The Key Role of Uric Acid in Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, Fibrosis, Apoptosis, and Immunity in the Pathogenesis of Atrial Fibrillation.

ABSTRACT: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a highly prevalent cardiac arrhythmia that leads to numerous adverse outcomes including stroke, heart failure, and death. Hyperuricemia is an important risk factor that contributes to atrium injury and AF, but the underlying molecular mechanism remains to be elucidated. In this review, we discussed the scientific evidence for clarifying the role of hyperuricemia in the pathogenesis of AF. Experimental and Clinical evidence endorse hyperuricemia as an independent risk factor for the incidence of AF. Various in vivo and in vitro investigations showed that hyperuricemia might play a critical role in the pathogenesis of AF at different UA concentrations through the activation of oxidative stress, inflammation, fibrosis, apoptosis, and immunity.

Project description:Background & aimsElevated liver stiffness has been associated with atrial fibrillation (AFib) in the general population. The mechanism underlying this association is unclear.MethodsParticipants were recruited from the general population and prospectively enrolled with follow-up for 5 years. The fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index was used as a surrogate marker for liver fibrosis. Proteomics analysis was performed using the 92-target Olink inflammation panel. Validation was performed using the NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), aspartate aminotransferase to platelet index (APRI), and repeat confirmation proteomics.ResultsA sample of 11,509 participants with a mean age of 54.0 ± 11.1 years, 51.3% women, and a median FIB-4 index of 0.85 (0.65/1.12), was used. The FIB-4 index was predictive for prevalent (FIB-4 index adjusted odds ratio (aOR) per SD: 1.100 with 95% CI 1.011-1.196; p = 0.026), but not incident AFib (log[FIB-4 index]) adjusted hazard ratio: 1.125 with 95% CI 0.943-1.342, p = 0.19). Elastic net regularized regression identified CCL20, DNER, and CXCL10 for prevalent AFib, and AXIN1, CXCL10, and Flt3L for the log(FIB-4 index) (per SD) as most important in common regulated proteins. The relationship between the FIB-4 index, the identified proteins, and AFib was relevant and reproduced at the 5-year follow-up for CXCL10 after adjusting for confounders (log[FIB-4 index] per SD - CXCL10 [per SD] adjusted β 0.160 with 95% CI 0.127-0.194, p <0.0001; CXCL10 [per SD] - AFib aOR 1.455 with 95% CI 1.217-1.741, p <0.0001), reproduced using the NFS and APRI, and corresponding to increased serum levels.ConclusionsCXCL10 is linked to liver fibrosis, as determined by the FIB-4 index, and to prevalent AFib.Impact and implicationsHow elevated liver stiffness relates to atrial fibrillation in the general population remains to be clarified. We hypothesized that systemic inflammation against a background of liver fibrosis produced from metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is involved in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation. Using large-scale targeted proteomics, we found that CXCL10 is related to both liver fibrosis, as defined by the fibrosis-4 index, and to atrial fibrillation. These results can aid evidence-based drug development for patients with atrial fibrillation and MASLD-related liver fibrosis.
