ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the protective effect Shengmai Zhenwu decoction on patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) based levels soluble interleukin 1 receptor-like (ST2).MethodsWe included a total 80 outpatients and inpatients CHF who were undergoing treatment at Shanghai Municipal Hospital Traditional Chinese Medicine between March 2020 2022. We randomly divided th...

Background Heart failure (HF) in infants and children with congenital heart disease (CHD) is a crucial complication with different outcomes. Many biomarkers are used as prognostic indicators. Soluble ST2 (sST2) is one of these markers studied in adults with HF. We aimed to study the prognostic value of sST2 in CHD children with HF. Materials and Methods In current case-control study, thirty-six...

IL-33 is a novel member of the IL-1 family and ligand for the IL-1 receptor-related protein, ST2. Recent evidence suggests that the IL-33/ST2 axis plays a critical role in several autoimmune and inflammatory disorders; however, its role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not been clearly defined. We characterized IL-33 and ST2 expression and modulation after conventional anti-TNF therapy i...

BACKGROUND Echocardiographic evaluation of left ventricular (LV) structural and functional alterations in hypertension has some limitations, potentially overcome by using biomarkers. ST2, a prognostic biomarker for heart failure and myocardial infarction patients, was less studied in hypertension. AIM To analyze the relationship between serum ST2 levels and diastolic dysfunction (DD) in hyper...

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the vasculature commonly leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. We show that IL-33, which is a novel IL-1-like cytokine that signals via ST2, can reduce atherosclerosis development in ApoE(-/-) mice on a high-fat diet. IL-33 and ST2 are present in the normal and atherosclerotic vasculature of mice and humans. Although control PBS-treate...

The proteins soluble ST2 (sST2) and galectin-3 are currently gaining mounting interest as candidate biomarkers in cardiac disease. Both, sST2 and galectin-3 have been included in the 2013 ACCF/AHA guideline for additive risk stratification of patients with acute and chronic heart failure. The aim of this review is to provide information on analytical considerations of measuring circulating sST2...
