This study demonstrated that OPN may serve as a potential biomarker for maladaptive right ventricular remodeling, while Gal-3 did not differentiate between adaptive and maladaptive RV remodeling. Additionally, OPN and Gal-3 levels were not correlated with parameters of left ventricular remodeling.
Aim: This study assessed the utility of osteopontin (OPN) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) as biomarkers of maladaptive right ventricular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension (PH). Materials & methods: We examined plasma levels of OPN and Gal-3 in patients with PH (n = 62), dilated cardiomyopathy (n = 34), left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH; n = 47), and controls without right ventricle (RV) or LV abnormalities (n = 38). Results: OPN and Gal-3 levels were higher in PH, dilated cardiomyopathy and LVH than in the controls. OPN concentrations in PH patients with maladaptive RV were significantly higher than in those with adaptive RV. Gal-3 did not differentiate between adaptive and maladaptive RV remodeling in PH. OPN and Gal-3 levels did not correlate with parameters of LV remodeling. Conclusion: OPN is a potential biomarker of RV maladaptation.
