Viral Agents and Systemic Levels of Inflammatory Cytokines in Vulnerable and Stable Atherosclerotic Carotid Plaques
<p>Mazzaccaro D, Dolci M, Perego F, Delbue S, Giannetta M, Cardani R, Valentina Renna L, Costa E, Corsi-Romanelli MM, Galli C, Pariani E, Nano G, Clemente C, Basilico N. Viral Agents and Systemic Levels of Inflammatory Cytokines in Vulnerable and Stable Atherosclerotic Carotid Plaques. Ann Vasc Surg. 2021 Dec 11:S0890-5096(21)00912-2. doi: 10.1016/j.avsg.2021.10.070. Epub ahead of print. PMID: 34902464.</p> <p>Abstract</p> <p><strong>Background: </strong>To investigate the presence of genetic material of viral agents and the serum level of inflammatory cytokines in patients submitted to carotid endarterectomy having vulnerable versus stable atherosclerotic plaques.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>Data of patients consecutively submitted to carotid endarterectomy for a significant stenosis from July 2019 to December 2019 were prospectively collected. The genetic material of Epstein-Barr (EBV), CitoMegalo (CMV), Herpes Simplex (HSV), Varicella-Zoster (VZV) and Influenza (IV) Viruses was searched in the patient's plaques, both in the "mid" of the plaque and in an adjacent lateral portion of no-plaque area. The serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL10 and CCL5 were determined. The obtained results were then correlated to the histologic vulnerability of the removed carotid plaque. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Data of 50 patients were analyzed. A vulnerable plaque was found in 31 patients (62%). The genome of CMV, HSV, VZV and IV was not found in any of the vascular samples, while the EBV genome was found in the "mid" of 2 vulnerable plaques, but not in their respective control area. Eighty-two percent of patients who did not receive anti-IV vaccination (23/28) had vulnerable carotid plaque, compared with 36% of vaccinated patients (8/22, P = 0.001). Serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were higher in patients with a vulnerable plaque compared to patients with a stable plaque (73.6 ± 238.2 vs. 3.9 ± 13.1 pg/ml, P= 0.01, and 45.9 ± 103.6 vs. 10.1 ± 25.3 pg/ml, P= 0.01, respectively), independent of comorbidities, viral exposure or flu vaccination.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The EBV genome was found in the "core" of 2 vulnerable carotid plaques, but not in their respective adjacent control. Influenza vaccination was associated with a lower incidence of carotid plaque vulnerability. Serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were higher in patients with a vulnerable plaque compared to patients with a stable plaque.</p>
