  • Genetic basis of lacunar stroke : a pooled analysis of individual patient data and genome-wide association studies
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: The Lancet Neurology. - 1474-4422. ; 20:5, s. 351-361
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: The genetic basis of lacunar stroke is poorly understood, with a single locus on 16q24 identified to date. We sought to identify novel associations and provide mechanistic insights into the disease. Methods: We did a pooled analysis of data from newly recruited patients with an MRI-confirmed diagnosis of lacunar stroke and existing genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Patients were recruited from hospitals in the UK as part of the UK DNA Lacunar Stroke studies 1 and 2 and from collaborators within the International Stroke Genetics Consortium. Cases and controls were stratified by ancestry and two meta-analyses were done: a European ancestry analysis, and a transethnic analysis that included all ancestry groups. We also did a multi-trait analysis of GWAS, in a joint analysis with a study of cerebral white matter hyperintensities (an aetiologically related radiological trait), to find additional genetic associations. We did a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) to detect genes for which expression is associated with lacunar stroke; identified significantly enriched pathways using multi-marker analysis of genomic annotation; and evaluated cardiovascular risk factors causally associated with the disease using mendelian randomisation. Findings: Our meta-analysis comprised studies from Europe, the USA, and Australia, including 7338 cases and 254 798 controls, of which 2987 cases (matched with 29 540 controls) were confirmed using MRI. Five loci (ICA1L-WDR12-CARF-NBEAL1, ULK4, SPI1-SLC39A13-PSMC3-RAPSN, ZCCHC14, ZBTB14-EPB41L3) were found to be associated with lacunar stroke in the European or transethnic meta-analyses. A further seven loci (SLC25A44-PMF1-BGLAP, LOX-ZNF474-LOC100505841, FOXF2-FOXQ1, VTA1-GPR126, SH3PXD2A, HTRA1-ARMS2, COL4A2) were found to be associated in the multi-trait analysis with cerebral white matter hyperintensities (n=42 310). Two of the identified loci contain genes (COL4A2 and HTRA1) that are involved in monogenic lacunar stroke. The TWAS identified associations between the expression of six genes (SCL25A44, ULK4, CARF, FAM117B, ICA1L, NBEAL1) and lacunar stroke. Pathway analyses implicated disruption of the extracellular matrix, phosphatidylinositol 5 phosphate binding, and roundabout binding (false discovery rate <0·05). Mendelian randomisation analyses identified positive associations of elevated blood pressure, history of smoking, and type 2 diabetes with lacunar stroke. Interpretation: Lacunar stroke has a substantial heritable component, with 12 loci now identified that could represent future treatment targets. These loci provide insights into lacunar stroke pathogenesis, highlighting disruption of the vascular extracellular matrix (COL4A2, LOX, SH3PXD2A, GPR126, HTRA1), pericyte differentiation (FOXF2, GPR126), TGF-β signalling (HTRA1), and myelination (ULK4, GPR126) in disease risk. Funding: British Heart Foundation.

  • Cardiac sympathetic nerve stimulation triggers coronary t-PA release.
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Arteriosclerosis, thrombosis, and vascular biology. - 1524-4636. ; 23:6, s. 1091-7
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to determine whether stimulation of sympathetic cardiac nerves induces release of the thrombolytic enzyme tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) in the coronary vascular bed. METHODS AND RESULTS: Anesthetized pigs were studied in an open chest model. Bilateral vagotomy was performed, and sympathetic cardiac nerves were activated by electrical stimulation (1 and 8 Hz). To evaluate possible mediating effects of increased heart rate and enhanced local blood flow, tachycardia was induced by pacing and hyperemia by local infusion of sodium nitroprusside and clevedipine. Furthermore, to study the effects of alpha- and beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation, phenylephrine and isoprenaline were infused locally. In response to low- and high-frequency sympathetic stimulation, mean coronary net release of total t-PA increased approximately 6- and 25-fold, respectively. Active t-PA showed a similar response pattern. Neither tachycardia nor coronary hyperemia stimulated t-PA release. In contrast, beta-adrenergic stimulation by isoprenaline induced an approximately 6-fold increase in coronary t-PA release, whereas no significant change in release rates occurred in response to alpha-adrenergic stimulation by phenylephrine. CONCLUSIONS: Stimulation of cardiac sympathetic nerves induces a marked coronary release of t-PA, and part of this response may be mediated through stimulation of beta-adrenergic receptors.

  • Long-term trends in the prevalence of patients hospitalized with ischemic stroke from 1995 to 2010 in Sweden
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Plos One. - : Public Library of Science (PLoS). - 1932-6203. ; 12:6
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objective The prevalence of stroke is expected to increase partly because of prolonged life expectancy in the general population. The objective of this study was to investigate trends in the prevalence of patients hospitalized with ischemic stroke (IS) in Sweden from 1995-2010. The Swedish inpatient and cause-specific death registries were used to estimate the absolute numbers and prevalence of patients who were hospitalized with and survived an IS from 1995-2010. The overall number of IS increased from 129,418 in 1995 to 148,778 in 2010. In 1995, the prevalence of IS was 189 patients per 10,000 population. An increase in overall prevalence was observed until 2000, and then it remained stable, followed by a decline with an annual percentage change of (APC)-0.8% (95% CI -1.0 to 0.6) and with a final prevalence of 199 patients per 10,000 population in 2010. The prevalence of IS in people aged <45 years increased from 6.4 in 1995 to 7.6 patients per 10,000 population in 2010, with an APC of 2.1% (95% CI 0.9 to 3.4) from 1995-1998 and 0.7% (95% CI 0.6-0.9) from 1998-2010. Among those aged 45-54 years, the prevalence rose through the mid to late 1990s, followed by a slight decrease (APC:-0.7%, 95% CI -1.1 to -0.4) until 2006 and then remained stable with a prevalence of 43.8 patients per 10,000 population in 2010. Among >= 85 years, there was a minor decrease (APC: -0.3%, 95% CI -0.5 to -0.1) in overall prevalence after 2002 from 1481 to 1453 patients per 10,000 population in 2010. The overall prevalence of IS increased until 2000, but then remained stable followed by a slight decline. However, the prevalence of IS in the young increased through the study period. The absolute number of IS survivors has markedly increased, mainly because of demographic changes.

  • Trends in risk of recurrence after the first ischemic stroke in adults younger than 55 years of age in Sweden
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: International Journal of Stroke. - : SAGE Publications. - 1747-4930 .- 1747-4949. ; 11:1, s. 52-61
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Previous studies on stroke recurrence in younger adults often contain small sample size which makes it difficult to study trends in stroke recurrence over a long period of time. Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate temporal trends in the risk of recurrence in younger patients with a first ischemic stroke. Methods: All men and women aged 18-54 years who had survived at least 28 days after a first ischemic stroke from 1987 to 2006 were identified in the Swedish Inpatient Register. The patients were stratified into four 5-year periods according to their admission period and were followed up for a total of four years after the index event with regard to recurrent ischemic stroke. A Cox regression model was used to analyze the risk of recurrent ischemic stroke. Results: Of the 17,149 ischemic stroke patients who were identified, 2432 (14.2%) had a recurrent ischemic stroke event within four years. From the first to the last periods (1987-1991 versus 2002-2006), the four-year risk of recurrent ischemic stroke decreased by 55% (hazard ratio 0.45, 95% confidence interval 0.39-0.53) in men and 59% (hazard ratio 0.41, 95% confidence interval, 0.33-0.50) in women. The cumulative four-year risk was 11.8% (95% CI 10.55-13.25) in men and 9.8% (95% CI 8.40-11.46) in women during the last five-year period (2002-2006). Conclusions: The risk of recurrence among younger ischemic stroke patients has decreased over the past 20 years. Despite these improvements, younger patients are still at a high risk for recurrent ischemic stroke.

  • Regulation of local availability of active tissue-type plasminogen activator in vivo in man
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: J Thromb Haemost. - 1538-7933. ; 2:11, s. 1960-8
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Free, biologically active tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) is the main initiator of intravascular fibrinolysis, but little is known about the regulation of active tPA on the organ level. The aim was to investigate if the local availability of active tPA on the organ level depends on the local release rate of tPA or the arterial input of tPA and plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1). Also, we wanted to evaluate if plasma levels predict capacity for endothelial release of fibrinolytic proteins. Invasive perfused-forearm studies were performed in 96 healthy subjects. Local release rates of fibrinolytic proteins were assessed at baseline and during endothelial stimulation. Stimulation by methacholine and desmopressin induced a 6- and 12-fold increase in total tPA release rates, respectively. With increasing local release rates of tPA a gradually closer correlation emerged between the total tPA secretion and the forearm output of active tPA (from r = 0.102, ns to r = 0.85, P < 0.0001). Forearm availability of active tPA was not related to arterial input of either tPA or PAI-1. Release rates and plasma levels of tPA were not correlated. Baseline release rates of active tPA increased to noon. The major determinant for the local availability of active tPA is the capacity of the endothelium to release tPA rather than the arterial input of PAI-1 or tPA. Despite a molar excess of PAI-1, the majority of tPA released during stimulation does not undergo local inactivation. The capacity to release tPA locally cannot be predicted from its plasma concentration.

  • Expression of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 and Protease Nexin-1 in Human Astrocytes: Response to Injury-Related Factors.
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: Journal of Neuroscience Research. - 1097-4547. ; 88:11, s. 2441-2449
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Astrocytes play a diverse role in central nervous system (CNS) injury. Production of the serine protease inhibitors (serpins) plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and protease nexin-1 (PN-1) by astrocytes may counterbalance excessive serine protease activity associated with CNS pathologies such as ischemic stroke. Knowledge regarding the regulation of these genes in the brain is limited, so the objective of the present study was to characterize the effects of injury-related factors on serpin expression in human astrocytes. Native human astrocytes were exposed to hypoxia or cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1beta, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), IL-10, transforming growth factor-alpha (TGF-alpha), and TGF-beta for 0-20 hr. Serpin mRNA expression and protein secretion were determined by real-time RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. Localization of PAI-1 and PN-1 in human brain tissue was examined by immunohistochemistry. Hypoxia and all assayed cytokines induced a significant increase in PAI-1 expression, whereas prolonged treatment with IL-1beta or TNF-alpha resulted in a significant down-regulation. The most pronounced induction of both PAI-1 and PN-1 was observed following early treatment with TGF-alpha. In contrast to PAI-1, the PN-1 gene did not respond to hypoxia. Positive immunoreactivity for PAI-1 in human brain tissue was demonstrated in reactive astrocytes within gliotic areas of temporal cortex. We show here that human astrocytes express PAI-1 and PN-1 and demonstrate that this astrocytic expression is regulated in a dynamic manner by injury-related factors.

  • Changes of plasma coagulation and fibrinolysis in response to mental stress.
  • 1989
  • Ingår i: Thrombosis and haemostasis. - 0340-6245. ; 62:2, s. 767-71
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • To study the effects of standardized mental stress (arithmetic and the Stroop color word test) on plasma coagulation and fibrinolysis, blood samples were obtained before, during, and after 20 minutes of mental stress from 10 healthy, non-smoking young males aged 22 to 30 years. Reactions were compared with those observed during physical exercise and infusion of adrenaline. Both von Willebrand factor antigen and factor VIII coagulant activity increased significantly in response to mental stress (95 +/- 28 vs 123 +/- 56%; p less than 0.05 and 125 +/- 54 vs 217 +/- 170%; p less than 0.05, respectively). There was also a significant increase of factor VII coagulant activity (86 +/- 31 vs 108 +/- 51%; p less than 0.05). Furthermore, mental stress caused an activation of the fibrinolytic system with an elevation of tissue plasminogen activator activity and tissue plasminogen activator antigen (0.80 +/- 0.48 vs 1.23 +/- 0.96 IU/ml; p = 0.076 and 4.38 +/- 1.87 vs 5.78 +/- 2.58 IU/ml; p less than 0.01). Fibrinogen concentration increased during stress (1.95 +/- 0.29 vs 2.11 +/- 0.27 g/l; p less than 0.05). Similar but more pronounced responses were observed during exercise and adrenaline infusion. Parallel to the increases in coagulation and fibrinolytic factors there were significant increases in heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. It is concluded that mental stress has significant effects on plasma coagulation and fibrinolysis, and that it could thus affect important risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

  • Haematological changes during acute mental stress.
  • 1989
  • Ingår i: British journal of haematology. - 0007-1048. ; 71:1, s. 153-6
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • To study haematological effects of emotional stress, blood samples were obtained from 29 healthy, normotensive, non-smoking males aged 20-34 years before, during and after 10 min of mental arithmetic. There were significant increases in peripheral blood cell count, haemoglobin concentration, and haematocrit in response to mental stress. Parallel to these changes significant increases in heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were observed. The relative increments of leucocyte (8%) and platelet (3.5%) count were significantly higher than the increase in haemoglobin concentration (2%). There was a significant positive correlation between the blood pressure increase and the mobilization of leucocytes, whereas the increase in erythrocyte count, haemoglobin concentration, and haematocrit showed significant positive correlations with heart rate reactivity. It is concluded that mental stress causes an increase in leucocyte and platelet count that could not solely be accounted for by the concurrent haemoconcentration.

  • 'Polycythaemia of stress' in subjects with Type A and Type B behaviour patterns.
  • 1991
  • Ingår i: Journal of psychosomatic research. - 0022-3999. ; 35:1, s. 91-8
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • To determine the importance of emotional stress for relative polycythaemia, we studied 11 subjects with the Type A and 11 subjects with the Type B behaviour patterns during short-term mental stress. All subjects were healthy, normotensive non-smoking young males aged 20-34 yr. without any medication. During rest there were no significant differences in heart rate, blood pressure, or plasma catecholamines between the two groups, but the A-group had significantly higher haemoglobin concentration (147 vs 140 g/l; p less than 0.005) and haematocrit (43.8 vs 42.1%: p = 0.05) than the B-group. In the whole group, there was a positive correlation between resting diastolic blood pressure and haemoglobin concentration (r = 0.53; p less than 0.05). In response to 10 min of mental arithmetic, haematocrit, haemoglobin and erythrocyte count rose approximately 2% (p less than 0.001 throughout). The stress-induced changes were not significantly different between the A- and B-groups. It is concluded that mild relative polycythaemia could be induced by acute emotional stress. In subjects with the Type A behaviour pattern a slight haemoconcentration is present already at rest, which further increases during stress.

  • Short-term reproducibility of a mental arithmetic stress test.
  • 1991
  • Ingår i: Clinical science (London, England : 1979). - 0143-5221. ; 81:5, s. 593-601
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • 1. To evaluate the short-term reproducibility of heart rate, oscillometrically determined blood pressure, antecubital venous plasma catecholamine concentrations and subjective responses to strictly standardized mental arithmetic, we performed two identical tests 1 h apart in 14 young, healthy and normotensive male subjects (age 22-35 years). 2. Heart rate and blood pressure responses to the two stress tests were highly correlated, when expressed both as correlations between levels attained during stress (rs greater than 0.80 throughout) and as absolute reactivity measures (all rs greater than 0.75). Also, subjective stress responses were highly correlated, when considering both levels during stress and reactivity (r = 0.97 and r = 0.85, respectively). Stress levels of catecholamines were correlated, but the change scores (reactivity) were unrelated. 3. The measurement error SD for heart rate was 2.6 and 3.0 beats/min for reactivity and stress levels, respectively. The corresponding SD for blood pressure ranged between 2.7 and 4.4 mmHg. Subjective stress experience showed an SD of a similar magnitude. The responses of plasma catecholamine concentrations were subject to considerable variability. 4. It is concluded that haemodynamic and subjective stress responses and stress levels during the mental arithmetic stress test show acceptable reproducibility and high test-retest correlations. However, stress-induced changes in venous plasma catecholamine concentrations show low reproducibility.
