Background: Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), reduces progression of atherosclerosis and in cross-sectional studies low circulating IGF-1 is associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness. Yet, prospective data linking IGF-1 levels to development of stroke remain sparse and inconsistent. We related circulating IGF-1 levels to risk of incident stroke in a community-dwelling sample. Methods: Serum IGF-1 levels were assayed in 757 stroke-free participants (age 79+5 years, 62% women) from the Framingham original cohort (1990-1994), and related to prospectively ascertained, incident all-stroke and ischemic stroke using Cox models. Results: During a mean follow-up of 10.2 years in 757 participants, 119 developed stroke including 99 with ischemic stroke. After adjustment for age and sex, higher log-IGF1 levels were associated with a lower risk of incident ischemic stroke [hazard ratio (HR): 0.79, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.63- 0.99, p=0.043]. There was a threshold effect with subjects in the lowest quintile of IGF-1 levels having 2.56-fold higher risk of incident ischemic stroke (95% CI: 1.20, 5.45, p=0.015) compared to all others. We observed significant interaction between diabetes and IGF1 in their relation to ischemic stroke (p=0.016). In pre-specified subgroup analyses the effect was restricted to persons with diabetes and central obesity (waist-to-hip ratio in top quartile) in whom each SD increase in IGF-1 was associated with a 61% (HR: 0.39, 95%CI: 0.20-0.78, p=0.007), and 41% (HR: 0.59, 95%CI: 0.37- 0.95, p=0.031) lower risk of incident ischemic stroke, respectively. Results were similar for all-stroke. Conclusions: IGF-1 may have a protective role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke among persons with insulin resistance as manifested by diabetes and/or obesity.

Cerebrovascular disease is the main cause of death in the world. Here, we explored whether circulating serum miR-148b-3p, miR-151b and miR-27b-3p could be as potential diagnostic biomarkers for diagnosing acute ischemic stroke. Seventy-seven IS patients and forty-two healthy controls matched for age and sex were enrolled in the present study. Blood samples were drawn from IS patients within the 24 h. The correlation analysis was performed by Spearman. The ability to distinguish patients from healthy controls was determined by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The expression of circulating serum miR-148b-3p was significantly decreased, whereas miR-151b and miR-27b-3p were elevated significantly compared with controls. ROC analysis showed area under the ROC curve (AUC) of miR-148b-3p, miR-151b and miR-27b-3p to be 0.6647, 0.6852 and 0.6657, respectively. While the AUC increased to 0.8103 for the combination of miR-148b-3p and miR-27b-3p. Blood miR-151b level was negatively correlated with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and miR-27b-3p level was negatively correlated with IGF-1 and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3, respectively. Our findings suggest that miR-148b-3p, miR-151b and miR-27b-3p may serve as blood-based biomarkers for diagnosing ischemic stroke patients, and the combination of miR-148b-3p and miR-27b-3p may be more powerful.

Abstract Background The association of serum insulin-like growth factor I (s-IGF-I) with favorable outcome after ischemic stroke (IS) beyond 2 years is unknown. We investigated whether the levels of s-IGF-I 3 months post-stroke were associated with functional recovery up to 7 years after IS, considering also mortality and recurrent strokes. Methods Patients (N=324; 65% males; mean age, 55 years) with s-IGF-I levels assessed 3 months after the index IS were included from the Sahlgrenska Academy Study on Ischemic Stroke (SAHLSIS). The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) was used to evaluate outcomes at 3 months, 2 and 7 years after IS, and recovery was defined as an improvement, no change, or deterioration in the shifts of mRS score. Baseline stroke severity was determined using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Results The mRS score distributions were better in the above-median s-IGF-I group (>146.7 ng/ml). The s-IGF-I level was not associated with recurrent stroke (N=79) or death (N=44), although it correlated with recovery (r=0.12, P=0.035). In the regression analysis, s-IGF-I associated with recovery between 3 months and 7 years (but not between 2 and 7 years). The associations did not withstand adjustment for age and sex. For comparison, the corresponding associations between 3 months and 2 years withstood all adjustments. Conclusion The association for s-IGF-I with long-term post-stroke recovery persists after 7 years, which is also reflected in the mRS score distributions at all time-points. The effects are however modest, and not driven by mortality or recurrent stroke.
