Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Associated Myocardial Diastolic Dysfunction and Soluble ST2 Concentration in Tanzanian Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The aims of this study were (1) to compare the prevalence of myocardial diastolic dysfunction (DD) in antiretroviral therapy (ART)-naive people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-uninfected adults in East Africa and (2) to determine the association between serum concentration of the cardiac biomarkers ST2 and DD.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled PLWH and uninfected adults at a referral HIV clinic in Mwanza, Tanzania. Standardized history, echocardiography, and serum were obtained. Regression models were used to quantify associations.

Results

We enrolled 388 ART-naive PLWH and 461 HIV-uninfected adults with an average age of 36.0 ± 10.2 years. Of PLWH in the third, fourth, and fifth decades of life, 5.0%, 12.5%, and 32.7%, respectively, had DD. PLWH had a higher prevalence of DD (adjusted odds ratio, 2.71 [95% confidence interval, 1.62-4.55]; P < .0001). PLWH also had a higher probability of dysfunction with one or fewer traditional risk factors present. Serum ST2 concentration was associated with dysfunction in PLWH but not uninfected participants (P = .04 and P = .90, respectively).

Conclusions

In a large population of young adults in sub-Saharan Africa, DD prevalence increased starting in the third decade of life. HIV was independently associated with dysfunction. Serum ST2 concentration was associated with DD in PLWH but not HIV-uninfected participants. This pathway may provide insight into the mechanisms of HIV-associated dysfunction.

Project description:BackgroundRecent studies have shown that loss-of-function mutations in hepatic asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) are associated with low levels of circulating cholesterol and a reduced risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). In contrast to ASGR1 on the hepatocyte membrane, serum soluble ASGR1 (sASGR1) is a secreted form that has been detected in circulation. However, the functions of serum sASGR1 are unclear. This study aims to investigate the relationship between human serum sASGR1 concentration and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels.MethodsIn a cohort of 134 participants who underwent coronary angiography examination, basic information was recorded, and blood samples were collected for biochemical testing. The serum sASGR1 concentration was determined by ELISA kits. The relationship between sASGR1 concentration and LDL-C levels was examined using linear regression models and interaction tests. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify clinical variables that affect sASGR1 levels.ResultsAfter adjusting for potential confounders such as age, sex, BMI, and statin use, the serum sASGR1 concentration was positively correlated with LDL-C levels (β = 0.093, 95% CI: 0.04 to 0.14, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis and interaction tests showed that the effect of serum sASGR1 concentration on LDL-C levels was significantly influenced by hypertension status (P for interaction = 0.0067). The results of a multivariate linear regression analysis incorporating age, serum TG, LDL-C, nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA), white blood cell counts (WBCC), and fibrinogen revealed that LDL-C (β = 1.005, 95% CI: 0.35 to 1.66, P = 0.003) and WBCC (β = 0.787, 95% CI: 0.41 to 1.16, P < 0.0001) were independent influencing factors for serum sASGR1 levels.ConclusionsThe serum sASGR1 concentration was positively correlated with LDL-C levels. In addition, hypertension status significantly affected the effect of serum sASGR1 on LDL-C levels. This study provides some research ideas for clinical doctors and researchers, as well as some references for additional research on serum sASGR1.

Project description:Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the most essential cardiovascular complications in diabetic patients associated with glucose and lipid metabolism disorder, fibrosis, oxidative stress, and inflammation in cardiomyocytes. Despite increasing research on the molecular pathogenesis of DCM, it is still unclear whether metabolic pathways and alterations are probably involved in the development of DCM. This study aims to characterize the metabolites of DCM and to identify the relationship between metabolites and their biological processes or biological states through untargeted metabolic profiling. UPLC-MS/MS was applied to profile plasma metabolites from 78 patients with diabetes (39 diabetes with DCM and 39 diabetes without DCM as controls). A total of 2,806 biochemical were detected. Compared to those of DM patients, 78 differential metabolites in the positive-ion mode were identified in DCM patients, including 33 up-regulated and 45 down-regulated metabolites; however, there were only six differential metabolites identified in the negative mode including four up-regulated and two down-regulated metabolites. Alterations of several serum metabolites, including lipids and lipid-like molecules, organic acids and derivatives, organic oxygen compounds, benzenoids, phenylpropanoids and polyketides, and organoheterocyclic compounds, were associated with the development of DCM. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that there were three signaling pathways (metabolic pathways, porphyrin, chlorophyll metabolism, and lysine degradation) that were changed in both negative- and positive-ion modes. Our results demonstrated that differential metabolites and lipids have specific effects on DCM. These results expanded our understanding of the metabolic characteristics of DCM and may provide a clue in the future investigation of reducing the incidence of DCM. Furthermore, the metabolites identified here may provide clues for clinical management and the development of effective drugs.
