Reduced blood EPAC1 protein levels as a marker of severe coronary artery disease: the role of hypoxic foam cell-transformed smooth muscle cells

These findings suggest that circulating EPAC1 protein levels lower than 9.16 ng/mL are predictive of severe CAD in humans. Hypoxic foam-SMCs, characteristic of advanced atherosclerotic lesions, exhibit diminished production of EPAC1, potentially contributing to the decreased circulating EPAC1 levels in patients with severe CAD.

Abstract

These findings suggest that circulating EPAC1 protein levels lower than 9.16 ng/mL are predictive of severe CAD in humans. Hypoxic foam-SMCs, characteristic of advanced atherosclerotic lesions, exhibit diminished production of EPAC1, potentially contributing to the decreased circulating EPAC1 levels in patients with severe CAD.
