sST2 and Heart Failure—Clinical Utility and Prognosis
New parameters and markers are constantly being sought to help better assess patients with heart failure (HF). ST2 protein has gained interest as a potential biomarker in cardiovascular disease. It is known that the IL-33/ST2L system belongs to the cardioprotective pathway, which prevents the fibrosis, hypertrophy, and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes and ...

Sex and age differences in sST2 in cardiovascular disease
AimsThe goal of this study was to determine whether sex and age differences exist for soluble ST2 (sST2) for several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).MethodsWe examined sST2 levels using an ELISA kit for myocarditis (n = 303), cardiomyopathy (n = 293 ...

sST2 as a value-added biomarker in heart failure [PDF]
Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2) is a biomarker widely investigated during the last few years. Its role has become clear in pathological conditions such as fibrosis and inflammation. From translational research to laboratory medicine, considerable efforts have been made to elucidate the features of sST2 biomarker and to consider its ...

Serum sST2 levels predict severe exacerbation of asthma [PDF]
Background Neutrophilic inflammation is associated with poorly controlled asthma. Serum levels of sST2, a soluble IL-33 receptor, increase in neutrophilic lung diseases. We hypothesized that high serum sST2 levels in stable asthmatics are a predictor for

Primary sources and immunological prerequisites for sST2 secretion in humans [PDF]
Serum levels of the soluble growth stimulation gene-2 (sST2) are elevated in heart and pulmonary diseases. However, the relationship of the sST2/interleukin (IL)-33 axis and its triggers as well as its organ distribution is still not known. This study was thus designed to investigate the cellular origin and regulation of sST2 and IL-33 in vitro and in ...

Plasma Soluble ST2 as a Prognostic Biomarker for Cardiovascular Events and Mortality in COVID-19 Patients [PDF]
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is frequently complicated by cardiovascular involvement. Soluble growth stimulation-expressed gene 2 (sST2) is a promising cardiovascular biomarker, but its prognostic value in COVID-19 remains unclear ...

The elevated levels of soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2 are associated with coronary atherosclerotic plaque destabilization in unstable angina patients: a case control study [PDF]
Background Plaque destabilization and rupture are the primary triggers of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2 (sST2) has been implicated in cardiovascular disease.
