Abstract

Abstract: Background: Determination of predictors that can affect development of atherosclerosis progression in the postoperative period is an urgent problem in vascular surgery.

Objectives: Integrated assessment of markers of apoptosis and cell proliferation in atherosclerotic lesions and their progression after surgery in patients with peripheral arterial diseases.

Methods: The investigation included 30 patients with stage IIB-III peripheral arterial disease. All patients have undergone open surgical interventions on the arteries of the aorto-iliac and femoral-popliteal segments. During these interventions, intraoperative specimens were obtained from the vascular wall with atherosclerotic lesions. The following values were evaluated: VEGF А165, PDGF BB, and sFas. Samples of normal vascular wall were obtained from post-mortem donors and used as a control group.

Results: The levels of Bax and p53 were increased (p<0.001) in samples from arterial wall with atherosclerotic plaque, while sFas values were reduced (p<0.001), compared to their levels in control samples. Values of PDGF BB and VEGF A165 were 1.9 and 1.7 times higher in atherosclerotic lesion samples (p=0.001), in comparison with the control group. The levels of p53 and Bax were increased against a background of reduced sFas levels in samples with progression of atherosclerosis compared to their baseline values in samples with atherosclerotic plaque (p<0.05).

Conclusions: Initially increased values of the Bax marker against a background of reduced sFas values in vascular wall samples from patients with peripheral arterial disease is associated with risk of atherosclerosis progression in the postoperative period.

Resumo

Resumo: Contexto: A determinação de preditores que possam influenciar o desenvolvimento da progressão da aterosclerose no período pós-operatório é um problema urgente em cirurgia vascular.

Objetivos: Realizar uma avaliação integral de marcadores de apoptose e proliferação celular nas lesões ateroscleróticas e sua progressão após cirurgia em pacientes com doenças arteriais periféricas.

Métodos: A investigação incluiu 30 pacientes com doenças arteriais periféricas de estágio IIB-III. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a intervenções operatórias abertas nas artérias dos segmentos aorto-ilíaco e fêmoro-poplíteo. Durante a intervenção, foi obtido material intraoperatório da parede vascular com lesões ateroscleróticas. Foram avaliados os seguintes valores: VEGF A165, PDGF BB e sFas. Como grupo controle, amostras de parede vascular normal foram obtidas de doadores post-mortem.

Resultados: O nível de Bax e p53 (p < 0,001) em amostras de parede arterial com placa aterosclerótica estava elevado em meio a valores reduzidos de sFas (p < 0,001) em comparação ao grupo controle. Os valores de PDGF BB e VEGF A165 foram 1,9 e 1,7 vezes maiores, respectivamente, nas amostras com lesão aterosclerótica (p = 0,001) do que no grupo controle. O nível de Bax e p53 e Bax estava elevado no contexto de nível reduzido de sFas em amostras com progressão da aterosclerose em comparação com seus valores basais em amostras com placa aterosclerótica (p < 0,05).

Conclusões: Níveis inicialmente elevados do marcador Bax no contexto de valores reduzidos de sFas na parede vascular em pacientes com doença arterial periférica estão associados a risco de progressão da aterosclerose no período pós-operatório.
