Peripheral arterial occlusive disease: Global gene expression analyses suggest a major role for immune and inflammatory responses

Abstract: Background: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a major manifestation of atherosclerosis, is associated with significant cardiovascular morbidity, limb loss and death. However, mechanisms underlying the genesis and progression of the disease are far from clear. Genome-wide gene expression profiling of clinical samples may represent an effective approach to gain relevant information.

“…10 The microarray analysis identified important up-and downregulated genes involved in the pathogenesis and progression of POAD. A selected panel of 10 relevant genes in POAD Adding to the study by Fu et al, 8 which pointed out important inflammatory genes that can serve as signatures for disease progression in POAD, our study revealed another set of biomarkers involved in the onset and progression of POAD.…”

“…6 Investigators have argued that a broad alteration of endothelial function may be a critical mechanism that links systemic inflammation to atherosclerosis. 7 Fu et al 8 found a significant correlation between inflammatory response and disease progression. By microarray analysis they identified upregulated inflammatory genes in intermediate and advanced stages of peripheral arterial disease.…”

“…[16] although the number of genes measured in these studies ranged from 205 to 47,000. Fifteen of the nineteen consensus genes were represented in the gene list from the non-human primate model [17] and ten differentially expressed genes were found in the list from human femoral artery [14]. The remaining publications each contained five or fewer genes from the consensus list.…”

“…Surprisingly, many of the differentially regulated genes in this study have not been reported to be related to atherosclerosis before. 77 A similar approach was used by Evans et al, who classified 335 genes as differentially regulated between normal and diseased arteries. Moreover, they were able to acknowledge a gene expression signature for PAD and an associated diabetic phenotype in PAD.…”
