    Abstract: Background: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a unique cerebrovascular occlusive disease of unknown etiology. Ring finger protein 213 (RNF213) was identified as a susceptibility gene for MMD in East Asian. However, the pathogenesis of MMD is still unclear. Methods: We prospectively analyzed clinical data for 139 patients with MMD (108 definite MMD, 31 probable MMD) and 61 patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stroke (ICAS), and 68 healthy subjects. We compared the genetic (RNF213 variant) and protein biomarkers for caveolae (caveolin-1), angiogenesis (vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] and receptor [VEGFR2] , and antagonizing cytokine [endostatin]) and endothelial dysfunction (asymmetric dimethylarginine [ADMA] , nitric oxide and its metabolites [nitrite and nitrate]), between patients with MMD and ICAS. We then performed the path analysis to evaluate whether a certain protein biomarker mediates the association the genetic and MMD. Results: Caveolin-1 level was decreased in patients with MMD and this level was markedly decreased in RNF213 variant carriers. Circulating factor such as VEGF and receptor were not different among the groups. Markers for endothelial dysfunction were significantly higher in patients with ICAS, but normal in MMD. The path analysis showed that the presence of the RNF213 variant was associated with caveolin-1 level that led to MMD. The level of combined marker of MMD (caveolin-1) and ICAS (ADMA, marker for endothelial dysfunction) predicted MMD with a good sensitivity and specificity. Conclusions: Our results indicate that MMD is primarily caveolae disorder, dysregulation of endothelial vesicular trafficking and signal transduction, but not related to endothelial dysfunction or dysregulation of circulating cytokines.

    Abstract: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a unique cerebrovascular occlusive disease characterized by progressive stenosis and negative remodeling of the distal internal carotid artery (ICA). We hypothesized that cav-1 (caveolin-1)—a protein that controls the regulation of endothelial vesicular trafficking and signal transduction—is associated with negative remodeling in MMD. Methods— We prospectively recruited 77 consecutive patients with MMD diagnosed via conventional angiography. Seventeen patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stroke and no RNF213 mutation served as controls. The outer distal ICA diameters were examined using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging. We evaluated whether the degree of negative remodeling in the patients with MMD was associated with RNF213 polymorphism, cav-1 levels, or various clinical and vascular risk factors. We also investigated whether the derived factor was associated with negative remodeling at the cellular level using the tube formation and apoptosis assays. Results— The serum cav-1 level was lower in the patients with MMD than in the controls (0.47±0.29 versus 0.86±0.68 ng/mL; P =0.034). The mean ICA diameter was 2.48±0.98 mm for the 126 affected distal ICAs in patients with MMD and 3.84±0.42 mm for the asymptomatic ICAs in the controls ( P 〈 0.001). After adjusting for confounders, cav-1 levels (coefficient, 1.018; P 〈 0.001) were independently associated with the distal ICA diameter in patients with MMD. In vitro analysis showed that cav-1 downregulation suppressed angiogenesis in the endothelial cells and induced apoptosis in the smooth muscle cells. Conclusions— Our findings suggest that cav-1 may play a major role in negative arterial remodeling in MMD.

    Abstract: Background and purpose: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a unique cerebrovascular occlusive disease that is characterized by progressive stenosis and negative remodeling of the distal internal carotid artery (ICA). We hypothesized that caveolin-1, a protein that controls the regulation of endothelial vesicular trafficking and signal transduction, is associated with negative remodeling in MMD. Methods: We prospectively recruited 77 consecutive patients with MMD (49 bilateral and 28 unilateral MMD) diagnosed by conventional angiography. Seventeen patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stroke and no RNF213 mutation served as controls. Distal ICA outer diameters were examined with high-resolution MRI. We evaluated whether the degree of negative remodeling in MMD patients was associated with RNF213 polymorphism, caveolin-1 levels, or various clinical and vascular risk factors. Results: The RNF213 variant was observed in 49 (63.6%) patients with MMD. The serum caveolin-1 (ng/mL) level was lower in MMD patients than in controls (0.47±0.29 vs. 0.86±0.68, P =0.034). The mean ICA diameter was 2.48±0.98 mm (range 0.00-4.76) for the 126 affected distal ICAs in MMD patients and 3.84±0.42 mm for asymptomatic ICAs in controls. After adjusting for possible confounders, male sex (coefficient, 0.396; P =0.029), clinical presentation with ischemic stroke (coefficient, -0.733; P 〈 0.001), and caveolin-1 level (coefficient, 1.018; P 〈 0.001) were independently associated with distal ICA diameter in MMD patients. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that caveolin-1 may play a major role in arterial negative remodeling in MMD patients. Future studies exploring caveolin-1 as a therapeutic target in MMD are warranted.

    Abstract: Background: Both intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) and moyamoya disease (MMD) are prevalent in Asians. We hypothesized that Ring Finger 213 (RNF213 p.Arg4810Lys) polymorphism, a susceptibility locus for MMD in East Asian, is a susceptible gene for ICAS confirmed by conventional angiography (absence of basal collaterals) and high-resolution MRI (HR-MRI, presence of plaque). Method: We analyzed 532 consecutive patients with ischemic events within the MCA distribution and relevant stenotic lesion on distal ICA or proximal MCA, but no demonstrable carotid or cardiac embolism sources. Additional angiography was performed in 370 (69.5%) patients, and HR-MRI in 283 (53.2%). Results: Based on angiographic and HR-MRI findings, 234 patients were diagnosed as ICAS, and 288 as MMD. The RNF213 variant was observed in 50 (21.4%) ICAS patients as well as 119 (69.1%) MMD patients. The RNF213 variant was observed in 25.2% (33 of 131) of patients with HR-MRI confirmed ICAS. Similarly, 15.8% (6 of 38) of ICAS patients in whom MMD was excluded by angiography had this variant. Among ICAS patients, RNF213 variant carriers were younger and more likely to have family history of MMD than non-carrier. Multivariate testing showed that age of ICAS onset was independent associated with RNF213 variant (odds ratio, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.944-0.99). Other clinical characteristics including vascular risk factors and HR-MRI findings were not different between them. Conclusions: RNF213 is susceptible gene not only for MMD but also for ICAS in East Asians. Further studies are needed on non-p.Arg4810Lys RNF213 variants in ICAS patients outside East Asian populations.
