PTP1B Implication in the Vascular Dysfunction Associated With Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Sleep Apnea
Atherosclerosis
Inflammation
Registration Number
NCT04235023
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Angers
Brief Summary

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is associated with increased vascular dysfunction and atherosclerosis. Especially, it has been shown that OSA associated intermittent hypoxia represents a pro inflammatory stimulus resulting in macrophage polarization.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a negative regulator of insulin signaling pathways involved in atherosclerosis. It has been shown that myeloid PTP1B deficiency protects against atherosclerosis.

As hypoxia has also been shown to increase PTP1B expression and activity, this study will evaluate the myeloid PTP1B expression and activity in patients with OSA as compared to controls and will investigate myeloid PTP1B involvement in the vascular pro inflammatory precess described in OSA.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
myeloid PTP1B expressionbaseline

Peripheral blood will be collected from OSA and non OSA patients. Macrophage will be isolated by specific centrifugation. PTP1B expression will be assessed by Western Blot.

myeloid PTP1B activitybaseline

Peripheral blood will be collected from OSA and non OSA patients. Macrophage will be isolated by specific centrifugation. PTP1B activity will be assessed by specific colorimetric assay.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
in vitro PTP1B implication on macrophage inflammatory responsebaseline

Macrophage isolated from patients will be stimulated by pro inflammatory agents (IL6, TNF alpha) in the presence and absence of PTP1B inhibitor (MSI-1436). The inflammatory response will be assessed by measuring inflammatory cytokines in the supernatant by ELISA.

PTP1B exosomal expression.baseline

Peripheral blood will be collected from OSA and non OSA patients. Exosomes will be isolated by consecutive centrifugations. PTP1B expression will be assessed by Western Blot.
