Abstract

(1) Background: Endothelial dysfunction initiates cardiovascular pathologies, including peripheral artery disease (PAD). The pathophysiology of impaired new vessel formation in the presence of angiogenic stimuli, such as ischemia and inflammation, is unknown. We have recently shown in mice that reduced endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) expression results in defective angiogenesis following experimental hindlimb ischemia. (2) Purpose: To determine soluble (s)EPCR levels in the plasma of patients with PAD and to compare them with the protein C activity and biomarkers of endothelial function, inflammation, and angiogenesis. (3) Methods and Results: Clinical tests of vascular function and immunoassays of plasma from patients with PAD stage II were compared to age- and sex-matched individuals with and without cardiovascular risk factors or PAD stage III/IV patients. sEPCR levels were significantly lower in PAD stage II patients compared to subjects with risk factors, but no PAD, and further decreased in PAD stage III/IV patients. Plasma protein C activity or levels of ADAM17, a mediator of EPCR shedding, did not differ. Significant associations between sEPCR and the ankle-brachial index ( = 0.0359), age ( = 0.0488), body mass index ( = 0.0110), and plasma sE-selectin levels ( = 0.0327) were observed. High-sensitive CRP levels and white blood cell counts were significantly elevated in PAD patients and associated with serum glucose levels, but not sEPCR. In contrast, plasma TNFα or IL1β levels did not differ. Circulating levels of VEGF were significantly elevated in PAD stage II patients ( = 0.0198), but not associated with molecular (sE-selectin) or functional (ankle-brachial index) markers of vascular health. (4) Conclusions: Our findings suggest that circulating sEPCR levels may be useful as biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction, including angiogenesis, in persons older than 35 years and that progressive loss of endothelial protein C receptors might be involved in the development and progression of PAD.

摘要

(1) 背景:内皮功能障碍引发心血管疾病,包括外周动脉疾病(PAD)。在存在诸如缺血和炎症等血管生成刺激因素的情况下,新血管形成受损的病理生理学尚不清楚。我们最近在小鼠中发现,内皮蛋白C受体(EPCR)表达降低会导致实验性后肢缺血后血管生成缺陷。(2) 目的:测定PAD患者血浆中可溶性(s)EPCR水平,并将其与蛋白C活性以及内皮功能、炎症和血管生成的生物标志物进行比较。(3) 方法与结果:将II期PAD患者的血管功能临床测试和血浆免疫测定结果与年龄和性别匹配的有和没有心血管危险因素的个体或III/IV期PAD患者进行比较。与有危险因素但无PAD的受试者相比,II期PAD患者的sEPCR水平显著降低,而在III/IV期PAD患者中进一步降低。血浆蛋白C活性或EPCR脱落的介质ADAM17水平没有差异。观察到sEPCR与踝臂指数(=0.0359)、年龄(=0.0488)、体重指数(=0.0110)和血浆sE-选择素水平(=0.0327)之间存在显著关联。PAD患者的高敏CRP水平和白细胞计数显著升高,且与血糖水平相关,但与sEPCR无关。相比之下,血浆TNFα或IL1β水平没有差异。II期PAD患者循环中的VEGF水平显著升高(=0.0198),但与血管健康的分子(sE-选择素)或功能(踝臂指数)标志物无关。(4) 结论:我们的研究结果表明,循环sEPCR水平可能作为35岁以上人群内皮功能障碍(包括血管生成)的生物标志物,并且内皮蛋白C受体的逐渐丧失可能参与PAD的发生和发展。
