Inflammasome activation is increased in people with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH), but its relationship with coronary plaque is poorly understood in this setting.
In a large human immunodeficiency virus cardiovascular prevention cohort, relationships between caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-18 and coronary plaque indices were assessed by multivariate logistic regression.
Higher IL-18 and IL-1β were associated with Leaman score, an integrative measure of plaque burden and composition.
As Leaman score >5 is associated with cardiovascular events in the general population, future work is needed to determine how the inflammasome relates to events and whether strategies to reduce its activation affect events or plaque progression among PWH.
人类免疫缺陷病毒感染者(PWH)体内炎性小体激活增加,但在这种情况下其与冠状动脉斑块的关系尚不清楚。
在一个大型人类免疫缺陷病毒心血管预防队列中,通过多变量逻辑回归评估半胱天冬酶-1、白细胞介素(IL)-1β和IL-18与冠状动脉斑块指数之间的关系。
较高的IL-18和IL-1β与利曼评分相关,利曼评分是斑块负荷和成分的综合指标。
由于在一般人群中利曼评分>5与心血管事件相关,未来需要开展研究以确定炎性小体与事件之间的关系,以及降低其激活的策略是否会影响PWH的心血管事件或斑块进展。
