Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) causes thickening and hardening of the arterial wall due to accumulation of extracellular matrix, cholesterol, and cells. In this study, we used comprehensive bioinformatics tools and machine learning approaches to explore key genes and molecular network mechanisms underlying AS in multiple data sets. Next, we analyzed the correlation between AS and immune fine cell infiltration, and finally performed drug prediction for the disease. We downloaded GSE20129 and GSE90074 datasets from the Gene expression Omnibus database, then employed the Cell-type Identification By Estimating Relative Subsets Of RNA Transcripts algorithm to analyze 22 immune cells. To enrich for functional characteristics, the black module correlated most strongly with T cells was screened with weighted gene co-expression networks analysis. Functional enrichment analysis revealed that the genes were mainly enriched in cell adhesion and T-cell-related pathways, as well as NF-κ B signaling. We employed the Lasso regression and random forest algorithms to screen out 5 intersection genes (CCDC106, RASL11A, RIC3, SPON1, and TMEM144). Pathway analysis in gene set variation analysis and gene set enrichment analysis revealed that the key genes were mainly enriched in inflammation, and immunity, among others. The selected key genes were analyzed by single-cell RNA sequencing technology. We also analyzed differential expression between these 5 key genes and those involved in iron death. We found that ferroptosis genes ACSL4, CBS, FTH1 and TFRC were differentially expressed between AS and the control groups, RIC3 and FTH1 were significantly negatively correlated, whereas SPON1 and VDAC3 were significantly positively correlated. Finally, we used the Connectivity Map database for drug prediction. These results provide new insights into AS genetic regulation.

KIDNEY DISEASES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 10:200-212. [PMID: 38835404 PMCID: PMC11149992 DOI: 10.1159/000538510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to develop and validate machine learning (ML) models based on serum Klotho for predicting end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods Five different ML models were trained to predict the risk of ESKD and CVD at three different time points (3, 5, and 8 years) using a cohort of 400 non-dialysis CKD patients. The dataset was divided into a training set (70%) and an internal validation set (30%). These models were informed by data comprising 47 clinical features, including serum Klotho. The best-performing model was selected and used to identify risk factors for each outcome. Model performance was assessed using various metrics. Results The findings showed that the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model had the highest accuracy (C-index = 0.71) in predicting ESKD. The features mainly included in this model were estimated glomerular filtration rate, 24-h urinary microalbumin, serum albumin, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and serum Klotho, which achieved the highest area under the curve (AUC) of 0.930 (95% CI: 0.897-0.962). In addition, for the CVD risk prediction, the random survival forest model with the highest accuracy (C-index = 0.66) was selected and achieved the highest AUC of 0.782 (95% CI: 0.633-0.930). The features mainly included in this model were age, history of primary hypertension, calcium, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and serum Klotho. Conclusion We successfully developed and validated Klotho-based ML risk prediction models for CVD and ESKD in CKD patients with good performance, indicating their high clinical utility.

Abstract
Rationale & Objective Proteomics could provide pathophysiologic insight into the increased risk of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This study aimed to investigate associations between the circulating proteome and all-cause mortality among patients with CKD. Study Design Observational cohort study. Setting & Participants Primary analysis in 703 participants in the African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK) and validation in 1,628 participants with CKD in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study who attended visit 5. Exposure Circulating proteins. Outcome All-cause mortality. Analytical Approach Among AASK participants, we evaluated the associations of 6,790 circulating proteins with all-cause mortality using multivariable Cox proportional hazards models. Proteins with significant associations were further studied in ARIC Visit 5 participants with CKD. Results In the AASK cohort, the mean age was 54.5 years, 271 (38.5%) were women, and the mean measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 46 mL/min/1.73 m2. The median follow-up was 9.6 years, and 7 distinct proteins were associated with all-cause mortality at the Bonferroni-level threshold (P < 0.05 of the 6,790) after adjustment for demographics and clinical factors, including baseline measured estimated GFR and proteinuria. In the ARIC visit 5 cohort, the mean age was 77.2 years, 903 (55.5%) were women, the mean estimated GFR was 54 mL/min/1.73 m2 and median follow-up was 6.9 years. Of the 7 proteins found in AASK, 3 (β2-microglobulin, spondin-1, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide) were available in the ARIC data, with all 3 significantly associated with death in ARIC. Limitations Possibility of unmeasured confounding. Cause of death was not known. Conclusions Using large-scale proteomic analysis, proteins were reproducibly associated with mortality in 2 cohorts of participants with CKD. Plain-Language Summary Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a high risk of premature death, with various pathophysiological processes contributing to this increased risk of mortality. This observational cohort study aimed to investigate the associations between circulating proteins and all-cause mortality in patients with CKD using large-scale proteomic analysis. The study analyzed data from the African American Study of Kidney Disease and Hypertension (AASK) study and validated the findings in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study. A total of 6,790 circulating proteins were evaluated in AASK, and 7 proteins were significantly associated with all-cause mortality. Three of these proteins (β2-microglobulin, spondin-1, and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)) were also measured in ARIC and were significantly associated with death. Additional studies assessing biomarkers associated with mortality among patients with CKD are needed to evaluate their use in clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Angiopoietins (Ang) are essential angiogenic factors involved in angiogenesis, vascular maturation, and inflammation. The most studied angiopoietins, angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2), behave antagonistically to each other in vivo to sustain vascular endothelium homeostasis. While Ang-1 typically acts as the endothelium-protective mediator, its context-dependent antagonist Ang-2 can promote endothelium permeability and vascular destabilization, hence contributing to a poor outcome in vascular diseases via endothelial injury, vascular dysfunction, and microinflammation. The pathogenesis of kidney diseases is associated with endothelial dysfunction and chronic inflammation in renal diseases. Summary Several preclinical studies report overexpression of Ang-2 in renal tissues of certain kidney disease models; additionally, clinical studies show increased levels of circulating Ang-2 in the course of chronic kidney disease, implying that Ang-2 may serve as a useful biomarker in these patients. However, the exact mechanisms of Ang-2 action in renal diseases remain unclear. Key Messages We summarized the recent findings on Ang-2 in kidney diseases, including preclinical studies and clinical studies, aiming to provide a systematic understanding of the role of Ang-2 in these diseases.

Ventricular function and biomarkers in relation to repair and pulmonary valve replacement for tetralogy of Fallot. Open Heart 2023; 10:openhrt-2022-002238. [PMID: 37024245 PMCID: PMC10083861 DOI: 10.1136/openhrt-2022-002238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2023] [Indexed: 04/08/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiac surgery may cause temporarily impaired ventricular performance and myocardial injury. We aim to characterise the response to perioperative injury for patients undergoing repair or pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) for tetralogy of Fallot (ToF). METHODS We enrolled children undergoing ToF repair or PVR from four tertiary centres in a prospective observational study. Assessment-including blood sampling and speckle tracking echocardiography-occurred before surgery (T1), at the first follow-up (T2) and 1 year after the procedures (T3). Ninety-two serum biomarkers were expressed as principal components to reduce multiple statistical testing. RNA Sequencing was performed on right ventricular (RV) outflow tract samples. RESULTS We included 45 patients with ToF repair aged 4.3 (3.4 - 6.5) months and 16 patients with PVR aged 10.4 (7.8 - 12.7) years. Ventricular function following ToF repair showed a fall-and-rise pattern for left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) (-18±4 to -13±4 to -20±2, p < 0.001 for each comparison) and RV GLS (-19±5 to -14±4 to 20±4, p < 0.002 for each comparison). This pattern was not seen for patients undergoing PVR. Serum biomarkers were expressed as three principal components. These phenotypes are related to: (1) surgery type, (2) uncorrected ToF and (3) early postoperative status. Principal component 3 scores were increased at T2. This increase was higher for ToF repair than PVR. The transcriptomes of RV outflow tract tissue are related to patients' sex, rather than ToF-related phenotypes in a subset of the study population. CONCLUSIONS The response to perioperative injury following ToF repair and PVR is characterised by specific functional and immunological responses. However, we did not identify factors relating to (dis)advantageous recovery from perioperative injury. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER Netherlands Trial Register: NL5129.

Abstract
Heart failure is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the contribution of common genetic variation to heart failure risk has not been fully elucidated, particularly in comparison to other common cardiometabolic traits. We report a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study meta-analysis of all-cause heart failure including up to 115,150 cases and 1,550,331 controls of diverse genetic ancestry, identifying 47 risk loci. We also perform multivariate genome-wide association studies that integrate heart failure with related cardiac magnetic resonance imaging endophenotypes, identifying 61 risk loci. Gene-prioritization analyses including colocalization and transcriptome-wide association studies identify known and previously unreported candidate cardiomyopathy genes and cellular processes, which we validate in gene-expression profiling of failing and healthy human hearts. Colocalization, gene expression profiling, and Mendelian randomization provide convergent evidence for the roles of BCKDHA and circulating branch-chain amino acids in heart failure and cardiac structure. Finally, proteome-wide Mendelian randomization identifies 9 circulating proteins associated with heart failure or quantitative imaging traits. These analyses highlight similarities and differences among heart failure and associated cardiovascular imaging endophenotypes, implicate common genetic variation in the pathogenesis of heart failure, and identify circulating proteins that may represent cardiomyopathy treatment targets.

Inflammation and remodeling pathways and risk of cardiovascular events in patients with ischemic heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. Sci Rep 2022; 12:8574. [PMID: 35595781 PMCID: PMC9123183 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-12385-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Patients with heart failure (HF) and coronary artery disease (CAD) have a high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events including HF hospitalization, stroke, myocardial infarction (MI) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The present study evaluated associations of proteomic biomarkers with CV outcome in patients with CAD and HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), shortly after a worsening HF episode. We performed a case-control study within the COMMANDER HF international, double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial investigating the effects of the factor-Xa inhibitor rivaroxaban. Patients with the following first clinical events: HF hospitalization, SCD and the composite of MI or stroke were matched with corresponding controls for age, sex and study drug. Plasma concentrations of 276 proteins with known associations with CV and cardiometabolic mechanisms were analyzed. Results were corrected for multiple testing using false discovery rate (FDR). In 485 cases and 455 controls, 49 proteins were significantly associated with clinical events of which seven had an adjusted FDR < 0.001 (NT-proBNP, BNP, T-cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing 4 (TIMD4), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23), growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), pulmonary surfactant-associated protein D (PSP-D) and Spondin-1 (SPON1)). No significant interactions were identified between the type of clinical event (MI/stroke, SCD or HFH) and specific biomarkers (all interaction FDR > 0.20). When adding the biomarkers significantly associated with the above outcome to a clinical model (including NT-proBNP), the C-index increase was 0.057 (0.033-0.082), p < 0.0001 and the net reclassification index was 54.9 (42.5 to 67.3), p < 0.0001. In patients with HFrEF and CAD following HF hospitalization, we found that NT-proBNP, BNP, TIMD4, FGF-23, GDF-15, PSP-D and SPON1, biomarkers broadly associated with inflammation and remodeling mechanistic pathways, were strong but indiscriminate predictors of a variety of individual CV events.

Abstract
The aim of our observational study was to derive a small set out of 92 repeatedly measured biomarkers with optimal predictive capacity for adverse clinical events in heart failure, which could be used for dynamic, individual risk assessment in clinical practice. In 250 chronic HFrEF (CHF) patients, we collected trimonthly blood samples during a median of 2.2 years. We selected 537 samples for repeated measurement of 92 biomarkers with the Cardiovascular Panel III (Olink Proteomics AB). We applied Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) penalization to select the optimal set of predictors of the primary endpoint (PE). The association between repeatedly measured levels of selected biomarkers and the PE was evaluated by multivariable joint models (mvJM) with stratified fivefold cross validation of the area under the curve (cvAUC). The PE occurred in 66(27%) patients. The optimal set of biomarkers selected by LASSO included 9 proteins: NT-proBNP, ST2, vWF, FABP4, IGFBP-1, PAI-1, PON-3, transferrin receptor protein-1, and chitotriosidase-1, that yielded a cvAUC of 0.88, outperforming the discriminative ability of models consisting of standard biomarkers (NT-proBNP, hs-TnT, eGFR clinically adjusted) − 0.82 and performing equally well as an extended literature-based set of acknowledged biomarkers (NT-proBNP, hs-TnT, hs-CRP, GDF-15, ST2, PAI-1, Galectin 3) − 0.88. Nine out of 92 serially measured circulating proteins provided a multivariable model for adverse clinical events in CHF patients with high discriminative ability. These proteins reflect wall stress, remodelling, endothelial dysfunction, iron deficiency, haemostasis/fibrinolysis and innate immunity activation. A panel containing these proteins could contribute to dynamic, personalized risk assessment.

Abstract
Today, cardiovascular diseases, due to their widespread prevalence, are among the most relevant biomedical problems in the modern world. The development of cardiovascular comorbidity among patients with diabetes mellitus is of high clinical urgency. Therefore, the study of cardiovascular risk modification among patients with diabetes mellitus is of paramount importance. In the context of the above, the data on the cardiotoxicity of fructose look very alarming since these patients usually use fructose as an affordable alternative to glucose. At the same time, it is an independent inducer of destabilization of cardiovascular homeostasis. Sixty rats were used in the experiment to study this problem. Modeling of fructose-induced overload was performed using a diabetic fructose supplement in an aqueous solution. The collection of herbs "Diabefit" was used as an infusion in addition to feeding highly enriched with fructose. The used markers which reflect the state of the heart and the blood vessels were: MDA, SOD, NO, and ET-1. MDA, ET-1, and NO concentrations demonstrated a significant increase in the fructose overload group and a significant decrease in the Diabefit group. At the same time, changes in SOD level as an indicator of the antioxidant reserve, on the contrary, implied a decrease in the group with a high fructose content and increased in the Diabefit group. All detected changes were associated with fructose-induced inhibition of SOD activity and its restoration using the Diabefit phyto-collection.

Computational Models Used to Predict Cardiovascular Complications in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients: A Systematic Review. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 57:medicina57060538. [PMID: 34072159 PMCID: PMC8227302 DOI: 10.3390/medicina57060538] [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: 04/20/2021] [Revised: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 05/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Background and objectives: cardiovascular complications (CVC) are the leading cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Standard cardiovascular disease risk prediction models used in the general population are not validated in patients with CKD. We aim to systematically review the up-to-date literature on reported outcomes of computational methods such as artificial intelligence (AI) or regression-based models to predict CVC in CKD patients. Materials and methods: the electronic databases of MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, and ScienceDirect were systematically searched. The risk of bias and reporting quality for each study were assessed against transparent reporting of a multivariable prediction model for individual prognosis or diagnosis (TRIPOD) and the prediction model risk of bias assessment tool (PROBAST). Results: sixteen papers were included in the present systematic review: 15 non-randomized studies and 1 ongoing clinical trial. Twelve studies were found to perform AI or regression-based predictions of CVC in CKD, either through single or composite endpoints. Four studies have come up with computational solutions for other CV-related predictions in the CKD population. Conclusions: the identified studies represent palpable trends in areas of clinical promise with an encouraging present-day performance. However, there is a clear need for more extensive application of rigorous methodologies. Following the future prospective, randomized clinical trials, and thorough external validations, computational solutions will fill the gap in cardiovascular predictive tools for chronic kidney disease.

Plasma proteome profiling of cardiotoxicity in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. CARDIO-ONCOLOGY (LONDON, ENGLAND) 2021; 7:6.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular toxicity is a notorious complication of doxorubicin (DXR) therapy for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Although surveillance of well-known biological markers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) as NTproBNP and Troponins may be helpful, there are no established markers to monitor for evolving CVD during treatment. New possibilities have arisen with the emergence of newer techniques allowing for analysis of plasma proteins that can be associated with cardiovascular disease. Proximity Extension Assay is one of them. OBJECTIVES We aimed to illustrate the incidence of CVD in DLBCL patients treated with DXR and to establish whether there are plasma proteins associated with pre-existing or emerging CVD. METHODS In 95 patients, 182 different proteins from OLINK panels, NTproBNP, Troponin I and CRP were assessed prior to, during and after treatment. For comparison, samples from controls were analyzed. RESULTS In the DLBCL cohort, 33.3% had pre-treatment CVD compared to 5.0% in the controls and 23.2% developed new CVD. Of the 32.6% who died during follow up, CVD was the cause in 4 patients. Spondin-1 (SPON-1) correlated to pre-treatment CVD (1.22 fold change, 95% CI 1.10-1.35, p = 0.00025, q = 0.045). Interleukin-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1RT1) was associated to emerging CVD (1.24 fold change, 95% CI 1.10-1.39, p = 0.00044, q = 0.082). CONCLUSION We observed a higher prevalence of CVD in DLBCL patients compared to controls prior to DXR therapy. Two proteins, SPON-1 and IL-1RT1, were related to pre-existing and emerging CVD in DXR treated patients. If confirmed in larger cohorts, IL-1RT1 may emerge as a reliable biomarker for unfolding CVD in DLBCL.

Temporal patterns of macrophage- and neutrophil-related markers are associated with clinical outcome in heart failure patients. ESC Heart Fail 2020; 7:1190-1200. [PMID: 32196993 PMCID: PMC7261550 DOI: 10.1002/ehf2.12678] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2019] [Revised: 02/17/2020] [Accepted: 02/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Evidence on the association of macrophage- and neutrophil-related blood biomarkers with clinical outcome in heart failure patients is limited, and, with the exception of C-reactive protein, no data exist on their temporal evolution. We aimed to investigate whether temporal patterns of these biomarkers are related to clinical outcome in patients with stable chronic heart failure (CHF). METHODS AND RESULTS In 263 patients with CHF, we performed serial plasma measurements of scavenger receptor cysteine-rich type 1 protein M130 (CD163), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase type 5 (TRAP), granulins (GRN), spondin-1 (SPON1), peptidoglycan recognition protein 1 (PGLYRP1), and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI). The Cardiovascular Panel III (Olink Proteomics AB, Uppsala, Sweden) was used. During 2.2 years of follow-up, we collected 1984 samples before the occurrence of the composite primary endpoint (PE) or censoring. For efficiency, we selected 567 samples for the measurements (all baseline samples, the last two samples preceding the PE, and the last sample before censoring in event-free patients). The relationship between repeatedly measured biomarker levels and the PE was evaluated by joint models. Mean (±standard deviation) age was 67 ± 13 years; 189 (72%) were men; left ventricular ejection fraction (%) was 32 ± 11. During follow-up, 70 (27%) patients experienced the PE. Serially measured biomarkers predicted the PE in a multivariable model adjusted for baseline clinical characteristics [hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) per 1-standard deviation change in biomarker]: CD163 [2.07(1.47-2.98), P < 0.001], TRAP [0.62 (0.43-0.90), P = 0.009], GRN [2.46 (1.64-3.84), P < 0.001], SPON1 [3.94 (2.50-6.50), P < 0.001], and PGLYRP1 [1.62 (1.14-2.31), P = 0.006]. CONCLUSIONS Changes in plasma levels of CD163, TRAP, GRN, SPON1, and PGLYRP1 precede adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CHF.
