LID - 10.3390/biomedicines11112911 [doi] LID - 2911 AB - The aim was to investigate the association of monocyte heterogeneity and presence of circulating endothelial cells with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We recruited 62 patients with CAD, including 22 patients with DM2. The severity of atherosclerosis was evaluated using Gensini Score. Numbers of classical (CD14++CD16-), intermediate (CD14++CD16+), and non-classical (CD14+CD16++) monocyte subsets; circulating endothelial progenitor cells; and the presence of circulating endothelial cells were evaluated. Counts and frequencies of intermediate monocytes, but not glycaemia parameters, were associated with the severity of atherosclerosis in diabetic CAD patients (r(s) = 0.689; p = 0.001 and r(s) = 0.632; p = 0.002, respectively). Frequency of Tie2+ cells was lower in classical than in non-classical monocytes in CAD patients (p = 0.007), while in patients with association of CAD and T2DM, differences between Tie2+ monocytes subsets disappeared (p = 0.080). Circulating endothelial cells were determined in 100% of CAD+T2DM patients, and counts of CD14++CD16+ monocytes and concentration of TGF-beta predicted the presence of circulating endothelial cells (sensitivity 92.3%; specificity 90.9%; AUC = 0.930). Thus, intermediate monocytes represent one of the key determinants of the appearance of circulating endothelial cells in all the patients with CAD, but are associated with the severity of atherosclerosis only in patients with association of CAD and T2DM.
