Diagnostic and Prognostic Role of Circulating microRNAs in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease-Impact on Left Ventricle and Arterial Function. Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:8499-8511. [PMID: 39194717 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46080500] [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: 07/15/2024] [Revised: 07/30/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Recent studies reported that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) can target different metalloproteases (MMPs) involved in matrix remodeling and plaque vulnerability. Consequently, they might have a role in the diagnosis and prognosis of coronary artery disease. To quantify circulating miRNAs (miRNA126, miRNA146, and miRNA21) suggested to have possible cardiovascular implications, as well as levels of MMP-1 and MMP-9, and to determine their association with left ventricular (LV) function and with arterial function, in patients with either ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) or stable ischemic heart disease (SIHD). A total of 90 patients with coronary artery disease (61% men, 58 ± 12 years), including 60 patients with STEMI and 30 patients with SIHD, were assessed within 24 h of admission, by measuring serum microRNAs, and serum MMP-1 and MMP-9. LV function was assessed by measuring ejection fraction (EF) by 2D and 3D echocardiography, and global longitudinal strain (GLS) by speckle tracking. Arterial function was assessed by echo tracking, CAVI, and peripheral Doppler. Circulating levels of miRNA146, miRNA21, and MMP1 were significantly increased in patients with STEMI vs. SIHD (p = 0.0001, p = 0.0001, p = 0.04, respectively). MiRNA126 negatively correlated with LVEF (r = -0.33, p = 0.01) and LV deformation parameters (r = -0.31, p = 0.03) in patients with STEMI and negatively correlated with ABI parameters (r = -0.39, p = 0.03, r = -0.40, p = 0.03, respectively) in patients with SIHD. MiRNA146 did not have any significant correlations, while higher values of miRNA21 were associated with lower values of GLS in STEMI patients and with higher values of GLS in SIHD patients. Both MMP1 and MMP9 correlated negatively with LVEF (r = -0.27, p = 0.04, r = -0.40, p = 0.001, respectively) and GLS in patients with STEMI, and positively with arterial stiffness in patients with SIHD (r = 0.40 and r = 0.32, respectively; both p < 0.05). MiRNA126, miRNA21, and both MMP1 and MMP9 are associated with LV and arterial function parameters in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Meanwhile, they inversely correlate with arterial function in patients with chronic atherosclerotic disease. However, further studies are needed to establish whether these novel biomarkers have diagnosis and prognosis significance.

Li C, Cai Q. Two ferroptosis-specific expressed genes NOX4 and PARP14 are considered as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of diabetic retinopathy and atherosclerosis. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2024; 16:61. [PMID: 38443950 PMCID: PMC10913658 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-024-01301-3] [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: 01/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/07/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Both Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and Atherosclerosis (AS) are common complications in patients with diabetes, and they share major pathophysiological similarities and have a common pathogenesis. Studies performed to date have demonstrated that ferroptosis plays a vital part in the occurrence and development of DR and AS, but its mechanism in the two diseases remains poorly understood. METHODS DR Chip data (GSE60436 and GSE102485) and AS chip data (GSE100927 and GSE57691) were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The screening of the differential expression genes (DEGs) was analyzed using the limma package, and the genes related to ferroptosis were obtained from the FerrDb V2 database. Two key genes (NOX4 and PARP14) were identified through external datasets validation and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Gene Ontology (GO) and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) were used to conduct a functional enrichment analysis, and miRNA-mRNA networks were established. The CIBERSORT algorithm was applied to identify the immune cell infiltration between the disease group and control group. Next, the correlations between key genes and infiltrating immune cells were investigated by the Spearman method. Finally, the correlation between 2 key genes and ferroptosis markers was confirmed. RESULTS Nine ferroptosis differentially expressed genes (DE-FRGs) between DR and AS were identified in this study. NOX4 and PARP14 were selected as key genes for further analysis by external datasets and ROC curve analysis. The key genes NOX4, PARP14 and their correlated genes (such as CYBA, NOX1, NOX3, CYBB, PARP9, PARP10, and PARP15) are mainly enriched in oxidoreductase activity, protein ADP-ribosylation, superoxide metabolic process, reactive oxygen species metabolic process, PID pathway, and VEGFA-VEGFR2 pathway. A miRNA-mRNA network was constructed, and we got 12 miRNAs correlated with the target gene NOX4, 38 miRNAs correlated with the target gene PARP14. Three common miRNAs (hsa-miR-1-3p, hsa-miR-129-2-3p, and hsa-miR-155-5p) were observed in the network. Immune infiltration analysis displayed that activated B cell, MDSC, and Type 17 T helper cell are the common immune cells involved in the immune infiltration process of DR and AS. The results revealed that there are significant correlations between two key genes and most ferroptosis marker genes no matter in DR or AS. CONCLUSION Ferroptosis-related genes NOX4 and PARP14 may be common biomarkers of DR and AS. Both were associated with immune infiltration in patients with DR and AS. Our data provide a theoretical basis for the early diagnosis and immunotherapy of the two diseases.

Sex-specific association between carotid atherosclerosis and fundus arteriosclerosis in a Chinese population: a retrospective cross-sectional study. Eur J Med Res 2023; 28:518. [PMID: 37968750 PMCID: PMC10648731 DOI: 10.1186/s40001-023-01508-6] [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: 05/08/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Vascular stiffening is highly predictive of major adverse cardiovascular events. It is not clear whether microangiopathy, such as fundus arteriosclerosis, is related to carotid atherosclerosis. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and fundus arteriosclerosis among individuals of different sexes in the Chinese health-examination population. METHODS This retrospective cross-sectional study involved 20,836 participants, including 13050 males and 7786 females. All participants underwent a detailed health examination, including medical history assessment, physical examination, assessment of lifestyle factors, fundus photography, Doppler ultrasound examination of the neck, and laboratory examinations. Two trained ophthalmologists analysed fundus arteriosclerosis based on fundus photographs, while carotid atherosclerosis was diagnosed using colour Doppler sonography of the neck. Binary logistic regression was used to analyse the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and fundus arteriosclerosis. RESULTS In participants with fundus arteriosclerosis, the incidence of carotid atherosclerosis was higher than that of participants without fundus arteriosclerosis (52.94% vs. 47.06%). After adjustments for potential confounding factors, fundus arteriosclerosis was significantly associated with the risk of carotid atherosclerosis. The OR with 95% CI for fundus arteriosclerosis was 1.17 (1.02, 1.34) with p = 0.0262, and individuals who did not have fundus arteriosclerosis were used as a reference in the total population. Fundus arteriosclerosis was associated with the incidence of carotid atherosclerosis in males (p = 0.0005) but not in females (p = 0.0746). CONCLUSIONS Fundus arteriosclerosis was closely associated with carotid atherosclerosis in the Chinese population. This association was found in males but not in females.

[DOI: 10.1186/s43088-023-00384-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2022] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/11/2024] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Type 2 Diabetes Miletus (T2DM) is a common metabolic and lifestyle disorder leading to increased oxidative stress and DNA damage. The present study aims to evaluate the feasibility of utilizing the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay (CBMN) as a biomarker for assessing the DNA damage induced due to variations in oxidative stress.
Methodology
The study group includes diabetic (n = 50) and non-diabetic (n = 50) subjects. The assays for the diabetes-like fasting blood sugar, postprandial glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), lipid profiling, and serum ferritin level along with c-reactive protein (CRP) were applied. Further, the CBMN assay was performed to evaluate the micronuclei present in the lymphocytes of control and T2DM groups.
Results
Significant imbalance in the glycaemic index, dyslipidemia, increased ferritin levels, and CRP levels, with a significant increase of micronucleus frequency, was found in T2DM patients compared with the control group. Results suggest a trend of positive correlation between HbA1c and the micronuclei, indicating the assay’s potential importance as a biomarker for T2DM-induced risk assessment.
Conclusion
From the observed results, it can be suggested that the CBMN assay could be used to assess the risk of oxidative stress-induced DNA damage in high glycaemic index diabetic patients.

Abstract
Optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) provides a detailed visualization of the vascular system to aid in the detection and diagnosis of ophthalmic disease. However, accurately extracting microvascular details from OCTA images remains a challenging task due to the limitations of pure convolutional networks. We propose a novel end-to-end transformer-based network architecture called TCU-Net for OCTA retinal vessel segmentation tasks. To address the loss of vascular features of convolutional operations, an efficient cross-fusion transformer module is introduced to replace the original skip connection of U-Net. The transformer module interacts with the encoder's multiscale vascular features to enrich vascular information and achieve linear computational complexity. Additionally, we design an efficient channel-wise cross attention module to fuse the multiscale features and fine-grained details from the decoding stages, resolving the semantic bias between them and enhancing effective vascular information. This model has been evaluated on the dedicated Retinal OCTA Segmentation (ROSE) dataset. The accuracy values of TCU-Net tested on the ROSE-1 dataset with SVC, DVC, and SVC+DVC are 0.9230, 0.9912, and 0.9042, respectively, and the corresponding AUC values are 0.9512, 0.9823, and 0.9170. For the ROSE-2 dataset, the accuracy and AUC are 0.9454 and 0.8623, respectively. The experiments demonstrate that TCU-Net outperforms state-of-the-art approaches regarding vessel segmentation performance and robustness.

Diabetic retinopathy predicts cardiovascular disease independently of subclinical atherosclerosis in individuals with type 2 diabetes: A prospective cohort study. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:945421. [PMID: 36407461 PMCID: PMC9668891 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.945421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/19/2022] [Indexed: 01/29/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic retinopathy (DR) and preclinical atherosclerosis are associated with higher cardiovascular risk. However, no studies have investigated the predictive role of DR and preclinical atherosclerosis jointly on cardiovascular events in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We aimed to assess the contribution of DR and subclinical atherosclerosis on the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in subjects with T2D without previous cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS We included two prospective cohorts of subjects with T2D from the same geographical area. Assessment of subclinical atherosclerosis was performed by carotid ultrasound. An ophthalmologist classified DR according to standard criteria. Cardiovascular outcomes considered for analysis were the following: ischemic heart disease, stroke, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, revascularization procedures, and cardiovascular mortality. Bivariable and multivariable predictive models were performed. RESULTS From a total of 374 subjects with T2D 44 developed cardiovascular events during the 7.1 years of follow-up. Diabetes duration, total cholesterol, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) at baseline were higher in subjects who developed cardiovascular outcomes (p < 0.001, p = 0.026, and p = 0.040, respectively). Compared with subjects without events, those developing cardiovascular events had higher prevalence of retinopathy (65.9% vs. 38.8%, p = 0.001; respectively) and more than mild retinopathy (43.2% vs. 31.8%, p = 0.002; respectively). Furthermore, all-cause mortality was higher in subjects with MACE than those without events (13.6% vs. 3.3%, p = 0.009; respectively). The multivariable analyses showed that HbA1c and the presence of DR at baseline were predictive of cardiovascular outcomes (p = 0.045 and p = 0.023, respectively). However, the burden of subclinical atherosclerosis was not (p = 0.783 and p = 0.071, respectively). CONCLUSION DR is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events in T2D individuals at primary CVD prevention, even after accounting for the presence of preclinical carotid atherosclerosis. These results may help to individualize CVD prevention strategies in T2D.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess whether the advanced characteristics of serum lipoprotein subclasses could better predict the risk of developing diabetic retinopathy (DR) and its severity compared to other established risk factors in subjects with type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes. This observational, cross-sectional substudy analyzed DR-related data from 309 T1D and 264 T2D subjects. The advanced lipoprotein and glycoprotein profile was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (Liposcale test). NMR analysis of lipoproteins revealed that T1D subjects with DR showed standard non-HDL particles, despite higher IDL lipid concentrations. Notably, IDL lipids were elevated in T1D subjects with worsened DR. VLDL and LDL were smaller, whereas HDL triglycerides were increased in DR compared with non-DR. On the other hand, the T2D subjects with DR showed altered characteristics in the LDL fraction, mainly revealed by a significant decrease in smaller LDL and a reduction in LDL-C. Moreover, the glycoprotein profile did not reveal significant changes among DR groups, regardless of the type of diabetes. However, lipoprotein characteristics and glycoproteins unveiled by NMR analysis did not improve the predictive value of conventional lipids or other traditional, well-established biomarkers of DR in our cohorts.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) and increased arterial stiffness predictors in patients with carbohydrate metabolism disorders (CMD) in the population sample of Russian Federation. Methods: 1617 patients (age 25–64 years) were enrolled in an observational cross-sectional study Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases and Their Risk Factors in the Regions of the Russian Federation (ESSE-RF). The standard ESSE-RF protocol has been extended to measure the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), a marker of arterial stiffness. Patients were divided into three groups: patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 272), patients with prediabetes (n = 44), and persons without CMD (n = 1301). Results: Median CAVI was higher in diabetes and prediabetes groups compared with group without CMD (p = 0.009 and p < 0.001, respectively). Elevated CAVI (≥9.0) was detected in 16.8% of diabetes patients, in 15.9% of those with prediabetes, and in 9.0% of those without CMD (p < 0.001). The factors affecting on CAVI did not differ in CVD groups. In logistic regression the visceral obesity, increasing systolic blood pressure (SBP) and decreasing glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were associated with a pathological CAVI in CMD patients, and age, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and cholesterol in persons without CMD. Conclusions: the CAVI index values in the prediabetes and diabetes patients were higher than in normoglycemic persons in a population sample of the Russian Federation. Since the identified disorders of arterial stiffness in prediabetes are similar to those in diabetes, their identification is important to prevent further cardiovascular complications.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications are seriously affecting public health worldwide. Myocardial infarction (MI) is the primary cause of death in patients with T2DM. T2DM patients without a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) have the same risk of major coronary events as those with CAD; T2DM patients with a history of MI have >40% risk of recurrence of MI. Thus, CAD in patients with T2DM needs to be treated actively to reduce the risk of MI. The cardiology community focused on the role of T2DM in the development of CAD and on the related issues of T2DM and MI with respect to comorbidities, prognosis, drug therapy, and heredity. In this mini review, the latest progress of clinical evidence-based research between T2DM and MI in recent years was reviewed, and the possible research directions in this field were considered and prospected.

METHODS The study included 194 elderly patients (94 males and 100 females) with T2DM. Digital retinal photography as well as fundus fluorescein angiography was employed to distinguish between nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR) and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). In addition, multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the correlation between serum IL-17A levels and DR status. RESULTS The average age of the study cohort was 69.14 ± 6.33 years, of which 52.08% were male. The study participants with the highest IL-17A (Q4) levels had higher TC, DBP, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) values than those the other groups. Analysis using unadjusted and adjusted linear regression revealed that the effect size of 1.09 for DR in the unadjusted model indicates that IL-17A is associated with an increase of 1.09 in DR (mmol/L) (β 1.09, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.03, 1.16). Using the minimum-adjusted model (the model 2), as IL-17A increased, DR was higher by 1.11 (β 1.11, 95% CI 1.04, 1.18). With the fully adjusted model (the model 3), for each additional IL-17A increase, DR was higher by 1.15 (β 1.15, 95% CI 1.06, 1.24). CONCLUSION Serum IL-17A levels are apparently positively correlated to DR in Chinese elderly individuals with T2DM.
