Am J Med Sci. Simple subjective reports about individuals’ sleep may be highly revealing indicators of endothelial function impairment and thus important indicators of cardiovascular disease risk. Impaired endothelial function, causing hypertension and thrombosis, is often seen in patients with coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, as well as in smokers. the display of certain parts of an article in other eReaders. Group differences were evaluated by Student t-tests or 1-way analysis of covariance. The endothelial cells are part of the blood-brain barri… Minoguchi K, Tazaki T, Yokoe T, Minoguchi H, Watanabe Y, Yamamoto M, Adachi M. Elevated production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha by monocytes in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. [10] These genes include critical immune mediators and proteins that facilitate cellular communication with hematopoietic immune cells. Getting up at night to use the bathroom and FMD were unrelated (multivariate p= 0.6133). These pro- and antiangiogenic signals including integrins, chemokines, angiopoietins, oxygen sensing agents, junctional molecules and endogenous inhibitors. [1], Endothelium is of mesodermal origin. This controls the passage of materials and the transit of white blood cells into and out of the bloodstream. already built in. Currently, questionnaires such as the STOP-BANG30 or the Berlin Questionnaire31 see widespread use, target sleep apnea symptoms per se, and may be more valid measures. Endothelial cells form the barrier between vessels and tissue and control the flow of substances and fluid into and out of a tissue. This difference remained significant after adjustment for risk factors (p = 0.03). Total PSQI scores were unrelated to brachial artery FMD (multivariate p= 0.1223), suggesting no relationship to endothelial function. Total PSQI score was unrelated to brachial artery FMD. Prior studies document that sleep apnea may be related to endothelial dysfunction but disagree whether subjective reports of sleep may also reflect such associations. Vascular endothelial function was examined using RH‐PAT (EndoPAT; Itamar Medical, Caesarea, Israel), as previously described (Kuvin et al., 2003). Using multivariate models comparable to those used for PSQI, higher ESS scores were associated with lower brachial artery FMD (p= 0.026) (Figure 2). The role of the endothelium as a barrier is particularly critical around the brain. The American journal of the medical sciences. Thus, a diagnosis of hypertension or diabetes was assigned on the basis of medication-use rather than by physical examination or laboratory findings. The lesions formed in the intima, and persistent inflammation lead to desquamation of endothelium, which disrupts the endothelial barrier, leading to injury and consequent dysfunction. Endothelial cells in direct contact with blood are called vascular endothelial cells whereas those in direct contact with lymph are known as lymphatic endothelial cells. The function of vascular endothelium . Wattanakit K, Boland L, Punjabi NM, Shahar E. Relation of sleep-disordered breathing to carotid plaque and intima-media thickness. [23], In 1958 Todd demonstrated that endothelium in human blood vessels have fibrinolytic activity. Weil BR, Maceneaney OJ, Stauffer BL, Desouza CA. Brachial artery FMD is known to be affected beneficially by beta-blockers, perhaps by increasing nitric oxide bioavailability26,27, although the relatively small number of number of patients using this drug class (n = 62) makes it unlikely this had a major impact on our results. Analyses were performed with SPSS (version 17.0, SPSS, Inc., Chicago, Illinois). Univariate correlations between brachial artery FMD and measured sleep parameters were performed with Pearson correlation. 11 This noninvasive technique has gained popularity as an assessment of endothelial function that can safely be applied to large and varied groups of patients that may involve repeated measurement of vascular function over time. This value maintained statistical significance after multivariate adjustment for age, gender, race, body mass index (BMI), smoking history, history of hypertension, and history of diabetes (multivariate p= 0.03) (Figure 1). [citation needed] Angiogenesis is a crucial process for development of organs in the embryo and fetus,[9] as well as repair of damaged areas. Finally, the questionnaires used here to assess for sleep apnea (PSQI, ESS) may not be best suited for this purpose. 1 The endothelium possesses a series of remarkable properties that contribute capitally to homeostasis (Figure 1, left). Height and weight were measured. The endothelium is a layer of cells that lines the blood vessels and lymph vessels of the body. Among these mediators, endothelial derived nitric oxide is essential in the maintenance of vascular homeostasis, and defects in the L-arginine: nitric oxide pathway have been … is the root of endothelial dysfunction. The endothelium is a thin membrane that lines the inside of the heart and blood vessels. The endothelium exhibits heterogeneity in the expression of a number of antithrombotic factors, which assures adequate hemostasis … Measurement of endothelial function in the systemic arteries has become established as an important method for the detection of early (pre-symptomatic) arterial abnormalities in humans. Utilization of such surrogate markers for disease is not uncommon in epidemiologic studies. [24][25], Cells that line the Inner surface of blood vessels, This article is about the lining of blood and lymphatic vessels. Endothelium is a single layer of squamous endothelial cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels. This page was last edited on 21 December 2020, at 17:57. This function determines on a moment-to-moment basis how much blood is received by the body's various tissues. Blood must be contained inside the transporting vessels, but substances need to move in and out of it in a controlled manner. Vascular endothelial growth factor provides an example of a vascular endothelial-specific growth factor. The ePub format is best viewed in the iBooks reader. Of the 7 PSQI component scores, only component 1 (sleep quality) was related to FMD and indicated that poorer subjective sleep quality was associated with lower FMD (multivariate p= 0.038). Endothelial barrier function is dynamically regulated by secondary messengers such as cAMP. In cancer therapy the development and delivery of anti-angiogenic drugs is a very promising path and restoring vascular homeostasis holds great potential for the treatment of ischemic tissue diseases [22], In April 2020, the presence of viral elements in endothelial cells of 3 patients who had died of COVID-19 was reported for the first time. As a result, study of endothelial function in clinical research has emerged as an important en… These items included self-reports of cough / snore, sleep durations, and reports of getting up at night to use the restroom – all symptoms that have been associated with sleep apnea. DEFENCE is a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint, parallel-group, comparative clinical trial. In fact, several analyses have demonstrated that such reported medication use may serve as reasonable approximations for disease prevalence28,29. Self reported snoring and daytime sleepiness in men aged 35–65 years. The ePub format uses eBook readers, which have several "ease of reading" features The endothelium is a thin layer of single flat (squamous) cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. cAMP elevation by beta-adrenergic agents stimulating G s protein–coupled receptors reduces vascular leakage. You may notice problems with Low reported sleep quality in a large population based sample10 was reported to be unrelated to altered FMD and short reported sleep durations were unrelated to levels of endothelial progenitor cells11, but other studies suggest that reported (or actigraphically assessed) short sleep durations may be associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness12,13 or coronary artery calcification14. In the body's arterioles(the small arteries that precisely regulate the flow of blood to the tissues), the endothelial layer (or endothelium) is the inner lining of cells that has several critical functions. The endothelial monolayer that lines the intima of arteries, veins, and microvessels measures up to 7000 m 2 in surface area. In a community-based population, our analysis indicates a significant association between sleepiness and snoring assessed by questionnaires and endothelial function. The PSQI is a self-administered validated 19-item scale that assesses overall sleep-quality and a wide range of sleep-related symptoms experienced during the previous 1 month16. Oxidative stress- (OS-) related endothelial damage is involved in the occurrence and progression of several disorders, such as vascular depression and dementia. Author manuscript; available in PMC 2015 Jun 1. Using the Berlin Questionnaire to identify patients at risk for the sleep apnea syndrome. Netzer NC, Stoohs RA, Netzer CM, Clark K, Strohl KP. Both blood and lymphatic capillaries are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells called a monolayer. Age, body mass index, and FMD were treated as continuous variables. The damage of vascular endothelium by overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by various risk factors (smoking, obesity, diabetes, etc.) However, lower sleep quality (PSQI component 1) was associated with lower brachial artery FMD (multivariate p = 0.038), and participants who coughed or snored during sleep also had lower brachial artery FMD (6.24±3.42%) compared to those who did not (6.92±4.30%) (p = 0.056). Endothelium of the interior surfaces of the heart chambers is called endocardium. However, the apparent interaction of reported snoring and daytime sleepiness suggests that these symptoms may have additive risk. Endothelial cells release substances that control vascular relaxation and contraction as well as enzymes that control blood clotting, immune function and platelet (a colorless substance in the blood) adhesion. VENDYS II – Introduction. Far more equivocal are associations between endothelial function and subjective reports of sleep duration or other aspects such as snoring or low sleep quality. Vascular Endothelial Function & Self-Reported Sleep, The publisher's final edited version of this article is available at, flow mediated dilation, survey-based sleep assessment, proxy sleep apnea symptoms. Endothelium-dependent brachial artery FMD was determined as previously described19,20. Lekakis JP, Protogerou A, Papamichael C, Vamvakou G, Ikonomidis I, Fici F, Mavrikakis M. Effect of nebivolol and atenolol on brachial artery flow-mediated vasodilation in patients with coronary artery disease. Methods We exposed anaesthetised rats (n=8/group) via nose cone to IQOS aerosol from single HeatSticks, mainstream smoke from single Marlboro Red cigarettes or clean air for a series of consecutive 30 s … Systematic assessment of subjective sleep quality and sleep disturbance. Multivariate linear regression models were constructed to determine relationships between sleep and vascular function parameters before and after adjustment for age, race, gender, smoking, hypertension (defined by medication use), diabetes (defined by medication use), and body mass index. The vascular endothelium regulates the flow of molecules from the blood stream to tissues, and is the prime victim of the oxidative stress playing critical role in … Stein MB, Chartier M, Walker JR. Sleep in nondepressed patients with panic disorder: I. Kehoe R, Wu SY, Leske MC, Chylack LT., Jr Comparing self-reported and physician-reported medical history. Participation in angiogenesis The formation of functional vascular networks requires coordination and signaling between different types of cells. [11] Endothelial cells encode important features of the structural cell immune response in the epigenome and can therefore respond swiftly to immunological challenges. These cells have unique functions that include fluid filtration, such as in the glomerulus of the kidney, blood vessel tone, hemostasis, neutrophil recruitment, and hormone trafficking. The mean ESS score in this population is similar to those reported in other biracial populations, such as the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study21, although the distribution (Figure 2) suggests a substantial number of individuals reporting high levels of subjective daytime sleepiness, perhaps compatible with a degree of relatively restricted within the sleep population generally22–24. Nitric oxide (NO) is a soluble gas continuously synthesized from the amino acid L-arginine in endothelial cells by the constitutive calcium-calmodulin-dependent enzyme nitric oxide synthas … The Pittsburgh sleep quality index: A new instrument for psychiatric practice and research. Difference in multivariate-adjusted FMD by report of coughing and/or snoring during sleep. Endothelial cells are involved in many aspects of vascular biology, including: vasoconstriction and vasodilation, and hence the control of blood pressure; blood clotting (thrombosis and fibrinolysis) atherosclerosis; formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) inflammation and … [16][17] This state of endothelial cells promotes accumulation of lipids and lipoproteins in the intima, leading to atherosclerosis, and the subsequent recruitment of white blood cells and platelets, as well as proliferation of smooth muscle cells, leading to the formation of a fatty streak. Stradling JR, Crosby JH, Payne CD. We investigated the relationship between self-reported sleep characteristics and brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in a community-based population. For example, although laboratory-based studies of experimental sleep deprivation may increase adhesion molecules and E-selectin8 or result in elevated blood pressures9, whether such relationships are also reflected in subjects’ verbal reports about their own short duration of sleep remain far more dubious. This was a relatively healthy population, as indicated by relative low rates of hypertension, diabetes, and tobacco use. Short sleep duration and incident coronary artery calcification. The endothelium plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance between the pro- and anticoagulation systems of the vasculature. Briefly, patients could drink only water before the examination and stopped taking drugs, and did not take a bath or exercise on the morning of the test. While restoration of microcapillaries is critical to avoid mortality, therapeutic targeting of this process requires a greater understanding of endothelial repair mechanisms. Muskaan Behl, MD, Donald Bliwise, PhD, [...], and Arshed Quyyumi, MD. Knutson KL, Rathouz PJ, Yan LL, Liu K, Lauderdale DS. It includes all blood-and-lymph carrying vessels, including the chambers of the … Johns MW. Excessive or prolonged increases in permeability of the endothelium, as in cases of chronic inflammation, may lead to tissue swelling (edema). In 684 subjects (32% male) between 37 and 60 years enrolled in the Emory-Georgia Tech Predictive Health Institute study, we measured reported sleep characteristics using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) along with cardiovascular risk factors. [9] Angiopoietin-2 works with VEGF to facilitate cell proliferation and migration of endothelial cells. Using a “gold standard” assessment of endothelial function in a relatively large, community-based population with a relatively low risk factor burden, we demonstrated an association between brachial artery FMD and selected aspects of reported sleep, including subjective quality, coughing/snoring during sleep, and daytime sleepiness even after adjustment for common CVD risk factors. Vasu TS, Doghramji K, Cavallazzi R, Grewal R, Hirani A, Leiby B, Markov D, Reiter D, Kraft WK, Witkowski T. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome and postoperative complications: clinical use of the STOP-BANG questionnaire. This process contributes to release large amounts of IL 6, IL-1B and TNF alpha by vascular endothelial cells, thus the expression of vascular adhesion molecules. One of the main mechanisms of endothelial dysfunction is the diminishing of nitric oxide, often due to high levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine, which interfere with the normal L-arginine-stimulated nitric oxide synthesis and so leads to hypertension. Endothelial dysfunction has also been shown to be predictive of future adverse cardiovascular events, and is also present in inflammatory disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. An alternative approach involves vascular ultrasound to examine endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilation of the conduit brachial artery. Generating an ePub file may take a long time, please be patient. Stability of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Epworth Sleepiness Questionnaires over 1 year in early middle-aged adults: The CARDIA Study. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Perceived insufficient rest or sleep--four states, 2006. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Effect of short sleep duration on daily activities--United States, 2005–2008. This endothelial-dependent vascular biology is critical, not only in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis, but also in the transition from a stable to an unstable disease state with attendant risks (Figure 5). Publisher's Disclaimer: This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication. Lower brachial artery FMD values were correlated with higher ESS scores (p = 0.0275), even after adjustment for risk factors (p = 0.03). Smoking, gender, and medication use (anti-hypertensive drugs, glucose lowering agents) were categorical variables. Lavie L, Kraiczi H, Hefetz A, Ghandour H, Perelman A, Hedner J, Lavie P. Plasma vascular endothelial growth factor in sleep apnea syndrome: effects of nasal continuous positive air pressure treatment. Epidemiologic studies examining sleep-related cardiovascular risk factors may well consider viewing these symptoms in tandem. Even in the absence of measured sleep apnea, specific subjective sleep-related symptoms may be important independent correlates of endothelial dysfunction as measured by brachial artery FMD. Medication use served as a proxy for health conditions. Study variables are described as the mean ± SD (unless otherwise specified) for continuous variables or as counts or proportions for categorical variables. [citation needed], Endothelial dysfunction is a result of changes in endothelial function. Acute and chronic angiotensin-1 receptor antagonism reverses endothelial dysfunction in atherosclerosis. Our study has other weaknesses as well. Hao Chang, Mi Hu, He Zhang, Ke-feng Ren *, Bo-chao Li, Huan Li, Li-mei Wang, Wen-xi Lei, and ; Jian Ji * The contribution to host immunity by non-hematopoietic cells, such as endothelium, is called “structural immunity”. History of diabetes and hypertension were defined with the use of anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive medications respectively. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Perceived insufficient rest or sleep among adults - United States, 2008. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Endothelial dysfunction, or the loss of proper endothelial function, is a hallmark for vascular diseases, and is often regarded as a key early event in the development of atherosclerosis. Endothelial function in obstructive sleep apnea and response to treatment. Current evidence suggests that endothelial function is an integrative marker of the net effects of damage from traditional and emerging risk factors on the arterial wall and its intrinsic capacity for repair. [1] The endothelium forms an interface between circulating blood or lymph in the lumen and the rest of the vessel wall. In straight sections of a blood vessel, vascular endothelial cells typically align and elongate in the direction of fluid flow. Furthermore, cAMP-elevating agonists (phosphodiesterase inhibitors and adenylate cyclase activators) decrease basal permeability and reverse vascular leakage induced by inflammatory … The association observed between brachial artery FMD and coughing/snoring was of small magnitude (d = .20), although this effect was at least comparable to, if not larger, than the effect size noted (r2 = .012) in a study relating brachial artery FMD to polysomnographically assessed AHI6. FMD and endothelium-independent vasodilation were expressed as the percentage increase in diameter from baseline. Vascular endothelial cadherin (VE cadherin) Cadherins are transmembrane proteins which form homophilic interactions in a calcium dependent fash- ion. Skewed variables were log transformed and tested again for normality before any parametric analysis. The ESS measures daytime sleepiness. Dr. Images were digitized online, and arterial diameters were measured with customized software (Medical Imaging Applications, Inc) by individuals blinded to the clinical status and laboratory status of the subjects. They provide weak adhesive cell-cell forces, further stabilized by the catenins, which are intracellu- larproteinslinkingthecadherincellsurfacemoleculeto the actin cytoskeleton. Lusardi P, Zoppi A, Preti P, Pesce RM, Piazza E, Fogari R. Effects of insufficient sleep on blood pressure in hypertensive subjects: A 24-h study. Altered barrier function is also implicated in cancer extravasation.[6]. [20] The signalling protein ERK5 is essential for maintaining normal endothelial cell function. Participants enrolled in the study completed two questionnaires collecting data related to their sleep: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). The vascular endothelium provides the crucial interface between the blood compartment and tissues. Rob explains vascular reactivity and endothelial function measurement as a tool for early detection and prediction of cardiovascular events. FMD: Flow mediated dilation (%). This dapagliflozin effectiveness on vascular endothelial function and glycemic control (DEFENCE) study was designed to determine the effects of dapagliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, on endothelial function in patients with early-stage T2DM. Endothelial cell (EC) dysfunctions, including turnover enrichment, gap junction disruption, inflammation, and oxidation, play vital roles in the initiation of vascular disorders and atherosclerosis. As a service to our customers we are providing this early version of the manuscript. endothelial cells are freed to migrate from the existing blood vessels and begin to proliferate to form extensions towards the source of the angiogenic stimulus. Additionally, subjects who reported coughing or snoring at least once a week had lower FMD values (6.2±3.4) when compared to those individuals who reported no such symptoms over the last month (6.9±4.3) (univariate p= 0.056) (effect size d = .20). An impaired function can lead to serious health issues throughout the body. Improved Endothelial Function of Endothelial Cell Monolayer on the Soft Polyelectrolyte Multilayer Film with Matrix-Bound Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor. The assessment of endothelial function in this study was done via FMD. After a 15-minute period to re-establish baseline conditions, endothelium-independent dilation of the brachial artery was assessed from images obtained before and 3 to 5 minutes after administration of 0.4 mg of sublingual nitroglycerin. Abnormal endothelial function has been associated with sleep apnea using biochemical markers such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)1, declines in nitric oxide bioavailability2, monocyte activation3, and with radiologic or dynamic vascular measures such as coronary artery calcification4, carotid intima-media thickness5, and flow mediated vasodiliation6. Statistical significance was based on 2-tailed tests, and p-values ≤0.05 were considered significant. Prasad A, Tupas-Habib T, Schenke WH, Mincemoyer R, Panza JA, Waclawin MA, Ellahham S, Quyyumi AA. Paganini-Hill A, Ross RK. Nieto FJ, Herrington DM, Redline S, Benjamin EJ, Robbins JA. We are experimenting with display styles that make it easier to read articles in PMC. [15] Additionally, transcription factors, which are substances which act to increase the production of proteins within cells, become activated; specifically AP-1 and NF-κB, leading to increased expression of cytokines such as IL-1, TNFα and IFNγ, which promotes inflammation. [21] A further consequence of damage to the endothelium is the release of pathological quantities of von Willebrand factor, which promote platelet aggregation and adhesion to the subendothelium, and thus the formation of potentially fatal thrombi. Endothelium function. Angiogenesis is regulated by signals that promote and decrease the process. Habitual short sleep duration and circulating endothelial progenitor cells. [12], Endothelial dysfunction, or the loss of proper endothelial function, is a hallmark for vascular diseases, and is often regarded as a key early event in the development of atherosclerosis. The study was approved by the Emory University and Georgia Tech University Institutional Review Committees. vascular endothelial function with aging, including regular aerobic exercise, dietary factors (e.g. activated endothelial cells release proteases leading to the degradation of the basement membrane. Multivariate analysis of covariance was used to adjust for various cardiovascular risk factors including age, race, gender, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and body mass index. We utilized total PSQI scores, the 7 component scores, and selected item analysis of specific sleep disturbance complaints as done previously17.
