Abstract EN
Objective.
To investigate the correlation of CTRP9 with coronary atherosclerosis.
Methods.
Coronary angiography confirmed CAD in 241 patients (62 received CABG) and non-CAD in 121 (55 received valve replacement).
Results.
Serum levels of LDL-C, CRP, TNF-α, IL-6, and leptin in CAD patients were significantly higher than those in non-CAD patients ( P < 0.05 ), but APN and CTRP9 were lower ( P < 0.05 ).
Serum levels of CTRP9 and APN were negatively related to BMI, HOMA-IR, TNF-α, IL-6, and leptin but positively to HDL-C ( P < 0.05 ) in CAD patients.
After adjustment of APN, CTRP9 was still related to the above parameters.
Serum CTRP9 was a protective factor of CAD ( P < 0.05 ).
When compared with non-CAD patients, leptin mRNA expression increased dramatically, while CTRP9 mRNA expression reduced markedly in epicardial adipose tissue of CAD patients ( P < 0.05 ).
The leptin expression and macrophage count in CAD group were significantly higher than in non-CAD group, but CAD patients had a markedly lower CTRP9 expression ( P < 0.05 ).
Conclusions.
Circulating and coronary CTRP9 plays an important role in the inflammation and coronary atherosclerosis of CAD patients.
Serum CTRP9 is an independent protective factor of CAD.
