AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates how monocyte subsets change after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and their connection to inflammation in heart disease.
  • Intermediate monocytes (CD14++CD16+) were found to decrease shortly after PCI, recover in two weeks, and significantly increase at two months, particularly in patients with drug-eluting stents (DES).
  • Additionally, specific gene expressions and humoral biomarkers showed notable changes, with some remaining elevated for weeks post-procedure, indicating that the type of PCI might influence the inflammatory response.

Article Abstract

Aim: Inflammation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and in the sequelae of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Previous work demonstrated that intermediate monocytes (CD14++CD16+) are associated with adverse cardiovascular events, yet monocyte subset response following elective PCI has not been described. This article explores the changes in monocyte subset and humoral response after elective PCI.

Methods: This prospective study included 30 patients without inflammatory diseases being referred for elective PCI. We included patients treated with drug coated balloons or 2nd generation drug eluting stents. Patients underwent blood tests at baseline (prior to PCI), four hours, two weeks and two months later. Analyses were performed in terms of monocyte subsets (classical CD14++CD16-, intermediate CD14++CD16+ and non-classical CD14+CD16++), gene expression of CD14+ leucocytes and humoral biomarkers.

Results: Intermediate monocytes decreased significantly four hours after PCI, were recovered at two weeks, and increased significantly at two months post elective, uncomplicated PCI. They remain significantly elevated in the DES group but not in the DCB group. Gene expression analysis of CD14+ leucocytes showed IL18 had decreased expression at two weeks, CXCR4 and IL1β decreased at two months, while pentraxin 3 increased at two weeks and two months. In terms of humoral biomarkers, hsTnI remains elevated up to two weeks post PCI while IL6 and TNFα remain elevated till two months post PCI.

Conclusion: Intermediate monocytes increase significantly two months following elective, uncomplicated PCI. They remain significantly elevated in the DES group but not in the DCB group suggesting that the PCI strategy could be one of the ways to modulate the inflammatory response post PCI.

Background: There is significant interest in understanding the nature of the inflammatory response and its role in Alzheimers disease (AD) pathophysiology. Immune cell phenotypes and their key pathway activation by AD stage is unclear. We therefore evaluated immune cell phenotypes in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and their transcriptional profile comparing AD-dementia, Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI)-AD and normal cognition controls using transcriptomics.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers examined the link between gut microbiota and Autoimmune Liver Diseases (AILDs) using Mendelian Randomization, a method to infer causal relationships while minimizing bias.
  • Their analysis found that a higher involvement of gut microbiota correlates with increased risk for Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), with immune cells mediating part of this risk.
  • The study indicates that understanding these immune mechanisms could help inform preventive strategies for managing AILDs in clinical settings.

Introduction Many studies have supported inflammation as a mediator of lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) induced increase in cardiovascular disease risk, as it has pro-inflammatory effects on endothelial cells and monocytes. Aim This study aims to correlate Lp(a) level with different monocyte subsets in coronary atherosclerotic patients with different severity. Method The study included 60 patients with a mean age of 53.

Novel T-cell subsets as non-invasive biomarkers of vascular damage along the predialysis stages of chronic kidney disease.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of premature death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and vascular damage is often detected belatedly, usually evaluated by expensive and invasive techniques. CKD involves specific risk factors that lead to vascular calcification and atherosclerosis, where inflammation plays a critical role. However, there are few inflammation-related markers to predict vascular damage in CKD.

Background: This study aimed to identify specific biomarkers in oncology patients experiencing immune-related cytokine release syndrome (irCRS)-like symptoms during immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy, including severe cases like hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (irHLH), and to distinguish these from sepsis. A secondary objective was to retrospectively analyze the efficacy of tocilizumab (TCZ) in treating corticosteroid (CS)-refractory high-grade irCRS.

Patients And Methods: A cohort of 35 patients presenting with irCRS-like symptoms was studied, including 9 with irHLH-like manifestations and 8 with sepsis.
