Abstract
Proteomic profiling may provide insights into new biomarkers and pathways in coronary heart disease (CHD). We profiled ∼1,300 proteins in 1,967 Black individuals in the Jackson Heart Study and found Secreted and Transmembrane Protein 1 (SECTM1), a monocyte chemoattractant, to be our top novel finding associated with incident CHD. We validated our findings in the Cardiovascular Health Study. The top variant (rs116473040) associated with SECTM1 was associated with circulating monocyte percentage of white blood cells in a genomic database. In vivo studies demonstrated that recombinant SECTM1a increased the proportion of proatherogenic Ly6Chi monocytes, suggesting a pathway by which SECTM1 may contribute to CHD.
期刊介绍:
JACC: Basic to Translational Science is an open access journal that is part of the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It focuses on advancing the field of Translational Cardiovascular Medicine and aims to accelerate the translation of new scientific discoveries into therapies that improve outcomes for patients with or at risk for Cardiovascular Disease. The journal covers thematic areas such as pre-clinical research, clinical trials, personalized medicine, novel drugs, devices, and biologics, proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics, as well as early phase clinical trial methodology.
