BACKGROUND: Interactions and joint effects of galectin-3 and vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM-1) on risks of all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality remain unclear in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). METHODS: Unadjusted and adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) of mortality risks were analyzed between higher and lower concentration groups of serum galectin-3 and VCAM-1. The modification effect between serum galectin-3 and VCAM-1 on mortality risk was investigated using an interaction product term. RESULTS: During follow-up, galectin-3 and VCAM-1 were associated with incremental risks of all-cause mortality (aHR: 1.038 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.001⁻1.077) and 1.002 (95% CI: 1.001⁻1.003), respectively). Nonetheless, VCAM-1 but not galectin-3 predicted CV mortality (aHR: 1.043 (95% CI: 0.993⁻1.096) and 1.002 (95% CI: 1.001⁻1.003), respectively). In the interaction analysis, patients with combined higher galectin-3 (>29.5 ng/mL) and VCAM-1 (>1546.9 ng/mL) were at the greatest risk of all-cause and CV mortality (aHR: 4.6 (95% CI: 1.6⁻13.4), and 4.2 (95% CI: 1.3⁻14.4), respectively). The interactions between galectin-3 and VCAM-1 with respect to all-cause and CV mortality were statistically significant ( < 0.01 and < 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSION: Galectin-3 and VCAM-1 could serve as a promising dual biomarker for prognostic assessment, considering their joint effects on pathogenesis of leukocyte trafficking and atherothrombosis.
背景:在维持性血液透析(MHD)患者中,半乳糖凝集素-3与血管细胞黏附分子1(VCAM-1)对全因死亡和心血管(CV)死亡风险的相互作用及联合效应仍不明确。 方法:分析血清半乳糖凝集素-3和VCAM-1高浓度组与低浓度组之间死亡风险的未调整和调整后风险比(aHRs)。使用交互作用乘积项研究血清半乳糖凝集素-3和VCAM-1对死亡风险的修饰作用。 结果:在随访期间,半乳糖凝集素-3和VCAM-1分别与全因死亡风险增加相关(aHR:1.038(95%置信区间(CI):1.001⁻1.077)和1.002(95%CI:1.001⁻1.003))。然而,VCAM-1而非半乳糖凝集素-3可预测CV死亡(aHR:1.043(95%CI:0.993⁻1.096)和1.002(95%CI:1.001⁻1.003))。在交互作用分析中,血清半乳糖凝集素-3(>29.5 ng/mL)和VCAM-1(>1546.9 ng/mL)均较高的患者全因死亡和CV死亡风险最高(aHR分别为4.6(95%CI:1.6⁻13.4)和4.2(95%CI:1.3⁻14.4))。半乳糖凝集素-3和VCAM-1在全因死亡和CV死亡方面的交互作用具有统计学意义(分别<0.01和<0.05)。 结论:考虑到半乳糖凝集素-3和VCAM-1对白细胞运输和动脉粥样硬化血栓形成发病机制的联合作用,它们可作为一种有前景的双重生物标志物用于预后评估。
