Paracrine Action

AbstractCell therapy is considered as a treatment option for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Released molecules by cells paracrine action may promote tissue regeneration. Therefore we used bone-marrow mononuclear cells (BMMNCs) from GFP+ Wistar rats encapsulated in sodium alginate for AMI treatment. Animals were randomly allocated into groups – empty (EC); BMMNC capsules; or sham. AMI was induced by occlusion of left anterior artery and capsules were delivered intrathoracically. Troponin I was measured 24h after AMI and echocardiography was performed at 48h and 7d after AMI. On day 7 animals were euthanized and their hearts were harvested. Tissue levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, cleaved caspase-3, and catalase were measured. Technical procedures were performed by blinded operators. There was no difference in either heart morphofunctional parameters or biochemical analysis between AMI groups. We conclude that the paracrine effects of BMMNCs lacks efficacy to modulate events associated with AMI in the rat.

Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid

Objectives: We have recently shown that the transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) channel is exclusively upregulated in rat/murine peri-infarct monocytes/macrophages following an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and that this overexpression might be detrimental for cardiac recovery. We aimed to characterize the expression levels of TRPV2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of AMI patients relative to individuals with normal coronaries, and to analyze potential associations with inflammatory and cardiac ischemic markers. Methods: Patients who underwent coronary angiography due to AMI or chest pain were prospectively included. PBMCs were isolated from whole blood by Ficoll gradient centrifugation. TRPV2 expression was analyzed by real-time PCR. C-reactive protein (CRP) and troponin I (TpI) levels were determined at the central chemistry laboratory; interleukin 6 and insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 levels were tested by ELISA. Results: Following AMI, the number of TRPV2-expressing PBMCs was reduced when compared to in patients with normal coronaries. An inverse correlation was documented between the numbers of circulating macrophages and TRPV2 expression. Additionally, TRPV2 expression was inversely correlated with CRP and TpI and directly correlated with serum IGF-1. Conclusions: We assume that peripheral TRPV2 downregulation occurs concomitantly with the accumulation of TRPV2-white blood cells in the peri-infarct zone. TRPV2 may thus represent a novel target for treatment in the acute phase after MI.

Abstract Background Acute myocardial infarction is a major cause of death all over the world. Irisin is a novel myokine released after exercise. This work aimed to study the correlation between the serum irisin level and the severity of the acute myocardial infarction in the exercise-trained rats. Methods Forty-eight male rats were classified into four groups (12 for each): group I, control sedentary (C); group II, exercise-trained (EX) (swimming for 8 weeks); group III, isoprenaline-induced infarct (MI); and group IV, exercise-trained infarct (EX-MI) (swimming for 8 weeks followed by isoprenaline-induced infarction). ECG was recorded at start and end of the study, before and after induction of infarction. The serum level of irisin, lipid peroxidation [malondialdehyde (MDA)], total antioxidant status (TAS), creatine phosphokinase-MB (CK-MB), and troponin I was determined. The hearts were excised for histopathology and immunohistochemistry for caspase-3. Results The infarct rats showed significant prolongation in QTc interval and elevation in the ST segment as well as significant elevation of serum CK-MB, troponin I, and MDA, whereas TAS and serum irisin level were significantly decreased. With exercise, we observed a high positive correlation between the serum irisin and QRS duration (+0.643), amplitude (+0.860), and TAS (+0.887). In addition, there was a high negative correlation between the serum irisin and ST elevation (−0.865), QTc (−0.886), CK-MB (−0.891), troponin (−0.882), and MDA (−0.868). This was confirmed by the negative correlation between serum irisin and both collagen deposition and caspase-3 expression (–0.823 and –0.822, respectively). Conclusions We recommend regular exercise or taking recombinant irisin as a supplement to protect at-risk individuals against acute myocardial infarction.

Aim: To explore, which differential diagnoses to consider in individuals with elevated troponins without acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and the mortality for those individuals. Methods: Retrospective, register-based study on a representative sample of the Danish population with the following inclusion criteria: High-sensitive troponin I (hs-TnI) ≥25 ng/L, age ≥18 years, and exclusion of AMI. Results: 3067 individuals without AMI but increased hs-TnI were included. Most frequent discharge diagnoses: Pneumonia (12.8%), Aortic valve disorder (11.3%), Medical observation (10.9%) and Heart failure (8.9%). The 30-days and one-year mortality was 15.8% and 32.0%, respectively. Conclusions: A selected number of alternative diagnoses must be considered in individuals with increased hs-TnI. Due to high mortality it is crucial to carefully evaluate these individuals despite the absence of AMI.

Follow Up Study

Application of antibodies against cardiac troponin I (cTnI-Ab) can induce dilation and dysfunction of the heart in mice. Recently, we demonstrated that immunization with cTnI induces inflammation and fibrosis in myocardium of mice. Others have shown that autoanti-bodies to cTnI are present in patients with acute coronary syndrome. But little is known about the clinical relevance of detected cTnI-Ab. First, anti-cTnI and anti-cTnT antibody titers were measured in sera from 272 patients with dilated- (DCM) and 185 with ischemic- (ICM) cardiomyopathy. Secondly, 108 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were included for a follow-up study. Heart characteristics were determined by magnetic resonance imaging 4 days and 6 –9 months after AMI. Altogether, in 7,0% of patients with DCM and in 9,2% with ICM an anti-cTnI IgG antibody titer ≥1:160 was measured. In contrast, only in 1,7% of patients with DCM and in 0,5% with ICM an anti-cTnT IgG antibody titer ≥1:160 was detected. Ten out of 108 patients included in the follow-up study were tested positive for cTnI-Ab with IgG Ab titers ≥1:160. TnI-Ab negative patients showed a significant increase in LVEF and stroke volume 6 –9 months after AMI. In contrast, there was no significant increase in LVEF and stroke volume in TnI-Ab positive patients. We demonstrate for the first time that the prevalence of cTnI-Abs in patients with AMI has an impact on the improvement of the LVEF over a study period of 6 –9 months.

Ctni Level

Troponin I (cTnI) isoform is cardiac muscle specific protein and shown to have several features as a preferred marker of myocardial injury. It rises early in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and attains levels that are clearly separated from baseline values. It remains elevated for several days providing a long window for detection of cardiac injury. The objective of the study was to evaluate for the profile of cTnI level among symptomatic AMI patients. The study was conducted at National Institute of Cardiovascular Disease, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2007 to June 2008 and total 9552 patients with type 1 or type 2 MI were included. Blood Sample was taken within 3 days of symptoms and cTnI was measured by chemiluminescent immunometric assay method. cTnI was considered positive when the value was >1ng/ml and study population was divided as per age, sex and cTnI level. The mean (+ SD) age of all patients was 55(+ 12.8) years and majority was males (82.20%). Seasonal variation showed highest positive cases in winter. In case of circadian variation positive cTnI results were suggestive of morning peak of AMI. Positive results were obtained in 32.3% of Cases. cTnI is now considered as a better indicator of myocardial injury. Further study in depth is necessary to correlate with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests to make a complete profile of AMI according to the latest subtypes.
