- W4213029487 abstract "Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a nightly respiratory condition characterized by intermittent hypoxia, leading to oxidative stress, inflammation, and atherosclerosis. However, most cellular markers of human carotid plaques in SDB have not yet been assessed. We aimed at characterizing the cellular, inflammatory, and nitro-oxidative stress markers in carotid plaques obtained from 25 patients undergoing endarterectomy and screened for SDB. Sleep studies were performed during their preoperative hospitalization night using the Watch-PAT 100 device. Oxygen desaturation index (ODI) was used for dividing patients into two groups. Fourteen patients with ODI >5 were designated as SDB and 11 patients with ODI ≤ 5 as non-SDB. Demographics, comorbidities, cardiovascular risk factors, and medications were recorded. Cellular markers in plaques were analyzed by immunofluorescence using confocal microscopy. The expression of neutrophils was identified by CD66b+ and neutrophil elastase, macrophage-foam cells were identified by CD163+, and scavenger receptors by CD68+ and CD36+ expression. Additional markers included 3-nitrotyrosine, endothelial CD31, and smooth muscle cell-actin (SMC-actin). Plaques' lipids were determined by immunohistochemistry with Oil Red O staining. Notably, significantly higher values were found for SDB as compared to patients with non-SDB for 3-nitrotyrosine (p <0.004) and intracellular lipids' content (p <0.02), whereas SMC-actin was lower (p <0.006). There were no significant differences between patients with carotid-associated symptoms (symptomatic) and patients without carotid-associated symptoms (asymptomatic). However, a sub-group of symptomatic patients with co-existent SDB expressed the highest 3-nitrotyrosin, and intracellular lipids levels, and the lowest SMC-actin levels, whereas non-SDB/asymptomatic patients expressed the lowest 3-nitrotyrosin and lipids levels and the highest SMS-actin levels among all patients. Accordingly, ODI was lowest in non-SDB/asymptomatic patients and highest in SDB/symptomatic. In conclusion, plaques of patients with SDB were characterized by markedly increased levels of 3-nitrotyrosine and intracellular lipids content. Conversely, SMC-actin levels were significantly lower. These three markers, such as increased 3-nitrotyrosine and intracellular lipids and decreased SMC-actin are associated with plaque vulnerability and instability. These findings are in line with earlier reports demonstrating increased intima-media thickness in large cohorts of sleep apnea and patients with SDB, and thus, may indicate a higher susceptibility to plaque vulnerability and rapture in patients with SDB." @default.
