Serum concentrations of fibroblast growth factor 2 are increased in HIV type 1-infected patients and inversely related to survival probability.

Abstract:

:HIV-1-infected patients develop a generalized vasculopathy that is clinically most evident as Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), a multifocally appearing endothelial cell-derived tumor. Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) is a potent autocrine and paracrine mitogen of endothelial cells and has been implicated in the cell proliferation and angiogenesis observed in KS. Here we determined by ELISA the FGF-2 serum concentrations in different clinical groups of HIV-1-infected patients. AIDS-KS patients (n = 53) and HIV-1-infected patients without KS (n = 39) revealed significantly increased FGF-2 serum concentrations (median, 4.5 and 4.6 pg/ml, respectively), as compared with the healthy control group (n = 22; median, 2.2 pg/ml; p < 0.01). FGF-2 concentrations were highest in untreated HIV-1-infected patients (median, 8.6 pg/ml) and were significantly decreased in patients undergoing antiretroviral therapy (AZT-median, 4.5 pg/ml; HAART-median, 2.5 pg/ml; p < 0.01). In addition, FGF-2 serum concentrations above 5.2 pg/ml were associated with a statistically significant higher risk of death in HIV-1-infected patients. Multivariate analysis showed that this effect is independent of CD4 levels, localization of KS (cutaneous or visceral), AIDS-defining opportunistic diseases, and therapy. Circulating FGF-2 may contribute to AIDS-associated vasculopathy and may be a sensitive and easily accessible surrogate marker to determine the survival time of HIV-1-infected patients and the efficacy of antiretroviral therapy.
