Abstract
Background: Complement C1q plays a dual role in the atherosclerosis. Previous studies showed inconsistent results about the association of serum C1q levels and coronary artery disease (CAD). Here, we explored the associations of serum C1q activity with CAD, coronary stenosis severity, cardiovascular biomarkers, and 1-year restenosis after coronary artery revascularization.Methods: We enrolled 956 CAD patients and 677 controls to evaluate the associations of serum complement C1q activity to the presence and severity of obstructive CAD and non-obstructive CAD. Serum C1q activity and the concentrations of laboratory markers were measured in all subjects. All the data were analyzed using SPSS22.0 software.Results: Serum C1q activity in Obstructive CAD and Non-Obstructive CAD groups was significantly higher than the control group (195.52 ± 48.31 kU/L and 195.42 ± 51.25 kU/L vs. 183.44 ± 31.75 kU/L, P < 0.05). Greater C1q activity was significantly correlated with higher total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) levels. C1q activity was associated with an increased Odds Ratio (OR) of CAD (OR = 1.322, 95% CI 1.168–1.496, P < 0.05) and 1-year restenosis after revascularization (the highest OR = 3.544, 95% CI 1.089–12.702, P < 0.05). Complement C1q activity was not correlated with Gensini score in the Obstructive CAD group after adjustment for confounders. C1q activity has low value in predicting the incidence of CAD.Conclusion: Serum complement C1q activity is associated with obstructive CAD.
