Abstract

Slow coronary flow (SCF) is a coronary artery disorder characterized with delayed opacification of epicardial coronary arteries without obstructive coronary disease. The pathophysiological mechanisms of SCF remain un clear. One of the possible mechanisms that may participate in the pa t hology of SCF is endothelial dysfunction related to the in - fla m ma tory process. Interferon gamma (IFN-g) is an inflam - ma tory cytokine that acts through its specific receptor com - posed of two subunits, IFN-gR1 and IFN-gR2. Trans criptional activity of the gene encoding these subunits influen ces IFNg activity. This study aimed to investigate the gene expression of IFN-g re ceptor subunits in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with SCF. The study was performed with 30 patients (22 male/8 female) aged 35–76 (52.8±11.7 years) with SCF and 15 sex- (11 male/4 female), Body Max Index (BMI)- and age-matched (54.73±9.42 years) healthy subjects. Total mRNA was extracted from PBMC and was determi - ned by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The relative expression values (2-DDCt) between control and case groups were determined and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical analysis. There was a significant increase in the gene ex - pres sion of IFN-gR1 in PBMC from SCF patients vs. con- Kratak sadr`aj Spor koronarni protok (SKP) kao poreme}aj koro - narnih arterija odlikuje odlo`ena opacifikacija epikardijalnih koronarnih arterija bez opstruktivne koronarne bolesti. Pato - fiziolo{ki mehanizmi SKP jo{ su nerazja{njeni. Jedan od me - hanizama koji potencijalno u~estvuju u patologiji SKP je endotelna disfunkcija povezana sa inflamatornim procesom. Interferon gama (IFN-g) je inflamatorni citokin koji de luje preko svog specifi~nog receptora sastavljenog od dve podjedinice, IFN-gR1 i IFN-gR2. Transkripciona aktiv nost gena koji kodira ove dve podjedinice uti~e na aktivnost IFN-g. Cilj ove studije bio je da se istra`i genska ekspresija podjedinica receptora IFN-g u mononuklearnim }elijama periferne krvi (M]PK) pacijenata sa SKP. Studijom je obuhva}eno 30 pacijenata (23 mu{ - ka rca / 7 `ena) starosti 35–76 (52,8±11,7) godina sa SKP i 15 (11 mu{karaca / 4 `ene) zdravih subjekata odgovaraju} eg pola, indeksa telesne mase (ITM) i starosti (54,73 ±9,42 godina). Ukupna mRNK je ekstrahovana iz M]PK i odre |e na pomo}u qRT-PCR. Odre|ene su relativne vrednosti eks presije izme|u kontrolne i grupe pacijenata a Man- Vitnijev U test je upotrebljen za statisti~ku ana lizu. Postojao je zna~ajan porast genske ekspresije IFN-gR1 u M]PK pacijenata sa SKP u pore|enju s kontrolama (P<0,0001), ali razlike izme|u genske ekspresije
