AIM:To explore the role and mechanism of calcium-sensing receptor(CaSR)in regulating macro-phage polarization in hypertensive rats.METHODS:Male spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR)and Wistar-Kyoto(WKY)rats were categorized into WKY group,SHR group,SHR+R568(CaSR agonist)group,and SHR+NPS2143(CaSR inhibitor)group.The thoracic aorta was isolated,and the expression of CaSR and macrophage polarization markers in the aorta was observed through immunofluorescence staining.The primary peritoneal macrophages of SHR and WKY rats were aseptically extracted following anesthesia.After intervention with R568 and NPS2143,the expression levels of M1 and M2 markers of peritoneal macrophages were observed by Western blot and immunofluorescence staining.The levels of interleukin(IL)-1β and IL-10 were measured by ELISA.The concentration of Ca2+in peritoneal macrophages was mea-sured by immunofluorescence.Western blot was employed to identify the expression of CaSR and nucleotide-binding oligo-merization domain-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasome components.Following anesthesia,vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs)were isolated from SHR using an adherent method.Subsequently,a co-culture system was estab-lished with macrophage supernatant.The optimal action time for this co-culture system was determined through CCK-8 as-say.RESULTS:Compared with SHR group,activation of CaSR resulted in a significant decrease in the protein expres-sion of M1 polarization markers(P<0.05)and a concomitant increase in the protein expression of M2 polarization markers in the aorta(P<0.05).Compared with SHR group,administration of R568 led to a significant decrease in the protein ex-pression of M1 polarization markers(P<0.05)and a concomitant increase in the protein expression of M2 polarization markers(P<0.05)in peritoneal macrophages.Additionally,there was a notable reduction in the protein levels of NLRP3 inflammasome components(P<0.05).Furthermore,the fluorescence intensity of intracellular Ca2+was significantly en-hanced following R568 treatment(P<0.05).After administration of MCC950,an NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor,the re-sults were consistent with those observed following R568 treatment,demonstrating statistical significance(P<0.05).This effect was reversed by the combined intervention of U73122,a phospholipase C(PLC)inhibitor(P<0.05).Compared with the control(0 h),the 24-h peritoneal macrophage supernatant exhibited the strongest capacity to enhance the viabili-ty of VSMCs after 24 h of culture(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:In hypertensive rats,the CaSR inhibits NLRP3 inflamma-some activation via the PLC-Ca2+signaling pathway,thereby mediating an increase in macrophage polarization towards the M2 phenotype and a decrease towards the M1 phenotype.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of clopidogrel metabolism-related gene variability in Kawasaki disease (KD) children with coronary artery lesions (CAL) across different age groups and the impact of genetic variability on the efficacy of clopidogrel antiplatelet therapy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. Clinical data were collected from 46 KD children with CAL who were hospitalized in the Cardiovascular Center of Children′s Hospital of Fudan University between January 2021 and August 2022 and were treated with clopidogrel, including gender, age, body mass index, course of KD, CAL severity grade, and baseline platelet count. According to their age, the children were divided into ≥2-year-old group and <2-year-old group. Their platelet responsiveness was assessed by adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet inhibition rate (ADPi) calculated via thromboelastography, and children were categorized into high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HTPR) and normal on-treatment platelet reactivity (NTPR) groups. Genotypes of CYP2C19, PON1 and ABCB1 were detected. The t test, one-way analysis of variance and Chi-square test were used for intergroup comparison. Results:Among the 46 KD children with CAL, 34 were male and 12 were female; 37 were ≥2-year-old and 9 were <2-year-old; 25 cases were in the HTPR group and 21 cases were in the NTPR group, with 19 HTPR and 18 NTPR in the ≥2-year-old group, and 6 HTPR and 3 NTPR in the <2-year-old group. Genetic analysis showed that 92 alleles among the 46 children, with frequencies of CYP2C19*1, CYP2C19*2, CYP2C19*3, CYP2C19*17, PON1 192Q, PON1 192R, ABCB1 3435C, ABCB1 3435T at 59% (54/92), 32% (29/92), 9% (8/92), 1% (1/92), 36% (36/92), 64% (59/92), 63% (58/92) and 37% (34/92), respectively. Analysis of the impact of genotype on ADPi revealed that in children aged ≥2 years, those with CYP2C19*1/*3 genotype had significantly lower ADPi than those with CYP2C19*1/*1 genotype ((34±15)% vs. (61±29)%, t=2.18, P=0.036). There were also no significant difference in ADPi among children with PON1 192Q homozygous, PON1 192R heterozygote and PON1 192R homozygous genotypes ((40±22)% vs. (52±33)% vs. (65±27)%, F=2.17, P=0.130), or among those with ABCB1 3435C homozygous, ABCB1 3435T heterozygote and ABCB1 3435T homozygous genotypes ((55±34)% vs. (60±27)% vs. (49±24)%, F=0.33, P=0.719). In <2-year-old group, there were no significant differences in ADPi across CYP2C19*1/*1, CYP2C19*1/*2 and CYP2C19*2*2 genotypes ((40±20)% vs. (53±37)% vs. (34±16)%, F=0.37, P>0.05). There were no significant differences in ADPi across CYP2C19*1/*1 and CYP2C19*1/*3 genotypes ((44±27)% vs. (42±20)%, t=0.08, P>0.05). There were no significant differences in ADPi across PON1 192Q homozygous, PON1 192R heterozygote and PON1 192R homozygous genotypes (45% vs. (55±27)% vs. (24±5)%, F=1.83, P>0.05). There were no significant differences in ADPi across ABCB1 3435C homozygous, ABCB1 3435T heterozygote and ABCB1 3435T homozygous genotypes ((36±16)% vs. (50±35)% vs. 45%, F=0.29, P>0.05). The risk analysis of HTPR in different genotypes revealed that in children aged ≥2 years, carrying at least 1 or 2 loss-of-function alleles of CYP2C19 was a risk factor for HTPR ( OR=4.69, 10.00, 95% CI 1.11-19.83, 0.84-119.32, P=0.033, 0.046, respectively), and PON1 192R homozygosity and carrying at least one PON1 192R allele were protective factors against HTPR ( OR=0.08, 0.13, 95% CI 0.01-0.86, 0.01-1.19, P=0.019, 0.043, respectively). Conclusion:KD children aged ≥2 years carrying CYP2C19 loss-of-function alleles and PON1 192Q are more likely to develop HTPR.

Objective To explore the impact of temperature and environmental factors on the risk of deaths from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) in Wuhan during the course of high temperature. Methods The daily CVD death data and meteorological and atmospheric pollutant concentration data during the high temperature process in Wuhan from 2014 to 2019 were collected. The generalized additive models (GAM) were used to obtain the characteristics of meteorological factors, atmospheric pollutant concentrations, high impact factors and thresholds affecting the relative risk of CVD death. Results The analysis results showed that: (1) When the maximum temperature reached 36.7°C and the lowest temperature reached 25.3°C, the relative risk of CVD death increased significantly; (2) The risk of CVD death during the first high temperature process was the largest, and the average CVD excess mortality rate during the first high temperature process from 2014 to 2019 reached 21.7%; and (3) The average temperature, maximum temperature and PM₁₀ during the course of high temperature were important environmental factors that increased the risk of CVD deaths, and the relative risks were 1.14 (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.11-1.17), 1.11 (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.08-1.15, and 1.06 (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 1.02-1.09), respectively. Conclusion Temperature and PM₁₀ are important environmental factors that increase the risk of death from CVD during the high temperature process in Wuhan from 2014 to 2019, with the first annual high temperature process having the greatest impact on the risk of CVD death.
