Prolonged Cardiopulmonary Bypass Time-Induced Endothelial Dysfunction via Glypican-1 Shedding, Inflammation, and Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: A prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time of over 180 min is linked to poorer outcomes and higher mortality in cardiac surgery. This study examines how glypican-1 shedding, matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9), and the pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1β may contribute to endothelial dysfunction in patients undergoing on-pump surgery with an extended CPB. METHODS: = 28). The preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative plasma levels of glypican-1, MMP9, and IL-1β were measured. RESULTS: Before surgery, the plasma levels of glypican-1, MMP9, and IL-1β were comparable between the normal CPB and the prolonged CPB groups. However, after the end of the CPB, all three markers showed significant elevation in the prolonged CPB group compared to the normal CPB group. Significant correlations were observed between the intraoperative and postoperative levels of MMP9, IL-1β, and glypican-1. A strong positive correlation was also observed between the intraoperative and postoperative levels of glypican-1 and the duration of the CPB. CONCLUSIONS: A prolonged CPB triggers a systemic inflammatory response and activates MMP9, leading to glypican-1 shedding and endothelial dysfunction.
