Objective :To investigate the association of soluble Fas ligand (sFasL) and soluble Fas receptor (sFas) with human chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). Methods :The serum level of sFasL and sFas in 33 patients with CHF (13 in cardiac function class Ⅱ
17 in class Ⅲ
3 in class Ⅳ
NYHA) was assessed with enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay
and was compared with that of 18 age
gender and blood pressure - matched patients with cardiac function class Ⅰ (NYHA). Results: There was no difference in the level of sFasL between the two groups [ CHF group: 231. 50 ± 84. 50 (cardiac function class Ⅱ 216.50 ± 96.00
class Ⅲ 226.80 ± 85.70
claas Ⅳ 244.00 ± 73.00) vs. cardiac function class Ⅰ group: 217. 50 ± 89. 00 pg/ml
P > 0. 05 ]. However
the level of sFas was significantly higher in the patients with CHF than those of the cardiac function class Ⅰ group [CHF group: 1353. 30 ± 507. 71 (cardiac function class Ⅱ 1154. 85 ± 371.20
class Ⅲ 1412. 88 ± 493. 62
class Ⅳ 1875.67 ± 806. 10) vs. cardiac function class Ⅰ group:983. 11 ± 416.26 pg/ml
P<0. 05]. Conclusion :sFasL was not associated with human CHF. However
the elevation of serum level of sFas was proportionate to the severity of human CHF. sFas may play an important role in the pathogenesis of human CHF.
