A proinflammatory role of HDACs
has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis as an
emerging novel epigenetic diagnostic biomarker. However, its association
with the clinical and cardiovascular function in coronary artery
disease is largely unknown. The study aimed to profile the gene
expression of HDAC1–11
in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and to evaluate their
influence on hematological, biochemical, and two-dimensional
echocardiographic indices in CAD. The HDAC gene expression profiles were assessed in 62 angioproven CAD patients and compared with 62 healthy controls. Among the HDACs, upregulated HDACs 1,2, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11 were upregulated, and HDAC3 was downregulated, which was significantly (p
≤ 0.05) linked with the hematological (basophils, lymphocytes,
monocytes, and neutrophils), biochemical (LDL, HDL, and TGL), and
echocardiographic parameters (cardiac function: biplane LVEF, GLS, MV
E/A, IVRT, and PV S/D) in CAD. Furthermore, our constructed diagnostic
model with the crucial HDACs establishes the most crucial HDACs
in the classification of CAD from control with an excellent accuracy of
88.6%. Conclusively, our study has provided a novel perspective on the HDAC gene expression underlying cardiac function that is useful in developing molecular methods for CAD diagnosis.
