Previously, researchers have suggested that Soluble (s) P-selectin mediates the accumulation of leukocytes which in turn promotes fibril deposition. Soluble P-selectin and white blood cell (WBC) counts have been shown to be increased in the systemic circulation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, whether the infarct coronary artery (ICA) and systemic circulation differs with respect to the concentration of sP-selectin and WBC counts following AMI remain unknown. In this study, we investigated whether the concentration of sP-selectin and WBC counts differed between the ICA and the systemic circulation after AMI.
Blood samples for circulating sP-selectin and WBC counts were immediately obtained after vascular puncture in 72 patients with AMI of < 12 h undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Additionally, blood samples for ICA sP-selectin and WBC counts were obtained via Export Suction Catheter during PCI. For comparison, blood samples for sP-selectin and WBC counts were obtained once in 30 healthy subjects.
The results demonstrated that the circulating sP-selectin [64.7 +/- 18.1 (ng/ml) vs. 29.5 +/- 6.3 (ng/ml), p < 0.0001] and WBC counts [12.1 +/- 3.6 (x 10(3)/ml) vs. 5.0 +/- 1.0 (x 10(3)/ml), p < 0.0001] were significantly higher in our patients than in healthy subjects. Furthermore, the sP-selectin [72.7 +/- 23.3 (ng/ml) vs. 64.7 +/- 18.1 (ng/ml), p < 0.0001] and the WBC counts [16.2 +/- 3.8 (x 10(3/)ml) vs. 12.1 +/- 3.6 (x 10(3)/ml), p < 0.0001] were markedly higher in the ICA than in the systemic circulation for the patients.
The plasma level of sP-selectin and WBC counts were more elevated in the ICA than in the systemic circulation of patients with AMI undergoing primary PCI. These findings strengthen the role of sequestration of WBC and sP-selectin in the ICA as crucial in thrombus formation.
此前,研究人员认为可溶性(s)P-选择素介导白细胞的聚集,进而促进纤维蛋白沉积。急性心肌梗死(AMI)后,全身循环中的可溶性P-选择素和白细胞(WBC)计数已被证明会升高。然而,AMI后梗死冠状动脉(ICA)和全身循环中sP-选择素浓度及WBC计数是否存在差异仍不清楚。在本研究中,我们调查了AMI后ICA和全身循环中sP-选择素浓度及WBC计数是否存在差异。
对72例发病时间<12小时且正在接受直接经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)的AMI患者进行血管穿刺后,立即采集用于检测循环sP-选择素和WBC计数的血样。此外,在PCI期间通过导出抽吸导管采集用于检测ICA中sP-选择素和WBC计数的血样。作为对照,对30名健康受试者采集一次用于检测sP-选择素和WBC计数的血样。
结果表明,我们的患者循环中的sP-选择素[64.7±18.1(ng/ml)对29.5±6.3(ng/ml),p<0.0001]和WBC计数[12.1±3.6(×10³/ml)对5.0±1.0(×10³/ml),p<0.0001]显著高于健康受试者。此外,患者ICA中的sP-选择素[72.7±23.3(ng/ml)对64.7±18.1(ng/ml),p<0.0001]和WBC计数[16.2±3.8(×10³/ml)对12.1±3.6(×10³/ml),p<0.0001]明显高于全身循环中的水平。
在接受直接PCI的AMI患者中,ICA中sP-选择素的血浆水平和WBC计数比全身循环中的升高更明显。这些发现强化了ICA中白细胞和sP-选择素隔离在血栓形成中起关键作用的观点。
