Although genetic variations rs780094 and rs1260326 of the glucokinase regulatory protein gene (GCKR) could be associated with lipid profile imbalance, their influence on acute ischemic stroke (AIS) risk has not yet been established. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of GCKR single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs780094 and rs1260326 on lipid profile parameters in patients with AIS, and to evaluate the association of these SNPs with the risk of AIS. In a casecontrol study, a total of 148 subjects were screened for GCKR rs780094 and rs1260326 SNPs using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The lipid profile was determined based on serum total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and triacylglycerol (TG) concentrations. The frequencies of the minor rs780094T allele and the minor rs1260326T allele were significantly lower in AIS patients compared to controls. The rs780094TT genotype and the rs1260326TT genotype were associated with decreased risk of AIS compared to wildtype carriers. In conclusion, this is the first study implying that decreased risk of AIS in rs780094 and rs1260326 homozygous minor allele carriers is not caused by dyslipidemia, but possibly by the lack of coagulation factor glycosylation.

A low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) level is an identified risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. However, results on the association between HDL-C levels and adverse outcomes in diabetic status still remain limited and controversial. Herein, we evaluated the association between HDL-C levels and adverse outcomes among acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with diabetes mellitus. The cohort comprised 3824 AIS patients with diabetes mellitus (62.7 ± 10.5 years; 34.2% women) from the Third China National Stroke Registry (n = 15,166). Patients were classified into five groups by quintiles of HDL-C. The outcomes included recurrent stroke and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) within 1 year. The relationship between HDL-C levels and the risk of adverse outcomes was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards models. Patients in the lowest quintile of HDL-C had a higher risk of recurrent stroke (hazard ratio (HR) 1.59, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.12–2.25) and MACEs (HR 1.53, 95% CI, 1.09–2.15) during 1-year follow-up compared with those in the highest quintile of HDL-C. There were linear associations between HDL-C levels and the risks of both recurrent stroke and MACEs. Low HDL-C levels were associated with higher risks of recurrent stroke and MACEs within 1 year in AIS patients with diabetes mellitus.

Background and Purpose: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a potentially serious complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Whether the ratio of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C/HDL-C) is associated with HT remains unclear. Methods: Ischemic stroke patients within 7 days of stroke onset from January 2016 to November 2017 were included in this study. Lipid profiles were measured within 24h after admission. HT was determined by a second computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging within 7 days after admission. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between LDL-C/HDL-C and HT. Results: We enrolled 1239 patients with AIS (788 males; mean age, 64 ± 15 years), of whom 129 (10.4%) developed HT. LDL-C/HDL-C was significantly lower on admission in patients with HT than those without HT (2.00 ± 0.89 vs. 2.25 ± 1.02, P=0.009). The unadjusted odds ratio (OR) of low LDL-C/HDL-C for HT was 2.07 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.42-3.01, P<0.001). After adjustment for possible confounders, lower LDL-C/HDL-C (≤1.52) was significantly associated with HT (OR 1.53, 95% CI: 1.02-2.31, P=0.046). Similar results were observed between lower LDL-C (≤ 4 mmol/L) and HT (OR 4.17, 95% CI: 1.25-13.90, P=0.02). However, no significant association was found between HT and high HDL-C, low triglycerides or low total cholesterol. Conclusion: Lower LDL-C/HDL-C and LDL-C were significantly associated with increased risk of HT after AIS. Further investigations are warranted to confirm these findings and then optimize lipid management in stroke patients with lower LDL/HDL-C or LDL-C.

Abstract High levels of coagulation factor VIII (FVIII) have been associated with cardiovascular disease. Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) has been recently demonstrated to contribute to FVIII clearance from plasma. The aim of this study was to evaluate 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms in SMARCA4-LDLR gene locus (rs1122608, rs2228671, and rs688) and FVIII coagulant activity (FVIII:c) in subjects with (n = 692) or without (n = 291) angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease (CAD). High FVIII:c levels were an independent risk factor for CAD. The rs688 and rs2228671 genotypes were predictors of FVIII:c with T alleles associated with higher FVIII:c levels. The rs2228671T allele was associated also with reduced total and LDL-cholesterol levels. With respect to the risk of CAD, no association was found for rs2228671. Consistently with higher FVIII:c levels, the rs688T allele was associated with CAD, whereas, consistently with a favorable lipid profile, the rs1122608T allele was associated with a decreased CAD prevalence. After adjustment for classic cardiovascular risk factors, including plasma lipids, rs688 remained associated with CAD (OR for T carriers: 1.67 with 95% confidence interval, 1.10-2.54). Haplotype analysis confirmed such results. Our data suggest that polymorphisms at LDLR locus modulate FVIII:c levels and may be associated with CAD risk independently from plasma lipids.

Background: The statistical association between a short-term rise in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and the short-term outcome of acute ischemic stroke remains unknown. We aimed to evaluate the association in acute ischemic stroke patients during hospitalization. Methods: Patients with acute ischemic stroke who received statin at discharge were enrolled in this multicenter registry study. LDL-C values were measured on the first day after admission and on the day before discharge to determine the rise in LDL-C levels. Poor outcome was defined as a modified Ranking Scale score ≥2 at discharge. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale increase from admission to discharge by 2 points was defined as clinical deterioration. Logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the relationship between LDL-C rise during hospitalization and poor outcome at discharge. Variables that were significantly different between the LDL-C rise and LDL-C fall groups were considered in adjustment for confounding variables in model 1. Age, sex, and those variables in model 1 were considered in adjustment for confounding variables in model 2. Results: Among the 676 patients, 110 (16.3%) showed a rise in LDL-C levels during hospitalization. Multivariate analyses showed that LDL-C at admission <1.6 mmol/L was significantly correlated with LDL-C rise during hospitalization (p < 0.001). There were significantly more patients with a poor outcome in the “LDL-C rise” group than in the “LDL-fall” group (p = 0.002). Multiple models consistently showed that LDL-C rise increased the risk of a poor outcome at discharge in model 1 (OR [95% CI] 1.351 [1.059–1.723], p = 0.016) and model 2 (OR [95% CI] 1.370 [1.071–1.751], p = 0.012). LDL-C rise also increased the risk of clinical deterioration, although its p value only was 0.043 in model 1 and 0.048 in model 2. Conclusions: Rise in LDL-C during hospitalization from acute ischemic stroke is an independent predictor of poor outcome at discharge. In particular, patients with lower LDL-C values at admission are a higher at risk, and LDL-C in these patients should thus be monitored while in hospital.
