Abstract Background and Purpose: Ischemic stroke, such as Transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cerebral infarction (CI) , are the serious problems in the aging society. Therefore, development of biomarkers for TIA and CI is attempted.Methods: Candidate antigens recognized by IgG autoantibodies in the sera of nineteen TIA patients were screened by a human aortic endothelial cell cDNA library. Serum antibody levels against the antigens were examined by amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay (AlphaLISA) in healthy donor (HD), TIA, and CI cohorts (n = 285, 92 and 529). A case-control study nested within the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Cohort Study (JPHC) was performed.Results: Aldolase A, fructose-bisphosphate (ALDOA) and fumarate hydratase (FH) were identified as the candidate antigens. AlphaLISA revealed that anti-ALDOA and anti-FH antibody levels were both higher in TIA or CI patients than in HDs ( P < 0.0001). The levels of anti-ALDOA [Odds ratio (OR): 2.46, P = 0.005] and anti-FH (OR: 2.49, P = 0.0037) were independent predictors of TIA by multivariate logistic regression analysis, similar results were found in CI. The case-control study showed the levels of anti-ALDOA (OR: 2.50, P < 0.01) and anti-FH (OR: 2.60, P < 0.01) were associated with risk of CI. Spearman’s correlation analysis demonstrated an association between the anti-ALDOA and anti-FH levels and risk factors of ischemic stroke, such as age, smoking habit, coronary heart disease, and hypertension.Conclusions: Anti-ALDOA and anti-FH antibodies can serve as novel potential biomarkers for prediction of TIA and CI.

Objective To determine the associations between matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2, encoded by the MMP2 gene) 1306C/T and 735C/T polymorphisms and first and recurrent ischemic stroke in a Chinese population. Methods Patients with first and recurrent ischemic stroke were included. Serum MMP-2 was measured, and MMP2 1306C/T and 735C/T polymorphisms were detected. The associations between MMP2 1306C/T and 735C/T polymorphisms and first and recurrent ischemic stroke were analyzed. Results Serum MMP-2 in patients with first and recurrent ischemic stroke was significantly higher compared with controls, and patients with recurrent ischemic stroke had higher MMP-2 than those with first ischemic stroke. The frequency of the CC genotype and C allele of MMP2 735C/T was highest in patients with recurrent ischemic stroke, followed by patients with first ischemic stroke, and controls. Conversely, the genotype and allele of MMP2 1306C/T did not significantly differ between groups. The CC genotype of MMP2 735C/T was independently associated with first and recurrent ischemic stroke (odds ratios = 1.45 and 1.64, respectively), as was the C allele of MMP2 735C/T (odds ratios = 1.68 and 1.77, respectively). Conclusions The CC genotype and C allele of MMP2 735C/T were associated with first and recurrent ischemic stroke in a Chinese population.
