Abstract
Worldwide, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) account for the vast majority of deaths and place enormous financial strains on healthcare systems. Gold nanoparticles, quantum dots, polymeric nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and lipids are innovative nanomaterials promising in tackling CVDs. In the setting of CVDs, these nanomaterials actively impact cellular responses due to their distinctive properties, including surface energy and topographies. Opportunities to more precisely target CVDs have arisen due to recent developments in nanomaterial science, which have introduced fresh approaches. An in-depth familiarity with the illness and its targeted mechanisms is necessary to use nanomaterials in CVDs effectively. We support the academic community's efforts to prioritize Nano-technological techniques in addressing risk factors linked with cardiovascular diseases, acknowledging the far-reaching effects of these conditions. The significant impact of nanotechnology on the early detection and treatment of cardiovascular diseases highlights the critical need for novel approaches to this pressing health problem, which is affecting people worldwide.

Differential Expression of Subsets of Genes Related to HDL Metabolism and Atherogenesis in the Peripheral Blood in Coronary Artery Disease. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2023; 45:6823-6841. [PMID: 37623250 PMCID: PMC10452992 DOI: 10.3390/cimb45080431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
Differential expression of genes (DEGs) in coronary artery disease (CAD) and the association between transcript level and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were studied with 76 male patients with CAD and 63 control patients. The transcript level of genes related to HDL metabolism (24 genes) and atherosclerosis-prone (41 genes) in RNA isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells was measured by real-time RT-PCR. Twenty-eight DEGs were identified. The expression of cholesterol transporters, ALB, APOA1, and LCAT was down-regulated, while the expression of AMN, APOE, LDLR, LPL, PLTP, PRKACA, and CETP was up-regulated. The systemic inflammation in CAD is evidenced by the up-regulation of IL1B, TLR8, CXCL5, and TNFRSF1A. For the controls, TLR8 and SOAT1 were negative predictors of the HDL-C level. For CAD patients, PRKACG, PRKCQ, and SREBF1 were positive predictors, while PRKACB, LCAT, and S100A8 were negative predictors. For CAD patients, the efficiency of reverse cholesterol transport is 73-79%, and intracellular free cholesterol seems to accumulate at hyperalphalipoproteinemia. Both atheroprotective (via S100A8) and proatherogenic (via SREBF1, LCAT, PRKACG, PRKACB, and PRKCQ) associations of gene expression with HDL-C determine HDL functionality in CAD patients. The selected key genes and involved pathways may represent HDL-specific targets for the diagnosis and treatment of CAD and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a cardiovascular disease characterized by atherosclerosis, angiogenesis, thrombogenesis, inflammation, etc. Xintong granule (XTG) is considered a practical therapeutic strategy in China for CAD. Although its therapeutic role in CAD has been reported, the molecular mechanisms of XTG in CAD have not yet been explored. A network pharmacology approach including drug-likeness (DL) evaluation, oral bioavailability (OB) prediction, protein-protein interaction (PPI) network construction and analysis, and Gene Ontology term and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses was used to predict the active ingredients, potential targets, and molecular mechanisms of XTG associated with the treatment of CAD. Molecular docking analysis was performed to investigate the interactions between the active compounds and the underlying targets. Fifty-one active ingredients of XTG and 294 CAD-related targets were screened for analysis. Gene Ontology enrichment analysis showed that the therapeutic targets of XTG in CAD are mainly involved in blood circulation and vascular regulation. KEGG pathway analysis indicated that XTG intervenes in CAD mainly through the regulation of fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, the AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, and the relaxin signaling pathway. Molecular docking analysis showed that each key active ingredient (quercetin, luteolin, kaempferol, stigmasterol, resveratrol, fisetin, gamma-sitosterol, and beta-sitosterol) of XTG can bind to the core targets of CAD (AKT1, JUN, RELA, MAPK8, NFKB1, EDN1, and NOS3). The present study revealed the CAD treatment-related active ingredients, underlying targets, and potential molecular mechanisms of XTG acting by regulating fluid shear stress and atherosclerosis, AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications, and relaxin signaling pathway.

Abstract
Despite the well-known sex dimorphism in cardiovascular disease traits, the exact genetic, molecular, and cellular underpinnings of these differences are not well understood. A growing body of evidence currently points at the links between cardiovascular disease traits and the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, and metabolome. However, the sex-specific differences in these links remain largely unstudied due to challenges in bioinformatic methods, inadequate statistical power, analytic costs, and paucity of valid experimental models. This review article provides an overview of the literature on sex differences in genetic architecture, heritability, epigenetic changes, transcriptomic signatures, and metabolomic profiles in relation to cardiovascular disease traits. We also review the literature on the associations between sex hormones and cardiovascular disease traits and discuss the potential mechanisms underlying these associations, focusing on human studies.

Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:652729. [PMID: 34262949 PMCID: PMC8273490 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.652729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2021] [Accepted: 05/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Propose: Cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily R member 1 (CYP2R1) variations can affect the activity of 25-hydroxylase, resulting in the deficiency of 25(OH)D, which leads to an increased incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease (CHD). The purpose is to assess the influence of CYP2R1 variants on CHD risk among the Chinese Han population. Methods: A total of 508 CHD patients and 510 healthy controls were enrolled. The MassARRAY platform completed genotyping of CYP2R1 variants. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using logistic regression analysis. Results: Rs6486205 (OR = 1.25, 95% CI: 1.05–1.50, p = 0.014), rs10741657 (OR = 1.29, 95% CI: 1.08–1.54, p = 0.005), and rs2060793 (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.06–1.51, p = 0.009) were associated with the increased susceptibility to CHD in the whole subjects. Interestingly, the relationships between these variants and CHD risk were observed in the subjects with age >60 years, males or non-smoker. Additionally, the haplotypes Ars10741657Ars2060793 and Grs10741657Grs2060793 had the higher risk of CHD, and the combination (rs6486205 and rs10741657) was the best multi-locus model. Conclusion: Our study suggested the contribution of CYP2R1 polymorphisms to the increased CHD predisposition in the Chinese Han population. Furthermore, the risk association was related to confounding factors for CHD, including age, sex, and smoking. These findings might help to strengthen the understanding of the CYP2R1 gene in the occurrence of CHD.

Abstract
(1) Background: Cardiac rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary program that includes psychoeducational support in addition to physical exercise. Psychoeducational intervention is a component that has had accelerated interest and development in recent decades. The aim was to analyze the current evidence on the effectiveness of psychoeducational interventions for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). (2) Methods: We conducted a systematic search of the literature via four databases: PubMed, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, and EMBASE. We included randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effectiveness of a psychoeducational intervention compared to usual care in ACS patients. We assessed the risk of bias using a modified version of the Cochrane tool. We analyzed data regarding the population, intervention, comparator, outcomes, and timing. (3) Results: We identified 6248 studies. After a rigorous screening, we included in the analysis 11 articles with a total of 3090 participants. Major adverse cardiovascular events, quality of life, hospitalizations, lipidogram, creatinine, NYHA class, smoking, physical behavior, and emotional state were significantly improved. In addition, illness perception, knowledge, and beliefs were substantially ameliorated (all p < 0.001). All this was related to the type and dose of psychological intervention. (4) Conclusions: Patients with ACS can receive significant benefits through individualized psychoeducation sessions. The cardiac rehabilitation program should include personalized psychological and educational intervention by type and dose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polygenic risk scores (PRS) for coronary heart disease (CHD) may contribute to assess the overall risk of CHD. We evaluated how PRS may influence CHD risk when the distribution of age-at-onset, sex, and family health history differ significantly. METHODS Our study included 3 family-based ascertainments: LLFS (Long Life Family Study, NIndividuals=4572), which represents a low CHD risk, and Family Heart Study, which consists of randomly selected families (FamHS-random, NIndividuals=1806), and high CHD risk families (FamHS-high risk, NIndividuals=2301). We examined the effects of PRS, sex, family ascertainment, PRS interaction with sex (PRS*sex) and with family ascertainment (PRS*LLFS and PRS*FamHS-high risk) on CHD, corrected for traditional cardiovascular risk factors using Cox proportional hazard regression models. RESULTS Healthy-aging LLFS presented ≈17 years delayed for CHD age-at-onset compared with FamHS-high risk (P<1.0×10-4). Sex-specific association (P<1.0×10-17) and PRS*sex (P=2.7×10-3) predicted prevalent CHD. CHD age-at-onset was associated with PRS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.57; P=1.3×10-5), LLFS (HR, 0.54; P=2.6×10-5), and FamHS-high risk (HR, 2.86; P=6.70x10-15) in men, and with PRS (HR, 1.76; P=7.70×10-3), FamHS-high risk (HR, 4.88; P=8.70×10-10), and PRS×FamHS-high risk (HR, 0.61; P=3.60×10-2) in women. In the PRS extreme quartile distributions, CHD age-at-onset was associated (P<0.05) with PRS, FamHS-high risk, and PRS interactions with both low and high CHD risk families for women. For men, the PRS quartile results remained similar to the whole distribution. CONCLUSIONS Differences in CHD family-based ascertainments show evidence of PRS interacting with sex to predict CHD risk. In women, CHD age-at-onset was associated with PRS, CHD family history, and interactions of PRS with family history. In men, PRS and CHD family history were the major effects on the CHD age-at-onset. Understanding the heterogeneity of risks associated with CHD end points at both the personal and familial levels may shed light on the underlying genetic effects influencing CHD and lead to more personalized risk prediction.

Abstract
Translation of cardioprotective interventions aimed at reducing myocardial injury during ischaemia-reperfusion from experimental studies to clinical practice is an important yet unmet need in cardiovascular medicine. One particular challenge facing translation is the existence of demographic and clinical factors that influence the pathophysiology of ischaemia-reperfusion injury of the heart and the effects of treatments aimed at preventing it. Among these factors, age and sex are prominent and have a recognised role in the susceptibility and outcome of ischaemic heart disease. Remarkably, some of the most powerful cardioprotective strategies proven to be effective in young animals become ineffective during ageing.

XX sex chromosome complement promotes atherosclerosis in mice. Nat Commun 2019; 10:2631. [PMID: 31201301 PMCID: PMC6643208 DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-10462-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Accepted: 05/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Men and women differ in circulating lipids and coronary artery disease (CAD). While sex hormones such as estrogens decrease CAD risk, hormone replacement therapy increases risk. Biological sex is determined by sex hormones and chromosomes, but effects of sex chromosomes on circulating lipids and atherosclerosis are unknown. Here, we use mouse models to separate effects of sex chromosomes and hormones on atherosclerosis, circulating lipids and intestinal fat metabolism. We assess atherosclerosis in multiple models and experimental paradigms that distinguish effects of sex chromosomes, and male or female gonads. Pro-atherogenic lipids and atherosclerosis are greater in XX than XY mice, indicating a primary effect of sex chromosomes. Small intestine expression of enzymes involved in lipid absorption and chylomicron assembly are greater in XX male and female mice with higher intestinal lipids. Together, our results show that an XX sex chromosome complement promotes the bioavailability of dietary fat to accelerate atherosclerosis. Men and women differ in their risk of developing coronary artery disease, in part due to differences in their levels of sex hormones. Here, AlSiraj et al. show that the XX sex genotype regulates lipid metabolism and promotes atherosclerosis independently of sex hormones in mice.

Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) on Bilirubin Concentrations in Subjects with Metabolic Syndrome: Sex-Specific GWAS Analysis and Gene-Diet Interactions in a Mediterranean Population. Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11010090. [PMID: 30621171 PMCID: PMC6356696 DOI: 10.3390/nu11010090] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2018] [Revised: 12/27/2018] [Accepted: 12/27/2018] [Indexed: 01/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Although, for decades, increased serum bilirubin concentrations were considered a threatening sign of underlying liver disease and had been associated with neonatal jaundice, data from recent years show that bilirubin is a powerful antioxidant and suggest that slightly increased serum bilirubin concentrations are protective against oxidative stress-related diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, a better understanding of the gene-diet interactions in determining serum bilirubin concentrations is needed. None of the previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on bilirubin concentrations has been stratified by sex. Therefore, considering the increasing interest in incorporating the gender perspective into nutritional genomics, our main aim was to carry out a GWAS on total serum bilirubin concentrations in a Mediterranean population with metabolic syndrome, stratified by sex. Our secondary aim was to explore, as a pilot study, the presence of gene-diet interactions at the GWAS level. We included 430 participants (188 men and 242 women, aged 55–75 years, and with metabolic syndrome) in the PREDIMED Plus-Valencia study. Global and sex-specific GWAS were undertaken to analyze associations and gene-diet interaction on total serum bilirubin. Adherence (low and high) to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) was analyzed as the dietary modulator. In the GWAS, we detected more than 55 SNPs associated with serum bilirubin at p < 5 × 10−8 (GWAS level). The top-ranked were four SNPs (rs4148325 (p = 9.25 × 10−24), rs4148324 (p = 9.48 × 10−24), rs6742078 (p = 1.29 × 10−23), rs887829 (p = 1.39 × 10−23), and the rs4148324 (p = 9.48 × 10−24)) in the UGT1A1 (UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A1) gene, which replicated previous findings revealing the UGT1A1 as the major locus. In the sex-specific GWAS, the top-ranked SNPs at the GWAS level were similar in men and women (the lead SNP was the rs4148324-UGT1A1 in both men (p = 4.77 × 10−11) and women (p = 2.15 × 10−14), which shows homogeneous genetic results for the major locus. There was more sex-specific heterogeneity for other minor genes associated at the suggestive level of GWAS significance (p < 1 × 10−5). We did not detect any gene-MedDiet interaction at p < 1 × 10−5 for the major genetic locus, but we detected some gene-MedDiet interactions with other genes at p < 1 × 10−5, and even at the GWAS level for the IL17B gene (p = 3.14 × 10−8). These interaction results, however, should be interpreted with caution due to our small sample size. In conclusion, our study provides new data, with a gender perspective, on genes associated with total serum bilirubin concentrations in men and women, and suggests possible additional modulations by adherence to MedDiet.
