Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) significantly contributes to overall myocardial damage. As a consequence of I/R injury in the heart, the high-temperature requirement protein A2 (HtrA2) is released from the mitochondrial intermembrane space of cardiomyocytes to the cytoplasm, whereupon it induces apoptosis.
Serum was obtained from STEMI (n=37), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (n=20), stable coronary artery disease (CAD) (n=17) and patients with CAD excluded (n=9). In STEMI, I/R injury was assessed via measurement of ST-segment resolution.
HtrA2 was significantly increased in STEMI compared to NSTEMI, stable CAD and patients with CAD excluded (981.3 (IQR: 543.5-1526.2)pg/mL vs. 494.5 (IQR: 413.8-607)pg/mL vs. 291 (IQR: 239-458.5)pg/mL vs. 692.2 (IQR: 276.6-964.7)pg/mL; p≤0.0001). STEMI patients with HtrA2 level of at least the median or above had a higher peak creatine kinase (CK) (p=0.0002) and cardiac troponin T levels (cTnT) (p=0.0019). Significantly more STEMI patients with HtrA2 levels of at least the median or above were identified as I/R injury (87% vs. 42%; p<0.0001). Serum HtrA2 demonstrated a superior area under a curve in a receiver operating characteristic analysis for predicting I/R injury compared to CK, creatine kinase myocardial-band (CK-MB) and cTnT levels (AUC=0.7105 vs. AUC=0.5632 vs. AUC=0.5660 vs. AUC=0.5407 respectively).
HtrA2 shows promise as a novel potential biomarker for mitochondrial-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and may help to identify I/R injury after STEMI.
ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)中的缺血再灌注(I/R)损伤是导致整体心肌损伤的重要因素。作为心脏I/R损伤的结果,高温需求蛋白A2(HtrA2)从心肌细胞的线粒体外膜间隙释放到细胞质中,进而诱导细胞凋亡。
采集STEMI患者(n = 37)、非ST段抬高型心肌梗死(NSTEMI)患者(n = 20)、稳定型冠状动脉疾病(CAD)患者(n = 17)以及排除CAD的患者(n = 9)的血清。在STEMI患者中,通过测量ST段回落情况评估I/R损伤。
与NSTEMI患者、稳定型CAD患者以及排除CAD的患者相比,STEMI患者的HtrA2水平显著升高(分别为981.3(四分位间距:543.5 - 1526.2)pg/mL vs. 494.5(四分位间距:413.8 - 607)pg/mL vs. 291(四分位间距:239 - 458.5)pg/mL vs. 692.2(四分位间距:276.6 - 964.7)pg/mL;p≤0.0001)。HtrA2水平至少处于中位数及以上的STEMI患者肌酸激酶(CK)峰值(p = 0.0002)和心肌肌钙蛋白T(cTnT)水平更高(p = 0.0019)。HtrA2水平至少处于中位数及以上的STEMI患者中,被判定为I/R损伤的比例显著更高(87% vs. 42%;p < 0.0001)。在预测I/R损伤的受试者工作特征分析中,血清HtrA2曲线下面积优于CK、肌酸激酶同工酶(CK-MB)和cTnT水平(曲线下面积分别为0.7105 vs. 0.5632 vs. 0.5660 vs. 0.5407)。
HtrA2有望成为线粒体诱导的心肌细胞凋亡的新型潜在生物标志物,并可能有助于识别STEMI后的I/R损伤。
