TRPV6 Is Associated with Prognosis of ST-Elevation Acute Myocardial Infarction.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the relationship between Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 6 (TRPV6) and ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.

METHODS

This observational research included a total of 221 patients with STEMI admitted during January 2017~August 2019. Additionally, 50 cases of non-ST-elevation acute myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients and 50 healthy individuals were enrolled as the control. Serum levels of TRPV6 were detected by ELISA method. The relationship between TRPV6, clinical characteristics, laboratory indices of CK-MB, TnI, NT-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%) was analyzed by statistical methods. K-M curve was performed for survival time.

RESULTS

Serum levels of TRPV6 were remarkably lower in STEMI and NSTEMI patients compared with the healthy control. Levels of NT-pro-BNP and CK-MB were significantly higher and serum levels of TRPV6 were dramatically lower in deceased STEMI patients in comparison with the surviving patients. The levels of TRPV6 were negatively correlated with CK-MB and NT-pro-BNP. Meanwhile, TRPV6 was negatively expressed in tissues of STEMI patients and positively expressed in normal tissues. Patients with lower TRPV6 levels had remarkably lower LVEF ratio, higher GRACE scores, higher CK-MB and NT-pro-BNP levels, as well as higher ratios of cardiovascular death, malignant arrhythmia, cumulative MACE, and shorter survival time than patients with higher TRPV6.

CONCLUSION

The lower expression of TRPV6 was associated with poor clinical outcomes and prognosis of STEMI patients.
