Bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R) is a widely expressed cell surface receptor. The relationship between B2R expression on circulating CD34+ cells and prognosis of myocardial infarction remains unknown.
We analyzed the expression of B2R on circulating CD34-positive cells and plasma VEGF concentration in 174 myocardial infarction patients. All involved patients were divided into two groups: high B2R group and low B2R group according to the median B2R expression percentage. 48 months of follow-up was performed. The endpoints were heart failure and revascularization.
The plasma level of VEGF in the low B2R group is 67 ± 12 pg/mL, whereas the high B2R group has significantly elevated VEGF levels of 145 ± 27 pg/mL ( < 0.001). The concentration of VEGF has correlated with expression of B2R ( = 0.574, < 0.001). During the 48 months of follow-up, low expression of B2 receptor on circulating CD34-positive cells indicates the high incidence of heart failure (hazard ratio: 2.247; 95% confidence interval: 1.110-4.547; = 0.024) and revascularization (hazard ratio: 2.335; 95% confidence interval: 1.075-5.074; = 0.032). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the cumulative hazard of heart failure ( = 0.014) and revascularization ( = 0.032) has significant differences between low B2R and high B2R.
Low expression of B2R on circulating progenitor cells indicated the poor outcomes of myocardial infarction.
缓激肽 B2 受体(B2R)是一种广泛表达的细胞表面受体。循环 CD34+细胞上 B2R 的表达与心肌梗死的预后之间的关系尚不清楚。
我们分析了 174 例心肌梗死患者循环 CD34 阳性细胞上 B2R 的表达和血浆 VEGF 浓度。所有患者均根据 B2R 表达百分比的中位数分为高 B2R 组和低 B2R 组。进行了 48 个月的随访。终点是心力衰竭和血运重建。
低 B2R 组的血浆 VEGF 水平为 67±12pg/ml,而高 B2R 组的 VEGF 水平显著升高,为 145±27pg/ml(<0.001)。VEGF 的浓度与 B2R 的表达相关(=0.574,<0.001)。在 48 个月的随访期间,循环 CD34 阳性细胞上 B2 受体的低表达表明心力衰竭(危险比:2.247;95%置信区间:1.110-4.547;=0.024)和血运重建(危险比:2.335;95%置信区间:1.075-5.074;=0.032)的发生率较高。Kaplan-Meier 生存分析显示,低 B2R 和高 B2R 之间心力衰竭(=0.014)和血运重建(=0.032)的累积危险有显著差异。
循环祖细胞上 B2R 的低表达预示着心肌梗死的不良结局。
