Backgraund: Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary artery disease (CAD), in particular. Obesity lead to several fibrotic processes, including activation of transforming growth factor (TGF-). Recent data indicate the involvement of Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) as an important metabolic regulator, and even biomarker of metabolic changes in obesity and T2DM. Impact of metabolic dysregulation that accompany obesity and T2DM in CAD development remain a great challenge. Aims: To study TGF- and FGF-21 level in patients with obesity and T2DM. Materials and methods: TGF- and FGF-21 were identified in peripheral blood samples of 66 patients with obesity, aged 48-65 years. 1st group included 21 patients with CHD and T2DM; 2nd group (22 patients)- with T2DM and excluded CHD; 3rd group (20 patients) with normal glucose metabolism and excluded CHD. Results: TGF- was lower in patients with CHD (group 1) than in the group of "metabolically healthy" obesity (p=0.022). TGF- in patients with T2DM negatively correlated with LDL cholesterol (r=-0.426, p=0.038) the degree of internal carotid artery stenosis (r=-0.426, p=0.024). Patients with verified CHD had a negative correlation with the processes of heart muscle remodeling (thickness of the left ventricular posterior wall (r=- 0.386, p=0.029) interventricular septum (r=-0.335, p=0.031). All patients with obesity had significantly increased level of FGF-21 compared with the control group (p=0.031) FGF-21 positively correlated with BMI (r=0.473, p=0.033) Conclusions: TGF- has negative correlations with the factors that can influence prognosis and the severity of the CVD/. There were found correlations of FGF-21, TGF- with pathological angiogenesis and changes in normal cardiac geometry in obesity, T2DM and CAD.

Aim. To study the structural and functional myocardial characteristics in patients with exertional angina and type 2 diabetes in comparison with those without diabetes to identify combined hemodynamic changes.Material and methods. Patients were divided into two groups depen - ding on the glycemic status. The first group consisted of 49 patients (mean age, 57,9±1,04 years; male/female, 35/14) with coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes, while the second one (control)  — 51 patients (60,2±0,9 years, 34/17) with CAD and without diabetes. Patients were surveyed using a standard questionnaire that included socio-demographic parameters, behavioral risk factors, clinical status, medications received, and comorbidities. Diagnostic investigations were carried out, including resting electrocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography and cycle ergometry.Results. Among patients with CAD and type 2 diabetes, hypertension occurred 20% more often compared with the control group  — 98 vs 78% (p<0,004). According to the electrocardiography, the combination of diabetes and CAD was characterized by various arrhythmias, which were recorded 2,8 times more often than in the group without diabetes. According to echocardiography, signs of left ventricular hypertrophy, systolic and diastolic dysfunction prevailed in people with diabetes. Mean pulmonary artery pressure in patients with diabetes were higher than in patients without carbohydrate metabolism disorders (p<0,004). According to the stress test, exercise tolerance in experimental group patients was lower than in patients in the control group.Conclusion. The combination of chronic CAD and type 2 diabetes is cha - racterized by a more common combination with hypertension, impaired central and intracardiac hemodynamics, as well as left ventricular hypertrophy. In people with diabetes, impaired systolic and diastolic myocardial function is combined with reduced exercise tolerance.

Objective: The objective of this study was to investigate the association between proinflammatory cytokines in special, the interleukin-6 (IL-6), and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) levels in coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: This study was conducted from November 2017 to March 2018 in Anbar, Iraq. We studied a total of 90 individuals (46 men and 44 women) aged between 20 and 87 years. The samples were divided into four groups: CAD patients (n=23), T2DM patients (n=23), coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes together in the same patient (n=23), and control group (n=21). The concentrations of IL-6 and IGF-1 were determined using a commercially available enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay.Results: The results of the present study showed that there were elevated serum levels of IL-6 and low levels of IGF-1 in all the tested groups, compared with the control. The difference was statistically significant at p<0.05. The results showed a positively correlated between IL-6 and IGF-1 in the CAD group and T2DM group, while it was a negative correlation between serum levels of IL-6 and IGF-1 in the T2DM+CAD group.Conclusion: Elevated levels serum of IL-6 predicts the development of CAD and T2DM. These data support a possible role for inflammation in diabetogenesis and complication of the cardiovascular disease. There is an inverse relationship between the levels serum of IGF-1 and increased risk of CAD and development of T2DM.

Adiponectin is an adipocytokine that has a higher serum level in healthy people. In type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, hypertension, MI, and dyslipidemia, the serum level of adiponectin is lower than 4 µg/mL. Adiponectin is proved to have a protective role against atherosclerotic changes where its low serum levels in type 2 diabetes can lead to the progression of atherosclerotic lesions. In this study, we aimed to survey the possible effects of adiponectin in the development of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetics. Thirty diabetic cases with coronary artery disease, 30 diabetic cases without known coronary artery disease, and a group of 30 healthy volunteers, all of them were between 18-65-year-old, were entered ourstudy. We gathered demographic data by performing a physical examination followed by filling a checklist and a set of laboratory tests. All the groups were sex and age-matched (P=0.284 and P=0.163 respectively). CAD group had the lowest HBA1C (P<0.001). Both LDL and HDL were also lower in the CAD group (P<0.001). Adiponectin was also lower in the CAD group when compared to other groups (P<0.008) or when compared with only normal diabetics (P<0.002). We found a correlation between adiponectin and HDL (r=0.348, P=0.008), suggesting each unit of reduction in serum level of adiponectin could increase the chance of coronary artery disease by 38% in diabetics. In this study, we showed that the lower serum level of adiponectin is correlated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetics.

Общим патогенетическим звеном сахарного диабета 2 типа (СД2) и ишемической болезни сердца (ИБС) является окислительный стресс, развивающийся в результате дисбаланса продукции активных форм кислорода (АФК) и их обезвреживания системой антиоксидантной защиты. Нейтрофильный цитозольный фактор 4 (NCF4) непосредственно вовлечен в синтез супероксид-аниона в составе НАДФН-оксидазы. Целью настоящего исследования стало изучение ассоциаций восьми однонуклеотидных полиморфизмов гена NCF4 rs5995355 (A>G), rs5995357 (T>A), rs1883112 (G>A), rs4821544 (G>A), rs760519 (T>C), rs729749 (C>T), rs2075938 (G>A) и rs2075939 (C>T) с предрасположенностью к СД2, а также с риском развития ИБС у пациентов с СД2. В исследование включено 1579 пациентов с СД2 (у 448 из которых была также диагностирована ИБС) и 1627 условно здоровых добровольцев. Генотипирование выполнено методом MALDI-TOF масс-спектрометрии на платформе MassArray Analyzer 4. Статистическую обработку полученных данных проводили с помощью онлайн программы SNPStats. Частоты аллелей и генотипов изучаемых SNPs у больных СД2 не отличались от таковых в группе контроля (р>0,05). Установлены ассоциации генотипов rs4821544-C/С (OR 1,71, 95CI 1,12-2,59, р=0,013) и rs5995357-А/А (OR 3,74, 95CI 1,14-12,31, р=0,026) с предрасположенностью к ИБС у больных СД2 женщин. Несмотря на отсутствие ассоциаций изучаемых SNPs гена NCF4 с ИБС у мужчин, именно у представителей мужского пола выявлены ассоциации гаплотипической структуры NCF4 (р=0,0064), а также гаплотипов Н2 (OR 1,79, 95CI 1,16-2,76, р=0,0085) и Н3 (OR 1,77, 95CI 1,06-2,97, р=0,03) с повышенным риском развития ИБС при СД2. Кроме того, выявлены не зависящие от пола ассоциации генотипа rs4821544-С/С с повышенным уровнем гликированного гемоглобина HbA1c (р=0,032) и окисленного глутатиона плазмы крови (p=0.049) у пациентов с ИБС и СД2. В этой же категории больных носительство гаплотипов Н4 rs5995355G-rs5995357A-rs1883112G-rs4821544C-rs760519T-rs729749C-rs2075938G-rs2075939C и Н10 rs5995355A-rs5995357T-rs1883112G-rs4821544C-rs760519T-rs729749C-rs2075938A-rs2075939C гена NCF4 ассоциировалось с повышением содержания HbA1c на 8,67% (р=0,011) и 6,27% (р=0,038), соответственно. Полученные данные свидетельствуют о значимом вкладе полиморфизма гена NCF4 в патогенез ИБС у пациентов с СД2 и создают научный задел для разработки таргетной терапии и профилактики этой патологии. A common pathogenic link in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD) is oxidative stress, which develops as a result of an imbalance in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and their neutralization by the antioxidant defense system. Neutrophilic cytosolic factor 4 (NCF4) is directly involved in the synthesis of superoxide anion as part of NADPH oxidase. In this regard, the purpose of this study was to investigate the associations of eight single nucleotide polymorphisms of the NCF4 gene rs5995355 (A>G), rs5995357 (T>A), rs1883112 (G>A), rs4821544 (G>A), rs760519 (T>C), rs729749 (C>T), rs2075938 (G>A), rs2075939 (C>T) with a predisposition to T2D, as well as the risk of developing CAD in patients with T2D. The study included 1579 patients with T2D (448 of them were also diagnosed with CAD) and 1627 relatively healthy volunteers. Genotyping was performed using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry on the MassArray Analyzer 4 platform. Statistical processing of the obtained data was carried out using the SNPStats online program. The allele and genotype frequencies of the studied SNPs in T2D patients did not differ from those in the control group (p>0.05). Associations of genotypes rs4821544-C/C (OR 1.71, 95CI 1.12-2.59, p=0.013) and rs5995357-A/A (OR 3.74, 95CI 1.14-12.31, p=0.026) with a predisposition to CAD in diabetic females were established. Despite the absence of associations of the studied SNPs NCF4 with CAD in males, associations of the haplotype structure of NCF4 (p=0.0064), as well as the haplotypes H2 (OR 1.79, 95CI 1.16-2.76, p=0.0085) and H3 (OR 1.77, 95CI 1.06-2.97, p=0.03) with an increased risk of CAD were observed exclusively in diabetic males. In addition, a sex-independent relationship of the rs4821544-C/C genotype with an increased level of glycated hemoglobin (p=0.032) and oxidized glutathione (p=0.049) was revealed in patients with CAD and T2D. In the same category of patients haplotypes H4 rs5995355G-rs5995357A-rs1883112G-rs4821544C-rs760519T-rs729749C-rs2075938G-rs2075939C and H10 rs5995355A-rs5995357T-rs1883112G-rs4821544C-rs760519T-rs729749C-rs2075938A-rs2075939C of NCF4 gene were associated with an increase in the content of HbA1c 8.67 % (p=0.011) and 6.27% (p=0.038), respectively. The data obtained indicate a significant contribution of the NCF4 gene polymorphism to the pathogenesis of CAD in patients with T2D and create a scientific basis for the development of targeted therapy and prevention of this pathology.
