Background: The prevous studies has showed that serum retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) levels increased in metobolic disorders which are closely associated with cardiovascular dieases (CVD).  However the human studies investigating the role of RBP4 in CVD are conflicted. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between RBP4 and the presence and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in this study. Methods: 55 patients with presenting acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and 43 control subjects who had various cardiovascular risk factors with normal coronary artery on coronary angiography were included in this study.The serum RBP4 concentrations were measured using ELISA method and clinically and anatomically score models were used to asses the severity of coronary lesion. Results: Serum RBP4 level was significantly higher in patients with ACS compared to the controls (68.40 ± 47.94 mg/L vs. 49.46 ± 13.64 mg/L; p = 0.014).  RBP4 was correlated with GENSINI and SYNTAX I score (r = 0,286 p=0,034; r = 0.403 p = 0.002 respectively). However, there was no relationship between RBP4 and GRACE score. Conclusion: Patients with ACS had increased serum RBP4 levels and its high levels were correlated with CAD severity.

The current study demonstrates that a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif- (ADAMTS-) 5 is a key extracellular matrix protease and associated with cardiovascular diseases. However, the plasma ADAMTS-5 levels and relevance of coronary artery disease (CAD) remain largely unknown. This study is aimed at examining the relationship between the plasma ADAMTS-5 levels and the severity of coronary stenosis in patients with CAD. In the present study, the expression of ADAMTS-5 was analyzed in coronary artery samples and blood. The results showed that the plasma ADAMTS-5 levels were lower in the CAD group than in the control group. In addition, significantly higher matrix metalloproteinase- (MMP-) 2 and MMP-9 levels were also observed in the patients with CAD, and the ADAMTS-5 levels were negatively correlated with the MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels. Spearman’s correlation analysis showed that the Gensini score was negatively correlated with the ADAMTS-5 levels but was positively correlated with the MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that ADAMTS-5, MMP-2, and MMP-9 may have a certain diagnostic value in CAD and that the combination of all three metalloproteinases had a higher diagnostic value. The findings provided a better understanding of the role of ADAMTS-5 in the diagnosis of CAD.

Гены тромбообразования и фолатного обмена играют важную роль в развитии и прогрессии ишемической болезни сердца (ИБС). Однако о возможной роли полиморфных маркеров в рецидиве ИБС после чрескожного коронарного вмешательства (ЧКВ) известно недостаточно. Цель исследования: Оценить роль генетических факторов системы тромбообразования и фолатного обмена (полиморфных маркеров генов F5, F2, F13A1, PAI1, HPA1, MTHFR, FGB ), в возобновление клиники ИБС после ЧКВ. Методика: Исследование проводили с использованием выборки из 90 больных ИБС в возрасте от 40 до 75 лет: 75 пациентов после планового ЧКВ (60 мужчин и 15 женщин) и 15 лиц после экстренного ЧКВ (12 мужчин и 3 женщины). Молекулярно-генетическое исследование было выполнено с помощью комплекта реагентов «Сердечно-сосудистые заболевания СтрипМетод»® (ViennaLab Diagnostics GmbH, Австрия), выявляющие следующие варианты: F5, F2, F13A1, PAI1, HPA1, MTHFR, FGB . Результаты: В результате исследования была показана ассоциация полиморфного маркера G103T ( Val34Leu ) гена F13A1 (фактор свертываемости крови 13, субъединица A1) с развитием рецидивирующего состояния ИБС после ЧКВ. Выявлены статистически значимые различия в распределении частот генотипов полиморфного маркера Val34Leu гена F13A1 . Показано, что частота генотипа Val/Val у пациентов с осложнениями была выше, чем у пациентов без таковых: 0,700 и 0,400 соответственно (c = 7,78; p = 0,020), при этом генотип Val/Val проявил себя как фактор риска развития осложнений: ОШ = 3,50 (95%ДИ 1,37-8,93). При сравнении аллелей выявили, что частота аллеля L у больных с осложнениями была ниже, чем у лиц без таковых: 0,167 и 0,375 соответственно (p = 0,004), и носительство аллеля L уменьшало вероятность развития осложнений: ОШ = 0,33 (95%ДИ 0,15-0,72). Заключение: Носительство варианта 34V гена F13A1 , кодирующего A-субъединицу фактора свёртывания 13, предрасполагает к возобновлению клинических проявлений ИБС после ЧКВ. Genes of thrombosis and folate metabolism play an important role in development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, a possible role of polymorphic markers in CAD relapse following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is not sufficiently understood. Background. Reports have indicated an association of genetic factors generally related with thrombophilia and recurrence of symptoms for coronary artery disease (CAD) following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to restenosis and in-stent thrombosis. However, the relapse can also be caused by progression of atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction in unoperated blood vessels. Aim: To assess the role of genetic risk factors involved in thrombosis and folate metabolism (polymorphic markers of F5, F2, F13A1, PAI1, HPA1, MTHFR, and FGB genes) in recurrence of CAD symptoms after PCI. Methods: The study included 90 patients with CAD aged 40-75; 75 of these patients had undergone elective PCI (60 men and 15 women) and 15 patients - emergency PCI (12 men and 3 women). Molecular genetic tests were performed using a CVD StripAssays® reagent kit (ViennaLab Diagnostics GmbH, Austria) to identify the following genetic variations: F5, F2, F13A1, PAI1, HPA1, MTHFR, and FGB . Results: The study results showed a significant association of the G103T ( Val34Leu ) polymorphism in the F13A1 gene with relapses of IHD after PCI. Significant differences were found in genotype distribution frequencies of the Val34Leu polymorphism in the F13A1 gene. The frequency of Val / Val genotype was higher in patients with complications than without complications, 0.700 and 0.400, respectively (c = 7.78, p = 0.020). Furthermore, the Val/Val genotype can be classified as a risk factor for complications (OR = 3.50; 95% CI, 1.37-8.93). The L allele frequency was lower in patients with complications than in those without complications (0.167 and 0.375, respectively, p = 0.004), and carriage of the L allele reduced the likelihood of complications (OR = 0.33; 95% CI 0.15-0.72). Conclusion: Carriage of the 34V variant in the F13A1 gene that encodes the coagulation factor XIII A subunit predisposes to a relapse of CAD symptoms after PCI.
