Proinflammatory components are present in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Circulating monocytes display heterogeneity, and three subsets have been identified, based on the differential expression for CD14 and CD16 receptors: CD14(+)CD16(-), classical, CD14(+)CD16(+), intermediate and CD14(dim)CD16(+), non-classical monocytes. Increased proinflammatory CD16(+) monocytes with high expression of CD143 are present in CKD patients. D-dimer is increased in AAA patients, and might contribute to the pro-inflammatory response associated to circulating monocytes. We aimed to investigate the frequency of CD14(+)CD16(+), CD14(dim)CD16(+) monocytes and monocyte CD143 expression in AAA patients, and their relationship with D-dimer, eGFR and other inflammatory parameters. Blood from 74 AAA patients and 30 healthy controls was analyzed to determine the frequency of CD14(+)CD16(+), CD14(dim)CD16(+) monocytes and the monocyte CD143 expression by means of flow-cytometry. AAA patients had expanded CD16(+) subsets (CD14(+)CD16(+): 7.66 +/- 0.31% vs 5.42 +/- 0.27%; CD14(dim)CD16(+): 7.43 +/- 0.48% vs 5.54 +/- 0.38%, AAA vs controls, mean +/- SE, both p < 0.05). CD14(+)CD16(+) cells were associated to D-dimer and age, and to reduced eGFR. CD14(dim)CD16(+) cells were associated to uric acid, surface CD143, and reduced count of total leukocytes and neutrophils. Within AAA patients, the two CD16(+) subsets and the monocyte CD143 expression display different relationships with D-dimer, parameters of renal function and circulating biochemical and inflammatory biomarkers.
