P-selectin and subclinical and clinical atherosclerosis: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)

Abstract: Objective P-selectin is a cellular adhesion molecule that has been shown to be crucial in development of coronary heart disease (CHD). We sought to determine the role of P-selectin on the risk of atherosclerosis in a large multi-ethnic population. Methods Data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), including 1628 African, 702 Chinese, 2393 non-Hispanic white, and 1302 Hispanic Americans, were used to investigate the association of plasma P-selectin with CHD risk factors, coronary artery calci… Show more

“…In a cross-sectional analysis of the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study, P-selectin levels were found to be higher in those with prevalent diabetes compared with those with normal or impaired glucose tolerance [26]. Similarly, in an earlier analysis of the MESA cohort, we found that prevalence of diabetes increased from lower to higher categories of P-selectin level, and there was heterogeneity across racial/ ethnic groups in the strength of association between P-selectin and outcomes such as prevalent diabetes and coronary artery calcium [27]. In the Framingham Study, no associations were found between P-selectin and incident diabetes in adjusted models, in accordance with the present results [28].…”

“…Hwang et al 14 identified lower circulation of sICAM-1 in African Americans compared to subjects of European ancestry, while significant racial/ethnic differences in sICAM-1 concentrations were similarly observed between Asian, Hispanic, black, and non-Hispanic white subjects in the Women’s Health Study 18 . Racial/ethnic differences have also been observed for sP-selectin 19 , sE-selectin 17, 20 and vWF 21, 22 . Although circulating levels of CAMs are highly heritable 23, 24 , and genetic studies have consistently identified associations between soluble levels and the ABO locus 25-29 , associations between ABO blood type and endothelial markers in diverse populations have not been extensively studied.…”

“…Stored in the alpha-granules of platelets, in a setting of inflammation P-selectin translocates to the plasma membrane where it can interact with ligands [84] leading to leukocyte-platelet aggregates that promote adhesion and infiltration of inflammatory cells [85][86][87][88]. sP-selectin has been associated with adiposity and both clinical and subclinical atherosclerosis [89] and has been shown to predict atherosclerosis independently of BMI and other CVD risk factors. The enhanced plasma concentrations of P-selectin in overweight and obese insulin resistant subjects [61,90] are reduced after weight loss [61].…”
