Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, yet biomarkers for AMI in the short- or medium-term are lacking. We apply the discordant twin pair design, reducing genetic and environmental confounding, by linking nationwide registry data on AMI diagnoses to a survey of 12,349 twins, thereby identifying 39 twin pairs (48-79 years) discordant for their first-ever AMI within three years after blood sampling. Mass spectrometry of blood plasma identified 715 proteins. Among 363 proteins with a call rate > 50%, imputation and stratified Cox regression analysis revealed seven significant proteins (FDR < 0.05): FGD6, MCAM, and PIK3CB reflected an increased level in AMI twins relative to their non-AMI co-twins (HR > 1), while LBP, IGHV3-15, C1RL, and APOC4 reflected a decreased level in AMI twins relative to their non-AMI co-twins (HR < 1). Additional 50 proteins were nominally significant ( < 0.05), and bioinformatics analyses of all 57 proteins revealed biology within hemostasis, coagulation cascades, the immune system, and the extracellular matrix. A protein-protein-interaction network revealed Fibronectin 1 as a central hub. Finally, technical validation confirmed MCAM, LBP, C1RL, and APOC3. We put forward novel biomarkers for incident AMI, a part of the proteome field where markers are surprisingly rare and where additional studies are highly needed.
急性心肌梗死(AMI)是全球范围内导致死亡和发病的主要原因,然而,目前缺乏用于短期或中期诊断AMI的生物标志物。我们采用不一致双胞胎对设计,通过将全国范围内的AMI诊断登记数据与一项针对12349对双胞胎的调查相联系,减少遗传和环境混杂因素,从而识别出39对(年龄在48 - 79岁之间)在采血后三年内首次发生AMI情况不一致的双胞胎。血浆质谱分析鉴定出715种蛋白质。在检出率>50%的363种蛋白质中,插补和分层Cox回归分析揭示了7种显著蛋白质(FDR<0.05):FGD6、MCAM和PIK3CB在AMI双胞胎中相对于其非AMI的同卵双胞胎水平升高(HR>1),而LBP、IGHV3 - 15、C1RL和APOC4在AMI双胞胎中相对于其非AMI的同卵双胞胎水平降低(HR<1)。另外50种蛋白质具有名义显著性(<0.05),对所有57种蛋白质的生物信息学分析揭示了止血、凝血级联反应、免疫系统和细胞外基质方面的生物学特性。蛋白质 - 蛋白质相互作用网络显示纤连蛋白1是一个中心枢纽。最后,技术验证证实了MCAM、LBP、C1RL和APOC3。我们提出了用于新发AMI的新型生物标志物,在蛋白质组领域这一部分,标志物出奇地稀少,非常需要进一步的研究。
