In heart failure (HF) alveolar-capillary membrane is abnormal. Surfactant-derived proteins (SPs) and plasma receptor for advanced-glycation-end-products (RAGE) have been proposed as lung damage markers.
Eighty-nine chronic HF and 17 healthy subjects were evaluated by echocardiography, blood parameters, carbon monoxide lung diffusion (DLCO) and cardiopulmonary exercise test. We measured immature SP-B, mature SP-B, SP-A, SP-D and RAGE plasma levels.
Immature SP-B (arbitrary units), mature SP-A (ng/ml) and SP-D (ng/ml), but not mature SP-B (ng/ml) and RAGE (pg/ml) levels, were higher in HF than in controls [immature SP-B: 15.6 (13.1, 75th-25th interquartile range) Vs. 11.1 (6.4), p<0.01; SP-A, 29.6 (20.1) Vs. 18.3 (13.5), p = 0.01; SP-D: 125 (90) Vs. 78 (58), p<0.01]. Immature SP-B, SP-A, SP-D and RAGE values were related to DLCO, peak oxygen consumption, ventilatory efficiency, and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), whereas plasma mature SP-B was not. The DLCO Vs. immature SP-B correlation was the strongest one. At multivariate analysis, RAGE was associated to age and creatinine, SP-A to DLCO and BNP, SP-D to BNP, mature SP-B to DLCO and creatinine, and immature SP-B only but strongly to DLCO.
Immature SP-B is the most reliable biological marker of alveolar-capillary membrane function in HF.
在心力衰竭(HF)中,肺泡毛细血管膜是异常的。表面活性物质衍生蛋白(SPs)和晚期糖基化终产物血浆受体(RAGE)已被提议作为肺损伤标志物。
通过超声心动图、血液参数、一氧化碳肺弥散(DLCO)和心肺运动试验对89例慢性HF患者和17名健康受试者进行评估。我们测量了未成熟的SP-B、成熟的SP-B、SP-A、SP-D和RAGE血浆水平。
HF患者中未成熟的SP-B(任意单位)、成熟的SP-A(ng/ml)和SP-D(ng/ml)水平高于对照组,而成熟的SP-B(ng/ml)和RAGE(pg/ml)水平则不然[未成熟的SP-B:15.6(13.1,第75-25四分位数间距)对11.1(6.4),p<0.01;SP-A,29.6(20.1)对18.3(13.5),p = 0.01;SP-D:125(90)对78(58),p<0.01]。未成熟的SP-B、SP-A、SP-D和RAGE值与DLCO、峰值耗氧量、通气效率和脑钠肽(BNP)相关,而血浆成熟的SP-B则不然。DLCO与未成熟的SP-B之间的相关性最强。在多变量分析中,RAGE与年龄和肌酐相关,SP-A与DLCO和BNP相关,SP-D与BNP相关,成熟的SP-B与DLCO和肌酐相关,未成熟的SP-B仅与DLCO密切相关。
未成熟的SP-B是HF中肺泡毛细血管膜功能最可靠的生物学标志物。
