Relationship of proteins and subclinical cardiovascular traits in the population-based LIFE-Adult study.
Atherosclerosis 398:118613 (2024)
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Understanding molecular processes of the early phase of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease conditions is of utmost importance for early prediction and intervention measures. METHODS: We measured 92 cardiovascular-disease-related proteins (Olink, Cardiovascular III) in 2024 elderly participants of the population-based LIFE-Adult study. We analysed the impact of 27 covariables on these proteins including blood counts, cardiovascular risk factors and life-style-related parameters. We also analysed protein associations with 13 subclinical cardiovascular traits comprising carotid intima media thickness, plaque burden, three modes of Vicorder-based pulse-wave velocities, ankle-brachial index and ECLIA-based N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP). RESULTS: Estimated glomerular filtration rate, triglycerides and sex where the most relevant covariables explaining more than 1 % variance of 49, 22 and 20 proteins, respectively. A total of 43 proteins were significantly associated with at least one of the analysed subclinical cardiovascular traits. NT-pro-BNP, brachial-ankle pulse-wave velocity (baPWV) and parameters of carotid plaque burden accounted for the largest number of associations. Association overlaps were relatively sparse. Only growth/differentiation factor 15, low density lipoprotein receptor and interleukin-1 receptor type 2 are associated with these three different cardiovascular traits. We confirmed several literature findings and found yet unreported associations for carotid plaque presence (von-Willebrand factor, galectin 4), carotid intima-media thickness (carboxypeptidase A1 andB1), baPWV (cathepsin D) and NT-proBNP (cathepsin Z, low density lipoprotein receptor, neurogenic locus homolog protein 3, trem-like transcript 2). Sex-interaction effects were observed, e.g. for spondin-1 and growth/differentiation factor 15 likely regulated by androgen response elements. CONCLUSIONS: We extend the catalogue of proteome biomarkers possibly involved in early stages of cardiovascular disease pathologies providing targets for early risk prediction or intervention strategies.
