ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) occurs as a result of acute occlusion of the coronary artery. Despite successful reperfusion using primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI), a large percentage of myocardial cells die after reperfusion, which is recognized as ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/R). There are rapid changes in plasma lipidome during myocardial reperfusion injury. However, the impact of coronary artery reperfusion on plasma oxylipins is unknown. This study aimed to investigate alterations in the oxylipin profiles of STEMI patients during ischemia and at various reperfusion time points following PPCI. Blood samples were collected from patients presenting with STEMI prior to PPCI (Isch, n = 45) and subsequently 2 h following successful reperfusion by PPCI (R-2 h, n = 42), after 24 h (R-24 h, n = 44), after 48 h (R-48 h, n = 43), and then 30 days post PPCI (R-30 d, n = 29). As controls, blood samples were collected from age- and sex-matched patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease after diagnostic coronary angiography. High-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) using deuterated standards was used to identify and quantify oxylipins. In patients presenting with STEMI prior to reperfusion (Isch group), the levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-derived oxylipins were significantly higher when compared with controls. Their levels were also significantly correlated with the peak levels of creatine kinase (CK) and troponin T(TnT) before reperfusion (CK: r = 0.33, = 0.046, TnT: r = 0.50, = 1.00 × 10). The total concentrations of oxylipins directly produced by 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX) were also significantly elevated in the Isch group compared with controls. The ratio of epoxides (generated through epoxygenase) to diols (generated by soluble epoxide hydrolysis (sEH)) was significantly lower in the Isch group compared with the controls. Following reperfusion, there was an overall reduction in plasma oxylipins in STEMI patients starting at 24 h post PPCI until 30 days. Univariate receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis also showed that an elevated ratio of epoxides to diols during ischemia is a predictor of smaller infarct size in patients with STEMI. This study revealed a large alteration in plasma oxylipins in patients presenting with STEMI when compared with controls. Total oxylipin levels rapidly reduced post reperfusion with stable levels reached 24 h post reperfusion and maintained for up to 30 days post infarct. Given the shifts in plasma oxylipins following coronary artery reperfusion, further research is needed to delineate their clinical impact in STEMI patients.
ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)是冠状动脉急性闭塞的结果。尽管采用直接经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PPCI)成功实现了再灌注,但很大一部分心肌细胞在再灌注后死亡,这被认为是缺血/再灌注损伤(I/R)。心肌再灌注损伤期间血浆脂质组会发生快速变化。然而,冠状动脉再灌注对血浆氧化脂质的影响尚不清楚。本研究旨在调查STEMI患者在缺血期间以及PPCI术后不同再灌注时间点氧化脂质谱的变化。在PPCI前(缺血期,n = 45)从STEMI患者采集血样,随后在PPCI成功再灌注后2小时(R-2小时,n = 42)、24小时后(R-24小时,n = 44)、48小时后(R-48小时,n = 43)以及PPCI术后30天(R-30天,n = 29)采集血样。作为对照,在诊断性冠状动脉造影后从年龄和性别匹配的非阻塞性冠状动脉疾病患者采集血样。使用氘代标准品的高效液相色谱-质谱联用(HPLC-MS/MS)用于鉴定和定量氧化脂质。在再灌注前的STEMI患者(缺血组)中,与对照组相比,二十二碳六烯酸(DHA)衍生的氧化脂质水平显著更高。它们的水平也与再灌注前肌酸激酶(CK)和肌钙蛋白T(TnT)的峰值水平显著相关(CK:r = 0.33,P = 0.046,TnT:r = 0.50,P = 1.00×10⁻⁶)。与对照组相比,缺血组中由5-脂氧合酶(5-LOX)直接产生的氧化脂质总浓度也显著升高。与对照组相比,缺血组中环氧物(通过环氧合酶产生)与二醇(由可溶性环氧水解酶(sEH)产生)的比例显著更低。再灌注后,STEMI患者血浆氧化脂质从PPCI术后24小时开始直至30天总体下降。单因素受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析还表明,缺血期间环氧物与二醇比例升高是STEMI患者梗死面积较小的预测指标。本研究显示,与对照组相比,STEMI患者血浆氧化脂质有很大变化。再灌注后氧化脂质总水平迅速下降,在再灌注后24小时达到稳定水平,并在梗死发生后长达30天维持稳定。鉴于冠状动脉再灌注后血浆氧化脂质的变化,需要进一步研究以阐明它们对STEMI患者的临床影响。
