sphingosine-1-phosphate and Coronary-Restenosis

High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-associated sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) contributed to several beneficial effects in the cardiovascular system. We explored the relationship between the HDL-S1P concentrations and coronary in-stent restenosis (ISR).. Fifty consecutive patients with ISR and 50 normal control subjects were included. The serum S1P, HDL-S1P and clinical data were collected to explore the relationships between these parameters and ISR.. The patients with ISR had significantly lower concentrations of serum S1P (96.10 ± 26.33 vs. 113.40 ± 32.72; P = 0.004) and HDL-S1P (32.81 ± 10.02 vs. 42.72 ± 11.75; P < 0.001). All included patients were divided into four quartiles based on their concentrations of HDL-S1P: Quartile 1 (18.63-28.51 ng/ml), Quartile 2 (28.62-37.28 ng/ml), Quartile 3 (37.35-45.27 ng/ml), and Quartile 4 (45.59-79.36 ng/ml). The rates of ISR were 84%, 48%, 40% and 28%, respectively. The patients in Quartile 1 exhibited significantly higher rates of ISR compared with the other groups (P = 0.001). A multivariate stepwise logistic regression analysis indicated that HDL-S1P (OR = 0.846, 95% CI = 0.767-0.932, P = 0.001) was an independent predictor of ISR. An ROC analysis indicated that HDL-S1P = 30.37 ng/ml and had a 90% sensitivity and a 52% specificity in predicting ISR.. HDL-S1P is an independent predictor of ISR, and patients with higher concentrations of HDL-S1P have a low risk of ISR.
