Increased Circulating Angiopoietin-Like Protein 8 Levels Are Associated with Thoracic Aortic Dissection and Higher Inflammatory Conditions

Purpose Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is characterized by an inflammatory response. Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) is a hormone involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and inflammation. However, the relationship between ANGPTL8 and TAD remains unknown. Methods This case-control stud...

Zusammenfassung:Purpose Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is characterized by an inflammatory response. Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8) is a hormone involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and inflammation. However, the relationship between ANGPTL8 and TAD remains unknown. Methods This case-control study included 78 TAD patients and 72 controls. The aortic diameter was evaluated by computed tomography and used to assess TAD severity. Circulating ANGPTL8 levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Associations of ANGPTL8 with TAD were determined by multivariate logistic regression. Results Serum ANGPTL8 levels were significantly higher in TAD patients compared with controls (562.50 ± 20.84 vs. 419.70 ± 22.65 pg/mL, respectively; P
