Dyslipidemia is a major cause of arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is the profile to be reduced to prevent disease progression. Small dense low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (sdLDL-C) has been proven to be a more effective biomarker than LDL-C for ASCVD primary and secondary prevention. is an important drug metabolism gene. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between sdLDL-C and coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors and explore the influence of metabolizer phenotypes on the sdLDL-C lowering efficacy of statins.
This study recruited 182 patients with CAD and 200 non-CAD controls. Baseline laboratory indices of fasting blood were detected, including blood lipids, glucose, and creatinine. In addition, LDL-C subfractions were separated and quantified. Gene polymorphisms of and were detected in patients with CAD. The LDL-C subfractions levels of patients with CAD were followed up after statin drug treatment.
Total cholesterol, LDL-C, LDLC-2, LDLC-3, LDLC-4, LDLC-5, LDLC-6, LDLC-7, and sdLDL-C levels of patients with CAD were significantly higher than those in non-CAD controls. Meanwhile, sdLDL-C (AUC = 0.838) and LDLC-4 (AUC = 0.835) performed outstandingly in distinguishing patients with CAD from controls. Based on metabolizer phenotypes, 113 patients with CAD were divided into the extensive metabolizer (EM, = 49), intermediate metabolizer (IM, = 52), and poor metabolizer (PM, = 12) groups. The patients with IM and PM metabolizer phenotypes had better sdLDL-C lowering efficacy after taking statin drugs than patients with EM phenotype ( = 0.0268, FDR = 0.0536). The genotype had no significant impact on the efficacy of statins ( = 0.1611, FDR = 0.1611).
sdLDL-C and LDLC-4 outperformed other blood lipids such as LDL-C for CAD risk screening. metabolizer phenotypes had the potential to predict the efficacy of statins in lowering sdLDL-C.
血脂异常是动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(ASCVD)的主要病因,低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)是需要降低以预防疾病进展的指标。小而密低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(sdLDL-C)已被证明是比LDL-C更有效的ASCVD一级和二级预防生物标志物。[具体基因名称]是一个重要的药物代谢基因。本研究旨在探讨sdLDL-C与冠状动脉疾病(CAD)危险因素之间的关系,并探讨[具体基因名称]代谢者表型对他汀类药物降低sdLDL-C疗效的影响。
本研究招募了182例CAD患者和200例非CAD对照。检测空腹血的基线实验室指标,包括血脂、血糖和肌酐。此外,分离并定量LDL-C亚组分。在CAD患者中检测[具体基因名称]和[具体基因名称]的基因多态性。对CAD患者进行他汀类药物治疗后的LDL-C亚组分水平进行随访。
CAD患者的总胆固醇、LDL-C、LDLC-2、LDLC-3、LDLC-4、LDLC-5、LDLC-6、LDLC-7和sdLDL-C水平显著高于非CAD对照。同时,sdLDL-C(AUC = 0.838)和LDLC-4(AUC = 0.835)在区分CAD患者和对照方面表现出色。根据[具体基因名称]代谢者表型,113例CAD患者分为广泛代谢者(EM,n = 49)、中间代谢者(IM,n = 52)和慢代谢者(PM,n = 12)组。IM和PM代谢者表型的患者服用他汀类药物后sdLDL-C降低疗效优于EM表型患者(P = 0.0268,FDR = 0.0536)。[具体基因名称]基因型对他汀类药物疗效无显著影响(P = 0.1611,FDR = 0.1611)。
在CAD风险筛查中,sdLDL-C和LDLC-4比其他血脂如LDL-C表现更优。[具体基因名称]代谢者表型有可能预测他汀类药物降低sdLDL-C的疗效。
