Int Immunopharmacol 2022; 107:108653. [PMID: 35247777 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2022.108653] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 02/05/2022] [Accepted: 02/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Morphological research suggested the feeding artery of brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) had vascular remodeling under the high blood flow; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms were unclear. METHODS We constructed 32 simplified AVM rat models in four groups: the control group (n = 6), 1-week high-blood-flow group (n = 9), 3-week high-blood-flow group (n = 7) and 6-week high-blood-flow group (n = 10). The circumference, blood velocity, blood flow, pressure, and wall shear of the feeding artery were measured or calculated. The arterial wall change was observed by Masson staining. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of feeding arteries was performed, followed by bioinformatics analysis to detect the potential molecular mechanism for bAVM artery remodeling under the high blood flow. RESULTS We observed hemodynamic injury and vascular remodeling on the feeding artery under the high blood flow. RNA-seq showed immune/inflammation infiltration and vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotype transformation during remodeling. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) and time series analysis further identified 27 key genes and pathways involved in remodeling. Upstream miRNA and molecular drugs were predicted targeting these key genes. CONCLUSIONS We depicted molecular change of bAVM arterial remodeling via RNA-seq in high-blood-flow rat models. Twenty-seven key genes may regulate immune/inflammation infiltration and VSMC phenotype transform in bAVM arterial remodeling.

Abstract
According to data from the American Heart Association and the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most frequent cause of premature death. Several inflammatory and non-inflammatory skin diseases have been associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk (CVR). Here, we classified these conditions into traditionally CVR-associated and those that have been linked to a lesser degree. Psoriasis and hidradenitis suppurativa are commonly associated with CVD, sharing common inflammatory pathways and a higher prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Many other diseases could be associated indirectly – with no common pathogenic features with the atheromatous disease – but share a higher prevalence of standard cardiovascular risk and chronic inflammatory state. This review aims to highlight the associated cardiovascular risk that exists for some dermatologic diseases and sensitize cardiologists, dermatologists, and first care providers to implement risk factor control promptly.

Metin N, Turan Ç. Increases in uric acid and monocyte-high-density lipoprotein ratio as possible atherosclerotic indicators in acne patients using isotretinoin. J Cosmet Dermatol 2021; 20:2945-2949. [PMID: 33387386 DOI: 10.1111/jocd.13931] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2020] [Revised: 12/13/2020] [Accepted: 12/28/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to reveal the relationship of serum uric acid (SUA) with monocyte-high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) and other inflammatory markers in acne patients before and after isotretinoin treatment. In this way, we can try to shed light on the relationship between isotretinoin treatment and atherosclerosis. METHODS Two hundred twenty-four acne patients who administered isotretinoin (0.5-1 mg/kg/day) were enrolled in the study. In the pretreatment phase and 3 months after treatment, MHR, SUA, mean platelet volume, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio, monocyte-lymphocyte ratio, serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels of the patients were analyzed. RESULTS Compared to the pretreatment phase, three months after treatment, there was a statistically decrease in neutrophil count and an increase in lymphocyte count (p: 0.002, p: 0.011, respectively). Accordingly, there was a statistically significant decrease in NLR (p: 0.001). It was noteworthy that MHR and SUA levels increased significantly (p: 0.042, p: 0.010, respectively) and there was a positive correlation between SUA level and MHR (r: 0.212, p: 0.012). Serum total cholesterol, LDL, and triglyceride levels increased and HDL levels decreased significantly after treatment (p: 0.001). CONCLUSION This study contributes to the comprehension of the relationship between isotretinoin treatment and atherosclerosis, which has been frequently reported in the literature. It was thought that the isotretinoin-induced SUA increase might be related to dyslipidemia. Isotretinoin may initiate the atherosclerotic process in vascular endothelial and smooth muscles, with SUA increase and HDL decrease. An increase in MHR is also an inflammatory marker indicating this process.
