Abstract
Background: Heart failure (HF) is associated with changes in inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers. This study
aimed to evaluate the changes of a panel of inflammatory and oxidative stress biomarkers in dogs with different stages
of HF and its relation with the severity of the disease and echocardiographic changes. A total of 29 dogs with HF as a
result of myxomatous mitral valve degeneration or dilated cardiomyopathy were included and classified as stage-A
(healthy), B (asymptomatic dogs), C (symptomatic dogs) and D (dogs with end-stage HF) according to the ACVIM
staging system. In these dogs an ecnhocardiographic examination was performed and cytokines, and inflammatory
and oxidative stress markers were evaluated in serum.
Results: KC-like was significantly increased in dogs of stage-C (P<0.01) and -D (P < 0.05) compared with stage-A and
-B. Stage-D dogs showed significantly higher serum CRP and Hp (P < 0.05) but lower serum antioxidant capacity (PON1,
TEAC, CUPRAC, and thiol) compared to stage-A and -B (P < 0.05). After the treatment, serum levels of CRP, Hp and KClike
decreased and serum antioxidant levels increased compared to their pre-treatment values. Left ventricular
dimension and LA/Ao ratio correlated positively with CRP, MCP-1, and KC-like but negatively with PON1, GM-CSF, IL-7
and antioxidant biomarkers (P < 0.01).
Conclusion: Our results showed that dogs with advanced HF show increases in positive acute-phase proteins and selected
inflammatory cytokines such as KC-like, and decreases in antioxidant biomarkers, indicating that inflammation and oxidative
stress act as collaborative partners in the pathogenesis of HF. Some of these biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress
could have the potential to be biomarkers to monitor the severity of the disease and the effect of treatment.
