Association between the atherogenic index of plasma and coronary collateral circulation in patients with chronic total occlusion. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2024; 24:360. [PMID: 39009987 PMCID: PMC11251254 DOI: 10.1186/s12872-024-03992-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2024] [Indexed: 07/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is considered an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). The present study investigated whether AIP correlates with the formation of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in CAD patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO). METHODS This retrospective study included 1093 CAD patients with CTO confirmed by coronary angiography from January 2020 to December 2020 at Beijing Anzhen Hospital. Based on the Rentrop scoring system, the patients were divided into the good CCC group and the poor CCC group. AIP was calculated by log (triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). Meanwhile, the study population was further divided into four groups according to the quartiles of AIP. RESULTS Patients in the poor CCC group exhibited significantly higher AIP compared to those in the good CCC group (0.31 ± 0.27 vs. 0.14 ± 0.24, p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed an independent association between AIP and poor CCC, regardless of whether AIP was treated as a continuous or categorical variable (p < 0.001), after adjusting for confounding factors. Besides, this association remained consistent across most subgroups. The incorporation of AIP into the baseline model significantly enhanced the accuracy of identifying poor CCC [area under the curve (AUC): baseline model, 0.661 vs. baseline model + AIP, 0.721, p for comparison < 0.001]. CONCLUSIONS Elevated AIP is independently associated with an increased risk of poor CCC in CAD patients with CTO, and AIP may improve the ability to identify poor CCC in clinical practice.

Abstract
Both hypoxia and the complement lectin pathway (CLP) are involved in atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis-related stroke and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We have previously shown that mannose-binding lectin-associated serine protease-1 (MASP-1), the most abundant enzyme of CLP, induces an inflammatory phenotype of endothelial cells (ECs) by cleaving protease activated receptors (PARs). In the absence of data, we aimed to investigate whether hypoxia and MASP-1 interact at the level of ECs, to better understand their role in atherosclerosis-related diseases. Hypoxia attenuated the wound healing ability of ECs, increased ICAM-1 and decreased ICAM-2 expression and upregulated PAR2 gene expression. Hypoxia and MASP-1 increased GROα and IL-8 production, and endothelial permeability without potentiating each other's effects, whereas they cooperatively disrupted vascular network integrity, activated the Ca2+, CREB and NFκB signaling pathways, and upregulated the expression of E-selectin, a crucial adhesion molecule in neutrophil homing. VCAM-1 expression was not influenced either by hypoxia, or by MASP-1. In summary, hypoxia potentiates the effect of MASP-1 on ECs, at least partially by increasing PAR expression, resulting in interaction at several levels, which may altogether exacerbate stroke and AMI progression. Our findings suggest that MASP-1 is a potential drug target in the acute phase of atherosclerosis-related diseases.

Abstract
In this study, the correlation between pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) and coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in patients with chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) was analyzed. The study included 663 patients with CCS who underwent coronary angiography and had coronary stenosis of ≥95% in at least one major coronary vessel. The participants were divided into two groups: good CCC (Rentrop score 2-3) and poor CCC (Rentrop score 0-1). PIV score was calculated as monocyte x platelet x neutrophil/lymphocyte count. When the patient groups who developed good and poor CCC were compared, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P < .001), C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, CRP/albumin ratio (CAR) (P < .001), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) (P < .001), and PIV (P < .001) were higher in patients with poor CCC. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, age, SII, NLR, CRP, CAR, and PIV were found to be independent predictors of poor CCC (P < .001, for all). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis demonstrated that a cut-off value of 442.2 for PIV predicted poor CCC slightly better compared to other markers, with 76.8% sensitivity and 70.1% specificity (area under ROC curve = 0.808 (95% CI: 0.764-0.851), P < .001). These findings suggest that PIV can be used as an independent predictor of CCC development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary collateral circulation is a common finding in patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs) resulting from chronic coronary artery disease (CAD). Regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) on transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) can be used for the diagnosis of CAD. However, little work has been done to investigate the impact of collateral vessels on the diagnostic accuracy of resting TTE for CAD. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of adults who received a resting TTE and cardiac catheterization within 30 days over a 4-year period at the Temple Baylor Scott & White echocardiography laboratory. Exclusion criteria included catheterization without coronary angiography and prior history of CAD, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). We analyzed RWMA on TTE in patients with CAD and coronary collateral circulation on cardiac catheterization to assess for correlation. RESULTS Of the 753 patients were included in this study, 453 had CAD, 272 had both CAD and RWMA, 111 had collateral circulation, and 73 had collateral circulation and RWMA. There was no significant difference in RWMA in patients with CAD with and without collateral circulation. There was no significant difference in the sensitivity (60.0 % vs 59.2 %) and specificity (78.4 % vs 73.9 %) after collateral-adjusted interpretation of RWMA and CAD (p = 0.3). DISCUSSION Our results suggest the average coronary collateral system is of insufficient clinical significance to prevent the development of RWMA on resting TTE.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary collateral circulation (CCC) can effectively improve myocardial blood supply to the area of CTO (chronic total coronary occlusion) and can, thus, improve the prognosis of patients with stable coronary syndrome (SCS). The degree of inflammation and some inflammation markers were associated with the development of collaterals. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether prognostic nutritional index (PNI) has an association with the development of CCC in patients with SCS. METHODS A total of 400 SCS patients with the presence of CTO in at least one major epicardial coronary artery were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups according to the Rentrop score. Scores of 0 to 1 were considered poor developed CCC, and scores of 2 to 3 were accepted as good developed CCC. Statistical significance was set as a p-value < 0.05 for all analyses. RESULTS The mean age of the study cohort was 63±10 years; 273 (68.3%) were males. The poor-developed CCC group had a significantly lower PNI level compared with the good-developed CCC group (38.29±5.58 vs 41.23±3.85, p< 0.001). In the multivariate analysis, the PNI (odds ratio 0.870; 95% confidence interval 0.822-0.922; p< 0.001) was an independent predictor of poorly developed CCC. CONCLUSION The PNI can be used as one of the independent predictors of CCC formation. It was positively associated with the development of coronary collaterals in SCS patients with CTO.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemic heart disease are the leading causes of heart failure and mortality. Currently, research on MI treatment is focused on angiogenic and anti-inflammatory therapies. Although endothelial cells (ECs) are critical for triggering inflammation and angiogenesis, no approach has targeted them for the treatment of MI. In this study, we proposed a nonviral combined nucleic acid delivery system consisting of an EC-specific polycation (CRPPR-grafted ethanolamine-modified poly(glycidyl methacrylate), CPC) that can efficiently codeliver siR-ICAM1 and pCXCL12 for the treatment of MI. Animals treated with the combination therapy exhibited better cardiac function than those treated with each nucleic acid alone. In particular, the combination therapy of CPC/siR-ICAM1 and CPC/pCXCL12 significantly improved cardiac systolic function, anti-inflammatory responses, and angiogenesis compared to the control group. In conclusion, CPC-based combined gene delivery systems show impressive performance in the treatment of MI and provide a programmed strategy for the development of codelivery systems for various EC-related diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired collateral formation is a major factor contributing to poor prognosis in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. However, the current pharmacological treatments for improving collateral formation remain unsatisfactory. The induction of endothelial autophagy and the elimination of reactive oxygen species (ROS) represent potential therapeutic targets for enhancing endothelial angiogenesis and facilitating collateral formation. This study investigates the potential of molybdenum disulfide nanodots (MoS2 NDs) for enhancing collateral formation and improving prognosis. RESULTS Our study shows that MoS2 NDs significantly enhance collateral formation in ischemic tissues of diabetic mice, improving effective blood resupply. Additionally, MoS2 NDs boost the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of endothelial cells under high glucose/hypoxia conditions in vitro. Mechanistically, the beneficial effects of MoS2 NDs on collateral formation not only depend on their known scavenging properties of ROS (H2O2, •O2-, and •OH) but also primarily involve a molecular pathway, cAMP/PKA-NR4A2, which promotes autophagy and contributes to mitigating damage in diabetic endothelial cells. CONCLUSIONS Overall, this study investigated the specific mechanism by which MoS2 NDs mediated autophagy activation and highlighted the synergy between autophagy activation and antioxidation, thus suggesting that an economic and biocompatible nano-agent with dual therapeutic functions is highly preferable for promoting collateral formation in a diabetic context, thus, highlighting their therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Permanent fibrosis and chronic deterioration of heart function in patients after myocardial infarction present a major health-care burden worldwide. In contrast to the restricted potential for cellular and functional regeneration of the adult mammalian heart, a robust capacity for cardiac regeneration is seen during the neonatal period in mammals as well as in the adults of many fish and amphibian species. However, we lack a complete understanding as to why cardiac regeneration takes place more efficiently in some species than in others. The capacity of the heart to regenerate after injury is controlled by a complex network of cellular and molecular mechanisms that form a regulatory landscape, either permitting or restricting regeneration. In this Review, we provide an overview of the diverse array of vertebrates that have been studied for their cardiac regenerative potential and discuss differential heart regeneration outcomes in closely related species. Additionally, we summarize current knowledge about the core mechanisms that regulate cardiac regeneration across vertebrate species.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI), an acute cardiovascular disease characterized by coronary artery blockage, inadequate blood supply, and subsequent ischemic necrosis of the myocardium, is one of the leading causes of death. The cellular, physiological, and pathological responses following MI are complex, involving multiple intertwined pathological mechanisms. Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), a crucial regulator of hypoxia, plays a significant role in of the development of MI by modulating the behavior of various cells such as cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts under hypoxic conditions. HIF-1 regulates various post-MI adaptive reactions to acute ischemia and hypoxia through various mechanisms. These mechanisms include angiogenesis, energy metabolism, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and ventricular remodeling. With its crucial role in MI, HIF-1 is expected to significantly influence the treatment of MI. However, the drugs available for the treatment of MI targeting HIF-1 are currently limited, and most contain natural compounds. The development of precision-targeted drugs modulating HIF-1 has therapeutic potential for advancing MI treatment research and development. This study aimed to summarize the regulatory role of HIF-1 in the pathological responses of various cells following MI, the diverse mechanisms of action of HIF-1 in MI, and the potential drugs targeting HIF-1 for treating MI, thus providing the theoretical foundations for potential clinical therapeutic targets.

Correlation between triglyceride glucose index and collateral circulation formation in patients with chronic total occlusion of coronary arteries in different glucose metabolic states. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2024; 23:26. [PMID: 38218859 PMCID: PMC10787450 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-02080-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND To investigate the correlation between triglyceride glucose index (TyG) and collateral circulation in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) of coronary arteries in different glucose metabolic states. METHODS A total of 681 patients who underwent coronary angiography between January 2020 and December 2021 to determine the presence of CTO lesions in at least one major coronary artery were retrospectively included in this study. Patients were categorized into a group with poor collateral circulation formation (Rentrop grade 0-1, n = 205) and a group with good collateral circulation formation (Rentrop grade 2-3, n = 476) according to the Rentrop scale. They were also categorized according to their glucose metabolism status: normal glucose regulation (NGR) (n = 139), prediabetes mellitus (Pre-DM) (n = 218), and diabetes mellitus (DM) (n = 324). Correlation between TyG index and collateral circulation formation was analyzed by logistic regression analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. RESULTS Among patients with CTO, TyG index was significantly higher in the group with poor collateral circulation formation than in the group with good collateral circulation formation. Logistic regression analysis showed that TyG index was an independent risk factor for poor collateral circulation formation (OR 5.104, 95% CI 3.323-7.839, P < 0.001). The accuracy of TyG index in predicting collateral circulation formation was evaluated by the ROC curve, which had an area under the curve of 0.779 (95% CI 0.738-0.820, P < 0.001). The restrictive cubic spline curves showed that the risk of poor collateral circulation formation in the Pre-DM and DM groups was initially flat and finally increased rapidly, except for the NGR group. TyG index was significantly associated with an increased risk of poor collateral circulation formation in the Pre-DM and DM groups. CONCLUSIONS TyG index was significantly associated with the risk of poor collateral circulation formation in patients with CTO, especially those with Pre-DM and DM.

Abstract
Coronary angiography is a common procedure performed by the cardiologist to evaluate coronary atherosclerotic disease (CAD) and the result is utilized by both cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to perform catheter and surgical interventions on the coronary artery. In addition to evaluating CAD, other useful investigative modalities such as left ventriculography and aortography can be performed at the time of coronary angiography. Despite its limitations and the emergence of newer investigative modalities like coronary computed tomography angiography, intravascular ultrasound scan, and magnetic resonance coronary angiography, conventional coronary angiography has remained the gold standard for the evaluation of coronary artery disease. Hence, it remains an investigative modality that every member of the cardiothoracic team performing coronary artery bypass grafting must learn how to interpret.

Association of Coronary Collaterals and Myocardial Salvage Measured by Serial Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging after Acute Myocardial Infarction. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2023; 10:473. [PMID: 38132641 PMCID: PMC10743778 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd10120473] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 11/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Coronary collateral flow in angiography has been linked with lower mortality rates in patients with coronary artery disease. However, the relevance of the underlying mechanism is sparse. Therefore, we tested the hypothesis that in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), relevant coronary collateral flow is associated with more salvaged myocardium and lower risk of developing heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients with first AMI who received a percutaneous coronary intervention within 24 h after symptom onset were classified visually by assigning a Cohen-Rentrop Score (CRS) ranging between 0 (no collaterals) and 3 (complete retrograde filling of the occluded vessel). All 36 patients included in the analysis underwent cardiac magnetic resonance examination within 3 to 5 days after myocardial infarction and after 12 weeks. Patients with relevant collateral flow (CRS 2-3) to the infarct-related artery had significantly smaller final infarct size compared to those without (7 ± 4% vs. 20 ± 12%, p < 0.001). In addition, both groups showed improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction early after AMI, whereas the recovery was greater in CRS 2-3 (+8 ± 5% vs. +3 ± 5%, p = 0.015). CONCLUSION In patients with first AMI, relevant collateral flow to the infarct-related artery was associated with more salvaged myocardium at 12 weeks, translating into greater improvement of systolic left ventricular function. The protective effect of coronary collaterals and the variance of infarct location should be further investigated in larger studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Early identification of patients at risk of AKI after cardiac surgery is of critical importance for optimizing perioperative management and improving outcomes. This study aimed to identify the association between preoperative myoglobin levels and postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing valve surgery or coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS This retrospective study included 293 patients aged over 17 years who underwent valve surgery or CABG with cardiopulmonary bypass. We excluded 87 patients as they met the exclusion criteria. Therefore, 206 patients were included in the final analysis. The patients... demographics as well as intraoperative and postoperative data were collected from electronic medical records. AKI was defined according to the Acute Kidney Injury Network classification system. RESULTS Of the 206 patients included in this study, 77 developed AKI. The patients who developed AKI were older, had a history of hypertension, underwent valve surgery with concomitant CABG, had lower preoperative hemoglobin levels, and experienced prolonged extracorporeal circulation (ECC) times. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that preoperative myoglobin levels and ECC time were correlated with the development of AKI. A higher preoperative myoglobin level was an independent risk factor for the development of cardiac surgery-associated AKI. CONCLUSIONS Higher preoperative myoglobin levels may enable physicians to identify patients at risk of developing AKI and optimize management accordingly.

Abstract
Our aim was to investigate the relationship between thiol, which is the main component of the antioxidant system, and coronary collateral circulation (CCC). Our patients consisted of people with stable coronary artery disease (sCAD) and total occlusion in at least one vessel (n = 249). We divided the patients into two groups, good and poor, according to their CCC degree. We determined that DM, total thiol, and disulfide are independent predictors of poor CCC in multivariate logistic regression analysis (OR: 1.012, 95% CI: 1.008-1.017, p < 0.001; OR: 1.022, 95% CI: 1.000-1.044, p = 0.044; OR: 2.671, 95% CI: 1.238-5.761, p = 0.012, respectively). The ROC analysis showed a cut-off value of 328.7 for native thiol regarding the prediction of poor CCC, with 67.4% specificity and 78% sensitivity. For disulfide, it revealed a cut-off value of 15.1 regarding the prediction of poor CCC, with 57.9% specificity and 69.5% sensitivity. In this study, we detected that the patients with sCAD who developed poor CCC had lower levels of native thiol, total thiol, and disulfide compared to those with good CCC. The most interesting finding of our study is that CCC formation is an effective predictor of the antioxidant cascade rather than the inflammation cascade in sCAD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Uric acid/Albumin ratio (UAR) has recently been identified as a prominent marker in cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we aimed to reveal the effect of UAR on coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) patients by comparing it with conventional inflammation-based markers. METHODS In this study, 415 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography for stable angina pectoris and were found to have chronic total occlusion in at least one coronary artery were retrospectively included. The study population was divided into two groups as good CCC (Rentrop 2-3) and poor CCC (Rentrop 0-1) according to the Rentrop classification, and the groups were compared in terms of UAR and other traditional inflammation-based markers. RESULTS In the poor CCC group, C-reactive protein/albumin ratio (CAR), monocyte/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and UAR were found to be significantly high (p < .05, for all). UAR negatively correlated with rentrop classification (r = -0.383, p < .001). In multivariate regression analysis, MHR, NLR, SII and UAR were determined as independent predictors for poor CCC (p < .05, for all). The ability of UAR to predict poor CCC was superior to uric acid and albumin alone (p < .0001, for both). In addition, UAR was found to be superior to other inflammation-based markers in predicting poor CCC (p < .005, for all). CONCLUSION UAR was identified as a strong and independent predictor of CCC. In this context, UAR may be a useful biomarker in the risk prediction of patients with stable CAD.

Impact of residual angina on long-term clinical outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft for complex coronary artery disease. EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. QUALITY OF CARE & CLINICAL OUTCOMES 2023; 9:490-501.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the impact on 10-year survival of patient-reported anginal status at 1 year following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) in patients with left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD) and/or three-vessel CAD (3VD). METHODS AND RESULTS In this post hoc analysis of the randomized SYNTAX Extended Survival study, patients were classified as having residual angina (RA) if their self-reported Seattle Angina Questionnaire angina frequency (SAQ-AF) scale was ≤90 at the 1-year follow-up post-revascularization with PCI or CABG. The primary endpoint of all-cause death at 10 years was compared between the RA and no-RA groups. A sensitivity analysis was performed using a 6-month SAQ-AF.At 1 year, 373 (26.1%) out of 1428 patients reported RA. Whilst RA at 1 year was an independent correlate of repeat revascularization at 5 years [18.3 vs. 11.5%; adjusted hazard ratio (HR): 1.54; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.10-2.15], it was not associated with all-cause death at 10 years (22.1 vs. 21.6%; adjusted HR: 1.11; 95% CI: 0.83-1.47). These results were consistent when stratified by the modality of revascularization (PCI or CABG) or by anginal frequency. The sensitivity analysis replicating the analyses based on 6-month angina status resulted in similar findings. CONCLUSION Among patients with LMCAD and/or 3VD, patient-reported RA at 1 year post-revascularization was independently associated with repeat revascularization at 5 years; however, it did not significantly increase 10-year mortality, irrespective of the primary modality of revascularization or severity of RA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Collateral arteries act as natural bypasses which reroute blood flow to ischemic regions and facilitate tissue regeneration. In an injured heart, neonatal artery endothelial cells orchestrate a systematic series of cellular events, which includes their outward migration, proliferation, and coalescence into fully functional collateral arteries. This process, called artery reassembly, aids complete cardiac regeneration in neonatal hearts but is absent in adults. The reason for this age-dependent disparity in artery cell response is completely unknown. In this study, we investigated if regenerative potential of coronary arteries is dictated by their ability to dedifferentiate. METHODS Single-cell RNA sequencing of coronary endothelial cells was performed to identify differences in molecular profiles of neonatal and adult endothelial cells in mice. Findings from this in silico analyses were confirmed with in vivo experiments using genetic lineage tracing, whole organ immunostaining, confocal imaging, and cardiac functional assays in mice. RESULTS Upon coronary occlusion, neonates showed a significant increase in actively cycling artery cells and expressed prominent dedifferentiation markers. Data from in silico pathway analyses and in vivo experiments suggested that upon myocardial infarction, cell cycle reentry of preexisting neonatal artery cells, the subsequent collateral artery formation, and recovery of cardiac function are dependent on arterial VegfR2 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2). This subpopulation of dedifferentiated and proliferating artery cells was absent in nonregenerative postnatal day 7 or adult hearts. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that adult artery endothelial cells fail to drive collateral artery development due to their limited ability to dedifferentiate and proliferate.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become a severe threat to human health, with morbidity and mortality increasing yearly and gradually becoming younger. When the disease progresses to the middle and late stages, the loss of a large number of cardiomyocytes is irreparable to the body itself, and clinical drug therapy and mechanical support therapy cannot reverse the development of the disease. To explore the source of regenerated myocardium in model animals with the ability of heart regeneration through lineage tracing and other methods, and develop a new alternative therapy for CVDs, namely cell therapy. It directly compensates for cardiomyocyte proliferation through adult stem cell differentiation or cell reprogramming, which indirectly promotes cardiomyocyte proliferation through non-cardiomyocyte paracrine, to play a role in heart repair and regeneration. This review comprehensively summarizes the origin of newly generated cardiomyocytes, the research progress of cardiac regeneration based on cell therapy, the opportunity and development of cardiac regeneration in the context of bioengineering, and the clinical application of cell therapy in ischemic diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated the relationship between coronary collateral circulation (CCC) and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary collateral circulation plays a critical role in supporting blood flow, particularly in the ischemic myocardium. Previous studies show that non-HDL-C plays a more important role in the formation and progression of atherosclerosis than do standard lipid parameters. METHODS A total of 226 patients with stable CAD and stenosis of more than 95% in at least 1 epicardial coronary artery were included in the study. Rentrop classification was used to assign patients into group 1 (n = 85; poor collateral) or 2 (n = 141; good collateral). To adjust for the observed imbalance in baseline covariates between study groups, propensity-score matching was used. Covariates were diabetes, Gensini score, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor use. RESULTS In the propensity-matched population, the plasma non-HDL-C level (mean [SD], 177.86 [44.0] mg/dL vs 155.6 [46.21] mg/dL; P = .001) was statistically higher in the poor-collateral group. LDL-C (odds ratio [OR], 1.23; 95% CI, 1.11-1.30; P = .01), non-HDL-C (OR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.20-1.51; P = .01), C-reactive protein (OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.11-1.32; P = .03), systemic immune-inflammation index (OR, 1.14; 95% CI, 1.05-1.21; P = .01), and C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.06-1.17; P = .01) remained independent predictors of CCC in multivariate logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION Non-HDL-C was an independent risk factor for developing poor CCC in stable CAD.

Coronary Collateral Circulation: A New Predictor of Mortality in Heart Transplant Recipients With Allograft Vasculopathy. Transplant Direct 2023; 9:e1470. [PMID: 37090121 PMCID: PMC10118324 DOI: 10.1097/txd.0000000000001470] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 01/23/2023] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 04/25/2023] Open
Abstract
Coronary collateral arteries (CCAs) are anastomotic channels between vessels; although beneficial in atherosclerosis, their role in heart transplantation (HT) recipients is underinvestigated. CCAs initially develop as microcirculation and cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), promoting immune-dependent proliferative angiogenic response, and play a role in their development. In our hypothesis, ischemia induced by coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) triggers the development of CCAs, which are, in turn, less functional as affected by CAV themselves. Methods One hundred twenty-one patients receiving HT at our institution were retrospectively evaluated and were included if transthoracic echocardiography with coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) assessment and coronary angiography were performed. CMD was defined as CFVR of ≤2.5. Patients with CAV were enrolled, and their angiograms were reviewed to evaluate the presence of CCAs. Cardiovascular mortality was assessed as the main clinical outcome. Results Forty patients were found to have CCAs. Patients with CCAs have lower CFVR than those without CCAs (2.22 ± 0.72 versus 2.69 ± 0.92;P = 0.003), reflecting in different rates of CMD in the 2 groups (72.5% versus 37%; P < 0.001). CMD is associated with higher CAV grades (P < 0.001), which are also associated with CCAs (P < 0.001). Patients with poorly developed CCAs have lower CFVR (P < 0.001). At multivariable analysis, CMD (P = 0.008) and higher CAV grades (P = 0.005) are independent predictors of CCAs. During the median follow-up time of 10.2 (6.6-13.3) y, patients with CCAs have been found to have higher mortality than those without CCAs (57.5% versus 32.1%; P = 0.007). CCAs are associated with a lower probability of survival also in patients with CMD (P < 0.001) and are independent predictors of mortality (P < 0.001). Conclusions Our results demonstrate an interplay between CAV, CMD, and CCAs. We confirm that CAV is associated with CMD, and we show, for the first time, that CMD is associated with CCAs. CCAs are pathophysiologically associated with more severe graft vasculopathy and independently predict mortality after HT.

Abstract
Background This study aims to examine the relationship between the development of coronary collateral circulation and serum elabela levels. Methods Between January 2020 and December 2021, a total of 50 control individuals (29 males, 21 females; mean age: 63.2±10.0 years; range, 52 to 73 years) with no significant coronary artery disease as confirmed by angiography (Group 1) and 100 patients (55 males, 45 females; mean age: 66.6±9.6 years; range, 56 to 75 years) with coronary artery disease were included. The patients were further divided into two equal groups according to the Rentrop classification as poor (Group 2) and good coronary collateral circulation (Group 3). All groups were compared in terms of several parameters, particularly serum elabela levels. Results Serum elabela levels were found to be statistically higher in the group with good collateral than the other groups (p<0.05). Low serum elabela levels increased the risk of developing weak collaterals by 2.43 times. Conclusion The elabela protein is directly related to good collateral development and can be considered a potential agent for treatment.

Abstract
Introduction: Coronary collateral circulation (CCC) develops in chronic total occluded (CTO) vessels and protects the myocardium against ischemia in addition to the improvement of cardiac functions. Poor CCC is related to adverse cardiac events as well as poor prognosis. Serum uric acid/albumin ratio (UAR) has emerged as a novel marker associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. We aimed to investigate whether there was an association between UAR and poor CCC in CTO patients. Methods: This study was comprised of 212 patients with CTO (92 with poor CCC and 120 with good CCC). All patients were graded based on Rentrop scores to poor CCC (Rentrop scores 0 and 1) and good CCC (Rentrop scores 2 and 3). Results: Poor CCC patients had higher frequencies of diabetes mellitus, triglyceride levels, Syntax and Gensini scores, uric acid, and UAR and lower lymphocyte, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and ejection fraction when compared to good CCC patients. UAR was an independent predictor of poor CCC in CTO patients. Furthermore, UAR had a better discriminative ability for patients with poor CCC from good CCC compared to serum uric acid and albumin. Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, the UAR could be used to detect poor CCC in CTO patients.

Abstract
Angiogenesis, arteriogenesis, and pruning are revascularization processes essential to our natural vascular development and adaptation, as well as central players in the onset and development of pathologies such as tumoral growth and stroke recovery. Computational modeling allows for repeatable experimentation and exploration of these complex biological processes. In this review, we provide an introduction to the biological understanding of the vascular adaptation processes of sprouting angiogenesis, intussusceptive angiogenesis, anastomosis, pruning, and arteriogenesis, discussing some of the more significant contributions made to the computational modeling of these processes. Each computational model represents a theoretical framework for how biology functions, and with rises in computing power and study of the problem these frameworks become more accurate and complete. We highlight physiological, pathological, and technological applications that can be benefit from the advances performed by these models, and we also identify which elements of the biology are underexplored in the current state-of-the-art computational models. This article is categorized under: Cancer > Computational Models Cardiovascular Diseases > Computational Models.

Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total occlusion (CTO PCI) is a challenging procedure with high complication rates and, as not yet fully understood long-term clinical benefits. Ischemic symptom relief in patients with high ischemic burden is to date the only established clinical indication to undergo CTO PCI, supported by randomized controlled trials. In this context, current guidelines suggest attempting CTO PCI only in non-invasively assessed viable CTO correspondent myocardial territories, with large ischemic areas. Hence, besides a comprehensive coronary angiography lesion evaluation, the information derived from non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques is crucial to selecting candidates who may benefit from the revascularization of the occluded vessel. Currently, there are no clear recommendations for a non-invasive myocardial evaluation or choice of imaging modality pre-CTO PCI. Therefore, selecting among available options is left to the physician's discretion. As CTO PCI is strongly recommended to be carried out explicitly in experienced centers, full access to non-invasive imaging for risk-benefit assessment as well as a systematic institutional evaluation process has to be encouraged. In this framework, we opted to review the current myocardial imaging tools and their use for indicating a CTO PCI. Furthermore, based on our experience, we propose a cost-effective systematic approach for myocardial assessment to help guide clinical decision-making for patients presenting with chronic total occlusions.

Abstract
The effects of exercise on the cardiovascular system are multifaceted and complex. It is well-documented that exercise can reduce mortality related to cardiovascular pathology. One anatomical structure that has been implicated in this process is the coronary collateral circulation. The goal of this review is to evaluate the current literature on the effects of exercise on human coronary collateral circulation. A search for literature was conducted on the databases Science Direct and PubMed using the terms: coronary collateral, collateral, exercise, physical activity, resistance training, endurance training, and collateral artery. Research that had the primary outcome of assessing human coronary collateralization secondary to exercise was included. Research in which the effect of exercise was not the primary outcome was excluded. As a result, a total of 13 research papers on the effects of exercise on coronary collateral circulation were included. Thirteen original research papers were reviewed. The mean age range in all studies was between 48 and 64 years old. There was a predominance of male participants, with a total of 597 male patients and 108 female patients across all studies. It was found that initial research underestimated the effect of exercise on coronary collateral circulation due to a lack of sensitive assessment methods. With the introduction of sensitive measures like the collateral flow index (CFI) and Rentrop scoring, results have shown that coronary collateral function can be increased with exercise. Exercise has been shown to enhance coronary collateral function. There is limited evidence as to which type, duration, or intensity of exercise is most favourable to enhance coronary collateral function. There is also relatively little data on the effects of exercise in the female population and those over the age of 65 years. More research is required to determine the specific effects of exercise on coronary collateral circulation in various age groups, genders, co-morbidities, specific exercise modalities, durations, intensities, and the effect of pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
With the high incidence of diabetes around the world, ischemic complications cause a serious influence on people’s production and living. Neovascularization plays a significant role in its development. Therefore, neovascularization after diabetic ischemia has aroused attention and has become a hot spot in recent years. Neovascularization is divided into angiogenesis represented by atherosclerosis and arteriogenesis characterized by coronary collateral circulation. When mononuclear macrophages successively migrate to the ischemia anoxic zone after ischemia or hypoxia, they induce the secretion of cytokines, such as vascular endothelial growth factor and hypoxia-inducible factor, activate signaling pathways such as classic Wnt and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathways, trigger oxidative stress response, activate endothelial progenitor cells or enter the glycolysis or lactic acid process and promote the formation of new blood vessels, remodeling them into mature blood vessels and restoring blood supply. However, the hypoglycemic condition has different impacts on neovascularization. Consequently, this review aimed to introduce the mechanisms of neovascularization after diabetic ischemia, increase our un-derstanding of diabetic ischemic complications and their therapies and provide more treatment options for clinical practice and effectively relieve patients’ pain. It is believed that in the near future, neovascularization will bring more benefits and hope to patients with diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Collateral growth plays an important role in the recovery of acute myocardial infarction. C1q/TNF-related protein-2 (CTRP2), a CTRP family member, showed some protective effects on cell survival. In this study, the relationship between CTRP2 and collateral growth was examined. METHODS C57BL/6 mice were subjected to myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion (I/R), and the expression of CTRP2 and the effect of CTRP2 on infarction size, cardiac function and angiogenesis were examined. The ischaemic hindlimb model was also used to examine the effect of CTRP2. In vitro, CTRP2-mediated regulation of angiogenesis, AKT activation and VEGFR2 expression in endothelial cells was examined. The CTRP2 level associated with good collateral growth was observed in a cohort. RESULTS I/R reduced CTRP2 expression, and intraperitoneal injection of recombinant CTRP2 protein improved infarction size, cardiac function and angiogenesis. Overexpression of CTRP2 promoted blood refusion and collateral growth in ischaemic hindlimb mice. In vitro, CTRP2 enhanced tube formation and migration in a dose-dependent manner, while CTRP2 increased AKT phosphorylation and VEGFR2 expression. In an observational clinical cohort, CTRP2 levels were significantly increased in patients with good collateral growth, and CTRP2 was negatively associated with poor collateral growth in patients. CONCLUSION CTRP2 improved cardiac function by promoting collateral growth by promoting AKT-VEGFR2.

Abstract
ObjectiveTo correlate mean platelet volume lymphocyte ratio (MPVLR) and coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO).Materials and methodsA total of 643 patients who were hospitalized at a single large academic medical center from January 2020 to October 2021 and had CTO lesions in at least one major coronary artery confirmed by coronary angiography were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided according to the Rentrop criteria into poorly formed CCC (Rentrop grade 0–1, n = 235) and well-formed CCC (Rentrop grade 2–3, n = 408) groups. Mean platelet volume lymphocyte ratio (MPVLR) was calculated from routine laboratory data (MPV divided by lymphocyte count). The clinical data of the two groups were compared, and relationships between MPVLR and CCC formation were analyzed.ResultsThe MPVLR of patients with poorly formed CCC was significantly higher than that of patients with well-formed CCC (7.82 ± 3.80 vs. 4.84 ± 1.42, P < 0.01). The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and C-reactive protein levels were significantly higher in the poor CCC group than in the good CCC group (P < 0.01), while the proportions of patients with CTO or multivessel lesions in the right coronary artery were significantly lower in the poor CCC group than in the good CCC group (P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified MPVLR (OR: 2.101, 95% CI: 1.840–2.399, P < 0.01), C-reactive protein level (OR: 1.036, 95% CI: 1.008–1.064, P < 0.05), a history of diabetes mellitus (OR: 2.355, 95% CI: 1.532–3.621, P < 0.01), and right coronary CTO ratio (OR: 0.313, 95% CI: 0.202–0.485, P < 0.01) as independent risk factors for CCC formation. The area under the ROC curve of MPVLR for predicting poorly formed CCC was 0.82 (95% CI: 0.784–0.855, P < 0.01), the best cut-off point was 6.02 and the sensitivity and specificity of MPVLR for predicting poorly formed CCC were 72.3 and 82.4%, respectively.ConclusionIn patients with coronary CTO, MPVLR was negatively correlated with CCC and a high MPVLR level was an independent predictor of poorly formed CCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies showed conflicting results regarding the contribution of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) to myocardial perfusion and function in the setting of myocardial infarction (MI). In the primary angioplasty era, the role of CCC in these studies may have been influenced by the effect of early reperfusion. The true impact of CCC could be clarified by studying its effect on nonreperfused patients. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of CCC on myocardial viability of late presentation MI. METHODS AND RESULTS Between 2008 and 2019, we included 167 patients with a late presentation MI who had a complete angiographic occlusion in a major coronary artery in which myocardial viability of the culprit territory was assessed. Patients were divided according to the presence of angiographic early recruited CCC (ERCC) (Rentrop 2-3) or poor CCC (PCC) (Rentrop 0-1). A lower left ventricular ejection function (LVEF) at discharge (54.2 ± 9 vs. 47.9 ± 12; <0.01) and a more severe left ventricular wall motion abnormalities in the culprit territory were observed in PCC patients. The presence of ERCC was the main independent predictor of myocardial viability in late presentation MI (hazard ratio, 4.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.68-10.6; P < 0.001). At follow-up, wall motion score increased significantly (2.05 ± 0.16; P = 0.02) in patients with ERCC but not in PCC patients (0.07 ± 0.16; P = 0.4), and LVEF improvement was significantly higher in ERCC than in PCC patients (9.7 ± 2.6 vs. 3.8 ± 4.2; P = 0.02). CONCLUSION The presence of ERCC was the main independent predictor of myocardial viability in late presentation MI.

Int J Biochem Cell Biol 2022; 151:106294. [PMID: 36041701 DOI: 10.1016/j.biocel.2022.106294] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Revised: 08/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/25/2022] [Indexed: 10/15/2022]
Abstract
AIMS Angiogenesis plays a key role in coronary collateral circulation (CCC), the compensatory formation of new blood vessels during chronic total coronary occlusion. This study aimed to determine whether plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1), a long non-coding (lnc) RNA involved in tumor angiogenesis, plays a role in regulating angiogenesis during chronic coronary ischemia. MAIN METHODS Patients with coronary artery disease, and ≥90% stenosis, were examined and divided into "Good" and "Poor" CCC groups based on Rentrop Cohen classification. RNA samples were obtained from all patients, as well as from oxygen and glucose-deprived (OGD) HUVECs. PVT1, miR-15b-5p and AKT3 levels were measured with RT-qPCR or Western blot, while HUVEC migration and angiogenesis were detected by, respectively, wound-healing and tube formation assays. Luciferase reporter assay confirmed direct PVT1-miR-15b-5p binding. KEY FINDINGS Increased PVT1 was found in "Good CCC" patient plasma, along with being highly expressed among OGD HUVECs; PVT1 knockdown reduced HUVEC migration, tube formation, and pro-angiogenic factor expression. Conversely, OGD HUVECs had downregulated miR-15b-5p, and miR-15b-5p overexpression significantly depressed their angiogenic capabilities. These PVT1 knockdown- or miR-15b-5p overexpression-associated reductions in angiogenic effects were reversed by AKT3 overexpression. In vivo, neovascularization and functioning in both ischemic mice hind-limbs and infarcted myocardium injected with ADV-sh-PVT1 were reduced, which were ameliorated by concurrent antagomiR-15b-5p injections. SIGNIFICANCE Circulating PVT1 may serve as a useful biomarker to distinguish between good versus poor CCC, as it is involved in orchestrating angiogenesis via the miR-15b-5p-AKT3 axis; it thus has potential as a target for treating ischemic disease.

Abstract
Currently, stem cell transplantations in cardiac repair are limited owing to disadvantages, such as immunological rejection and poor cell viability. Although direct injection of exosomes can have a curative effect similar to that of stem cell transplantation, high clearance hinders its application in clinical practice. Previous reports suggested that induction of coronary collateralization can be a desired method of adjunctive therapy for someone who had missed the optimal operation time to attenuate myocardial ischemia. In this study, to mimic the paracrine and biological activity of stem cells, we developed artificial stem cells that can continuously release Tβ4-exosomes (Tβ4-ASCs) by encapsulating specific exosomes within microspheres using microfluidics technology. The results show that Tβ4-ASCs can greatly promote coronary collateralization in the periphery of the myocardial infarcted area, and its therapeutic effect is superior to that of directly injecting the exosomes. In addition, to better understand how it works, we demonstrated that the Tβ4-ASC-derived exosomes can enhance the angiogenic capacity of coronary endothelial cells (CAECs) via the miR-17-5p/PHD3/Hif-1α pathway. In brief, as artificial stem cells, Tβ4-ASCs can constantly release functional exosomes and stimulate the formation of collateral circulation after myocardial infarction, providing a feasible and alternative method for clinical revascularization. Inspired by the paracrine of stem cells, we fabricated artificial stem cells (Tβ4-ASCs) by loading engineered Tβ4-exosomes with microspheres using microfluidics technology. Tβ4-ASCs stimulate the formation of coronary collateralization in myocardial infarcted area through a slowly sustained release of engineered Tβ4-exosomes. Tβ4-ASCs improve coronary collateralization via the miR-17-5p/PHD3/Hif-1α signaling pathway.

Abstract
At least 17 million people die from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) every year, ranking it first among causes of death of human beings, and its incidence is gradually increasing. Typical characteristics of AMI include acute onset and poor prognosis. At present, there is no satisfactory treatment, but development of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) can be key to improving prognosis. Recent research indicates that the levels of cytokines, including those related to promoting inflammatory responses and angiogenesis, increase after the onset of AMI. In the early phase of AMI, cytokines play a vital role in inducing development of collateral circulation. However, when myocardial infarction is decompensated, cytokine secretion increases greatly, which may induce a cytokine storm and worsen prognosis. Cytokines can regulate the activation of a variety of signal pathways and form a complex network, which may promote or inhibit the establishment of collateral circulation. We searched for published articles in PubMed and Google Scholar, employing the keyword “acute myocardial infarction”, “coronary collateral circulation” and “cytokine storm”, to clarify the relationship between AMI and a cytokine storm, and how a cytokine storm affects the growth of collateral circulation after AMI, so as to explore treatment methods based on cytokine agents or inhibitors used to improve prognosis of AMI.

Abstract
AIMS This study intends to explore whether, or to what extent, the estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol was associated with coronary collateralization in patients with chronic total occlusion lesions. METHODS 792 patients with at least one coronary chronic total occlusion lesion were enrolled. Serum level of lipid profiles were determined and the estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol was calculated. The development of coronary collateralization was graded as low (Rentrop score 0-1) or high (Rentrop score 2-3) collateralization according to the Rentrop classification system and then the association between the estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol and collateralization was assessed. RESULTS 222 participants were classified into low collateralization group. The estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol level was significantly higher in low collateralization (P < 0.001) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (P = 0.009) group. To further explore the association between the estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol and the development of coronary collateralization, these patients were divided into 3 groups based on the estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol tertiles. The prevalence of low collateralization increased stepwise with the tertile groups (T1 12.5% vs. 27.1% vs. 45.3%, P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol was independently associated with the under-developed collateralization, with an OR and 95%CI of 2.34 (1.46-3.74) and 4.91 (3.01-8.02) in the T2 and T3 group, respectively. The following receiver-operating characteristic analysis indicated that the diagnostic value of estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol for the low collateralization was 0.696, with a cut-off value of 0.485, and its sensitivity was 82.88%. Besides, the addition of the estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol into the baseline model consisting of traditional risk factors could improve the incremental value of the discrimination of impaired collateralization only in overall and type 2 diabetes mellitus populations. CONCLUSIONS The increased estimated remnant-like particle cholesterol is independently associated with impaired collateralization in patients with coronary chronic total occlusion lesions. Therapies targeting at remnant-like particle cholesterol may be needed in advanced coronary artery disease patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus not suitable for vascular revascularization.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Data on the clinical characteristics, electrocardiogram (ECG) findings and outcomes of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) due to total unprotected left main (ULM) artery occlusion is limited.
Methods
Between 2009 and 2021, 44 patients with AMI due to total ULM occlusion underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at our institution. The ECG, collateral circulation, clinical and procedural characteristics, and in-hospital mortality were retrospectively evaluated.
Results
Twenty five patients presented with shock and 18 patients had in-hospital mortality. Nineteen patients presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), while 25 presented with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). ST-segment elevation (STE) in I and STEMI were associated with the absence of collateral circulation, while STE in aVR was associated with its presence. In the NSTEMI group, patients with STE in both aVR and aVL showed more collateral filling of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) territory, while patients with STE in aVR showed more collateral filling of the LAD and the left circumflex artery territory. Compared with total ULM occlusion, patients with partial ULM obstruction presented with more STE in aVR, less STE in aVR and aVL, and less STEMI. Shock, post-PCI TIMI 0–2 flow, non-STE in aVR, STEMI, and STE in I predicted in-hospital mortality. STEMI and the absence of collateral flow were significantly associated with shock.
Conclusions
STE in the precordial leads predicted the absence of collateral circulation while STE in aVR and STE in both aVR and aVL predicted different collateral filling territories in ULM occlusion. STE in I, non-STE in aVR, and STEMI predicted in-hospital mortality in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ischemic heart disease following the obstruction of coronary vessels leads to the death of cardiac tissue and the formation of a fibrotic scar. In contrast to adult mammals, zebrafish can regenerate their heart after injury, enabling the study of the underlying mechanisms. One of the earliest responses following cardiac injury in adult zebrafish is coronary revascularization. Defects in this process lead to impaired cardiomyocyte repopulation and scarring. Hence, identifying and investigating factors that promote coronary revascularization holds great therapeutic potential. METHODS We used wholemount imaging, immunohistochemistry and histology to assess various aspects of zebrafish cardiac regeneration. Deep transcriptomic analysis allowed us to identify targets and potential effectors of Vegfc (vascular endothelial growth factor C) signaling. We used newly generated loss- and gain-of-function genetic tools to investigate the role of Emilin2a (elastin microfibril interfacer 2a) and Cxcl8a (chemokine (C-X-C) motif ligand 8a)-Cxcr1 (chemokine (C-X-C) motif receptor 1) signaling in cardiac regeneration. RESULTS We first show that regenerating coronary endothelial cells upregulate vegfc upon cardiac injury in adult zebrafish and that Vegfc signaling is required for their proliferation during regeneration. Notably, blocking Vegfc signaling also significantly reduces cardiomyocyte dedifferentiation and proliferation. Using transcriptomic analyses, we identified emilin2a as a target of Vegfc signaling and found that manipulation of emilin2a expression can modulate coronary revascularization as well as cardiomyocyte proliferation. Mechanistically, Emilin2a induces the expression of the chemokine gene cxcl8a in epicardium-derived cells, while cxcr1, the Cxcl8a receptor gene, is expressed in coronary endothelial cells. We further show that Cxcl8a-Cxcr1 signaling is also required for coronary endothelial cell proliferation during cardiac regeneration. CONCLUSIONS These data show that after cardiac injury, coronary endothelial cells upregulate vegfc to promote coronary network reestablishment and cardiac regeneration. Mechanistically, Vegfc signaling upregulates epicardial emilin2a and cxcl8a expression to promote cardiac regeneration. These studies aid in understanding the mechanisms underlying coronary revascularization in zebrafish, with potential therapeutic implications to enhance revascularization and regeneration in injured human hearts.

Abstract
Surgical myocardial revascularization is associated with long-term survival benefit in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease. However, the exact biological mechanisms underlying the clinical benefits of myocardial revascularization have not been elucidated yet. Angiogenesis and arteriogenesis biologically leading to vascular collateralization are considered one of the endogenous mechanisms to preserve myocardial viability during ischemia, and the presence of coronary collateralization has been regarded as one of the predictors of long-term survival in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Some experimental studies and indirect clinical evidence on chronic CAD confirmed an angiogenetic response induced by myocardial revascularization and suggested that revascularization procedures could constitute an angiogenetic trigger per se. In this review, the clinical and basic science evidence regarding arteriogenesis and angiogenesis in both CAD and coronary revascularization is analyzed with the aim to better elucidate their significance in the clinical arena and potential therapeutic use.

Serum CTRP9 Reflects Coronary Collateralization in Nondiabetic Patients with Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:8537686. [PMID: 35309173 PMCID: PMC8930261 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8537686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Revised: 02/14/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Aim. To explore the association between the serum C1q/tumor necrosis factor-related protein 9 (CTRP9) and the formation of coronary collateral circulation in obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods. A total of 206 patients who underwent coronary angiography at Beijing Anzhen Hospital and had epicardial arteries with at least 95% stenotic lesion were enrolled. Blood samples were taken after an overnight fasting before the coronary angiography. Serum CTRP9 level was measured using commercial enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The development of coronary collateralization was determined according to the Rentrop classification system. Rentrop score 0-1 was graded as impaired or less-developed coronary collateralization (
) while the Rentrop score 2-3 was defined as well-developed collateralization (
). Results. Serum CTRP9 level was significantly higher in well-developed collateralization and diabetes groups (
). To further explore the association between the CTRP9 level and coronary collateralization, the enrolled participants were divided into 3 tertiles according to the serum CTRP9 level. The prevalence of impaired coronary collateralization decreased stepwise with the increasing CTRP9 tertiles (
for trend <0.001). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the serum CTRP9 is independently associated with well-developed collateralization, with an OR (95% CI) of 4.49 (1.75-11.55) and 8.98 (2.75-29.35) in the tertiles 2 and 3, respectively. The following subgroup and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis also indicated that the diagnostic value of serum CTRP9 level for detecting the formation of collateralization persisted only in nondiabetic participants. Lastly, adding the serum CTRP9 into the baseline model could increase the diagnostic value of established model consisting of relevant factor for the discrimination of well-developed collateralization only in the nondiabetic group (
). Conclusions. Serum CTRP9 reflects well-developed coronary collateralization in nondiabetic patients with obstructive CAD, and
indicated a greater chance to forming well-developed coronary collaterals.

Abstract
Background
Transient receptor potential canonical (TRPC) channels play a role in angiogenesis. However, the involvement of TRPC1 in myocardial infarction (MI) remains unclear. The present study was aimed at investigating whether TRPC1 can improve the recovery of cardiac function via prompting angiogenesis following MI.
Methods and Results
In vitro, coronary artery endothelial cells from floxed TRPC1 mice and endothelial cell‐specific TRPC1 channel knockout mice were cultured to access EC angiogenesis. Both EC tube formation and migration were significantly suppressed in mouse coronary artery endothelial cells from endothelial cell‐specific TRPC1 channel knockout mice. In vivo, coronary artery endothelial cells from floxed TRPC1 and endothelial cell‐specific TRPC1 channel knockout mice were subjected to MI, then echocardiography, triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining and immunofluorescence were performed to assess cardiac repair on day 28. Endothelial cell‐specific TRPC1 channel knockout mice had higher ejection fraction change, larger myocardial infarct size, and reduced capillary density in the infarct area compared with coronary artery endothelial cells from floxed TRPC1 mice. Furthermore, we found underlying regulation by HIF‐1α (hypoxic inducible factor‐1α) and MEK‐ERK (mitogen‐activated protein kinase/extracellular signal‐regulated kinase) that could be the mechanism for the angiogenetic action of TRPC1. Significantly, treatment with dimethyloxaloylglycine, an activator of HIF‐1α, induced cardiac improvement via the HIF‐1α‐TRPC1‐MEK/ERK pathway in MI mice.
Conclusions
Our study demonstrated TRPC1 improves cardiac function after MI by increasing angiogenesis via the upstream regulator HIF‐1α and downstream MEK/ERK, and dimethyloxaloylglycine treatment has protective effect on MI through the HIF‐1α‐TRPC1‐MEK/ERK pathway.

Abstract
The collateral circulation can adapt to bypass major arteries with limited flow and serves a crucial protective role in coronary, cerebral, and peripheral arterial disease. Emerging evidence indicates that the renal collateral circulation can similarly adapt and thereby limit kidney ischemia in atherosclerotic renovascular disease. These adaptations predominantly include recruitment of preexisting microvessels for arteriogenesis, with de novo vessel formation playing a limited role. Yet, adaptations of the renal collateral circulation in renovascular disease are often insufficient to fully compensate for the limited flow within an obstructed renal artery and may be hampered by the severity of obstruction or patient comorbidities. Experimental strategies have attempted to circumvent limitations of collateral formation and improve the prognosis of patients with various ischemic vascular territories. These have included pharmacological approaches such as endothelial growth factors, renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockade, and If-channel-blockers, as well as interventions like preconditioning, exercise, enhanced external counter-pulsation, and low-energy shock-wave therapy. However, few of these strategies have been implemented in atherosclerotic renovascular disease. This review summarizes current understanding regarding the development of renal collateral circulation in atherosclerotic renovascular disease. Studies are needed to apply lessons learned in other vascular beds in the setting of atherosclerotic renovascular disease to develop new treatment regimens for this patient group.

Abstract
Over the last decades, myocardial infarction and heart failure have accounted every year for millions of deaths worldwide. After a coronary occlusion, the lack of blood supply to downstream muscle leads to cell death and scarring. To date, several pro-angiogenic factors have been tested to stimulate reperfusion of the affected myocardium, VEGFA being one of the most extensively studied. Given the unsuccessful outcomes of clinical trials, understanding how cardiac revascularization takes place in models with endogenous regenerative capacity holds the key to devising more efficient therapies. Here, we summarize the main findings on VEGFA's role during cardiac repair and regeneration, with a particular focus on zebrafish as a regenerative model. Moreover, we provide a comprehensive overview of available tools to modulate Vegfa expression and action in zebrafish regeneration studies. Understanding the role of Vegfa during zebrafish heart regeneration may help devise efficient therapies and circumvent current limitations in using VEGFA for therapeutic angiogenesis approaches.

Association between the triglyceride glucose index and coronary collateralization in coronary artery disease patients with chronic total occlusion lesions. Lipids Health Dis 2021; 20:140. [PMID: 34689767 PMCID: PMC8543811 DOI: 10.1186/s12944-021-01574-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Recent studies have substantiated the role of the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index in predicting the prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients, while no relevant studies have revealed the association between the TyG index and coronary collateralization in the event of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO). The current study intends to explore whether, or to what extent, the TyG index is associated with impaired collateralization in CAD patients with CTO lesions. Methods The study enrolled 1093 CAD patients undergoing cardiac catheterization for at least one CTO lesion. Data were collected from the Beijing Anzhen Hospital record system. The degree of collaterals was determined according to the Rentrop classification system. The correlation between the TyG index and coronary collateralization was assessed. Results Overall, 318 patients were included in a less developed collateralization (Rentrop classification 0-1) group. The TyG index was significantly higher in patients with impaired collateralization (9.3±0.65 vs. 8.8±0.53, P<0.001). After adjusting for various confounding factors, the TyG index remained correlated with the occurrence of impaired collateralization, with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.59 and 5.72 in the T2 and T3 group compared with the first tertile group (P<0.001). In addition, subgroup analysis showed that higher TyG index values remained strongly associated with increased risk of less developed collateralization. To compare the risk assessment efficacy for the formation of collateralization between the TyG index and other metabolic abnormality indicators, an area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) was obtained. A significant improvement in the risk assessment performance for impaired collateralization emerged when adding the TyG index into a baseline model. Conclusions The increased TyG index is strongly associated with less developed collateralization in CAD patients with CTO lesions and its risk assessment performance is better than single metabolic abnormality indicators.

Non-invasive Global and Regional Myocardial Work Predicts High-Risk Stable Coronary Artery Disease Patients With Normal Segmental Wall Motion and Left Ventricular Function. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:711547. [PMID: 34651024 PMCID: PMC8505723 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.711547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Previous studies suggested that myocardial work (MW) may identify abnormalities in the left ventricular (LV) function and establish a more sensitive index for LV dysfunction at the early stage. This study aimed to explore the value of global and regional MW parameters in predicting high-risk stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) patients with normal wall motion and preserved LV function. Patients and Methods: A total of 131 patients, who were clinically diagnosed as SCAD with normal wall motion and LV function, were finally included in this study. Global MW parameters, including global work index (GWI), global constructive work (GCW), global waste work (GWW), and global work efficiency (GWE) were measured with non-invasive LV pressure-strain loops constructed from speckle-tracking echocardiography. Regional myocardial work index (RWI) and work efficiency (RWE) were also calculated according to the perfusion territory of each major coronary artery. All patients underwent coronary angiography and were divided into the high-risk SCAD group, the non-high-risk SCAD group, and the No SCAD group according to the range and degrees of coronary arteries stenosis. Results: The global longitudinal strain (GLS), GWI and GCW were statistically different (P < 0.001) among the three groups. In the high-risk SCAD group, GLS, GWI, and GCW were significantly lower than the other two groups (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated GWI and GCW could predict high-risk SCAD at a cutoff value of 1,808 mm Hg% (sensitivity, 52.6%; specificity, 87.8%; predictive positive value, 76.3%; predictive negative value, 69.9%) and 2,308 mm Hg% (sensitivity, 80.7%; specificity, 64.9%; predictive positive value, 63.3%; predictive negative value, 80.0%), respectively. Multivariate analyses showed that carotid plaque, decreased GWI, and GCW was independently related to high-risk SCAD. The cutoff values of RWILAD, RWILCX, and RWIRCA were 2,156, 1,929, and 1,983 mm Hg% in predicting high-risk SCAD, respectively (P < 0.001). When we combined RWI in two or three perfusion regions, the diagnostic performance of SCAD was improved (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Both global and regional MW parameters have great potential in non-invasively predicting high-risk SCAD patients with normal wall motion and preserved LV function, contributing to the early identification of high-risk patients who may benefit from revascularization therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital coronary artery fistula can lead to symptoms of chest tightness, chest pain, or exertional dyspnea, which is a congenital vascular malformation that should not be ignored. Patients who have such malformations are frequently observed with different concurrent abnormal anatomic structures. Collateral circulation may have a positive effect on improving the patients' symptoms.
CASE SUMMARY A 53-year-old female experienced episodic chest discomfort for the past month with symptoms manifesting when she was agitated or overexerted. After a positive treadmill test, the patient underwent coronary angiography. “Ghostlike” intermittent appearance of coronary ventricular fistula and collateral branching were observed. The patient was diagnosed with a right coronary ventricular fistula and collateral circulation.
CONCLUSION This case shows the likelihood of collateral circulation in patients with coronary artery fistula. This may provide medical staff with novel solutions to treat insufficiency of myocardial blood supply induced by cardiovascular malformations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Despite tremendous advances, the shortcomings of current therapies for coronary disease are evidenced by the fact that it remains the leading cause of death in many parts of the world. There is hence a drive to develop novel therapies to tackle this disease. Therapeutic approaches to coronary angiogenesis have long been an area of interest in lieu of its incredible, albeit unrealized potential. AREAS COVERED This paper offers an overview of mechanisms of native angiogenesis and a description of angiogenic growth factors. It progresses to outline the advances in gene and stem cell therapy and provides a brief description of other investigational approaches to promote angiogenesis. Finally, the hurdles and limitations unique to this particular area of study are discussed. EXPERT OPINION An effective, sustained, and safe therapeutic option for angiogenesis truly could be the paradigm shift for cardiovascular medicine. Unfortunately, clinically meaningful therapeutic options remain elusive because promising animal studies have not been replicated in human trials. The sheer complexity of this process means that numerous major hurdles remain before therapeutic angiogenesis truly makes its way from the bench to the bedside.

Abstract
Phosphorylcholine is a pro‐inflammatory epitope exposed on apoptotic cells, and phosphorylcholine monoclonal immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibodies (PC‐mAb) have anti‐inflammatory properties. In this study, we hypothesize that PC‐mAb treatment reduces adverse cardiac remodelling and infarct size (IS) following unreperfused transmural myocardial infarction (MI). Unreperfused MI was induced by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery in hypercholesterolaemic APOE*3‐Leiden mice. Three weeks following MI, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging showed a reduced LV end‐diastolic volume (EDV) by 21% and IS by 31% upon PC‐mAb treatment as compared to the vehicle control group. In addition, the LV fibrous content was decreased by 27% and LV wall thickness was better preserved by 47% as determined by histological analysis. Two days following MI, CCL2 concentrations, assessed by use of ELISA, were decreased by 81% and circulating monocytes by 64% as assessed by use of FACS analysis. Additionally, local leucocyte infiltration determined by immunohistological analysis showed a 62% decrease after three weeks. In conclusion, the local and systemic inflammatory responses are limited by PC‐mAb treatment resulting in restricted adverse cardiac remodelling and IS following unreperfused MI. This indicates that PC‐mAb holds promise as a therapeutic agent following MI limiting adverse cardiac remodelling.

Abstract
Objective The present study investigated the potential correlation between non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (non-HDL-C/HDL) and the formation of coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in coronary artery disease cases with chronic total occlusive (CTO) lesions. Methods Two experienced cardiologists identified and selected patients with CTO lesions for retrospective analysis. The 353 patients were divided into a CCC poor formation group (Rentrop 0–1 grade, n = 209) and a CCC good formation group (Rentrop 2–3 grade, n = 144) based on the Cohen-Rentrop standard. A comparison of non-HDL-C/HDL ratios between the two groups was performed. The Spearman test was used to obtain the correlation between the cholesterol ratio and Rentrop grade. Independent predictors of CCC were analyzed using logistic regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was also performed to quantify the predictive value of research indicator. Results The non-HDL-C/HDL ratio in the CCC poor formation group was elevated markedly compared to the CCC good formation group [( 3.86 ± 1.40) vs ( 3.31 ± 1.22), P = 0.000]. The Spearman test results indicated that non-HDL-C/HDL negatively correlated with Rentrop grade (r = − 0.115, P = 0.030). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that non-HDL-C/HDL ratio was an independent predictor of CCC formation (OR = 1.195, 95%CI = 1.020–1.400, P = 0.027). The area under the curve of ROC for detecting CCC poor formation was 0.611 (95% CI: 0.551–0.671, P = 0.000) with an optimal cut-off value of 2.77. Conclusion Non-HDL-C/HDL negatively correlated with the formation of CCC and served as an independent predictor of CCC formation, which may be used as a biomarker for the evaluation of CCC.
