Abstract:: Angina pectoris, associated with coronary artery disease, a cardiovascular disease where, pain is caused by adverse oxygen supply in myocardium, resulting in contractility and discomfort in chest. Inflammasomes, triggered by stimuli due to infection and cellular stress have identified to play a vital role in the progression of cardiovascular disorders and thus, causing various symptoms like angina pectoris. Nlrp3 inflammasome, a key contributor in the pathogenesis of angina pectoris, requires activation and primary signaling for the commencement of inflammation. Nlrp3 inflammasome elicit out an inflammatory response by emission of pro inflammatory cytokines by ROS (reactive oxygen species) production, mobilization of K+ efflux and Ca2+ and by activation of lysosome destabilization that eventually causes pyroptosis, a programmed cell death process. Thus, inflammasome are considered to be one of the factors involved in the progression of coronary artery diseases and have an intricate role in development of angina pectoris.

Background/Aim. The main characteristic of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) is the degradation of extracellular matrix. Synthesis of MMPs has been reported in coronary atherosclerotic lesions in patients with coronary disease (CD) suggesting a pathogenic role of MMPs in its development. Recently there is increasing evidence that gelatinase A (pro MMP-2) and gelatinase B (proMMP-9) play a pathogenic role in the development of the atherosclerotic plaques. The aim of the study was to determine, by the use of a gel image system, a possible presence of active gelatinases in the serum of the patients with CD, as well as if their activity is higher in these patients than in healthy people. Methods. By gelatin zymography we analyzed the activity of proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 in the serum of 50 patients with various coronary artery disease stages and in the serum of 15 healthy controls. The activity was measured by using a gel image system (Kodak Image 1D 3.6.). Results. ProMMP-2 and proMMP-9 activity was significantly higher in the serum of patients with CD compared to controls. There was higher activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the serum of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) compared to patients with stable angina pectoris, as well as higher proMMP-9 activity in patients with unstable angina pectoris compared to patients with stable angina pectoris. Conclusion. ProMMP-2 and proMMP-9 participate in processes associated with destabilizing plaques and understanding the processes of MMPs activation and regulation may have significant benefits in clinical interpretation. The reported higher proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 activity in the serum of patients with CD suggests a role of proMMP-2 and proMMP-9 in prognostic stratification of these patients and in designing new drugs.

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.
