Soluble ST2 Levels and Left Ventricular Structure and Function in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome

Abstract: BackgroundA biomarker that is of great interest in relation to adverse cardiovascular events is soluble ST2 (sST2), a member of the interleukin family. Considering that metabolic syndrome (MetS) is accompanied by a proinflammatory state, we aimed to assess the relationship between sST2 and left ventricular (LV) structure and function in patients with MetS.MethodsA multicentric, cross-sectional study was conducted on180 MetS subjects with normal LV ejection fraction as determined by echocardiography. LV hypertr… Show more

“…155 However, sex differences become apparent in older children (≥15 years), with males demonstrating higher levels of sST2 compared with females. 155 These sex-related differences persist in both healthy individuals 41,43,156,157 (average median values ± SD: 24.0 ± 0.78 μg/L in men and 17.2 ± 1.18 μg/L in women), as well as in HF patients 52,81,158 (Figure 3B). Although male sex appears to be consistently associated with higher sST2 levels, the direct effect of sex hormones may only partly explain this phenomenon.…”

“…sST2 levels are also increased in patients suffering from intestinal (1316) and metabolic diseases (27, 28, 197, 198); however, the data from these studies so far are correlative and have not passed the qualification for biomarkers that can be used in clinic (199). …”

“…In a multicenter, cross-sectional study of 180 patients with metabolic syndrome with normal LV ejection fraction, LV mass index was independently associated with serum sST2 concentrations. Increased sST2 associated with increased likelihood of LV hypertrophy and increased systolic blood pressure ( 198 ). New-onset posttransplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a common occurrence after allo-HCT.…”

“…IL-33/ST2 signals have anti- or pro- inflammatory effects in diseases by activating cells of innate and adaptive immune systems, but it is still unclear what kind of immune cells are first induced to produce IL-33 ( 28 ). IL-33 can have protective properties in atherosclerosis development ( 30 ) and blood concentrations of sST2 are markedly increased in cardiac diseases ( 31 ) and metabolic syndrome ( 32 ).…”
