Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Markers of DNA damage and repair are present in both atherosclerotic plaques and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients with coronary artery disease. A positive correlation has been observed between the level of DNA damage and the severity of atherosclerotic lesions, as well as atherogenic risk factors such as smoking, hypertension and hyperlipidaemia. A number of in-vitro studies have implicated defective DNA repair in the development and progression of atherosclerotic lesions. In mouse models of atherosclerosis, the DNA repair signalling cascade has been shown to be amenable to pharmacological intervention and overexpression of specific repair proteins attenuate the development of atherosclerotic plaques. However, data regarding the role of DNA repair in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in humans are lacking. We have preliminary data indicating reduced DNA repair activity in patients with stable angina. This study will determine the molecular basis and the biological consequences of this observation.

    Arms and Interventions

    Arm Intervention/Treatment
    Patient Arm.

    Consecutive patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or isolated coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for symptomatic stable angina (SA) despite optimal medical therapy at the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust will be prospectively enrolled (n=86). No interventions administered. 40ml of whole blood in EDTA vials to be taken for cellular separation and analysis.

    Age and gender matched controls

    Age and gender-matched patients being investigated for chest pain with unobstructed coronary arteries, defined as coronary stenosis ≤ 30% in any major epicardial vessel on CT or invasive coronary angiography, will also be recruited as controls (n=86). 40ml of whole blood in EDTA vials to be taken for cellular separation and analysis.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Association between monocytes exhibiting reduced base excision repair and/or double strand break repair activity in patients with stable angina as compared to patients without coronary artery disease. [Blood will be collected at the time of hospital admission for index procedure. No follow-up of patients will be required.]

      This will be assessed using real-time polymerase chain reaction, western blotting and proteosomal degradation assay.

    2. Reduced DNA repair activity is associated with impaired response to oxidative stress in human monocytes in patients with stable angina in comparison to an age and gender matched control. [Blood will be collected at the time of hospital admission for index procedure. No follow-up of patients will be required.]
