Abstract
One of the most vital processes of the body is the cardiovascular system's proper operation. Physiological processes in the heart are regulated by the balance of cardioprotective and pathological mechanisms. The insulin-like growth factor system (IGF system, IGF signaling pathway) plays a pivotal role in regulating growth and development of various cells and tissues. In myocardium, the IGF system provides cardioprotective effects as well as participates in pathological processes. This review summarizes recent data on the role of IGF signaling in cardioprotection and pathogenesis of various cardiovascular diseases, as well as analyzes severity of these effects in various scenarios.

Abstract
Adverse cardiac outcomes in COVID-19 patients, particularly those with preexisting cardiac disease, motivate the development of human cell-based organ-on-a-chip models to recapitulate cardiac injury and dysfunction and for screening of cardioprotective therapeutics. Here, we developed a heart-on-a-chip model to study the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 in healthy myocardium established from human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes and a cardiac dysfunction model, mimicking aspects of preexisting hypertensive disease induced by angiotensin II (Ang II). We recapitulated cytopathic features of SARS-CoV-2-induced cardiac damage, including progressively impaired contractile function and calcium handling, apoptosis, and sarcomere disarray. SARS-CoV-2 presence in Ang II-treated hearts-on-a-chip decreased contractile force with earlier onset of contractile dysfunction and profoundly enhanced inflammatory cytokines compared to SARS-CoV-2 alone. Toward the development of potential therapeutics, we evaluated the cardioprotective effects of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from human iPSC which alleviated the impairment of contractile force, decreased apoptosis, reduced the disruption of sarcomeric proteins, and enhanced beta-oxidation gene expression. Viral load was not affected by either Ang II or EV treatment. We identified MicroRNAs miR-20a-5p and miR-19a-3p as potential mediators of cardioprotective effects of these EVs.

Proteomic profiles of left atrial volume and its influence on response to spironolactone: Findings from the HOMAGE trial and STANISLAS cohort. Eur J Heart Fail 2024; 26:1231-1241. [PMID: 38528728 DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.3202] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Revised: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/07/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024] Open
Abstract
AIMS High left ventricular filling pressure increases left atrial volume and causes myocardial fibrosis, which may decrease with spironolactone. We studied clinical and proteomic characteristics associated with left atrial volume indexed by body surface area (LAVi), and whether LAVi influences the response to spironolactone on biomarker expression and clinical variables. METHODS AND RESULTS In the HOMAGE trial, where people at risk of heart failure were randomized to spironolactone or control, we analysed 421 participants with available LAVi and 276 proteomic measurements (Olink) at baseline, month 1 and 9 (mean age 73 ± 6 years; women 26%; LAVi 32 ± 9 ml/m2). Circulating proteins associated with LAVi were also assessed in asymptomatic individuals from a population-based cohort (STANISLAS; n = 1640; mean age 49 ± 14 years; women 51%; LAVi 23 ± 7 ml/m2). In both studies, greater LAVi was significantly associated with greater left ventricular masses and volumes. In HOMAGE, after adjustment and correction for multiple testing, greater LAVi was associated with higher concentrations of matrix metallopeptidase-2 (MMP-2), insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) (false discovery rates [FDR] <0.05). These associations were externally replicated in STANISLAS (all FDR <0.05). Among these biomarkers, spironolactone decreased concentrations of MMP-2 and NT-proBNP, regardless of baseline LAVi (pinteraction > 0.10). Spironolactone also significantly reduced LAVi, improved left ventricular ejection fraction, lowered E/e', blood pressure and serum procollagen type I C-terminal propeptide (PICP) concentration, a collagen synthesis marker, regardless of baseline LAVi (pinteraction > 0.10). CONCLUSION In individuals without heart failure, LAVi was associated with MMP-2, IGFBP-2 and NT-proBNP. Spironolactone reduced these biomarker concentrations as well as LAVi and PICP, irrespective of left atrial size.

Transcriptomic Analysis of Extracellular Vesicles in the Search for Novel Plasma and Thrombus Biomarkers of Ischemic Stroke Etiologies. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:4379.

Abstract
Accurate etiologic diagnosis provides an appropriate secondary prevention and better prognosis in ischemic stroke (IS) patients; still, 45% of IS are cryptogenic, urging us to enhance diagnostic precision. We have studied the transcriptomic content of plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) (n = 21) to identify potential biomarkers of IS etiologies. The proteins encoded by the selected genes were measured in the sera of IS patients (n = 114) and in hypertensive patients with (n = 78) and without atrial fibrillation (AF) (n = 20). IGFBP-2, the most promising candidate, was studied using immunohistochemistry in the IS thrombi (n = 23) and atrium of AF patients (n = 13). In vitro, the IGFBP-2 blockade was analyzed using thromboelastometry and endothelial cell cultures. We identified 745 differentially expressed genes among EVs of cardioembolic, atherothrombotic, and ESUS groups. From these, IGFBP-2 (cutoff > 247.6 ng/mL) emerged as a potential circulating biomarker of embolic IS [OR = 8.70 (1.84-41.13) p = 0.003], which was increased in patients with AF vs. controls (p < 0.001) and was augmented in cardioembolic vs. atherothrombotic thrombi (p < 0.01). Ex vivo, the blockage of IGFBP-2 reduced clot firmness (p < 0.01) and lysis time (p < 0.001) and in vitro, diminished endothelial permeability (p < 0.05) and transmigration (p = 0.06). IGFBP-2 could be a biomarker of embolic IS and a new therapeutic target involved in clot formation and endothelial dysfunction.

Abstract
AIMS Cardiomyopathies (CMPs) are a heterogeneous group of diseases that are defined by structural and functional abnormalities of the cardiac muscle. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), the most common CMP, is defined by left ventricular dilation and impaired contractility and represents a common cause of heart failure. Different phenotypes result from various underlying genetic and acquired causes with variable effects on disease development and progression, prognosis, and response to medical treatment. Current treatment algorithms do not consider these different aetiologies, due to lack of insights into treatable drivers of cardiac failure in patients with DCM. Our study aims to precisely phenotype and genotype the various subtypes of DCM and hereby lay the foundation for individualized therapy. METHODS AND RESULTS The Geno- And Phenotyping of PrImary Cardiomyopathy (GrAPHIC) is a currently ongoing prospective observational monocentric cohort study that recruits patients with DCM after exclusion of other causes such as coronary artery disease, valvular dysfunction, myocarditis, exposure to toxins, and peripartum CMP. Patients are enrolled at our heart failure outpatient clinic or during hospitalization at the University Hospital Hamburg. Clinical parameters, multimodal imaging and functional assessment, cardiac biopsies, and blood samples are obtained to enable an integrated genomic, functional, and biomarker analysis. CONCLUSIONS The GrAPHIC will contribute to a better understanding of the heterogeneous nature of primary CMPs focusing on DCM and provide improved prognostic approaches and more individualized therapies.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-2 is a regulator of anabolic pathways, which become inactivated in severe illness. Here, we measured the serum IGFBP-2 levels of COVID-19 patients with moderate and severe disease as well as healthy controls to identify the associations of serum IGFBP-2 levels with disease severity. Patients with severe COVID-19 had higher serum IGFBP-2 levels than those with moderate disease and healthy controls, who had similar levels. Non-survivors of COVID-19 tended to have elevated serum IGFBP-2 levels compared to survivors. Increased serum IGFBP-2 levels were observed in patients requiring dialysis and vasopressor therapy. Serum IGFBP-2 was positively correlated with procalcitonin in both patient groups. Bacterial co-infection in severe COVID-19 patients did not influence serum IGFBP-2 levels. Patients with liver cirrhosis and obesity, showing increased and decreased serum IGFBP-2 levels, respectively, were excluded from the study. The present analysis showed that higher serum IGFBP-2 levels are associated with increased disease severity in COVID-19 patients. The similarity in serum IGFBP-2 levels between patients with moderate COVID-19 and healthy controls suggests that elevated IGFBP-2 is associated with critical illness rather than SARS-CoV-2 infection itself.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-2 regulates the bioactivity of the anabolic hormone's insulin-like growth factors, which are decreased in sepsis and contribute to the catabolic status of severely ill patients. The circulating levels of IGFBP-2 in critical illness have been rarely studied; therefore, we evaluated IGFBP-2 plasma levels in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or sepsis as well as healthy controls. Our analysis of 157 SIRS/sepsis patients revealed higher plasma IGFBP-2 levels compared to 22 healthy controls. Plasma IGFBP-2 levels correlated positively with procalcitonin but not with C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, or the leukocyte count. Septic shock patients exhibited higher IGFBP-2 levels than those with SIRS. Bacterial or SARS-CoV-2 infection did not influence plasma IGFBP-2 levels. There was no difference in the IGFBP-2 levels between ventilated and non-ventilated SIRS/sepsis patients, and vasopressor therapy did not alter these levels. Dialysis patients had elevated plasma IGFBP-2 levels. Survivors had lower plasma IGFBP-2 levels than non-survivors. In conclusion, our study indicates that plasma IGFBP-2 levels are associated with disease severity, renal failure, and mortality in SIRS/sepsis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND RNA modifications, especially N6-methyladenosine, N1-methyladenosine and 5-methylcytosine, play an important role in the progression of cardiovascular disease. However, its regulatory function in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains to be undefined. METHODS In the study, key RNA modification regulators (RMRs) were screened by three machine learning models. Subsequently, a risk prediction model for DCM was developed and validated based on these important genes, and the diagnostic efficiency of these genes was assessed. Meanwhile, the relevance of these genes to clinical traits was explored. In both animal models and human subjects, the gene with the strongest connection was confirmed. The expression patterns of important genes were investigated using single-cell analysis. RESULTS A total of 4 key RMRs were identified. The risk prediction models were constructed basing on these genes which showed a good accuracy and sensitivity in both the training and test set. Correlation analysis showed that insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) had the highest correlation with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (R = -0.49, P = 0.00039). Further validation expression level of IGFBP2 indicated that this gene was significantly upregulated in DCM animal models and patients, and correlation analysis validation showed a significant negative correlation between IGFBP2 and LVEF (R = -0.87; P = 6*10-5). Single-cell analysis revealed that this gene was mainly expressed in endothelial cells. CONCLUSION In conclusion, IGFBP2 is an important biomarker of left ventricular dysfunction in DCM. Future clinical applications could possibly use it as a possible therapeutic target.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surveillance programs in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are mainly based on imaging and leave room for improvement to timely identify patients at risk for AAA growth. Many biomarkers are dysregulated in patients with AAA, which fuels interest in biomarkers as indicators of disease progression. We examined associations of 92 cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related circulating biomarkers with AAA and sac volume. METHODS In a cross-sectional analysis, we separately investigated (1) 110 watchful waiting (WW) patients (undergoing periodic surveillance imaging without planned intervention) and (2) 203 patients after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). The Cardiovascular Panel III (Olink Proteomics AB, Sweden) was used to measure 92 CVD-related circulating biomarkers. We used cluster analyses to investigate protein-based subphenotypes, and linear regression to examine associations of biomarkers with AAA and sac volume on CT scans. RESULTS Cluster analyses revealed two biomarker-based subgroups in both WW and EVAR patients, with higher levels of 76 and 74 proteins, respectively, in one subgroup versus the other. In WW patients, uPA showed a borderline significant association with AAA volume. Adjusting for clinical characteristics, there was a difference of -0.092 (-0.148, -0.036) loge mL in AAA volume per SD uPA. In EVAR patients, after multivariable adjustment, four biomarkers remained significantly associated with sac volume. The mean effects on sac volume per SD difference were: LDLR: -0.128 (-0.212, -0.044), TFPI: 0.139 (0.049, 0.229), TIMP4: 0.110 (0.023, 0.197), IGFBP-2: 0.103 (0.012, 0.194). CONCLUSION LDLR, TFPI, TIMP4, and IGFBP-2 were independently associated with sac volume after EVAR. Subgroups of patients with high levels of the majority of CVD-related biomarkers emphasize the intertwined relationship between AAA and CVD.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03703947.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM The involvement of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2) following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is rarely studied in clinical practice. Therefore, we sought to evaluate the relationship between IGF-1 and IGFBP-2 concentrations at admission and risk stratification based on the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) risk score in patients with ACS. METHODS AND RESULTS In all, 304 patients diagnosed with ACS were included in this study. Plasma IGF-1 and IGFBP-2 were measured using commercially available ELISA kits. The TIMI risk score was calculated and the study population was stratified into high (n = 65), medium (n = 138), and low (n = 101) risk groups. Levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-2 were analyzed for their predictive ability of risk stratification based on the TIMI risk scores. Correlation analysis showed that IGF-1 levels were negatively correlated with TIMI risk levels (r = -0.144, p = 0.012), while IGFBP-2 levels were significantly and positively correlated with TIMI risk levels (r = 0.309, p < 0.001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, IGF-1 (odds ratio [OR]: 0.995; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.990-1.000; p = 0.043) and IGFBP-2 (OR: 1.002; 95%CI: 1.001-1.003; p < 0.001) were independent predictors of high TIMI risk levels. In receiver operating characteristic curves, the area under the curve values for IGF-1 and IGFBP-2 in the prediction of high TIMI risk levels were 0.605 and 0.723, respectively. CONCLUSIONS IGF-1 and IGFBP-2 levels are excellent biomarkers for risk stratification in patients with ACS, which provides further guidance for clinicians to identify patients at high risk and to lower their risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biomarkers might help to improve diagnosis, surveillance and risk stratification of thoracic aortic disease (TAD). We explored the association between a broad spectrum of cardiovascular biomarkers with clinical characteristics and thoracic aortic diameter in TAD patients. METHODS Venous blood-samples were obtained in 158 clinically stable TAD patients visiting our outpatient clinic (2017-2020). TAD was defined as a thoracic aortic diameter ≥ 40 mm, or genetic confirmation (hereditary TAD). The cardiovascular panel III of the Olink multiplex platform was used for batch analysis of 92 proteins. A comparison was made between biomarker levels in patients with and without previous aortic dissection and/or surgery, and with and without hereditary TAD. Linear regression analyses were applied to identify (relative, normalized) biomarker concentrations associated with the absolute thoracic aortic diameter (ADmax), and thoracic aortic diameter indexed for body surface area (IDmax). RESULTS Median age of study patients was 61.0 (IQR 50.3-68.8) years, 37.3% females. Mean ADmax and IDmax were 43.3 ± 5.4 mm and 21.3 ± 3.3 mm/m2. After multivariable adjustment, Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 (MMP-3) and Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) showed a significant positive association with ADmax and IDmax, respectively. Patients with previous aortic surgery/dissection had higher N-terminal-pro hormone BNP (NTproBNP) (median 3.67 [IQR 3.01-3.99] vs 2.84 [2.32-3.26], p ≤0.001). Patients with hereditary TAD had higher Trem-like transcript protein 2 (TLT-2) (median 4.64 [IQR 4.45-4.84]) than those with non-heriditary TAD (4.40 [4.17-4.64]; p = 0.00042). CONCLUSIONS Among a broad range of biomarkers, MMP-3 and IGFBP-2 were associated with disease severity in TAD patients. The pathophysiological pathways uncovered by these biomarkers, and their potential clinical use warrants further research.

Abstract
BackgroundWhile insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) exerts a cardioprotective effect in the setting of atherosclerosis, insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP-2) is involved in metabolic syndrome. Although IGF-1 and IGFBP-2 are known to be predictors for mortality in patients with heart failure, their use in clinic as prognostic biomarkers for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) requires investigation. We evaluated the relationship between IGF-1 and IGFBP-2 levels at admission and the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in patients with ACS.MethodsA total of 277 ACS patients and 42 healthy controls were included in this prospective cohort study. Plasma samples were obtained and analyzed at admission. Patients were followed for MACEs after hospitalization.ResultsAmong patients who suffered acute myocardial infarction, plasma levels of IGF-1 and IGFBP-2 were lower and higher, respectively, as compared to healthy controls (both p < 0.05). The mean follow-up period was 5.22 (1.0–6.0) months and MACEs incidence was 22.4% (62 of 277 patients). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with low IGFBP-2 levels had a greater event-free survival rate than patients with high IGFBP-2 levels (p < 0.001). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis revealed IGFBP-2, but not IGF-1, to be a positive predictor of MACEs (hazard ratio 2.412, 95% CI 1.360–4.277; p = 0.003).ConclusionOur findings suggest that high IGFBP-2 levels are associated with the development of MACEs following ACS. Moreover, IGFBP-2 is likely an independent predictive marker of clinical outcomes in ACS.

Abstract
Myocardial regenerative strategies are promising where the choice of ideal cell population is crucial for successful translational applications. Herein, we explored the regenerative/repair responses of infarct zone cardiac fibroblast(s) (CF) by unveiling their phenotype heterogeneity at single-cell resolution. CF were isolated from the infarct zone of Yucatan miniswine that suffered myocardial infarction, cultured under simulated ischemic and reperfusion, and grouped into control, ischemia, and ischemia/reperfusion. The single-cell RNA sequencing analysis revealed 19 unique cell clusters suggesting distinct subpopulations. The status of gene expression (log2 fold change (log2 FC) > 2 and log2 FC < -2) was used to define the characteristics of each cluster unveiling with diverse features, including the pro-survival/cardioprotective (Clusters 1, 3, 5, 9, and 18), vasculoprotective (Clusters 2 and 5), anti-inflammatory (Clusters 4 and 17), proliferative (Clusters 4 and 5), nonproliferative (Clusters 6, 8, 11, 16, 17, and 18), proinflammatory (Cluster 6), profibrotic/pathologic (Clusters 8 and 19), antihypertrophic (Clusters 8 and 10), extracellular matrix restorative (Clusters 9 and 12), angiogenic (Cluster 16), and normal (Clusters 7 and 15) phenotypes. Further understanding of these unique phenotypes of CF will provide significant translational opportunities for myocardial regeneration and cardiac management.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Data from the "Trattamento Ormonale nello Scompenso CArdiaco" (T.O.S.CA) registry showed that heart failure (HF) represents a complex clinical syndrome with different hormonal alterations. Renal failure represents a frequent complication in HF. We evaluated the relationship between renal function and insuline-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) deficiency and its impact on cardiovascular mortality (CVM) in patients enrolled in the T.O.S.CA. registry. METHODS At the enrolment, all subjects underwent chemistry examinations, including circulating hormones and cardiovascular functional tests. COX regression analysis was used to evaluate factors related to CVM during the follow-up period in all populations, in high-risk patients and in the young-adult population. Also, we evaluate the effects of renal function on the CVM. RESULTS 337 patients (41 deceased) were analyzed. CVM was related to severe renal dysfunction (HR stages IV-V = 4.86), high-risk conditions (HR 2.25), serum IGF-1 (HR 0.42), and HF etiology (HR 5.85 and HR 1.63 for valvular and ischemic etiology, respectively). In high-risk patients, CVM was related to IGF-1 levels, severe renal dysfunction and valvular etiology, whereas in young patients CMV was related to the high-risk pattern and serum IGF-1 levels. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed the clinical and prognostic utility of the IGF-1 assay in patients with HF.

Abstract
As a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, cardiovascular disease and its diagnosis, quantification, and stratification remain significant health issues. Increasingly, patients present with cardiovascular disease in the absence of known risk factors, suggesting the presence of yet unrecognized pathological processes and disease predispositions. Fortunately, a host of emerging cardiovascular biomarkers characterizing and quantifying ischaemic heart disease have shown great promise in both laboratory settings and clinical trials. These have demonstrated improved predictive value additional to widely accepted biomarkers as well as providing insight into molecular phenotypes beneath the broad umbrella of cardiovascular disease that may allow for further personalized treatment regimens. However, the process of translation into clinical practice – particularly navigating the legal and commercial landscape – poses a number of challenges. Practical and legal barriers to the biomarker translational pipeline must be further considered to develop strategies to bring novel biomarkers into the clinical sphere and apply these advances at the patient bedside. Here we review the progress of emerging biomarkers in the cardiovascular space, with particular focus on those relevant to the unmet needs in ischaemic heart disease.

[PMID: 35683362 PMCID: PMC9180967 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11112974] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2022] [Revised: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is clinically indistinguishable from an ACS. Despite the implementation of clinical scoring systems and novel biomarkers, coronary angiography currently remains necessary for differential diagnosis. Methods: 93 patients with chest pain and the suspicion of TTS were enrolled in two study centers. Fetuin-A, IGFBP-2, Galectin-3, and TNF α were determined in serum samples, collected within 24 h after the onset of symptoms. Serum levels of biomarkers were analyzed for the differential diagnostic value between TTS and ACS. Results: Compared to TTS, patients with ACS had significantly lower serum levels of Fetuin-A and IGFBP-2. The cut-off value of Fetuin-A for the identification of TTS compared to ACS was 55.74 μg/mL (sensitivity: 100.0%, specificity: 82.6%, PPV: 63.2%, NPV: 100.0%). An optimal cut-off value for IGFBP-2 for the differential diagnosis between TTS and ACS was determined as 171.77 ng/mL (sensitivity: 76.0%, specificity: 82.6%, PPV: 76.4%, NPV 72.7%). Conclusion: Fetuin-A and IGFBP-2 might facilitate the triage between TTS and ACS and could be therefore of great benefit for the guidance of treatment.

Identification and Comparison of Potential Biomarkers by Proteomic Analysis in Traditional Chinese Medicine-Based Heart Failure Syndromes.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is an epidemic disease affecting a large population worldwide. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is playing an increasingly important role in the clinical treatment of HF. According to the TCM theory, HF could be classified into Yang deficiency and Qi-yin deficiency; however, there are few objective and biological lines of evidence for differentiation of TCM HF syndromes to date. In this study, data-independent acquisition (DIA) mass spectrometry was applied to comparatively analyze the protein expression in serum samples obtained from 12 Yang deficiency patients, 12 Qi-yin deficiency patients, and 12 healthy volunteers. Compared to the healthy controls, a total of 121 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) (77 upregulated and 44 downregulated proteins) were identified in Yang deficiency samples, while 59 DEPs (49 upregulated and 10 downregulated proteins) were detected in Qi-yin deficiency samples. Enrichment analyses of these DEPs based on the GO and KEGG databases revealed functional clusters associated with the immune system, signal transduction, and infectious disease. Several previously reported HF biomarker proteins were found to be the hub proteins in a protein-protein interaction network analysis. Three novel hub DEPs were identified as potential biomarkers for differentiation between different TCM syndromes of HF. The results provide biological insight into the differences of different TCM HF syndromes and an opportunity for specific biomarker identification for different TCM HF syndromes.

Abstract
AIMS Elevated concentrations of Growth Differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15) in patients with heart failure (HF) have been consistently associated with worse clinical outcomes, but what disease mechanisms high GDF-15 concentrations represent remains unclear. Here, we aim to identify activated pathophysiological pathways related to elevated GDF-15 expression in patients with HF. METHODS AND RESULTS In 2279 patients with HF, we measured circulating levels of 363 biomarkers. Then, we performed a pathway over-representation analysis to identify key biological pathways between patients in the highest and lowest GDF-15 concentration quartiles. Data were validated in an independent cohort of 1705 patients with HF. In both cohorts, the strongest up-regulated biomarkers in those with high GDF-15 were fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), death receptor 5 (TRAIL-R2), WNT1-inducible-signaling pathway protein 1 (WISP-1), TNF Receptor Superfamily Member 11a (TNFRSF11A), leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 4 (LILRB4), and Trefoil Factor 3 (TFF3). Pathway over-representation analysis revealed that high GDF-15 patients had increased activity of pathways related to inflammatory processes, notably positive regulation of chemokine production; response to interleukin 6 (IL-6); tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and death receptor activity; and positive regulation of T cell differentiation and inflammatory response. Furthermore, we found pathways involved in regulation of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) receptor signalling and regulatory pathways of tissue, bones, and branching structures. GDF-15 quartiles significantly predicted all-cause mortality and HF hospitalization. CONCLUSION Patients with HF and high plasma concentrations of GDF-15 are characterized by increased activation of inflammatory pathways and pathways related to IGF-1 regulation and bone/tissue remodelling.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The insulin like growth factor (IGF) axis emerged as an important pathway in heart failure with preserved ejection (HFpEF). We aimed to identify IGF phenotypes associated with HFpEF in the context high-dimensional proteomic profiling. METHODS From the Intermountain INSPIRE Registry, we identified 96 patients with HFpEF and matched controls. We performed targeted proteomics including IGF-1,2, IGF binding proteins (IGFBP) 1-7 and 111 other proteins (EMD Millipore and ELISA). We used partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to identify a set of proteins associated with prevalent HFpEF, pulmonary hypertension (PH) and 5-year-all-cause mortality. K-mean clustering was used to identify IGF phenotypes. RESULTS Patients with HFpEF had a high prevalence of systemic hypertension (95%) and coronary artery disease (74%). Using PLS-DA, we identified a set of biomarkers including IGF1,2 and IGFBP-1,2,7 that provided a strong discrimination of HFPEF, PH and mortality with an AUC of 0.91, 0.77 and 0.83, respectively. Using K mean clustering, we identified three IGF phenotypes that were independently associated with all-cause 5-year mortality after adjustment for age, NT-proBNP and kidney disease (p=0.004). Multivariable analysis validated the prognostic value of IGFBP-1 and 2 in the CATHGEN biorepository. CONCLUSION IGF phenotypes were associated with PH and mortality in HFpEF.

Lactate Dehydrogenase B and Pyruvate Oxidation Pathway Associated With Carfilzomib-Related Cardiotoxicity in Multiple Myeloma Patients: Result of a Multi-Omics Integrative Analysis. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:645122. [PMID: 33996940 PMCID: PMC8116486 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.645122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2020] [Accepted: 03/02/2021] [Indexed: 01/20/2023] Open
Abstract
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most frequent hematologic cancer in the United States. Carfilzomib (CFZ), an irreversible proteasome inhibitor being used to treat relapsed and refractory MM, has been associated with cardiotoxicity, including heart failure. We hypothesized that a multi-omics approach integrating data from different omics would provide insights into the mechanisms of CFZ-related cardiovascular adverse events (CVAEs). Plasma samples were collected from 13 MM patients treated with CFZ (including 7 with CVAEs and 6 with no CVAEs) at the University of Florida Health Cancer Center. These samples were evaluated in global metabolomic profiling, global proteomic profiling, and microRNA (miRNA) profiling. Integrative pathway analysis was performed to identify genes and pathways differentially expressed between patients with and without CVAEs. The proteomics analysis identified the up-regulation of lactate dehydrogenase B (LDHB) [fold change (FC) = 8.2, p = 0.01] in patients who experienced CVAEs. The metabolomics analysis identified lower plasma abundance of pyruvate (FC = 0.16, p = 0.0004) and higher abundance of lactate (FC = 2.4, p = 0.0001) in patients with CVAEs. Differential expression analysis of miRNAs profiling identified mir-146b to be up-regulatein (FC = 14, p = 0.046) in patients with CVAE. Pathway analysis suggested that the pyruvate fermentation to lactate pathway is associated with CFZ-CVAEs. In this pilot multi-omics integrative analysis, we observed the down-regulation of pyruvate and up-regulation of LDHB among patients who experienced CVAEs, suggesting the importance of the pyruvate oxidation pathway associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Validation and further investigation in a larger independent cohort are warranted to better understand the mechanisms of CFZ-CVAEs.

Abstract
Patients with primary mitral regurgitation (MR) may remain asymptomatic for many years. For unknown reasons, some shift from a compensated to a decompensated state and progress to fatal heart failure. To elucidate the genetic determinants of this process, we recruited 28 patients who underwent mitral valve surgery and stratified them into control, compensated MR, and decompensated MR groups. Tissue biopsies were obtained from the patients’ left ventricular (LV) lateral wall for a transcriptome-wide profiling of 64,769 probes to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Using cutoff values at the 1% FDR significance level and sex- and age-adjusted regression models, we identified 12 significant DEGs (CTGF, MAP1B, SERPINE1, MYH9, MICAL2, MYO1D, CRY1, AQP7P3, HTRA1, PRSS23, IGFBP2, and FN1). The most significant gene was CTGF (adjusted R2 = 0.74, p = 1.80 × 10−8). We found that the majority of genes expressed in the more advanced decompensated MR group were pro-fibrotic genes associated with cardiac fibrosis. In particular, six pro-fibrotic genes (CTGF, SERPINE1, MYH9, HTRA1, PRSS23, and FN1) were overexpressed and enriched in pathways involved in ECM (extracellular matrix) protein remodeling. Therapeutic interventions that antagonize these six genes may slow the progression toward decompensated MR.
