The detrimental role of galectin-3 and endoplasmic reticulum stress in the cardiac consequences of myocardial ischemia in the context of obesity. FASEB J 2024; 38:e23818. [PMID: 38989572 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202400747r] [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: 04/03/2024] [Revised: 06/18/2024] [Accepted: 07/01/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024]
Abstract
The association between cardiac fibrosis and galectin-3 was evaluated in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). The role of galectin-3 and its association with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress activation in the progression of cardiovascular fibrosis was also evaluated in obese-infarcted rats. The inhibitor of galectin-3 activity, modified citrus pectin (MCP; 100 mg/kg/day), and the inhibitor of the ER stress activation, 4-phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA; 500 mg/kg/day), were administered for 4 weeks after MI in obese rats. Overweight-obese patients who suffered a first MI showed higher circulating galectin-3 levels, higher extracellular volume, and LV infarcted size, as well as lower E/e'ratio and LVEF compared with normal-weight patients. A correlation was observed between galectin-3 levels and extracellular volume. Obese-infarcted animals presented cardiac hypertrophy and reduction in LVEF, and E/A ratio as compared with control animals. They also showed an increase in galectin-3 gene expression, as well as cardiac fibrosis and reduced autophagic flux. These alterations were associated with ER stress activation characterized by enhanced cardiac levels of binding immunoglobulin protein, which were correlated with those of galectin-3. Both MCP and 4-PBA not only reduced cardiac fibrosis, oxidative stress, galectin-3 levels, and ER stress activation, but also prevented cardiac functional alterations and ameliorated autophagic flux. These results show the relevant role of galectin-3 in the development of diffuse fibrosis associated with MI in the context of obesity in both the animal model and patients. Galectin-3 in tandem with ER stress activation could modulate different downstream mechanisms, including inflammation, oxidative stress, and autophagy.

Abstract
The prognosis holds significant implications for the long-term quality of life among patients suffering from coronary artery disease. However, a pressing challenge lies in the absence of reliable biomarkers that can establish a definitive correlation between these biomarkers and the prognosis of coronary artery heart disease. This review paper delves into the critical role of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in predicting outcomes in coronary artery disease. It examines the influence of NGAL on various clinical manifestations, including stable angina, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and isolated coronary artery dilation. Furthermore, this review provides recommendations aimed at enhancing the rigor and impact of future research, thereby serving as a valuable reference for subsequent studies in this domain.

Abstract
Activated neutrophils release a range of inflammatory products that represent potential biomarkers, and there is interest in the prognostic value of these in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. We conducted a systematic review to examine neutrophil-enriched biomarkers and the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with ACS. We identified twenty-seven studies including 17,831 patients with ACS. The most studied biomarkers were neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). Meta-analyses showed that elevated NGAL was associated with higher MACE rates (unadjusted risk ratio (RR) 1.52, 95% CI 1.12-2.06, p = 0.006) as were elevated MPO levels (unadjusted RR 1.61, 95% CI 1.22-2.13, p = 0.01). There was limited data suggesting that increased levels of calprotectin, proteinase-3 and double-stranded DNA were also associated with MACE. These results suggest that higher levels of neutrophil-enriched biomarkers may be predictive of MACE in patients with ACS, although higher-quality studies are needed to confirm these observations.

Abstract
Background NGAL serum concentration have predictive value for cardiovascular events and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Objectives Assessed the all-cause mortarlity prognosis value of serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), combination with N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and hsTnT, and GRACE score in patients with ACS. Materials and methods We conducted a cross-sectional analysis study used in this study in 58 patients with ACS. Serum NGAL, NT-proBNP, hs-TnT concentration and GRACE score associated with death events (after 3 months of follow-up) were assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results High performance in predicting mortality of NGAL with a cut-off value of 154.55 ng/mL (AUC, 95% CI = 0.96, 0.90 - 1.0; p = 0.001), GRACE score with 140.50 scores (AUC, 95% CI = 0.76, 0.57 - 0.96; p = 0.051). Combination of NTproBNP plus NGAL indicated with the highest value (AUC, 95% CI = 0.96, 0.91 - 1.0; Se = 80.0; Sp = 92.5; p = 0.001). The relative risk assessment indicated a high value in mortality prediction of NGAL with a cut-off value of 154.55 (OR, 95% CI = 49.0, 4.3 - 549.2; p < 0.001), and GRACE score with 140.50 scores (OR, 95% CI = 11.1, 1.1 - 108.4; p = 0.013). Conclusion NGAL can be employed as a biomarker for the early prediction of mortality events in individuals with ACS. The combination of NGAL, NT-proBNP, hsTnT, and GRACE score showed the higher outcome but not worth mentioning.

Abstract
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a 25-kDa protein that is secreted mostly by immune cells such as neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Its production is stimulated in response to inflammation. The concentrations of NGAL can be measured in plasma, urine, and biological fluids such as peritoneal effluent. NGAL is known mainly as a biomarker of acute kidney injury and is released after tubular damage and during renal regeneration processes. NGAL is also elevated in chronic kidney disease and dialysis patients. It may play a role as a predictor of the progression of renal function decreases with complications and mortality due to kidney failure. NGAL is also useful in the diagnostic processes of cardiovascular diseases. It is highly expressed in injured heart tissue and atherosclerostic plaque; its serum concentrations correlate with the severity of heart failure and coronary artery disease. NGAL increases inflammatory states and its levels rise in arterial hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and metabolic complications such as insulin resistance, and is also involved in carcinogenesis. In this review, we present the current knowledge on NGAL and its involvement in different pathologies, especially its role in renal and cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is an inflammatory biomarker related to acute kidney injury (AKI). Including 1892 consecutive patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in which NGAL was measured in 1624 (86%) on admission and in a consecutive subgroup at 6-12 h (n = 163) and 12-24 h (n = 222) after admission, this study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of NGAL in predicting AKI and mortality. Patients were stratified based on whether their admission NGAL plasma concentration was greater than or equal to/less than the median. The primary endpoint was a composite of the first occurrence of AKI or all-cause death within 30 days. AKI was classified by the maximal plasma creatinine increase from baseline during index admission as KDIGO1 (<200% increase) or KDIGO23 (≥200% increase) according to the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) system. Admission NGAL > the median was independently associated with a higher risk of severe AKI (KDIGO2-3) and 30-day all-cause mortality when adjusted for age, admission systolic blood pressure and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, left-ventricular ejection fraction, known kidney dysfunction, and cardiogenic shock with an odds ratio (95% confidence interval) of 2.26 (1.18-4.51), p = 0.014. Finally, we observed increasing predictive values in a subgroup during the first day of hospitalization suggesting that assessment of NGAL should be delayed for optimal prognostic purposes.

Abstract
Heart failure is a major public health problem and, despite the constantly emerging, new, effective treatments, it remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Reliable tools for early diagnosis and risk stratification are crucial in the management of HF. This explains a growing interest in the development of new biomarkers related to various pathophysiological mechanisms of HF. In the course of this review, we focused on the markers of congestion and renal dysfunction in terms of their interference with cardiovascular homeostasis. Congestion is a hallmark feature of heart failure, contributing to symptoms, morbidity, and hospitalizations of patients with HF and has, therefore, become a therapeutic target in AHF. On the other hand, impaired renal function by altering the volume status contributes to the development and progression of HF and serves as a marker of an adverse clinical outcome. Early detection of congestion and an adequate assessment of renal status are essential for the prompt administration of patient-tailored therapy. This review provides an insight into recent advances in the field of HF biomarkers that could be potentially implemented in diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with HF.

Abstract
Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the most common cardiac emergencies with high morbidity and is a leading cause of death worldwide. Since MI could develop into a life-threatening emergency and could also seriously affect the life quality of patients, continuous efforts have been made to create an effective strategy to prevent the occurrence of MI and reduce MI-related mortality. Numerous studies have confirmed that neutrophils play important roles in inflammation and innate immunity, which provide the first line of defense against microorganisms by producing inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, releasing reactive oxygen species, and degranulating components of neutrophil cytoplasmic granules to kill pathogens. Recently, researchers reported that neutrophils are closely related to the severity and prognosis of patients with MI, and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in post-MI patients had predictive value for major adverse cardiac events. Neutrophils have been increasingly recognized to exert important functions in MI. Especially, granule proteins released by neutrophil degranulation after neutrophil activation have been suggested to involve in the process of MI. This article reviewed the current research progress of neutrophil granules in MI and discusses neutrophil degranulation associated diagnosis and treatment strategies. Video abstract

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death globally. Risk assessment is crucial for identifying at-risk individuals who require immediate attention as well as to guide the intensity of medical therapy to reduce subsequent risk of CVD. In the past decade, many risk prediction models have been proposed to estimate the risk of developing CVD. However, in patients with a history of CVD, the current models that based on traditional risk factors provide limited power in predicting recurrent cardiovascular events. Several biomarkers from different pathophysiological pathways have been identified to predict cardiovascular events, and the incorporation of biomarkers into risk assessment may contribute to enhance risk stratification in secondary prevention. This review focuses on biomarkers related to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, including B-type natriuretic peptide, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I, adiponectin, adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein, heart-type fatty acid-binding protein, lipocalin-2, fibroblast growth factor 19 and 21, retinol-binding protein 4, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9, and discusses the potential utility of these biomarkers in cardiovascular risk prediction among patients with CVD. Many of these biomarkers have shown promise in improving risk prediction of CVD. Further research is needed to assess the validity of biomarker and whether the strategy for incorporating biomarker into clinical practice may help to optimize decision-making and therapeutic management.

Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) Measured at Admission is Associated With Development of Late Cardiogenic Shock and Mortality in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction. Shock 2021; 56:255-259.

Abstract
ABSTRACT In patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the immune system is activated with an inflammatory response to follow. In STEMI patients with a severe inflammatory response, risk of development of cardiogenic shock (CS) seems increased. Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) is a glycoprotein released from mature neutrophils and plasma concentration may increase immediately after STEMI. We therefore aimed to assess whether admission NGAL plasma concentration in patients with STEMI was associated with CS development after leaving the catheterization laboratory (late CS) and 30-day all-cause mortality. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1,892 consecutive patients with STEMI 1,626 (86%) had plasma NGAL concentration measured upon hospital admission before angiography throughout a 1-year period at two tertiary heart centers in Denmark. Patients were stratified according to NGAL quartiles (Q1-4). To assess late CS development, we adjusted for the Observatoire Régional Breton sur l'Infarctus risk score for late CS. For mortality assessment, we adjusted for gender, age, post-PCI culprit Thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), kidney dysfunction, and being comatose after cardiac arrest. RESULTS Increasing NGAL concentration was associated with higher age, more comorbidities, and more critical patient conditions including lower blood pressure and LVEF. When adjusted for factors associated with poor outcome, NGAL remained independently associated with both late CS development (Q4 vs. Q1-3) (OR (95% CI) 3.64 (1.79-7.41) and 30-day mortality (HR (95% CI) 3.18 (1.73-5.84)). CONCLUSION Admission plasma concentration of NGAL in STEMI patients is independently associated with 30-day all-cause mortality and predictive of late CS development.
