Introduction: Oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) is considered a main biomarker of oxidative stress, a common characteristic in end stage renal disease. We examined the relationship between ox-LDL serum concentrations and cardiovascular disease in permanent hemodiafiltration therapy patients. Methods: Ox-LDL values were measured by ELISA and were corrected for LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) in 96 participants and in 45 healthy control subjects. We performed chi-square tests and adjusted models for the role of ox-LDL on cardiovascular morbidity including coronary artery disease, left ventricular hypertrophy, systolic, diastolic dysfunction and peripheral arterial disease. Results: ox-LDL/LDL-C values were significantly higher in patients than in control group (p = 0.02), due to increased ox-LDL serum levels rather than to low LDL-C. The unadjusted relationship between high ox-LDL/LDL-C and low ejection fraction was found significant (x2 = 9.04, p = 0.003), although the association with the other cardiovascular manifestations was found non-significant. In the adjusted model for the prediction of systolic cardiac dysfunction, high ox-LDL/LDL-C, old age and non-administration of vitamin D supplementation during dialysis session were found to be significant predictors after adjustment to the confounder. Moreover, the association between systolic cardiac dysfunction and non-administration of vitamin D derivatives during dialysis sessions was found significant (x2 = 6.9, p = 0.008). Conclusions: This study showed a significant association between high ox-LDL and systolic cardiac dysfunction in permanent hemodiafiltration therapy patients. This relationship seems to be influenced by aging and pharmaceutical therapy during dialysis sessions, including vitamin D derivatives.

Background/Aims: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with a variety of vascular diseases. Previous studies showed that both miR-29a and oxidized low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) were vital in the development of atherosclerosis. However, the relationship between miR-29a and ox-LDL remains unknown. This study was designed to investigate the association of miR-29a and ox-LDL and to test whether circulating miR-29a and ox-LDL levels could predict atherosclerosis. Methods: In 170 participants, plasma levels of miR-29a were assessed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) while plasma ox-LDL levels were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. The relationship between miR-29a level and ox-LDL and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) was assessed using the Spearman correlation coefficient and multiple liner regression. Results: Compared with the normal cIMT group, the increased cIMT group had higher levels of ox-LDL (0.47 ± 0.08 vs 0.29 ± 0.06 ng/ml, p = 0.003) and miR-29a (32.93 ± 4.26 vs 26.37 ± 1.04, p < 0.001). A positive correlation was found between ox-LDL and miR-29a (r = 0.695, p < 0.001), and both the ox-LDL (r = 0.857, p < 0.001) and the miR-29a (r = 0.753, p < 0.001) were positively related to cIMT. Furthermore, multiple liner regression indicated that a significant correlation between ox-LDL and cIMT (β = 0.768, p < 0.001), as well as between miR-29a and cIMT (β = 0.686, p <0.001). The combination of miR-29a and ox-LDL (AUC = 0.926, p < 0.001) offered a better predictive value for atherosclerosis than either miR-29a (AUC = 0.759, p < 0.001) or ox-LDL (AUC = 0.762, p < 0.001) alone. Conclusion: Increased miR-29a and ox-LDL levels were associated with an early stage of atherosclerosis, and the combination of miR-29a and ox-LDL offered better predictive values for atherosclerosis than either alone.
