Ischemia is known to potently stimulate autophagy in the heart, which may contribute to cardiomyocyte survival. In vitro, transfection with small interfering RNAs targeting Atg5 or Lamp-2 (an autophagy-related gene necessary, respectively, for the initiation and digestion step of autophagy), which specifically inhibited autophagy, diminished survival among cultured cardiomyocytes subjected to anoxia and significantly reduced their ATP content, confirming an autophagy-mediated protective effect against anoxia. We next examined the dynamics of cardiomyocyte autophagy and the effects of manipulating autophagy during acute myocardial infarction in vivo. Myocardial infarction was induced by permanent ligation of the left coronary artery in green fluorescent protein-microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (GFP-LC3) transgenic mice in which GFP-LC3 aggregates to be visible in the cytoplasm when autophagy is activated. Autophagy was rapidly (within 30 min after coronary ligation) activated in cardiomyocytes, and autophagic activity was particularly strong in salvaged cardiomyocytes bordering the infarcted area. Treatment with bafilomycin A1, an autophagy inhibitor, significantly increased infarct size (31% expansion) 24 h postinfarction. Interestingly, acute infarct size was significantly reduced (23% reduction) in starved mice showing prominent autophagy before infarction. Treatment with bafilomycin A1 reduced postinfarction myocardial ATP content, whereas starvation increased myocardial levels of amino acids and ATP, and the combined effects of bafilomycin A1 and starvation on acute infarct size offset one another. The present findings suggest that autophagy is an innate and potent process that protects cardiomyocytes from ischemic death during acute myocardial infarction. 相似文献

The study of ischemia/reperfusion injury included 25 patients in the acute phase of myocardial infarction (19 perfused, 6 remained non-reperfused as evaluated according to the time course of creatine kinase and CK-MB isoenzyme activity) and a control group (21 blood donors). Plasma level of malondialdehyde was followed as a marker of oxidative stress. Shortly after reperfusion (within 90 min), a transient increase of malondialdehyde concentration was detected. The return to the baseline level was achieved 6 h after the onset of therapy. The activity of a free radical scavenger enzyme, plasma glutathione peroxidase (GPx), reached its maximum 90 min after the onset of treatment and returned to the initial value after 18 h. The specificity of the GPx response was confirmed by comparing with both non-reperfused patients and the control group, where no significant increase was detected. The erythrocyte Cu,Zn-superoxide dismutase (SOD) did not exhibit significant changes during the interval studied in perfused patients, probably due to the stability of erythrocyte metabolism. In non-reperfused patients, a decrease of SOD was found during prolonged hypoxia. These results help to elucidate the mechanisms of fast activation of plasma antioxidant system during the reperfusion after myocardial infarction. 相似文献

Despite early recanalization of an occluded infarct artery, tissue reperfusion remains impaired in more than one-third of the acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients owing to a process of reperfusion injury. The role of systemic inflammation in triggering this phenomenon is unknown. Proinflammatory factors (hs-CRP, TNF-alpha ) and anti-inflammatory mediators (IL-1 receptor antagonist, IL-10) were measured in 65 patients during the acute phase of a myocardial infarction as well as in 11 healthy control subjects. Myocardial reperfusion injury was defined as the presence of persistent ST-segment elevation despite successful coronary intervention (> or = 50 of the initial value) and was observed in 28 patients. Systemic proinflammatory mediators (particularly hs-CRP and leukocytes) were higher in AMI patients compared to control subjects. Within the group of AMI patients, only serum TNF-alpha differed significantly between patients with versus without reperfusion injury: a median value of 25 versus 13 pg/mL was observed, respectively. Logistic regression analysis identified a high level of TNF-alpha as the most important independent determinant of reperfusion injury (P = .001), beyond total ischemic time (P = .01) and extent of jeopardized myocardium (P = .08). There was no correlation between the TNF-alpha level and the total ischemic time (P = .8) or the extent of jeopardized myocardium (P = .6). Systemic inflammation, in particular high levels of TNF-alpha , is strongly associated with the occurrence of reperfusion injury after successful recanalization. Our findings suggest that TNF-alpha is involved in the triggering and/or amplification of local inflammatory responses related to ischemia-reperfusion injury. 相似文献

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), a member of kallikrein family, is a specific serine protease of prostatic tissue. In some case reports, changes in PSA levels after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have been reported. In this study we evaluated variations in PSA levels post-AMI. Twenty-six male patients who had PSA levels within reference limits were included in the study. The diagnosis of AMI was confirmed by clinical findings, ECG (electrocardiogram) and cardiac marker studies. Serum total PSA (tPSA) and free PSA (fPSA) levels were measured at days 0 (day of admission), 1, 2 and 3 after AMI. PSA/albumin ratio was also calculated in order to evaluate the effect of dilution. A statistical analysis of the results of all patients revealed significant decrease in tPSA levels and tPSA/Albumin ratio at day 2 when compared to days 0 and 3, which showed a similar pattern. Changes of fPSA and fPSA/ Albumin ratio according to days were not found significant. In only four patients we found increased levels of tPSA and increased fPSA levels in three of them. These patients displayed severe problems such as renal failure, cardiac failure, ventricular aneurysm and cerebral ischemia due to cardiac arrest. The lower tPSA levels on day 2 suggest that tPSA can be eliminated rapidly from the circulation on days 1 and 2, probably through the formation of complexes of tPSA with acute phase proteins. 相似文献

The antithrombin III (AT III) activity and the AT III concentration were investigated in 62 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To identify the reactant pattern of AT III in postaggressive situations, we also determined labile and acute phase proteins. Firstly, 29 patients were nourished orally and then 33 patients were fed by i.v. hyperalimentation (additional caloric intake of approximately 1,000 cal). AT III activities and concentrations as well as prealbumin and retinol-binding protein decreased concomittantly and significantly whereas haptoglobin, C-reactive protein and fibrinogen increased significantly after AMI. The changes cannot be interpreted as being alterations of the haematocrit. The alterations of AT III correlated significantly with the changes of labile proteins but not with the acute phase reactant proteins. The AT III decrease in the postinfarctional phase may promote a prethrombotic state. In In addition it can be concluded from our results that AT III reacts as (nutritive-dependent) labile protein, which is lowered in postaggressive situation and does not increase as an acute phase reactant. This is in accordance with results from recent animal experiments. 相似文献

Gender differences in cardiac function during early remodeling after acute myocardial infarction in mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
There are conflicting data about gender differences in cardiac function after myocardial infarction (MI), including cardiac rupture and mortality. Using a mouse model of MI, we recently found that the cardiac rupture rate during the first week after MI was significantly lower in females than in males, suggesting that females have attenuated structural remodeling. Thus in this study, we attempted to determine whether: a) females have attenuated remodeling and faster healing during the early phase post-MI, and b) females have better cardiac function and outcome during the chronic phase compared to males. MI was induced in 12-week-old male and female C57BL/6J mice. Signs of early remodeling, including cardiac rupture, infarct expansion, inflammatory response, and collagen deposition, were studied during the first 2 weeks post-MI. Left ventricular remodeling and function were followed for 12 weeks post-MI. We found that males had a higher rate of cardiac rupture, occurring mainly at 3 to 5 days of MI and associated with a higher infarct expansion index. Neutrophil infiltration at the infarct border was more pronounced in males than females during the first days of MI, which were also characterized by increased MMP activity. However, the number of infiltrating macrophages was significantly higher in females at day 4. During the chronic phase post-MI, males had significantly poorer LV function, more prominent dilatation and significant myocyte hypertrophy compared to females. In conclusion, males have delayed myocardial healing, resulting in cardiac rupture, and the survivors have poorer cardiac function and pronounced maladaptive remodeling, whereas females show a better outcome during the development of HF. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Levels of adrenomedullin (AM), a potent vasodilatory peptide, have been shown to increase in the early stage of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The purpose of this study was to determine whether coronary sinus-aortic step-up of mature forms of AM is accelerated in patients with AMI after reperfusion. METHODS: The subjects were 29 consecutive patients with a first episode of anterior AMI and 10 normal controls. All patients with AMI underwent balloon reperfusion therapy within 24 h after symptom onset. Plasma levels of two molecular forms of AM (an active, mature form [AM-m] and an intermediate, inactive glycine-extended form [AM-Gly]) in the aorta and coronary sinus (CS) were measured by specific immunoradiometric assay after reperfusion. RESULTS: Plasma levels of AM-m and AM-Gly in the aorta and CS were higher in AMI patients than in controls. CS-aortic step-up of AM-m, which is an index of myocardial production of AM-m, was significantly greater in AMI patients than in controls (1.7 +/- 1.4 vs. 0.4 +/- 0.3 pmol/L, P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in CS-aortic step-up of AM-Gly (P = 0.30). AMI patients with left ventricular dysfunction (n = 10) had a significantly higher CS-aortic AM-m step-up than AMI patients without left ventricular dysfunction (n = 19). AM-m in the aorta and CS negatively correlated with the left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.50, r = -0.48, P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Myocardial synthesis of AM-m is accelerated in patients with reperfused AMI, especially in patients with critical left ventricular dysfunction. Increased myocardial synthesis of active AM may protect against cardiac dysfunction, myocardial remodeling, or both after the onset of AMI. 相似文献

Simple criteria were used to select a low-risk group of patients after acute myocardial infarction. The criteria depended on the presence or absence of diabetes, pulmonary oedema, serious rhythm disorders, and recurrent cardiac pain. Patients in the low-risk category with a suitable home environment were discharged from hospital after five to seven days (mean 6.2 days); they constituted 47% of the 267 hospital survivors over 18 months. Mortality in the selected patients was 2.4% at six weeks and 7% at one year. Most complications preventing early discharge were identified on the first day. Provisional selection for a short hospital stay was made after two days, and 76% of those judged suitable at 48 hours remained free of complications. Early selection of a low-risk category is justifiable and of practical value, though subsequent events will delay discharge for some patients. All patients who died in hospital or within two weeks after infarction had developed overt complications by the end of the fourth day. The results suggest that a policy of hospital discharge after four days would be justifiable for a low-risk group selected by the present criteria. 相似文献
