Abstract

Aims: Coronary artery disease (CAD) can be classified as an inflammatory disease, which affected by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Elevated levels of many inflammatory molecules were found in the serum of patients with CAD. STAT3 molecule as a transcription factor plays an important role in the cytokines expression. Here, we examined the expression levels of STAT3 and its important regulatory genes lnc-DC and SOCS1, in patients with CAD and T2DM. Methods: Blood samples were obtained from 37 CAD + and 36 CAD- patients. These patients were enrolled in this study based on angiography findings and categorized based on T2DM status. The expression levels of STAT3, lnc-DC and SOCS1 genes were examined with Real time PCR method. Results: A significant increase was observed in expression of STAT3 and lnc-DC genes but not SOCS1 in CAD + versus CAD- patients. These results replicated partially in some groups categorized based on T2DM and CAD status. However, severity of CAD had no effect on expressions of these genes. Moreover, we found some significant correlations between expressions of lnc-DC with SOCS1 and STAT3, which confirmed by in silico analysis. Conclusion: Our results shed further light to the inflammatory aspects of CAD and T2DM with emphasis to JAK/STAT pathway and the regulatory role of long non-coding RNAs in the physiopathology of these diseases. © 2017
