    Relation of Cytokine Profile to Clinical and Hemodynamic Features in Young Patients With Congenital Heart Disease and Pulmonary Hypertension
    (2017) ZORZANELLI, Leina; MAEDA, Nair; CLAVE, Mariana; THOMAZ, Ana; GALAS, Filomena; RABINOVITCH, Marlene; LOPES, Antonio
    In congenital heart disease, severity of pulmonary hypertension and operability is defined by noninvasive parameters (clinical history, physical examination, and echocardiography) and sometimes, cardiac catheterization. We investigated how circulating levels of inflammatory mediators correlate with such parameters in a young pediatric population (age, 2.0 months to 3.1 years) and the effects of preoperative pulmonary vasodilator therapy with sildenafil. Cytokines were analyzed in serum using chemiluminescence signals. In the whole patient group (n = 47), interleukin 17E, a Th2 immune response mediator increased with increasing age, considered as a parameter of disease severity (R-2 = 0.24, p <0.001), whereas the angiogenic chemokine growth-regulated oncogene alpha decreased (R-2 = 0.21, p = 0.001). Macrophage migration inhibitory factor chemokine was greater in subjects with elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (n = 16, p = 0.022), whereas regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted chemokine was greater in subjects with pulmonary congestion due to increased pulmonary blood flow (n = 31, p = 0.037). The observations were the same for the specific subpopulation of patients with Down syndrome (p = 0.009 and p = 0.012 for migration inhibitory factor and regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted in the respective subgroups). Sildenafil administration to patients with elevated pulmonary vascular resistance resulted in improvement of pulmonary blood flow (p = 0.012) and systemic oxygen saturation (p = 0.010), with a decrease in serum interleukin 6 (p = 0.027) and soluble ICAM-1 (p = 0.011). In conclusion, levels of circulating inflammatory molecules seem to correlate with disease severity in this population, with potential pathophysiological and therapeutic implications.

    Serum Cytokines in Young Pediatric Patients with Congenital Cardiac Shunts and Altered Pulmonary Hemodynamics
    (2016) ZORZANELLI, Leina; MAEDA, Nair Yukie; CLAVE, Mariana Meira; AIELLO, Vera Demarchi; RABINOVITCH, Marlene; LOPES, Antonio Augusto
    Background and Objective. Inflammation is central in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension. We investigated how serum cytokines correlate with clinical features, hemodynamics, and lung histology in young patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital cardiac shunts. Design. Prospective, observational study. Methods and Results. Patients (n = 44) were aged 2.6 to 37.6 months. Group I patients (n = 31) were characterized by pulmonary congestion and higher pulmonary blood flow compared to group II (p = 0.022), with no need for preoperative cardiac catheterization. Group II patients (n = 13) had no congestive features. At catheterization, they had elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (5.7 [4.4-7.4] Wood units.m(2), geometric mean with 95% CI). Cytokines were measured by chemiluminescence. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) was found to be inversely related to pulmonary blood flow(r = -0.33,p = 0.026) and was higher in group II (high pulmonary vascular resistance) compared to group I (high pulmonary blood flow) (p = 0.017). In contrast, RANTES chemokine (regulated on activation, normal T cell expressed and secreted) was characteristically elevated in Group I (p = 0.022). Interleukin 16 was also negatively related to pulmonary blood flow (r(s) = -0.33, p = 0.029) and was higher in patients with obstructive vasculopathy at intraoperative lung biopsy (p = 0.021). Conclusion. Cytokines seem to be important and differentially regulated in subpopulations of young patients with cardiac shunts.
