ABSTRACT
Mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue 1 (MALT1) regulates inflammation and T helper (Th) cell differentiation, which may participate in the progression of Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD). This study intended to assess the association of MALT1 expression with prognosis in TAAD patients. In this prospective study, MALT1 expression was measured by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay from peripheral blood samples in 100 TAAD patients and 100 non-AD controls (non-AD patients with chest pain) before treatment. Besides, Th1, Th2, and Th17 cells of TAAD patients before treatment were measured by flow cytometry assay, and their 30-day mortality was recorded. MALT1 expression was ascended in TAAD patients vs. non-AD controls (P < 0.001). In TAAD patients, elevated MALT1 expression was linked with hypertension complication (P = 0.009), increased systolic blood pressure (r = 0.291, P = 0.003), C-reactive protein (CRP) (r = 0.286, P = 0.004), and D-dimer (r = 0.359, P < 0.001). Additionally, MALT1 expression was positively correlated with Th1 cells (r = 0.312, P = 0.002) and Th17 cells (r = 0.397, P < 0.001), but not linked with Th2 cells (r = -0.166, P = 0.098). Notably, the 30-day mortality of TAAD patients was 28.0%. MALT1 expression [odds ratio (OR) = 1.936, P = 0.004], CRP (OR = 1.108, P = 0.002), D-dimer (OR = 1.094, P = 0.003), and surgery timing (emergency vs. selective) (OR = 8.721, P = 0.024) independently predicted increased risk of death within 30 days in TAAD patients. Furthermore, the combination of the above-mentioned independent factors had an excellent ability in predicting 30-day mortality with the area under curve of 0.949 (95% confidence interval 0.909-0.989). MALT1 expression relates to increased Th1 cells, Th17 cells, and 30-day mortality risk in TAAD patients.
