanisms, related to heart ageing.

Neuropsychiatr Dis Treat 2022; 18:695-704. [PMID: 35391945 PMCID: PMC8979940 DOI: 10.2147/ndt.s351136] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 03/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is closely related to inflammatory-related disease markers. The present study aimed to investigate the association between the red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and post-stroke depression (PSD). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 414 patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) admitted to our hospital from June 2018 to July 2021 were consecutively enrolled and received 3 months' follow-up. According to the 17-item Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) assessment, they were divided into PSD group and non-PSD group. Diagnosis of PSD was made in accordance with DSM-IV. RDW was recorded within 24 hours of admission. RESULTS Among the included 414 patients, 95 (22.95%) patients were diagnosed as having PSD at 3 months after stroke. The results showed significantly higher level of RDW in patients with depression (13.69 (IQR13.24-13.88) vs. 13.56 (IQR 12.67-13.77), P<0.001) at admission than patients without depression. After adjustment for potential confounding factors, the odds ratio of PSD was 5.707 (95% CI, 2.717-11.989) for the highest tertile of RDW compared with the lowest tertile. Moreover, based on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, the optimal cutoff of RDW levels as an indicator for the prediction of PSD was projected as 13.01, which yielded a sensitivity of 83% and a specificity of 41.0%, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.643 (95% CI, 0.585-0.701; P = 0.012). CONCLUSION Higher RDW levels at admission were found to be correlated with PSD 3 months after stroke.

[PMID: 33210471 PMCID: PMC7821624 DOI: 10.1002/brb3.1956] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/22/2020] [Revised: 10/23/2020] [Accepted: 10/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) may reflect local inflammatory status in tissues and thus serve as a potential biomarker of inflammation. Here, we investigated the utility of serum PTX3 as an index for assessing the 90-day prognosis of acute minor stroke patients. MATERIALS & METHODS Acute minor stroke patients (N = 241) and matched healthy control subjects (N = 241) were prospectively recruited. Clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were assessed. Blood samples were collected within 48h after acute minor stroke onset and serum PTX3 levels were determined. RESULTS Significant increases in stroke patients versus controls were obtained for serum PTX3 (3.14 ± 1.23 vs. 2.44 ± 0.74 ng/ml; p < .001) and C-reactive protein (CRP - 1.53 ± 0.38 vs. 1.35 ± 0.35 μg/ml; p < .05). Among the four stroke subtypes, as defined by modified Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment classification, there were no statistically significant differences in serum PTX3 levels (p > .05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that serum PTX3 and LDL cholesterol could predict unfavorable outcomes at day 90 in Large Artery Atherosclerosis (LAA) patients. CONCLUSIONS Serum Pentraxin 3 may serve as an independent predictor for an unfavorable outcome in the LAA subtype of acute minor stroke and may possess a superior prognostic value as compared to CRP in this LAA subgroup.
