Aging aggravates aortic aneurysm and dissection via miR-1204-MYLK signaling axis in mice. Nat Commun 2024; 15:5985.

Abstract
The mechanism by which aging induces aortic aneurysm and dissection (AAD) remains unclear. A total of 430 participants were recruited for the screening of differentially expressed plasma microRNAs (miRNAs). We found that miR-1204 is significantly increased in both the plasma and aorta of elder patients with AAD and is positively correlated with age. Cell senescence induces the expression of miR-1204 through p53 interaction with plasmacytoma variant translocation 1, and miR-1204 induces vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) senescence to form a positive feedback loop. Furthermore, miR-1204 aggravates angiotensin II-induced AAD formation, and inhibition of miR-1204 attenuates β-aminopropionitrile monofumarate-induced AAD development in mice. Mechanistically, miR-1204 directly targets myosin light chain kinase (MYLK), leading to the acquisition of a senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) by VSMCs and loss of their contractile phenotype. MYLK overexpression reverses miR-1204-induced VSMC senescence, SASP and contractile phenotypic changes, and the decrease of transforming growth factor-β signaling pathway. Our findings suggest that aging aggravates AAD via the miR-1204-MYLK signaling axis.

Abstract
AIM Pulmonary Thromboembolism (PTE) occurs as a result of occlusion of one or more of the pulmonary artery branches by thrombus and is an important cause of right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. Selenoprotein P (SePP) and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 protein (sST2) are two new biomarkers that have previously been the subject of various studies in heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic and prognostic potential of SePP and soluble sST2 levels in patients with acute PTE. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 135 patients diagnosed with acute non-massive PTE and 43 healthy volunteers. Clinical, laboratory, and radiological patient data were recorded. SePP and sST2 levels were measured in the patient and control groups. Patients were followed at 1, 3, and 6 months of treatment via the death notification system and telemedicine. RESULTS SePP and sST2 levels were significantly lower in the patient group compared with the control group (SePP: 17.65 ng/ml vs. 43.06 ng/ml and sST2: 10.86 ng/ml vs. 16.20 ng/ml, both p < 0.001). No correlation was found at 1, 3, and 6 months of follow-up with prognosis and mortality. CONCLUSION SePP and sST2 values were significantly lower in patients with acute PTE compared with the control group. Low levels of these biomarkers may be diagnostically valuable.

Abstract
Importance Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common human organ malformation, affecting approximately 1 of 125 newborns globally. Objectives Assessing the performance of 2 diagnostic tests using minimal amounts of dried blood spots (DBS) to identify high-risk CHD compared with controls in a Swedish cohort of neonates. Design, Setting, and Participants This diagnostic study took place in Sweden between 2019 and 2023 and enrolled full-term babies born between 2005 and 2023. All cases were identified through centralized pediatric cardiothoracic surgical services in Lund and Gothenburg, Sweden. Controls were followed up for 1 year to ensure no late presentations of high-risk CHD occurred. Cases were verified through surgical records and echocardiography. Exposure High-risk CHD, defined as cases requiring cardiac surgical management during infancy due to evolving signs of heart failure or types in which the postnatal circulation depends on patency of the arterial duct. Using 3-μL DBS samples, automated quantitative tests for NT-proBNP and interleukin 1 receptor-like 1 (IL-1 RL1; formerly known as soluble ST2) were compared against established CHD screening methods. Main Outcomes and Measures Performance of DBS tests to detect high-risk CHD using receiver operating characteristic curves; Bland-Altman and Pearson correlation analyses to compare IL-1 RL1 DBS with plasma blood levels. Results A total of 313 newborns were included (mean [SD] gestational age, 39.4 [1.3] weeks; 181 [57.8%] male). Mean (SD) birthweight was 3495 (483) grams. Analyzed DBS samples included 217 CHD cases and 96 controls. Among the CHD cases, 188 participants (89.3%) were high-risk types, of which 73 (38.8%) were suspected prenatally. Of the 188 high-risk cases, 94 (50.0%) passed pulse oximetry screening and 36 (19.1%) were initially discharged after birth without diagnoses. Combining NT-proBNP and IL-1 RL1 tests performed well in comparison with existing screening methods and enabled additional identification of asymptomatic babies with receiver operating characteristic area under the curve 0.95 (95% CI, 0.93-0.98). Conclusions and relevance In this diagnostic study, NT-proBNP and IL-1 RL1 DBS assays identified high-risk CHD in a timely manner, including in asymptomatic newborns, and improved overall screening performance in this cohort from Sweden. Prospective evaluation of this novel approach is warranted.

Abstract
Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), the soluble counterpart of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor, is found in the circulation at various levels. suPAR and its parent molecule, cell surface uPAR, exhibit similar structure and extracellular functional roles facilitating fibrinolysis, cellular adhesion, and migration. Studies have assessed the correlation between suPAR in cardiovascular disease (CVD). It is postulated that suPAR may serve as an indicator of inflammatory activation and burden during CVD progression. Increased suPAR independently predicts poorer outcomes in acute coronary syndromes, in heart failure, as well as in coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis. To guide translation into clinical utization, suPAR has been assessed in numerous CVD settings for improved risk discrimination independently or in association with established traditional risk factors. Whilst the involvement of suPAR has been explored in other diseases such as kidney diseases and cancer, there is only emerging evidence of suPAR's mechanistic involvement in cardiovascular disease. In this review, we provide a background into suPAR and its potential role as a biomarker in CVD.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently correlates with cardiovascular complications. Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2) and Galectin-3 (Gal-3) are emerging as cardiac markers with potential relevance in cardiovascular risk prediction. The cardiothoracic ratio (CTR), a metric easily obtainable from chest radiographs, has traditionally been used to assess cardiac size and the potential for cardiomegaly. Understanding the correlation between these cardiac markers and the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) could provide valuable insights into the cardiovascular prognosis of CKD patients. This study aimed to explore the relationship between sST2, Gal-3, and the CTR in individuals with CKD. Plasma concentrations of sST2 and Gal-3 were assessed in a cohort of 123 CKD patients by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). On a posterior-to-anterior chest X-ray view, the CTR was determined by comparing the widths of the heart to that of the thorax. The mean concentration of sST2 in the study participants ranged from 775.4 to 4475.6 pg/mL, and the mean concentration of Gal-3 ranged from 4.7 to 9796.0 ng/mL. Significant positive correlations were observed between sST2 and the CTR (r = 0.291, p < 0.001) and between Gal-3 and the CTR (r = 0.230, p < 0.01). Our findings indicate that elevated levels of sST2 and Gal-3 are associated with an increased CTR in CKD patients. This relationship may enable better cardiovascular risk evaluation for CKD patients. Further studies are warranted to explore the clinical implications of these associations.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between levels of sST2, NT-proBNP and oxidative stress markers in patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) due to non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. A total of 88 patients with HFrEF were divided into four groups based on left ventricular ejection fraction (≤25% and >25%) and NYHA functional class (group 1-LVEF > 25% and NYHA class I or II; group 2-LVEF > 25% and NYHA class III or IV; group III-LVEF ≤ 25% and NYHA class I or II; group IV-LVEF ≤ 25% and NYHA class III or IV). In 39 (44.32%) patients LVEF was reduced below 25%, and 22 of them (56.41%) were in NYHA functional class III/IV. Of the 49 (55.68%) patients with LVEF ≥ 25%, only 18.37% were in NYHA functional class III/IV (p < 0.001). Patients with LVEF ≥ 25% had lower levels of NT-proBNP, total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and oxidative stress index (OSI). The levels of NT-proBNP but not sST-2 correlated positively with NYHA functional class (p < 0.001) and negatively with LVEF (p < 0.001). The levels of sST-2 were associated with increased TAC (p = 0.009) and uric acid (p = 0.040). These findings indicate that only NT-proBNP was related to the severity of heart failure, whereas sST2 correlated with total antioxidant capacity. Therefore, in stable patients with HFrEF due to dilated cardiomyopathy, sST2 may be an additional biomarker reflecting the redox status, but not the severity of heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Poststroke cognitive impairment is a severe and common clinical complication that constitutes a substantial global health burden. We aimed to evaluate the association of 3 cardiac biomarkers in combination with poststroke cognitive impairment and their prognostic significance. METHODS AND RESULTS This prospective study included 566 patients with ischemic stroke. Cardiac biomarkers, including sST2 (soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 receptor), GDF-15 (growth differentiation factor-15), and NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), were measured. Cognitive impairment was defined as a Mini-Mental State Examination score of <27 or a Montreal Cognitive Assessment score of <25 at 3 months after ischemic stroke. Odds of cognitive impairment 3 months after ischemic stroke increased with the number of elevated cardiac biomarkers (sST2, GDF-15, and NT-proBNP; Ptrend<0.001). The multivariable adjusted odds ratios (95% CIs) of cognitive impairment defined by the Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment were 2.45 (1.48-4.07) and 1.86 (1.10-3.14) for the participants with ≥2 elevated cardiac biomarkers, respectively, compared with those without any elevated cardiac biomarker. Additionally, higher cardiac biomarker scores were associated with an increased risk of cognitive impairment (Ptrend<0.05). Simultaneously adding all 3 cardiac biomarkers to the basic model with traditional risk factors significantly improved the risk prediction of Mini-Mental State Examination-defined cognitive impairment (net reclassification improvement=34.99%, P<0.001; integrated discrimination index=2.67%, P<0.001). Similar findings were observed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment scores. CONCLUSIONS An increased number of elevated novel cardiac biomarkers were associated with an increased odds of poststroke cognitive impairment, suggesting that a combination of these cardiac biomarkers may improve the risk prediction of cognitive impairment.

[PMID: 38422305 PMCID: PMC11081135 DOI: 10.36660/abc.20230040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/20/2023] [Revised: 10/30/2023] [Accepted: 11/14/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) levels with prognosis in pulmonary embolism (PE) is unknown. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sST2 levels in patients with acute PE and 6-month mortality and recurrent hospitalizations. METHODS This prospective study included 100 patients with acute PE. Patients were classified into two groups according to 6-month mortality and the presence of recurrent Cardiovascular-Related hospitalizations. Two groups were compared. A p-value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Soluble ST2 levels were significantly higher in the group with mortality and recurrent hospitalizations. (138.6 ng/mL (56.7-236.8) vs. 38 ng/mL (26.3-75.4); p<0.001) The best cut-off threshold for sST2 levels in the prediction of a composite outcome of 6-month mortality and/or recurrent Cardiovascular-Related hospitalization was found to be >89.9 with a specificity of 90.6% and a sensitivity of 65.2%, according to the receiver operating characteristic curve (area under the curve = 0.798; 95% CI, 0.705-0.891; p <0.0001). After adjusting for confounding factors that were either statistically significant in the univariate analysis or for the variables correlated with the sST2 levels, sST2 level (OR = 1.019, 95% CI: 1.009-1.028, p 0.001) and C-reactive protein (CRP ) (OR = 1.010, 95% CI: 1.001-1.021, p = 0.046) continued to be significant predictors of 6-month mortality and/or recurrent Cardiovascular-Related hospitalization in the multiple logistic regression model via backward stepwise method. CONCLUSION Soluble ST2 level seems to be a biomarker to predict 6-month mortality and/or recurrent Cardiovascular-Related hospitalization in patients with acute PE.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) represents a significant global health challenge, characterized by a variety of symptoms resulting from cardiac dysfunction. This dysfunction often leads to systemic and pulmonary congestion. The pathophysiology of HF is complex, involving stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is insufficiently balanced by the release of natriuretic peptide. This imbalance leads to progressive hypertrophy and dilatation of the heart's chambers, impairing its pumping efficiency and increasing the risk of arrhythmias and conduction disorders. The prevalence of HF is exceptionally high in industrialized nations and is expected to increase owing to an aging population and advancements in diagnostic methods. This study emphasizes the critical role of early diagnosis in reducing morbidity and mortality associated with HF, focusing specifically on the evolving importance of biomarkers in managing this condition. Biomarkers have played a key role in transforming the diagnosis and treatment of HF. Traditional biomarkers such as b-type natriuretic peptide and N-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide have been widely adopted for their cost-effectiveness and ease of access. However, the rise of novel biomarkers such as growth differentiation factor 15 and adrenomedullin has shown promising results, offering superior sensitivity and specificity. These new biomarkers enhance diagnostic accuracy, risk stratification, and prognostic evaluation in HF patients. Despite these advancements, challenges remain, such as limited availability, high costs, and the need for further validation in diverse patient populations. Through a comprehensive literature review across databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library, this study compiles and analyzes data from 18 relevant studies, offering a detailed understanding of the current state of HF biomarkers. The study examines both traditional and emerging biomarkers such as galectin-3 and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 in HF, exploring their clinical roles and impact on patient outcomes.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a life-threatening syndrome. Timely and accurate bedside monitoring of the occurrence and progression of HF via measurements of multiple HF-related biomarkers remains a challenge. Here, we report a triple cascade quantum-strip (TCQS) sensing strategy for the rapid and selective multiplex-tracing of three clinically validated HF biomarkers (BNP/NT-proBNP/ST2) in serum. High selectivity to the three biomarkers is achieved by controlling the individual recognition ability of three target-specific quantum immunoprobes and tuning their simultaneous use to BNP/NT-proBNP/ST2 recognition without mutual interference, which allows the three biomarkers to be directly enriched from serum samples. Benefiting from the fast release-binding kinetics of target-bound immunoprobes on TCQS, recognizable fluorescent signals can be rapidly read out through combining with a self-designed smartphone-based portable reader. This rapid and simple profiling strategy results in good specificity and sensitivity with LODs of 0.097, 0.072, and 0.948 ng/mL for BNP, NT-proBNP, and ST2, respectively, which match the need of clinical applications. Real serum samples are tested with an accuracy of 92.86% for HF diagnosis, validating the capability of the smartphone-read TCQS for practical applications. In particular, the simultaneous detection of the TCQS sensing strategy for BNP/NT-proBNP/ST2 will facilitate the accurate monitoring of HF occurrence, risk stratification, progression, and prognosis as a powerful POCT tool.

Acute heart failure in elderly patients admitted to the emergency department with acute dyspnea: a multimarker approach diagnostic study. Eur J Emerg Med 2023; 30:347-355. [PMID: 37598373 PMCID: PMC10467808 DOI: 10.1097/mej.0000000000001053] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 05/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE Diagnosing acute heart failure (AHF) is difficult in elderly patients presenting with acute dyspnea to the emergency department. OBJECTIVES To assess the diagnostic accuracy of NT-proBNP, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin-I (Hs-cTnI), soluble ST2 (ST2), galectin-3 and CD146 alone and in combination for diagnosing AHF in elderly patients presenting with acute dyspnea to the emergency department. DESIGN, SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS This was a prospective, multicenter study performed between September 2016 and January 2020, including elderly patients presenting with acute dyspnea to the emergency department of 6 French hospitals. INTERVENTION Measurement of NT-proBNP, hs-cTnI, ST2, galectin-3 and CD146. OUTCOME MEASURE AND ANALYSIS The reference standard, AHF, was adjudicated by two independent physicians based on ED and hospitalization clinical, biological (excluding biomarkers), radiological and echocardiography data (performed by a cardiologist in the cardiology department specifically for this study). Three exploratory methods (two using a cross-sectional approach with logistic regression and counting all biomarker combinations, and one using a sequential approach with gray zone optimizations) were applied to create comprehensive combinations of the 5 biomarkers for measuring diagnostic accuracy. MAIN RESULTS Two hundred thirty-eight patients (median age of 85 years, IQR = 8) were analyzed, and 110 (46%) were diagnosed with AHF. The accuracies of NT-proBNP, CD146, hs-cTnI, galectin-3, and ST2 were 0.72 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.66-0.77], 0.63 (95% CI 0.57-0.69), 0.59 (95% CI 0.53-0.65), 0.55 (95% CI 0.49-0.61) and 0.51 (95% CI 0.45-0.57), respectively. Regardless of the approach used or how the 5 biomarkers were combined, the best accuracy for diagnosing AHF (0.73, 95% CI 0.67-0.78) did not differ from that of NT-proBNP alone. CONCLUSION In this study, NT-proBNP alone exhibited the best diagnostic accuracy for diagnosing AHF in elderly patients presenting with acute dyspnea to the emergency departments. None of the other biomarkers alone or combined improved the accuracy compared to NT-proBNP, which is the only biomarker to use in this setting.

Prognostic value of soluble ST2 in AL and TTR cardiac amyloidosis: a multicenter study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2023; 10:1179968. [PMID: 37600055 PMCID: PMC10433216 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2023.1179968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Both light-chain (AL) amyloidosis and transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis are types of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) that require accurate prognostic stratification to plan therapeutic strategies and follow-ups. Cardiac biomarkers, e.g., N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (Hs-cTnT), remain the cornerstone of the prognostic assessment. An increased level of soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) is predictive of adverse events [all-cause death and heart failure (HF) hospitalizations] in patients with HF. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of circulating sST2 levels in AL-CA and ATTR-CA. Methods We carried out a multicenter study including 133 patients with AL-CA and 152 patients with ATTR-CA. During an elective outpatient visit for the diagnosis of CA, Mayo Clinic staging [NT-proBNP, Hs-cTnT, differential of free light chains (DFLCs)] and sST2 were assessed for all AL patients. Gillmore staging [including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), NT-proBNP] and Grogan staging (including NT-proBNP and Hs-cTnT) were assessed for TTR-CA patients. Results The median age was 73 years [interquartile range (IQR) 61-81], and 53% were men. The endpoint was the composite of all-cause death or first HF-related hospitalization. The median follow-up was 20 months (IQR 3-34) in AL amyloidosis and 33 months (6-45) in TTR amyloidosis. The primary outcome occurred in 70 (53%) and 99 (65%) of AL and TTR patients, respectively. sST2 levels were higher in patients with AL-CA than in patients with ATTR-CA: 39 ng/L (26-80) vs. 32 ng/L (21-46), p < 0.001. In AL-CA, sST2 levels predicted the outcome regardless of the Mayo Clinic score (HR: 2.16, 95% CI: 1.17-3.99, p < 0.001). In TTR-CA, sST2 was not predictive of the outcome in multivariate models, including Gillmore staging and Grogan staging (HR: 1.17, CI: 95% 0.77-1.89, p = 0.55). Conclusion sST2 level is a relevant predictor of death and HF hospitalization in AL cardiac amyloidosis and adds prognostic stratification on top of NT-proBNP, Hs cTnT, and DFLC.

Relationship Between Soluble ST2 Level and Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH) in Acute Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Patients. Cureus 2023; 15:e42449. [PMID: 37637518 PMCID: PMC10449396 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.42449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a disease characterized by right heart failure following recurrent pulmonary embolism (PE). It is important to know the predictors of the development of CTEPH after PE as it is a treatable cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Soluble ST2 is a biomarker closely associated with heart failure and the inflammatory process. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sST2 level and the development of CTEPH in patients with PE. METHODOLOGY Baseline characteristics, electrocardiographic findings, laboratory findings, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) findings, location, and extent of involvement in CT pulmonary angiography were recorded in 100 patients with acute PE included in our prospective study. Treatment modalities and treatment durations were followed. Ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy was performed in patients with a systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) of 35 mmHg or more on TTE and residual thrombus on CT pulmonary angiography after at least three months of anticoagulant use. In the case of findings compatible with CTEPH in these examinations, patients were diagnosed with CTEPH by right heart catheterization. The sST2 levels obtained from all patients at admission were evaluated between the groups of patients with and without CTEPH. RESULTS CTEPH was observed in 11 of the 100 patients who participated in the trial, with a median follow-up of 284 ± 60 days. The mean age of the 11 patients with CTEPH was 67 ± 10 years; five were males and six were females. The mean age of 89 patients without CTEPH was 65 ± 18 years, 36 were males and 53 were females. The sST2 values of the group with CTEPH were found to be statistically significantly higher than those of patients without CTEPH [193.7 (184.3-244.7) vs 58.6 (29.5-122.9) p=0.020]. This receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve shows that the optimal cutoff point of sST2 levels in the prediction of CTEPH was > 157.4 with specificity of 83.7% and sensitivity of 81.8% (area under the curve = 0.783; 95% CI, 1.005-1.027; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION In acute PE patients, sST2 levels may be a useful biomarker to predict the development of CTEPH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to assess the value of blood and urine biomarkers in addition to routine clinical variables in risk stratification of patients admitted to ICU. METHODS Multivariable prognostic models were developed in this post hoc analysis of the French and EuRopean Outcome ReGistry in Intensive Care Units study, a prospective observational study of patients admitted to ICUs. The study included 2087 patients consecutively admitted to the ICU who required invasive mechanical ventilation or a vasoactive agent for more than 24 h. The main outcome measures were in-ICU, in-hospital, and 1 year mortality. RESULTS Models including only SAPS II or APACHE II scores had c-indexes for in-hospital and 1 year mortality of 0.64 and 0.65, and 0.63 and 0.61, respectively. The c-indexes for a model including age and estimated glomerular filtration rate were higher at 0.69 and 0.67, respectively. Models utilizing available clinical variables increased the c-index for in-hospital and 1 year mortality to 0.80 and 0.76, respectively. The addition of biomarkers and urine proteomic markers increased c-indexes to 0.83 and 0.78. CONCLUSIONS The commonly used scores for risk stratification in ICU patients did not perform well in this study. Models including clinical variables and biomarkers had significantly higher predictive values.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Soluble ST2 (sST2) is a current biomarker of cardiovascular disease. It is used to predict susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases and to analyze their prognosis. Serum sST2 level increases in inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis. However, the level of sST2 in peri-implant diseases and crevicular fluid has not been investigated yet. Thus, the aim of this cross-sectional study is to analyze the level of sST2 in peri-implant health and diseases. METHODS Sixty-nine participants were divided into 3 groups as peri-implant health (PH), peri-implant mucositis (PM), and peri-implantitis (P-I). Peri-implant crevicular fluid (PICF) and serum samples were collected from each participant. The levels of sST2 and IL-6 in PICF and sST2, IL-6, and CRP in serum were compared between the groups. Pocket depth (PD), modified bleeding index (mBI), modified plaque index (mPI), keratinized mucosa index (KTW), and gingival/mucosal recession (REC) were recorded as clinical parameters. Biomarkers in the serum and PICF were analyzed by ELISA kit. RESULTS Sixty-nine patients were included in the study. The differences in the following parameters were statistically significant between groups: age (p = .009), implant function time (p = .027), PD (p < .001), mBI (p < .001), mPI (p < .001), and KTW (p = .043). The PICF volume of P-I and PM groups were statistically higher than PH (p < .001). The amount of sST2 in P-I and PM groups were higher than PH (p = .043). Serum CRP was higher in the P-I group than in other groups (p = .034). There were no significant differences in serum sST2 (p = .247) and IL-6 (p = .110) levels between groups. CONCLUSION The PICF levels of sST2 were significantly higher in PM and P-I groups compared to the healthy group. However, no significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of serum sST2 level.

Heart Failure and Cardiorenal Syndrome: A Narrative Review on Pathophysiology, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Regimens-From a Cardiologist's View. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11237041. [PMID: 36498617 PMCID: PMC9741317 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11237041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Revised: 11/22/2022] [Accepted: 11/25/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
In cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), heart failure and renal failure are pathophysiologically closely intertwined by the reciprocal relationship between cardiac and renal injury. Type 1 CRS is most common and associated with acute heart failure. A preexistent chronic kidney disease (CKD) is common and contributes to acute kidney injury (AKI) in CRS type 1 patients (acute cardiorenal syndrome). The remaining CRS types are found in patients with chronic heart failure (type 2), acute and chronic kidney diseases (types 3 and 4), and systemic diseases that affect both the heart and the kidney (type 5). Establishing the diagnosis of CRS requires various tools based on the type of CRS, including non-invasive imaging modalities such as TTE, CT, and MRI, adjuvant volume measurement techniques, invasive hemodynamic monitoring, and biomarkers. Albuminuria and Cystatin C (CysC) are biomarkers of glomerular filtration and integrity in CRS and have a prognostic impact. Comprehensive "all-in-one" magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) approaches, including cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) combined with functional MRI of the kidneys and with brain MRI are proposed for CRS. Hospitalizations due to CRS and mortality are high. Timely diagnosis and initiation of effective adequate therapy, as well as multidisciplinary care, are pertinent for the improvement of quality of life and survival. In addition to the standard pharmacological heart failure medication, including SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), renal aspects must be strongly considered in the context of CRS, including control of the volume overload (diuretics) with special caution on diuretic resistance. Devices involved in the improvement of myocardial function (e.g., cardiac resynchronization treatment in left bundle branch block, mechanical circulatory support in advanced heart failure) have also shown beneficial effects on renal function.

Abstract
As an interleukin (IL)-1 receptor family member, scientists found that when circulating soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2 (sST2) is low, its ligand, IL-33, will bind to ST2L to exert protective effects on various types of cells. On the other hand, competitive binding of IL-33 occurs when sST2 concentrations are increased, followed by a reduction in the amount available for cell protection. Based on this mechanism, the usage of sST2 is to identify the population of high-risk patients with cardiovascular disease. In recent years, the role of serum sST2 in the occurrence, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases has been gradually accepted by doctors. This manuscript systemically reviews the biological functions and applications of sST2 in disease diagnosis and treatment, especially for cardiovascular diseases. In clinical testing, since IL-33 can negatively impact sST2 measurement accuracy, the properties of current assay kits have been summarized and discussed to provide a clear view of the clinical chemistry results. Although sST2 is a promising biomarker, there are few quantitative approaches available for clinical testing. In this context, a mass spectrometry (MS)-based approach might be an option, as this is a powerful analytical tool to distinguish structurally related molecules in the matrix and decrease false-positive results in clinical testing. Moreover, approaches developed based on MS would be an ideal way to further study sST2 standardization.

ESC Heart Fail 2022; 10:303-310. [PMID: 36210061 PMCID: PMC9871704 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.14147] [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] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2021] [Revised: 08/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/26/2022] [Indexed: 01/29/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS Identification and intervention of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in essential hypertension (EH) are important for the prevention of adverse cardiovascular events. However, effective methods for diagnosing LVH are still lacking. This study aimed to explore the relationship between soluble ST2 (sST2) and LVH in EH patients to identify a potential specific biomarker for hypertensive LVH. METHODS AND RESULTS This study included 97 EH patients. Based on the criteria for LVH, participants were divided into the LVH group (n = 52) and the non-LVH group (n = 45). The level of serum sST2 was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Pearson correlation analysis, logistic regression analysis, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were used to investigate the potential of sST2 as a biomarker of LVH in EH patients. Compared with the non-LVH group, the sST2 level was elevated in EH patients with LVH (P < 0.001). Pearson correlation analysis indicated that the sST2 level was positively correlated with the left ventricular mass index in EH patients (r = 0.454, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) value of LVH was 2.990, suggesting that sST2 is an independent risk factor for LVH in EH patients [OR = 2.990, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.650-5.419; P < 0.001]. The area under the ROC curve was 0.767 (95% CI, 0.669-0.866; P < 0.001), with a sensitivity of 0.808 and specificity of 0.689, indicating the possibility of considering sST2 as a biomarker for diagnosing LVH. CONCLUSIONS Up-regulation of sST2 is strongly related to LVH in EH patients, is an independent risk factor for hypertensive LVH, and can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of LVH.

Abstract
The interrelations and sequencing of interleukins are complex (inter)actions where each interleukin can stimulate the secretion of its preceding interleukin. In this paper, we attempt to summarize the currently known roles of IL-4, IL-13, IL-31, and IL-33 from a multi-disciplinary perspective. In order to conduct a comprehensive review of the current literature, a search was conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, Medscape, UpToDate, and Key Elsevier for keywords. The results were compiled from case reports, case series, letters, and literature review papers, and analyzed by a panel of multi-disciplinary specialist physicians for relevance. Based on 173 results, we compiled the following review of interleukin signaling and its clinical significance across a multitude of medical specialties. Interleukins are at the bed rock of a multitude of pathologies across different organ systems and understanding their role will likely lead to novel treatments and better outcomes for our patients. New interleukins are being described, and the role of this inflammatory cascade is still coming to light. We hope this multi-discipline review on the role interleukins play in current pathology assists in this scope.

Abstract
Background: Although high-risk pregnancies are common in clinical practice, there are limited data on the association of soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) with pregnancy-related complications. The rates of maternal complications, including heart failure (HF) during the peripartum period, were evaluated according to the ST2 level. Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort study included and stratified 259 women with high-risk pregnancies in their early third trimester according to the ST2 levels. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of peripartum HF based on symptoms, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, or echocardiography associated with fluid retention. The secondary endpoints consisted of pre-eclampsia, silent pleural effusion, and pericardial effusion during the peripartum period. We performed a logistic model for the association between ST2 and maternal complications. Results: Of the 259 patients (mean age: 36.4 years, mean gestational duration: 31.6 weeks), advanced age ≥35 years and twin gestation were the most prevalent risk factors. Patients with ST2 ≥ 35 ng/mL showed enlarged cardiac chambers. Peripartum HF occurred in 2 (1.6%) out of 121 patients with ST2 < 35 ng/mL and in 47 (34%) out of 138 patients with ST2 ≥ 35 ng/mL. Those with ST2 ≥ 35 ng/mL were more likely to have the secondary endpoints (40.6% vs. 5.8%, p < 0.001). After adjustment, ST2 ≥ 35 ng/mL was associated with a six-fold occurrence of peripartum HF and a four-fold increase in the secondary endpoints. Conclusions: In women with high-risk pregnancies, peripartum HF and pre-eclampsia were not uncommon, and ST2 ≥ 35 ng/mL in the third trimester was independently related to maternal complications.

Abstract
Cytokine and growth factor receptors are usually transmembrane proteins but they can also exist in soluble forms, either through cleavage and release of their ligand-binding extracellular domain, or through secretion of a soluble isoform. As an extension of this concept, transmembrane receptors on exosomes released into the circulation may act similarly to circulating soluble receptors. These soluble receptors add to the complexity of cytokine and growth factor signalling: they can function as decoy receptor that compete for ligand binding with their respective membrane-bound forms thereby attenuating signalling, or stabilize their ligands, or activate additional signalling events through interactions with other cell-surface proteins. Their soluble nature allows for a functional role away from the production sites, in remote cell types and organs. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that soluble receptors participate in the regulation and orchestration of various key cellular processes, particularly inflammatory responses. In this review, we will discuss release mechanisms of soluble cytokine and growth factor receptors, their mechanisms of action, as well as strategies for targeting their pathways in disease.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a serious hemodynamic condition, characterized by increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), leading to right heart failure (HF) and death when not properly treated. The prognosis of PH depends on etiology, hemodynamic and biochemical parameters, as well as on response to specific treatment. Biomarkers appear to be useful noninvasive tools, providing information about the disease severity, treatment response, and prognosis. However, given the complexity of PH, it is impossible for a single biomarker to be adequate for the broad assessment of patients with different types of PH. The search for novel emerging biomarkers is still ongoing, resulting in a few potential biomarkers mirroring numerous pathophysiological courses. In this review, markers related to HF, myocardial remodeling, inflammation, hypoxia and tissue damage, and endothelial and pulmonary smooth muscle cell dysfunction are discussed in terms of diagnosis and prognosis. Extracellular vesicles and other markers with complex backgrounds are also reviewed. In conclusion, although many promising biomarkers have been identified and studied in recent years, there are still insufficient data on the application of multimarker strategies for monitoring and risk stratification in PH patients.

Abstract
IL-33 is an alarmin cytokine which has been implicated in allergy, fibrosis, inflammation, tumorigenesis, metabolism, and homeostasis. However, amongst its strongest roles are in helminth infections, where IL-33 usually (but not always) is central to induction of an effective anti-parasitic immune response. In this review, we will summarise the literature around this fascinating cytokine, its activity on immune and non-immune cells, the unique (and sometimes counterintuitive) responses it induces, and how it can coordinate the immune response during infections by parasitic helminths. Finally, we will summarise some of the ways that parasites have developed to modulate the IL-33 pathway for their own benefit.

Abstract
IL-33 is a multifunctional cytokine that mediates local inflammation upon tissue damage. IL-33 is known to act on multiple cell types including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), Th2 cells, and mast cells to drive production of Th2 cytokines including IL-5 and IL-13. IL-33 signaling activity through transmembrane ST2L can be inhibited by soluble ST2 (sST2), which acts as a decoy receptor. Previous findings suggested that modulation of IL-13 levels in mice lacking decoy IL-13Rα2, or mice lacking IL-13, impacted responsiveness to IL-33. In this study, we used Il13 -/- mice to investigate whether IL-13 regulates IL-33 activity by modulating the transmembrane and soluble forms of ST2. In Il13 -/- mice, the effects of IL-33 administration were exacerbated relative to wild type (WT). Il13 -/- mice administered IL-33 i.p. had heightened splenomegaly, more immune cells in the peritoneum including an expanded ST2L+ ILC2 population, increased eosinophilia in the spleen and peritoneum, and reduced sST2 in the circulation and peritoneum. In the spleen, lung, and liver of mice given IL-33, gene expression of both isoforms of ST2 was increased in Il13 -/- mice relative to WT. We confirmed fibroblasts to be an IL-13-responsive cell type that can regulate IL-33 activity through production of sST2. This study elucidates the important regulatory activity that IL-13 exerts on IL-33 through induction of IL-33 decoy receptor sST2 and through modulation of ST2L+ ILC2s.

Abstract
Biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP), cardiac troponin (cTn), and CK-MB contribute significantly to the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recent studies have demonstrated that suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) is associated with CVD, but a meta-analysis of ST2 levels in different CVDs has yet to be conducted. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate soluble ST2 (sST2) levels in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD), myocardial infarction (MI), and heart failure (HF). A total of 1,425 studies were searched across four databases, of which 16 studies were included in the meta-analysis. The Newcastle-Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS) values of all 16 studies were ≥7. The meta-analysis results indicated that the sST2 level was not correlated with IHD (standard mean difference [SMD] = 0.58, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] = 0.00 to 1.16, p = 0.05) or MI (weighted mean difference [WMD] = 0.17, 95% CI = -0.22 to 0.55, p = 0.40) but was significantly associated with HF (WMD = 0.21, 95% CI = 0.04 to 0.38, p = 0.02; I 2 = 99%, p < 0.00001). sST2 levels did not differ significantly between patients with IHD or MI and healthy individuals; however, we believe that ST2 could be used as an auxiliary diagnostic biomarker of HF.

Abstract
Aim. To assess the role of stimulating growth factor 2 (ST-2) and galectin-3 in predicting the ventricular tachyarrhythmias (VTA) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <35%.Material and methods. The study included 40 patients (men, 36 (90,0%); median age, 64,5 [57,5; 68,5] years) with CAD, NYHA class IIIII heart failure, LVEF <35%, indications for implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) (primary prevention of sudden cardiac death). Prior to ICD implantation, patients were measured for serum ST-2 and galectin-3 levels. For 18 months, patients were assessed for arrhythmic events recorded in the ICD memory.Results. The 1st group consisted of 10 (25,0%) patients who had VTA episodes, arrested by antitachycardia pacing or shock during 18-month follow-up. The 2nd group consisted of 30 (75,0%) patients without VTA episodes. It was found that ST-2 concentration >22,48 ng/ml (p=0,02) and galectin-3 >10,95 ng/ml (p=0,009) corresponded to appropriate ICD discharge. Multivariate ROC analysis demonstrated that the only independent predictor of VTA was ST-2 elevation (odds ratio, 1,11; 95% CI, 1,01-1,21; p=0,023).Conclusion. An increase in the concentration of both ST-2 >22,48 ng/ml and galectin-3 >10,95 ng/ml had a high predictive value in assessing the VTA risk in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy. In multivariate analysis, an increase in ST-2 >22,48 ng/ml was an independent predictor of VTA.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases remain the most common causes of death globally, according to the World Health Organization. In recent years, a great number of biomarkers have been investigated, whereas only some have gained value in the diagnosis, prognosis, and risk stratification of different cardiovascular illnesses. As numerous studies have investigated the diagnostic yield of novel biomarkers in various disease entities every year, this review aims to provide an overview of the current status of four promising representatives. In particular, this manuscript refers to soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), growth differentiation factor (GDF-15) and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR). These markers are of special interest as they are thought to provide an accurate estimate of cardiovascular risk in certain patient populations, especially those with pre-existing diseases, such as obesity or diabetes mellitus. We sought to give an overview of their function, individual diagnostic and predictive value and determination in the laboratory. A review of the literature regarding the aforementioned cardiovascular biomarkers yielded manifold results with respect to their individual diagnostic and prognostic value. Yet, the clinical relevance of these findings remains unclear, warranting further studies to identify their optimal use in clinical routine.

Abstract
A simple and accurate prognostic tool for Heart Failure (HF) patients is critical to improve follow-up. Different risk scores are accurate but with limited clinical applicability. The current study aims to derive and validate a simple predictive tool for HF prognosis. French outpatients with stable HF of two university hospitals were included in the derivation (N = 134) or in the validation (N = 274) sample and followed up for a median of 23 months. Potential predictors were variables with known association with mortality and easily available. The proSCANNED risk score was derived using a parametric survival model on complete case data; it includes 8 binary variables and its values are 0–8. In the validation sample, the ability of the score to discriminate the 1-year vital status was moderate (AUC = 0.71, IC95% = [0.64–0.71]). However, the stratification of the score in three groups showed a good calibration for patients in the low- and medium-risk risk group. The proSCANNED score is an easy-to-use tool in clinical practice with a good discrimination, stability, and calibration sufficient to improve the medical care of patients. Other follow up studies are necessary to assess score applicability in larger populations, and its impact.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) and galectin-3, novel biomarkers of heart failure and cardiovascular stress, predict cardiovascular events (CVEs) and mortality. However, their relationship with kidney function and adverse outcomes in CKD are uncertain. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between sST2 and galectin-3 with CKD progression and adverse clinical outcomes. METHODS We measured baseline sST2 and galectin-3 levels in the CKD patient cohort at our institution between October 2013 and December 2014. The primary outcome was CKD progression (kidney failure with replacement therapy or ≥50% reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate from the baseline). The secondary outcome was the composite of CVEs and death. We used a Cox proportional hazards model to evaluate the associations between sST2 and galectin-3 levels, with kidney and clinical outcomes. RESULTS In total, 352 patients were enrolled in this study. At baseline, log sST2 and galectin-3 were directly associated with the serum creatinine (Cr) and urine protein-to-Cr ratio. Cox regression analysis showed that the baseline log sST2 level independently predicted CKD progression and composite outcome after adjustment for age, sex, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, renin-angiotensin system blocker, calcium channel blocker, β-blocker, diuretics, antiplatelet agents, anemia, and hypoalbuminemia. The baseline log galectin-3 level was independently associated with CKD progression, but not with the composite outcome after adjustment for confounding variables. CONCLUSIONS Elevated levels of sST2 and galectin-3 are significantly associated with CKD progression, but only sST2 is associated with adverse clinical outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inflammation is a hallmark of heart failure (HF) and among inflammatory biomarkers, the most studied remains the C-reactive protein (CRP). In recent years several biomarkers have emerged, such as sST2 and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR). This study set out to examine the relative importance of long-time prognostic strength of suPAR and the potential additive information on patient risk with chronic HF in comparison with pronostic value of CRP and sST2. METHODS Demographics, clinical and biological variables were assessed in a total of 182 patients with chronic HF over median follow-up period of 80 months. Inflammatory biomarkers (i.e., CRP, sST2, and suPAR) were performed. RESULTS In univariate Cox regression analysis age, NYHA class, MAGGIC score and the five biomarkers (N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide [NT-proBNP], high-sensitive cardiac troponin T [hs-cTnT], CRP, sST2, and suPAR) were associated with both all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. In the multivariate model, only NT-proBNP, suPAR, and MAGGIC score remained independent predictors of all-cause mortality as well as of cardiovascular mortality. Risk classification analysis was significantly improved with the addition of suPAR particularly for all-cause short- and long-term mortality. Using a classification tree approach, the same three variables could be considered as significant classifier variables to predict all-cause or cardiovascular mortality and an algorithm were reported. We demonstrated the favorable outcome associated with patients with a low MAGGIC score and a low suPAR level by comparison to patients with low MAGGIC score but high suPAR values. CONCLUSIONS The main findings of our study are (1) that among the three inflammatory biomarkers, only suPAR levels were independently associated with 96-month mortality for patients with chronic HF and (2) that an algorithm based on clinical score, a cardiomyocyte stress biomarker and an inflammatory biomarker could help to a more reliable long term risk stratification in heart failure.

Abstract
Background: The aim of the study was to assess soluble ST2 (sST2) concentration and its dynamic changes in the periprocedural period in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) treated with balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA). Methods: We prospectively analyzed 57 procedures of BPA performed in 37 patients with CTEPH. Biomarkers, such as N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), troponin T (TnT), and sST2 were assessed at four time points: Before the BPA procedure, 24 h and 48 h after the procedure, and at the discharge from hospital. Each postprocedural period was assessed for complications. Results: Before the BPA procedure, median sST2 concentration was 26.56 ng/mL (IQR: 16.66–40.83 ng/mL). sST2 concentration was significantly higher 24 h and 48 h after the BPA compared to the baseline measurements (33.31 ng/mL (IQR: 20.81–62.56), p = 0.000 and 27.45 ng/mL (IQR: 17.66–54.45), p = 0.028, respectively). sST2 level 24 h after the BPA procedure was significantly higher in the group with complications compared to the group without complications in the postprocedural period (97.66 ng/mL (IQR: 53.07–126.18) vs. 26.86 ng/mL (IQR: 19.10–40.12), p = 0.000). Conclusions: sST2 concentration in patients with CTEPH treated with BPA changes significantly in the postprocedural period and is significantly higher in the group with complications in postprocedural period.

Abstract
Background: Heart failure is a pathophysiological state, which is still associated with high morbidity and mortality despite established therapies. Diverse well-known biomarkers fail to assess the variety of individual pathophysiology in the context of heart failure. Methods: An analysis of prospective, multimarker-specific therapeutic approaches to heart failure based on studies in current literature was performed. A total of 159 screened publications in the field of biomarkers in heart failure were hand-selected and found to be eligible for this study by a team of experts. Results: Established biomarkers of the inflammatory axis, matrix remodeling, fibrosis and oxidative stress axis, as well as potential therapeutic interventions were investigated. Interaction with end organs, such as cardio-hepatic, cardio-renal and cardio-gastrointestinal interactions show the complexity of the syndrome and could be of further therapeutic value. MicroRNAs are involved in a wide variety of physiologic and pathophysiologic processes in heart failure and could be useful in diagnostic as well as therapeutic setting. Conclusion: Based on our analysis by a biomarker-driven approach in heart failure therapy, patients could be treated more specifically in long term with a consideration of different aspects of heart failure. New studies evaluating a multimarker – based therapeutic approach could lead in a decrease in the morbidity and mortality of heart failure patients.

Abstract
We aimed to compare retinal vascular density in Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCT-A) between patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and control patients and to investigate correlation with angiogenesis biomarkers. Patients hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the Intensive Care Unit were included in the "high cardiovascular risk" group while patients without cardiovascular risk presenting in the Ophthalmology department were included as "control". Both groups had blood sampling and OCT-A imaging. Retina microvascularization density in the superficial capillary plexus was measured on 3 × 3 mm angiograms centered on the macula. Angiopoietin-2, TGF-β1, osteoprotegerin, GDF-15 and ST-2 were explored with ELISA or multiplex method. Overall, 62 eyes of ACS patients and 42 eyes of controls were included. ACS patients had significantly lower inner vessel length density than control patients (p = 0.004). A ROC curve found that an inner vessel length density threshold below 20.05 mm-1 was moderately associated with ACS. Significant correlation was found between serum levels of angiopoietin-2 and osteoprotegerin, and retinal microvascularization in OCT-A (R = - 0.293, p = 0.003; R = - 0.310, p = 0.001). Lower inner vessel length density measured with OCT-A was associated with ACS event and was also correlated with higher concentrations of angiopoietin-2 and osteoprotegerin.

[PMID: 32710942 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2020.07.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2020] [Revised: 07/18/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Heart failure remains a continuing threat to patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although various heart failure biomarkers have been applied for early detection, diagnosis and prognosis in CKD, these are easily affected by renal insufficiency thus limiting use in these patients. In this review, the major four groups of heart failure biomarkers are explored. These include those associated with: myocardial stretch, ie, brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), N-terminal pro-BNP (NT-proBNP) and mid-regional proatrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP); myocyte injury, ie, high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT), heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP); fibrosis, matrix remodelling and inflammation, ie, soluble growth stimulating gene 2 (sST2), galectin-3 (Gal-3), growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15); and renal function, ie, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), cystatin C (CysC), urinary sodium and urinary albumin. This review highlights classic heart failure biomarkers with critical values adjusted to glomerular filtration rate, summarizes research progress of new heart failure biomarkers and future research directions. Because diagnostic and prognostic usefulness of a single time point biomarker is limited, biomarkers should be combined and monitored at multiple times for optimal clinical impact.

Multimarker Approach to Identify Patients with Coronary Artery Disease at High Risk for Subsequent Cardiac Adverse Events: The Multi-Biomarker Study. Biomolecules 2020; 10:biom10060909. [PMID: 32549327 PMCID: PMC7356937 DOI: 10.3390/biom10060909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/08/2020] [Revised: 06/03/2020] [Accepted: 06/10/2020] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
In our prospective non-randomized, single-center cohort study (n = 161), we have evaluated a multimarker approach including S100 calcium binding protein A12 (S100A1), interleukin 1 like-receptor-4 (IL1R4), adrenomedullin, copeptin, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), and ischemia modified albumin (IMA) in prediction of subsequent cardiac adverse events (AE) during 1-year follow-up in patients with coronary artery disease. The primary endpoint was to assess the combined discriminatory predictive value of the selected 7 biomarkers in prediction of AE (myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, death, stroke, and hospitalization) by canonical discriminant function analysis. The main secondary endpoints were the levels of the 7 biomarkers in the groups with/without AE; comparison of the calculated discriminant score of the biomarkers with traditional logistic regression and C-statistics. The canonical correlation coefficient was 0.642, with a Wilk’s lambda value of 0.78 and p < 0.001. By using the calculated discriminant equation with the weighted mean discriminant score (centroid), the sensitivity and specificity of our model were 79.4% and 74.3% in prediction of AE. These values were higher than that of the calculated C-statistics if traditional risk factors with/without biomarkers were used for AE prediction. In conclusion, canonical discriminant analysis of the multimarker approach is able to define the risk threshold at the individual patient level for personalized medicine.

Abstract
Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common chromosomal abnormal heart disease. The pathophysiological mechanism of HCM is complex. Several studies have suggested that the level of Soluble ST2 (sST2) may be a biomarker of chronic systolic heart failure, however, the role of sST2 in HCM remains unclear. So we performed this study to analyze the role of Soluble ST2 (sST2), Galectin-3 (Gal-3) and its correlations with clinical prognosis of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) undergoing ventricular septal myectomy. Methods HCM patients who underwent modified Morrow surgery in our hospital during June 2016-June 2018 were included. We divided the patients into different groups stratified by sST2 and Gal-3 level. Besides, we included volunteers without heart disease for medical examination as normal controls. Biochemical analyses were conducted to identify the biomarkers difference. The predictive value of sST2 and Gal-3 on all-cause mortality was evaluated with Cox regression analysis. Results A total of 125 HCM patients were included in this present study. The sST2 and Gal-3 levels in HCM patients were significantly higher than that in control group (all P<0.001); there were significant differences in the incidence of all-cause mortality for HCM patients stratified by the sST2 and Gal-3 level; Cox univariate regression survival analysis showed that the hypertension (HR =1.19, 95% CI: 1.01-1.38), maximum wall thickness (HR =1.48, 95% CI: 1.04-1.98), Log sST2 (HR =1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.05), Log Gal-3 (HR =1.17, 95% CI: 1.09-1.32) were the predictors for all-cause mortality in patients with HCM, and Cox multivariate risk regression showed that maximum wall thickness was the independent predictors of all-cause mortality in patients with HCM (HR =1.63, 95% CI: 1.35-1.97). Conclusions Even through sST2 and Gal-3 were not associated with clinical prognosis of patients with HCM undergoing ventricular septal myectomy, it may be involved in the progress of HCM, more studies are warranted to identify the potential mechanism and reverence value.

Abstract
BACKGROUND we aimed at investigating the influence of weightlessness and hypergravity by means of parabolic flight on the levels of the heart failure biomarkers H-FABP, sST2, IL-33, GDF-15, suPAR and Fetuin-A. METHODS 14 healthy volunteers (males: eight; mean age: 28.9) undergoing 31 short-term phases of weightlessness and hypergravity were included. At different time points (baseline, 1 h/24 h after parabolic flight), venous blood was drawn and analyzed by the use of ELISA. RESULTS sST2 evidenced a significant decrease 24 h after parabolic flight (baseline vs. 24, p = 0.009; 1 h vs. 24 h, p = 0.004). A similar finding was observed for GDF-15 (baseline vs. 24 h, p = 0.002; 1 h vs. 24 h, p = 0.025). The suPAR showed a significant decrease 24 h after parabolic flight (baseline vs. 24 h, p = 0.1726; 1 h vs. 24 h, p = 0.009). Fetuin-A showed a significant increase at 1 h and 24 h after parabolic flight (baseline vs. 24 h, p = 0.007; 1 h vs. 24 h, p = 0.04). H-FABP and IL-33 showed no significant differences at all time points. CONCLUSION Our results suggest a reduction in cardiac stress induced by exposure to gravitational changes. Moreover, our findings indicate an influence of gravitational changes on proliferative processes and calcium homeostasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In this trial, we analyzed the plasma levels of novel biomarkers that reflect different pathophysiological pathways (sST2: mechanical strain, IGF-BP2: metabolic pathways, suPAR and GDF-15: inflammatory processes) in patients undergoing physical exercise to investigate the effects of training on their plasma concentrations. METHODS Plasma concentrations of novel biomarkers (sST2, IGF-BP2, suPAR and GDF-15) were analyzed by means of ELISA in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing four weeks of high- and moderate-intensity training (EXCITE Trial) and in patients with one or more cardiovascular risk factors undergoing eight months of intensive physical exercise (IGF-BP2). Plasma levels of sST2 in patients undergoing eight months of intensive exercise have been published previously by our study group (1.13-fold change, P=0.045). RESULTS Four weeks of high-intensity exercise training resulted in a statistically significant change in the plasma level of sST2 (1.106-fold change, P=0.0054) and IGF-BP2 (1.24-fold-change, P=0.0165). Eight months of intensive exercise resulted in a significant increase of IGF-BP2 (median 61.2 ng/mL to 80.7 ng/mL, 1.319-fold change, P=0.006). CONCLUSIONS The significant increase of sST2 after four weeks might be a short-term effect due to the mechanical strain caused by the high-intensity training program, whereas the increase in IGF-BP2 after four weeks and eight months is likely a result of metabolic changes due to physical exercise.

Soluble ST2 is a Useful Biomarker for Grading Cerebral-Cardiac Syndrome in Patients after Acute Ischemic Stroke. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9020489. [PMID: 32054047 PMCID: PMC7074380 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9020489] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2020] [Revised: 01/28/2020] [Accepted: 02/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
This study tested whether the soluble (s)ST2 is a superb biomarker predictive of moderate to severe cerebral-cardiac syndrome (CCS) (defined as coexisting National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) >8 and left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <60%) in patients after acute ischemic stroke (IS). Between November 2015 and October 2017, a total of 99 IS patients were prospectively enrolled and categorized into three groups based on NIHSS, i.e., group 1 (NIHSS ≤ 8, n = 66), group 2 (NIHSS = 9-15, n = 14) and group 3 (NIHSS ≥ 16, n = 19), respectively. Blood samples were collected immediately after hospitalization, followed by transthoracic echocardiographic examination. The results showed that the flow cytometric analysis for assessment of inflammatory biomarkers of TLR2+/CD14+cells, TLR4+/CD14+cells, Ly6g+/CD14+cells, and MPO+/CD14+cells, and ELISA assessment for circulatory level of sST2 were significantly higher in groups 2/3 than in group 1 (all p < 0.01). However, these parameters did not show significant differences between groups 2 and 3 (all p > 0.05). The LVEF was significantly lower in group 3 than in group 1 (p < 0.001), but it displayed no difference between groups 1/2 or between groups 2/3. These inflammatory biomarkers ((TLR2+/CD14+cells// TLR4+/CD14+cells// MPO+/CD14+cells) and sST2)) were significantly positively correlated to NIHSS and strongly negatively correlated to LVEF (all p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that both MPO/CD14+cells >20% (p = 0.027) and sST2 ≥ 17,600 (p = 0.004) were significantly and independently predictive of moderate-severe CCS after acute IS. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that sST2 was the most powerful predictor of CCS with a sensitivity of 0.929 and a specificity of 0.731 (p < 0.001). In conclusion, sST2 is a useful biomarker for prediction of CCS severity in patients after acute IS.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to assess the prognostic value of determining the plasma concentration of NT-proBNP and ST2 in the patients with decompensated HF and prior acute myocardial infarction and their combination in this category of patients.
Materials and methods. There were examined 120 patients with acute myocardial infarction and stage II A-B decompensated chronic HF according to the classification proposed by Vasylenko V. Kh. and Strazhesko M.D., NYHA functional class (FC) III-IV. The patients with Q-QS wave MI (60 individuals) and non Q MI (60 individuals) were divided into 4 groups depending on the treatment methods.
Study groups were homogenous by age, gender, disease severity, duration of the post-infarction period, clinical signs of decompensation, which served as a basis for inclusion of the patients in the study.
All the patients underwent the six-minute walk test in a quiet 30-50-m long hospital corridor in the morning. N-terminal pro-B-type brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and ST-2 were analyzed in all patients.
Results. Promising biomarkers of HF decompensation in the post-infarction period were studied. In the patients with prior Q-QS MI and decompensated HF, NT-proBNP level was (950.38±3.15) pmol/l (p<0.05); in the patients with prior MI without signs of decompensated HF, it was (580.15±3.03) pmol/l (p˂0.05); in apparently healthy individuals, the level of NT-proBNP was found to be (111.20±3.47) pmol/l.
ST2 level was (14.80±1.61) ng/ml, (36.00±1.43) ng/ml and (49.22±1.40) ng/ml in the patients of Group 1, Group 2 and Group 3, respectively (p˂0.05).
Similar changes were found in patients with decompensated HF in postinfarction period after non Q MI.
Conclusions. The increase in plasma concentration of sST2 is associated with the activation of both neurohumoral and fibrous pathways and can help in detecting the patients with decompensated HF in the post-infarction period and predicting the risk of its development.
Our results confirmed the results of other multiple studies reporting ST2 in combination with NT-proBNP to be valuable tools for prognosing the development of decompensated HF in the patients with prior MI. ST2, alongside with NT-proBNP, is a promising biomarker to be included in the diagnostic panel for detecting acute HF and can provide additional information on risk stratification for such patients during hospitalization and at the time of discharge from the hospital.

Abstract
Rationale The urinary proteome reflects molecular drivers of disease. Objectives To construct a urinary proteomic biomarker predicting 1-year post-ICU mortality. Methods In 1243 patients, the urinary proteome was measured on ICU admission, using capillary electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry along with clinical variables, circulating biomarkers (BNP, hsTnT, active ADM, and NGAL), and urinary albumin. Methods included support vector modeling to construct the classifier, Cox regression, the integrated discrimination (IDI), and net reclassification (NRI) improvement, and area under the curve (AUC) to assess predictive accuracy, and Proteasix and protein-proteome interactome analyses. Measurements and main results In the discovery (deaths/survivors, 70/299) and test (175/699) datasets, the new classifier ACM128, mainly consisting of collagen fragments, yielding AUCs of 0.755 (95% CI, 0.708–0.798) and 0.688 (0.656–0.719), respectively. While accounting for study site and clinical risk factors, hazard ratios in 1243 patients were 2.41 (2.00–2.91) for ACM128 (+ 1 SD), 1.24 (1.16–1.32) for the Charlson Comorbidity Index (+ 1 point), and ≥ 1.19 (P ≤ 0.022) for other biomarkers (+ 1 SD). ACM128 improved (P ≤ 0.0001) IDI (≥ + 0.50), NRI (≥ + 53.7), and AUC (≥ + 0.037) over and beyond clinical risk indicators and other biomarkers. Interactome mapping, using parental proteins derived from sequenced peptides included in ACM128 and in silico predicted proteases, including/excluding urinary collagen fragments (63/35 peptides), revealed as top molecular pathways protein digestion and absorption, lysosomal activity, and apoptosis. Conclusions The urinary proteomic classifier ACM128 predicts the 1-year post-ICU mortality over and beyond clinical risk factors and other biomarkers and revealed molecular pathways potentially contributing to a fatal outcome.

[PMID: 31852642 PMCID: PMC6926092 DOI: 10.12122/j.issn.1673-4254.2019.11.02] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2019] [Accepted: 11/12/2019] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the diagnostic value of plasma growth and differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) level, GDF-15 mRNA expression in circulating mononuclear cells (MNCs), and plasma pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) level for heart failure in patients with different underlying cardiac diseases, namely dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and coronary artery heart disease (CAD), and assess their value in predicting the severity of heart failure and long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. METHODS Fasting venous blood samples were collected from 261 patients with DCM and 251 patients with CAD admitted in our hospital between January, 2018 and January, 2019, with 132 healthy individuals serving as the control group. The plasma level of GDF-15 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression of GDF-15 mRNA in the MNCs was measured by real-time PCR. We also analyzed the expression of GDF-15 in patients with different NYHA classes, and the ROC curve was used to evaluate the predictive power of GDF-15 mRNA for CVD events. RESULTS The plasma levels of GDF-15 and GDF-15 mRNA in the MNCs were significantly higher in patients with DCM and CAD than in the control group (P < 0.01). Plasma GDF-15 levels were significantly higher in NYHA class Ⅳ patients than in class Ⅱ and Ⅲ patients, and GDF-15 mRNA expressions in the MNCs were much higher in class Ⅲ and Ⅳ patients than class Ⅱ patients (P < 0.01). ROC curve analysis showed that for predicting CVD events, the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.73 (95% CI: 0.69-0.77, P < 0.001) for NT-proBNP alone, as compared with 0.83 (95% CI: 0.79-0.86, P < 0.001) for GDF-15 mRNA in the MNCs combined with NT-proBNP. CONCLUSIONS Plasma GDF-15 level and GDF-15 mRNA expression level in the MNSc can both be used as biomarkers for heart failure. Plasma level of GDF-15 is more sensitive for predicting NYHA class Ⅳ patients with heart failure, while GDF-15 mRNA level in the MNCs better predicts class Ⅱ patients. The combination of NT-proBNP with GDF-15 mRNAlevel in the MNCs can more accurately predict the risk of long-term CVD events.

Abstract
Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) is a biomarker widely investigated during the last few years. Its role has become clear in pathological conditions such as fibrosis and inflammation. From translational research to laboratory medicine, considerable efforts have been made to elucidate the features of sST2 biomarker and to consider its contribution to HF management. In this review, we summarized the results from recent works concerning sST2, and particularly we focused on the interest of sST2 in conditions for which classical biomarkers value interpretation is misleading. Indeed, despite other HF biomarkers, sST2 was proved to be independent from common comorbidities such as renal dysfunction and hypertension. Thus, sST2 showed promise for a combined strategy with natriuretic peptides, mainly for specific categories of patients. Particular attention was paid to findings on sST2 in HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), a form of HF for which reliable and specific biomarkers are awaited. Finally, a place is reserved to sST2 kinetics from basal to follow up values in order to improve clinical decision making and to customize patient treatments.

Abstract
This manuscript describes the production of molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (nanoMIPs) for the cardiac biomarkers heart-fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) and ST2 by solid-phase synthesis, and their use as synthetic antibodies in a multiplexed sensing platform. Analysis by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) shows that the affinity of the nanoMIPs is similar to that of commercially available antibodies. The particles are coated onto the surface of thermocouples and inserted into 3D-printed flow cells of different multiplexed designs. We demonstrate that it is possible to selectively detect both cardiac biomarkers within the physiologically relevant range. Furthermore, the developed sensor platform is the first example of a multiplex format of this thermal analysis technique which enables simultaneous measurements of two different compounds with minimal cross selectivity. The format where three thermocouples are positioned in parallel exhibits the highest sensitivity, which is explained by modeling the heat flow distribution within the flow cell. This design is used in further experiments and proof-of-application of the sensor platform is provided by measuring spiked fetal bovine serum samples. Because of the high selectivity, short measurement time, and low cost of this array format, it provides an interesting alternative to traditional immunoassays. The use of nanoMIPs enables a multimarker strategy, which has the potential to contribute to sustainable healthcare by improving the reliability of cardiac biomarker testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2) is a biomarker related to inflammation and fibrosis. OBJECTIVES This study assessed the independent prognostic value of sST2 in chronic heart failure (HF). METHODS Individual patient data from studies that assessed sST2 for risk prediction in chronic HF, together with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT), were retrieved. RESULTS A total of 4,268 patients were evaluated (median age 68 years, 75% males, 65% with ischemic HF, 87% with left ventricular ejection fraction [LVEF] <40%). NT-proBNP, hs-TnT, and sST2 were 1,360 ng/l (interquartile interval: 513 to 3,222 ng/l), 18 ng/l (interquartile interval: 9 to 33 ng/l), and 27 ng/l (interquartile interval: 20 to 39 ng/l), respectively. During a 2.4-year median follow-up, 1,319 patients (31%) experienced all-cause death (n = 932 [22%] for cardiovascular causes). Among the 4,118 patients (96%) with available data, 1,029 (24%) were hospitalized at least once for worsening HF over 2.2 years. The best sST2 cutoff for the prediction of all-cause and cardiovascular death and HF hospitalization was 28 ng/ml, with good performance at Kaplan-Meier analysis (log-rank: 117.6, 61.0, and 88.6, respectively; all p < 0.001). In a model that included age, sex, body mass index, ischemic etiology, LVEF, New York Heart Association functional class, glomerular filtration rate, HF medical therapy, NT-proBNP, and hs-TnT, the risk of all-cause death, cardiovascular death, and HF hospitalization increased by 26%, 25%, and 30%, respectively, per each doubling of sST2. sST2 retained its independent prognostic value across most population subgroups. CONCLUSIONS sST2 yielded strong, independent predictive value for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, and HF hospitalization in chronic HF, and deserves consideration to be part of a multimarker panel together with NT-proBNP and hs-TnT.

Abstract
Background: The early identification of heart failure (HF) risk may favorably affect outcomes, and the combination of multiple biomarkers may provide a more comprehensive and valuable means for improving the risk of stratification. This study was conducted to assess the importance of individual cardiac biomarkers creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), galectin-3 (Gal-3) and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) for HF diagnosis, and the predictive performance of the combination of these four biomarkers was analyzed using random forest algorithms. Methods: A total of 193 participants (80 patients with HF and 113 age- and gender-matched healthy controls) were included from June 2017 to December 2017. The correlation and regression analysis were conducted between cardiac biomarkers and echocardiographic parameters. The accuracy and importance of these predictor variables were assessed using random forest algorithms. Results: Patients with HF exhibited significantly higher levels of CK-MB, BNP, Gal-3, and sST2. BNP exhibited a good independent predictive capacity for HF (AUC 0.956). However, CK-MB, sST2, and Gal-3 exhibited a modest diagnostic performance for HF, with an AUC of 0.709, 0.711, and 0.777, respectively. BNP was the most important variable, with a remarkably higher mean decrease accuracy and Gini. Furthermore, there was a general increase in predictive performance using the multi-marker model, and the sensitivity, specificity was 91.5% and 96.7%, respectively. Conclusion: The random forest algorithm provides a robust method to assess the accuracy and importance of predictor variables. The combination of CK-MB, BNP, Gal-3, and sST2 achieves improvement in prediction accuracy for HF.

Elevations in Circulating sST2 Levels Are Associated With In-Hospital Mortality and Adverse Clinical Outcomes After Blunt Trauma. J Surg Res 2019; 244:23-33. [PMID: 31279260 DOI: 10.1016/j.jss.2019.05.057] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/11/2019] [Revised: 04/09/2019] [Accepted: 05/30/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2), a decoy receptor for interleukin (IL)-33, has emerged as a novel biomarker in various disease processes. Recent studies have elucidated the role of the sST2/IL-33 complex in modulating the balance of Th1/Th2 immune responses after tissue stress. However, the role of sST2 as a biomarker after traumatic injury remains unclear. To address this, we evaluated serum sST2 correlations with mortality and in-hospital adverse outcomes as endpoints in blunt trauma patients. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed clinical and biobank data of 493 blunt trauma victims 472 survivors (mean age: 48.4 ± 0.87; injury severity score [ISS]: 19.6 ± 0.48) and 19 nonsurvivors (mean age: 58.8 ± 4.5; ISS: 23.3 ± 2.1) admitted to the intensive care unit. Given the confounding impact of age on the inflammatory response, we derived a propensity-matched survivor subgroup (n = 19; mean age: 59 ± 3; ISS: 23.4 ± 2) using an IBM SPSS case-control matching algorithm. Serial blood samples were obtained from all patients (3 samples within the first 24 h and then once daily from day [D] 1 to D5 after injury). sST2 and twenty-nine inflammatory biomarkers were assayed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Luminex, respectively. Two-way analysis of variance on ranks was used to compare groups (P < 0.05). Spearman rank correlation was performed to determine the association of circulating sST2 levels with biomarker levels and in-hospital clinical outcomes. RESULTS Circulating sST2 levels of the nonsurvivor cohort were statistically significantly elevated at 12 h after injury and remained elevated up to D5 when compared either to the overall 472 survivor cohort or a matched 19 survivor subcohort. Admission sST2 levels obtained from the first blood draw after injury in the survivor cohort correlated positively with admission base deficit (correlation coefficient [CC] = 0.1; P = 0.02), international normalized ratio (CC = 0.1, P = 0.03), ISS (CC = 0.1, P = 0.008), and the average Marshall multiple organ dysfunction score between D2 and D5 (CC = 0.1, P = 0.04). Correlations with ISS revealed a positive correlation of ISS with plasma sST2 levels across the mild ISS (CC = 0.47, P < 0.001), moderate ISS (CC = 0.58, P < 0.001), and severe ISS groups (CC = 0.63, P < 0.001). Analysis of biomarker correlations in the matched survivor group over the initial 24 h after injury showed that sST2 correlates strongly and positively with IL-4 (CC = 0.65, P = 0.002), IL-5 (CC = 0.57, P = 0.01), IL-21 (CC = 0.52, P = 0.02), IL-2 (CC = 0.51, P = 0.02), soluble IL-2 receptor-α (CC = 0.5, P = 0.02), IL-13 (CC = 0.49, P = 0.02), and IL-17A (CC = 0.48, P = 0.03). This was not seen in the matched nonsurvivor group. sST2/IL-33 ratios were significantly elevated in nonsurvivors and patients with severe injury based on ISS ≥ 25. CONCLUSIONS Elevations in serum sST2 levels are associated with poor clinical trajectories and mortality after blunt trauma. High sST2 coupled with low IL-33 associates with severe injury, mortality, and worse clinical outcomes. These findings suggest that sST2 could serve as an early prognostic biomarker in trauma patients and that sustained elevations of sST2 could contribute to a detrimental suppression of IL-33 bioavailability in patients with high injury severity.

Biomarkers of Inflammation in Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction. DISEASE MARKERS 2019; 2019:7583690.

Abstract
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is an important precursor to many different cardiovascular diseases. Diastolic abnormalities have been studied extensively in the past decade, and it has been confirmed that one of the mechanisms leading to heart failure is a chronic, low-grade inflammatory reaction. The triggers are classical cardiovascular risk factors, grouped under the name of metabolic syndrome (MetS), or other systemic diseases that have an inflammatory substrate such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The triggers could induce myocardial apoptosis and reduce ventricular wall compliance through the release of cytokines by multiple pathways such as (1) immune reaction, (2) prolonged cell hypoxemia, or (3) excessive activation of neuroendocrine and autonomic nerve function disorder. The systemic proinflammatory state causes coronary microvascular endothelial inflammation which reduces nitric oxide bioavailability, cyclic guanosine monophosphate content, and protein kinase G (PKG) activity in adjacent cardiomyocytes favoring hypertrophy development and increases resting tension. So far, it has been found that inflammatory cytokines associated with the heart failure mechanism include TNF-α, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-2, TGF-β, and IFN-γ. Some of them could be used as diagnosis biomarkers. The present review aims at discussing the inflammatory mechanisms behind diastolic dysfunction and their triggering conditions, cytokines, and possible future inflammatory biomarkers useful for diagnosis.
