ABSTRACT
Background@#and Purpose We aimed to determine the relationships of 33 biomarkers of inflammation, oxidation, and adipokines with the risk of progression of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). @*Methods@#Fifty-two of 409 patients who participated in the TOSS-2 (Trial of Cilostazol in Symptomatic Intracranial Stenosis-2) showed progression of symptomatic ICAS in magnetic resonance angiography at 7 months after an index stroke. We randomly selected 20 patients with progression as well as 40 age- and sex-matched control patients. We serially collected blood samples at baseline, 1 month, and 7 months after an index stroke. Multiplex analysis of biomarkers was then performed. @*Results@#Demographic features and risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and smoking history were comparable between the two groups. Univariate analyses revealed that the levels of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-AA [median (interquartile range)=1.64 (0.76–4.57) vs. 0.77 (0.51–1.71) ng/mL], PDGF-AB/BB [10.31 (2.60–25.90) vs. 2.35 (0.74–6.70) ng/mL], and myeloperoxidase [10.5 (7.5–22.3) vs. 7.8 (5.5–12.2) ng/mL] at 7 months were higher in the progression group. In the multivariate analysis using logistic regression, the PDGF AB/BB level at 7 months was independently associated with the progression of ICAS (p=0.02). @*Conclusions@#The PDGF-AB/BB level is associated with the progression of ICAS, and so may play a significant role in the progression of human ICAS.
