Examination of adhesion molecules, homocysteine and hs-CRP in patients with polygenic hypercholesterolemia and isolated hypertriglyceridemia

BACKGROUND: Increased levels of selectins, adhesion molecules, hs-CRP and homocysteine are considered important as indicators of atherosclerosis. There is a significant amount of evidence that high LDL-C levels are a risk factor for coronary artery disease, whereas the relevance of isolated triglycerides is controversial. The present study aims to compare the levels of homocysteine, hs-CRP, E-selectin, sP-selectin, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 in patients with isolated hypertriglyceridemia and polygenic hypercholesterolemia.

METHODS: The following three groups were formed: polygenic hypercholesterolemia group (n=30), isolated hypertriglyceridemia group (n=30) and control group (n=30). These three groups were matched in terms of BMI, waist circumference and gender. Plasma high sensitive CRP, homocysteine, sVCAM-1, sICAM-1, sP-selectin, sE-Selectin levels of patients in these three groups were measured.

RESULTS: In the present study, mean values for sE-selectin, sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 in the polygenic hypercholesterolemia group were significantly higher than in the other two groups (p<0.001). Homocysteine and hs-CRP levels were higher in the polygenic hypercholesterolemia group, compared to the isolated hypertriglyceridemia group (p=0.019, p<0.001; respectively) and the control group (p<0.001, p<0.001; respectively). Comparison of patients with hypertriglyceridemia to individuals in the control group did not yield a significant difference in terms of sE-selectin, sP-selectin, sVCAM-1, sICAM and homocysteine (p>0.05), where as the hs-CRP value was significantly higher in patients with isolated hypertriglyceridemia compared to the control group (p=0.001).

CONCLUSION: The increase of adhesion molecules, homocysteine and hs-CRP in polygenic hypercholesterolemia subjects compared to the isolated hypertriglyceridemia group reflects their high cardiovascular risk.
