Circulating Endothelial Microparticles in Diabetes Mellitus
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND Endothelial Microparticles (EMPs) are small vesicles shed from activated or apoptotic endothelial cells and involved in cellular cross-talk. Whether EMP immunophenotypes vary according to stimulus in Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is not known. We studied the cellular adhesion molecule (CAM) profile of circulating EMPs in patients with and without Diabetes Mellitus type 2, who were undergoing elective cardiac catheterization. METHODS AND RESULTS EMPs were analyzed by flow cytometry. The absolute median number of EMPs (EMPs/microL) specific for CD31, CD105, and CD106 was significantly increased in the DM population. The ratio of CD62E/CD31 EMP populations reflected an apoptotic process. CONCLUSION Circulating CD31+, CD105+, and CD106+ EMPs were significantly elevated in patients with DM. EMPs were the only independent predictors of DM in our study cohort. In addition, the EMP immunophenotype reflected an apoptotic process. Circulating EMPs may provide new options for risk assessment.

T ype 2 diabetes is associated with prolonged and exaggerated postprandial hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia, endothelial dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) (1–7). Endothelial dysfunction may link postprandial dysmetabolism to CVD (5–7). Since the postprandial state unveils the full scope of metabolic abnormalities in type 2 diabetes, previous studies (1) in fasting subjects may...

BACKGROUND Circulating microRNAs (miRs) are differentially regulated and selectively packaged into microparticles (MPs). We evaluated whether diabetes mellitus alters circulating vascular and endothelial MP-incorporated miRs expression levels. METHODS AND RESULTS Circulating MPs were isolated from 135 patients with or without diabetes mellitus type II and characterized using flow cytometer an...

OBJECTIVE Endothelial dysfunction predicts morbidity and mortality in patients at cardiovascular risk. Endothelial function may be decisively influenced by the degree of endothelial cell apoptosis. METHODS AND RESULTS To test this hypothesis in humans, endothelial-dependent vasodilatation was invasively assessed in 50 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) by quantitative coronary angiog...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine whether CD144-EMP (endothelium-derived microparticles) is useful as a specific marker of endothelial cell (EC) dysfunction and to determine whether plasma levels of circulating CD144-EMP predicted coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). BACKGROUND Endothelial cell dysfunction is involved in atherogenesis...

Endothelial cell dysfunction (ECD) is emerging as the common denominator for diverse and highly prevalent cardiovascular diseases. Recently, an increased number of procoagulant circulating endothelial microparticles (EMPs) has been identified in patients with acute myocardial ischemia, preeclampsia, and diabetes, which suggests that these particles represent a surrogate marker of ECD. Our previ...
