The serum soluble ASGR1 concentration is elevated in patients with coronary artery disease and is associated with inflammatory markers

Abstract Background and aims Current research has suggested that asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) is involved in cholesterol metabolism and is also related to systemic inflammation. This study aimed to assess the correlation between the serum soluble ASGR1 (sASGR1) concentration and inflammator...

description Abstract Background and aims Current research has suggested that asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1) is involved in cholesterol metabolism and is also related to systemic inflammation. This study aimed to assess the correlation between the serum soluble ASGR1 (sASGR1) concentration and inflammatory marker levels. Moreover, the second objective of the study was to assess the association between sASGR1 levels and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods The study subjects included 160 patients who underwent coronary angiography. Ninety patients were diagnosed with CAD, while seventy age- and sex-matched non-CAD patients served as controls. We measured the serum sASGR1 levels using an ELISA kit after collecting clinical baseline characteristics. Results Patients with CAD had higher serum sASGR1 levels than non-CAD patients did (P < 0.0001). sASGR1 was independently correlated with the risk of CAD after adjusting for confounding variables (OR = 1.522, P = 0.012). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that sASGR1 had a larger area under the curve (AUC) than did the conventional biomarkers apolipoprotein B (APO-B) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). In addition, multivariate linear regression models revealed that sASGR1 is independently and positively correlated with high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) (β = 0.86, P < 0.001) and WBC (β = 0.13, P = 0.004) counts even after adjusting for lipid parameters. According to our subgroup analysis, this relationship existed only for CAD patients. Conclusion Our research demonstrated the link between CAD and sASGR1 levels, suggesting that sASGR1 may be an independent risk factor for CAD. In addition, this study provides a reference for revealing the potential role of sASGR1 in the inflammation of atherosclerosis.
