Little is known about the soluble inflamJarmatory profiles involved in large artery atherosclerosis. We investigated the correlation between aortic calcification in the abdominal aorta and cytokine levels in a cohort of peripheral artery disease patients. Aortic calcification index was measured from computed tomography exams and circulating cytokine levels were analyzed from blood serum samples of 156 consecutive patients prior to invasive treatment of peripheral artery disease. The study included 156 patients (mean age 70.7\u2009years, 64 (41.0%) women). The mean ankle\u2010brachial index (ABI) was 0.64 and the mean aortic calcification index (ACI) was 52.3. ACI was associated with cytokines cutaneous T\u2010cell\u2010attracting chemokine CTACK (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> 23.08, SE 5.22, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) and monokine induced by gamma\u2010interferon MIG (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> 9.40, SE 2.82, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> 0.001) in univariate linear regression. After adjustment with cardiovascular risk factors, CTACK and MIG were independently associated with ACI, <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> 17.9 (SE 5.22, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) for CTACK and <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic> 6.80 (SE 3.33, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> 0.043) for MIG. CTACK was significantly higher in the patients representing the highest ACI tertile (highest vs. middle, 7.53 vs. 7.34 Tukeys HSD <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2010value 0.023 and highest vs. lowest tertile 7.53 vs. 7.29, Tukeys HSD <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2010value 0.002). MIG was significantly higher in the highest tertile versus lowest (7.65 vs. 7.30, Tukeys HSD <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2010value 0.027). Cytokines CTACK and MIG are associated with higher ACI, suggesting that CTACK and MIG reflect atherosclerotic disease burden of the aorta. This might further suggest the possible association with other cardiovascular morbidities.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/cts.70036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,30]],"date-time":"2024-09-30T07:44:51Z","timestamp":1727682291000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Association
