ABSTRACT
Background:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) causes premature mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Levels of soluble (s)RAGE change with aging, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. We assessed whether sRAGE was associated with increased risk of CVD in RA patients.Methods:
Serum sRAGE was measured in 184 female RA patients and analyzed with respect to CVD risk estimated by the Framingham algorithm (eCVR), metabolic profile and inflammation. Levels of sRAGE in 13 patients with known cardio-metabolic morbidity defined the cut-off for low sRAGE. Prospective 5-year follow-up of new CV and metabolic events was completed.Results:
Low sRAGE was significantly associated with previous history and with new imminent cardiometabolic events in the prospective follow-up of RA patients. In both cases, low sRAGE reflected higher estimation of CVR in those patients. Low sRAGE was attributed to adverse metabolic parameters including high fasting plasma glucose and body fat content rather than inflammation. The association of sRAGE and poor metabolic profile was prominent in patients younger than 50 years.Conclusions:
This study points at low sRAGE as a marker of metabolic failure developed during chronic inflammation. It highlights the importance for monitoring metabolic health in female RA patients for timely prevention of CVD. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov with ID NCT03449589.
