Popis: Background— The molecular pathophysiology of coronary artery disease (CAD) includes cytokine release and a localized inflammatory response within the vessel wall. The extent to which CAD and its severity is reflected by gene expression in circulating cells is unknown. Methods and Results— From an initial coronary catheterization cohort we identified 41 patients, comprising 27 cases with angiographically significant CAD and 14 controls without coronary stenosis. Whole-genome microarray analysis performed on peripheral-blood mononuclear cells yielded 526 genes with >1.3-fold differential expression ( P P P Conclusions— Gene expression in peripheral-blood cells reflects the presence and extent of CAD in patients undergoing angiography.
