Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a major cause of ischemic stroke, and early detection of advanced atherosclerosis in the carotid artery is important for reducing morbidity and mortality. What is even more important is not only detection of atherosclerosis but early determination whether the patients are at high risk of an event with adverse effects as the size of the plaque does not necessarily reflect its potential to trigger such events. AIM We studied whether plasma lipidomics profile can be used as a diagnostic tool for stratification of stable or unstable plaques without the need of removing the carotid plaque. METHODS This study used liquid chromatography high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry lipidomics to characterize lipid profiles in patients' plasma and found that patients with significant and complicated (vulnerable) atherosclerotic plaque had distinct lipid profiles compared to those with insignificant plaques. RESULTS The lipid classes that were most predictive of vulnerable plaque were lysophosphoethanolamines, fatty acyl esters of hydroxy fatty acids, free fatty acids, plasmalogens, and triacylglycerols. Most of these compounds were found decreased in plasma of patients with unstable plaques which enabled sufficient performance of a statistical model used for patient stratification. CONCLUSIONS Plasma lipidomes measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry show differences in patients with stable and unstable carotid plaques, therefore these compounds could potentially be used as biomarkers for unstable plaque in future clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
The goal of lipidomic studies is to provide a broad characterization of cellular lipids present and changing in a sample of interest. Recent lipidomic research has significantly contributed to revealing the multifaceted roles that lipids play in fundamental cellular processes, including signaling, energy storage, and structural support. Furthermore, these findings have shed light on how lipids dynamically respond to various perturbations. Continued advancement in analytical techniques has also led to improved abilities to detect and identify novel lipid species, resulting in increasingly large datasets. Statistical analysis of these datasets can be challenging not only because of their vast size, but also because of the highly correlated data structure that exists due to many lipids belonging to the same metabolic or regulatory pathways. Interpretation of these lipidomic datasets is also hindered by a lack of current biological knowledge for the individual lipids. These limitations can therefore make lipidomic data analysis a daunting task. To address these difficulties and shed light on opportunities and also weaknesses in current tools, we have assembled this review. Here, we illustrate common statistical approaches for finding patterns in lipidomic datasets, including univariate hypothesis testing, unsupervised clustering, supervised classification modeling, and deep learning approaches. We then describe various bioinformatic tools often used to biologically contextualize results of interest. Overall, this review provides a framework for guiding lipidomic data analysis to promote a greater assessment of lipidomic results, while understanding potential advantages and weaknesses along the way.

Abstract
Background: Predicting stroke risk in patients with carotid artery stenosis (CS) remains challenging. Circulating biomarkers seem to provide improvements with respect to risk stratification. Methods: Study patients who underwent carotid endarterectomy were categorized into four groups according to symptomatology and compared as follows: symptomatic with asymptomatic patients; and asymptomatic patients including amaurosis fugax (AF) (asymptomatic + AF group) with patients with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or brain stroke (BS) (hemispheric brain stroke group). Carotid specimens were histologically analyzed and classified based on the American Heart Classification (AHA) standard. As a marker of OS, the plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Comparisons of MDA plasma levels between groups were analyzed. Results: In total, 35 patients were included in the study. There were 22 (63%) patients in the asymptomatic group and 13 (37%) in the symptomatic group. Atheromatous plaque (p = 0.03) and old hemorrhage (p = 0.05), fibrous plaque (p = 0.04), myxoid changes (p = 0.02), plaques without hemorrhage (p = 0.04), significant neovascularization (p = 0.04) and AHA classification (p = 0.006) had significant correlations with clinical presentation. There were 26 (74%) patients in the asymptomatic group and 9 (26%) in the hemispheric brain stroke group. Atheromatous plaque (p = 0.02), old hemorrhage (p = 0.05) and plaques without neovascularization (p = 0.02), fibrous plaque (p = 0.03), plaques without hemorrhage (p = 0.02) and AHA classification (p = 0.01) had significant correlations with clinical presentation. There was no significant difference between symptomatic and asymptomatic groups with respect to MDA plasma levels (p = 0.232). A significant difference was observed when MDA plasma levels were compared to asymptomatic + AF and the hemispheric stroke group (p = 0.002). Conclusions: MDA plasma level correlates with the risk of hemispheric stroke (TIA or BS) and is a reliable marker of plaque vulnerability in carotid artery stenosis.

Abstract
Transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) before an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) could induce ischemic tolerance (IT) phenomena. with an endogenous neuroprotective role (Ischemic preconditioning. IPC). A consecutive prospective cohort of patients with AIS were recruited from 8 different hospitals. Participants were classified by those with non-previous recent TIA vs. previous TIA (within seven days. TIA ≤7d). A total of 541 AIS patients were recruited. 40 (7.4%). of them had previous TIA ≤7d. In line with IPC. patients with TIA ≤7d showed: 1) a significantly less severe stroke at admission by NIHSS score. 2) a better outcome at 7-90 days follow-up and reduced infarct volumes. 3) a specific upregulated metabolomics/lipidomic profile composed of diverse lipid categories. Effectively. IPC activates an additional adaptive response on increasing circulation levels of structural and bioactive lipids to facilitate functional recovery after AIS which may support biochemical machinery for neuronal survival. Furthermore. previous TIA before AIS seems to facilitate the production of anti-inflammatory mediators that contribute to a better immune response. Thus. the IT phenomena contributes to a better adaptation of further ischemia. Our study provides first-time evidence of a metabolomics/lipidomic signature related to the development of stroke tolerance in AIS patients induced by recent TIA.

Abstract
Vascular remodeling contributes to the development of a variety of vascular diseases including hypertension and atherosclerosis. Phenotypic transformation of vascular cells, oxidative stress, inflammation and vascular calcification are closely associated with vascular remodeling. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are naturally released from almost all types of cells and can be detected in nearly all body fluids including blood and urine. EVs affect vascular oxidative stress, inflammation, calcification, and lipid plaque formation; and thereby impact vascular remodeling in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. EVs may be used as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis, and therapeutic strategies for vascular remodeling and cardiovascular diseases. This review includes a comprehensive analysis of the roles of EVs in the vascular remodeling in vascular diseases, and the prospects of EVs in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases.

Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12070587. [PMID: 35888709 PMCID: PMC9324768 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12070587] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 06/13/2022] [Accepted: 06/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/08/2022] Open
Abstract
Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease with a dismal prognosis. Inflammation plays an important role in AD. Oxylipins are bioactive lipids involved in the modulation of inflammation and may be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of AD. This study aims to identify possible metabolites related to AD. A total of 10 type A Aortic dissection (TAAD) patients, 10 type B Aortic dissection (TBAD) patients and 10 healthy controls were included in this study. Over 100 oxylipin species were identified and quantified by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Our investigation demonstrated substantial alterations in 91 oxylipins between AD and healthy individuals. Patients with TAAD had 89 entries accessible compared to healthy controls. According to orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), fitness (R2X = 0.362 and R2Y = 0.807, p = 0.03) and predictability (Q2 = 0.517, p = 0.005) are the validation parameters between the two groups. Using multivariate logistic regression, 13-HOTrE and 16(17)-EpDPE were the risk factors in the aortic patients group compared to healthy people (OR = 2.467, 95%CI:1.256–7.245, p = 0.035; OR = 0.015, 95%CI:0.0002–0.3240, p = 0.016, respectively). In KEGG enrichment of differential metabolites, the arachidonic acid metabolism pathway has the most metabolites involved. We established a diagnostic model in distinguishing between AD and healthy people. The AUC was 0.905. Oxylipins were significantly altered in AD patients, suggesting oxylipin profile is expected to exploit a novel, non-invasive, objective diagnosis for AD.

Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are structural components of membrane phospholipids, and influence cellular function via effects on membrane properties, and also by acting as a precursor pool for lipid mediators. These lipid mediators are formed via activation of pathways involving at least one step of dioxygen-dependent oxidation, and are consequently called oxylipins. Their biosynthesis can be either enzymatically-dependent, utilising the promiscuous cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase, or cytochrome P450 mixed function oxidase pathways, or nonenzymatic via free radical-catalyzed pathways. The oxylipins include the classical eicosanoids, comprising prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes, and also more recently identified lipid mediators. With the advent of new technologies there is growing interest in identifying these different lipid mediators and characterising their roles in health and disease. This review brings together contributions from some of those at the forefront of research into lipid mediators, who provide brief introductions and summaries of current understanding of the structure and functions of the main classes of nonclassical oxylipins. The topics covered include omega-3 and omega-6 PUFA biosynthesis pathways, focusing on the roles of the different fatty acid desaturase enzymes, oxidized linoleic acid metabolites, omega-3 PUFA-derived specialized pro-resolving mediators, elovanoids, nonenzymatically oxidized PUFAs, and fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids.

Abstract
Lipids modified by oxidative stress are key players in atherosclerosis progression. Superimposed thrombosis with subsequent closure of the coronary artery leads to the clinical manifestation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). While several studies focusing on alterations in lipid metabolism in the acute phase have been conducted, no information is available on patients’ lipidome alterations over longer time periods. In the current follow-up study, we analyzed plasma samples obtained from 17 patients three years after their ACS event (group AC). Originally, these patients were sampled 3–5 days after an index event (group B). Lipidome stability over time was studied by untargeted lipidomics using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC–HRMS). Multi-dimensional statistics used for data processing indicated that plasmalogen lipids were the most prominent lipids separating the above patient groups and that they increased in the follow-up AC group. A similar trend was observed for lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The opposite trend was observed for two fatty acyls of hydroxy fatty acid (FAHFAs) lipids and free stearic acid. In addition, a decrease in the “classic” oxitadive stress marker, malondialdehyde (MDA), occurred during the follow-up period. Our findings present unique information about long-term lipidome changes in patients after ACS.

Abstract
Over the last thirty years, evidence has been accumulating that Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP) and, specifically, Preeclampsia (PE) produce not only long-term effects on the pregnant woman, but have also lasting consequences for the fetus. At the core of these consequences is the phenomenon known as defective deep placentation, being present in virtually every major obstetrical syndrome. The profound placental vascular lesions characteristic of this pathology can induce long-term adverse consequences for the pregnant woman's entire arterial system. In addition, placental growth restriction and function can, in turn, cause a decreased blood supply to the fetus, with long-lasting effects. Women with a history of HDP have an increased risk of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) compared with women with normal pregnancies. Specifically, these subjects are at a future higher risk of: Hypertension; Coronary artery disease; Heart failure; Peripheral vascular disease; Cerebrovascular accidents (Stroke); CVD-related mortality. Vascular pathology in pregnancy and CVD may share a common etiology and may have common risk factors, which are unmasked by the "stress" of pregnancy. It is also possible that the future occurrence of a CVD may be the consequence of endothelial dysfunction generated by pregnancy-induced hypertension that persists after delivery. Although biochemical and biophysical markers of PE abound, information on markers for a comparative evaluation in the various groups is still lacking. Long-term consequences for the fetus are an integral part of the theory of a fetal origin of a number of adult diseases, known as the Barker hypothesis. Indeed, intrauterine malnutrition and fetal growth restriction represent significant risk factors for the development of chronic hypertension, diabetes, stroke and death from coronary artery disease in adults. Other factors will also influence the development later in life of hypertension, coronary and myocardial disease; they include parental genetic disposition, epigenetic modifications, endothelial dysfunction, concurrent intrauterine exposures, and the lifestyle of the affected individual.
