Atorvastatin in stable angina patients lowers CCL2 and ICAM1 expression: Pleiotropic evidence from plasma mRNA analysesMirjanić-Azarić, Bosa ...OBJECTIVE: Statin pleiotropy is still an evolving concept, and the lack of clarity on this subject is due at least in part to the lack of a definitive biomarker for statin pleiotropy. Using plasma ... mRNA analysis as a novel research tool for the non-invasive in vivo assessment of gene expression in vascular beds, we hypothesised that atorvastatin lowers the plasma mRNA level from statin pleiotropy-target genes, and the reduction is independent of the reduction of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). DESIGN AND METHODS: Forty-four patients with stable angina received atorvastatin therapy (20mg/day, 10weeks). Plasma chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM1) mRNA levels and their protein concentrations (MCP-1, sICAM-1) were analysed before and after the treatment. Plasma vascular adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) concentrations were also analysed. RESULTS: Atorvastatin lowered plasma mRNA levels (CCL2: -31.76%, p=0.037; ICAM1: -34.09%, p<0.001) and MCP-1 protein concentration (-18.88%, p=0.008) but did not lower sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 protein concentrations, and the decreases appeared to be independent from the lowering of LDL-C. The plasma mRNA levels correlated with their protein concentrations following statin treatment only. CONCLUSION: Our results significantly strengthen the clinical evidence in support of statin pleiotropy. Furthermore, this unique simultaneous measurement of plasma mRNAs and their protein concentrations offers an advanced non-invasive in vivo assessment of the circulation pathology.Source: Clinical biochemistry. - ISSN 0009-9120 (Vol. 46, iss. 15, 2013, str. 1526-1531)Type of material - article, component partPublish date - 2013Language - englishCOBISS.SI-ID - 3507569
