Expression of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes signaling pathway in human coronary atherosclerotic lesions with different degrees of stenosis
To observe the pathological changes of myocardial tissue under differentdegrees of coronary atherosclerotic lesions,to measure the expression levels of proteins associated with the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase(cGAS)-stimulator of interferon genes(STING) signaling pathway in coronary arteries,and to investigate the role of cGAS-STING in the development and progression of coronary heart disease.
Methods
2
Eligible cases of coronary heart disease and control cases were selected and divided into control group with normal coronary arteries and grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and Ⅳ coronary artery stenosis groups. HE staining was used to observe and evaluate the pathological conditions of coronary arteries,Western blotting was used to measure the expression levels of downstream proteins of the cGAS-STING pathway in coronary tissue,and ELISA was used to measure the levels of inflammatory factors in coronary tissue. A correlation analysis was performed to investigate the correlation of the expression levels of downstream proteins of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and related inflammatory factors with the development and progression of coronary heart disease.
Results
2
Microscopic examination showed that compared with the control group,the other four groups had varying degrees of pathological changes such as vascular wall thickening and luminal stenosis,with a gradual increase in the degree of stenosis from grade Ⅰ to grade Ⅳ coronary lesions. Compared with the control group,the grade Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ,and Ⅳ coronary artery stenosis groups had significant increases in the expression levels of downstream proteins of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and related inflammatory factors in coronary tissue,with a trend of increase from grade Ⅰ to grade Ⅳ coronary lesions. The expression levels of downstream proteins of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway in coronary tissue were positively correlated with the development and progression of coronary heart disease(cGAS:

Conclusion
2
There are significant differences in the expression levels of downstream proteins of the cGAS-STING signaling pathway and related inflammatory factors,and this signaling pathway may be a potential target for the treatment of coronary heart disease.
