Assessment of theE-Selectinrs5361 (561A>C) Polymorphism and Soluble Protein Concentration in Acute Coronary Syndrome: Association with Circulating Levels

Abstract: Introduction. The acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a complex disease where genetic and environmental factors are involved. E-selectin gene is a candidate for ACS progression due to its contribution in the inflammatory process and endothelial function. The rs5361 (561A>C) polymorphism in the E-selectin gene has been linked to changes in gene expression, affinity for its receptor, and plasmatic levels; therefore it is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to deter… Show more

“…13,14 The high level of sE-selectin observed in both diabetic groups compared with controls may be due to endothelial activation and inflammation in response to hyperglycemia; this activation and inflammation may occur regardless the presence or absence of CVDs. 15 In 2014, Sandoval-Pinto et al 16 evaluated serum levels of sE-selectin in 283 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and compared them with levels in 205 healthy subjects. They found that sEselectin levels were significantly higher in ACS patients compared with controls (54.58 versus 40.41 ng/ml, p ¼ 0.02).…”

“…However, after correcting E-selectin for gender, no difference was found for these levels in the HIV-infected group compared to the controls, and males still had higher E-selectin levels regardless of their HIV status. Both the significance of age and gender has been demonstrated in various other studies 5052. After the age of forty, the risk of CVD is increased by up to 49% in males and 32% in females, with males being 3.4 times more susceptible due to their naturally higher expression of E-selectin 50.…”

“…SELE (Selectin E) is an endothelial cell-specific surface protein involved in leukocyte attachment to endothelial cells. Previously, genetic variants of SELE were strongly associated with cardiovascular disease [ 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Interestingly, increased levels of soluble endothelial markers, including SELE, and endothelial dysfunction have been co-observed in AF patients [ 39 , 40 ].…”
