Augmented secretion of brain natriuretic peptide in acute myocardial infarction.

In order to elucidate biosynthesis and secretion of natriuretic peptides in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), we measured the plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), a novel cardiac hormone secreted from the ventricle, in patients with AMI and compared with that of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP). The plasma level of BNP increased rapidly (within hours from the onset of AMI) and markedly (greater than 100 times the normal level) as compared to that of ANP. The plasma ANP level correlated with pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), whereas the plasma BNP level did not correlate with PCWP but highly correlated inversely with cardiac index. These results indicate that BNP is secreted from the heart much more acutely and prominently than ANP in the early phase of AMI, in association with left ventricular dysfunction.

目的:观察大鼠急性心肌梗死后不同时间心肌钙敏感受体(CaSR)的表达和心肌细胞凋亡的变化情况。方法:健康Wistar大鼠随机分为假手术组(Sham)和心肌梗死(AMI)组,通过结扎左侧冠状动脉前降支的方法,建立大鼠心肌梗死模型,分别在手术后1、2、4周(每组成功存活n=5)检测心脏形态学和血流动力学的改变,检测心肌组织中CaSRmRNA和蛋白的表达,以及Bax、Bcl-2、caspase-3和caspase-9蛋白的表达,检测血清中乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)、肌酸激酶(CK)活性和肌钙蛋白(cTnT)水平,观察心肌细胞凋亡情况。结果:和Sham组相比,随着心肌梗死的发展,AMI组大鼠心肌组织CaSR的mRNA和蛋白的表达、细胞凋亡指数均明显增加(P<0.05),心肌细胞超微结构损伤严重;左心室收缩压(LVSP)、左心室内压最大上升速率(+dp/dtmax)(mmHg/s)和最大下降速率(-dp/dtmax)(mmHg/s)减少,左心室舒张末期压(LVEDP)明显增大(P<0.05);AMI组血清cTnT水平、CK和LDH活性均升高(P<0.05),随着心肌梗死的发展,cTnT水平和CK活性逐渐降低,LDH变化不明显。心肌组织中促凋亡相关蛋白Bax、caspase-3、caspase-9表达增多,抑制凋亡的相关蛋白(或因子)Bcl-2表达减少(P<0.05)。结论:随着AMI的发展,AMI组大鼠心肌组织中CaSR的mRNA和蛋白的表达增多,细胞凋亡数增加,表明CaSR参与了心肌梗死的发展,其机制可能与促进细胞凋亡有关。     

Anti-inflammatory effects of exercise training in the early period after myocardial infarction

The aim of this investigation was to determine the effect of exercise training on the levels of plasma cytokines and acute phase reactants in the early post acute myocardial infarction (AMI) period. Sixty patients were enrolled into this three-week cardiac rehabilitation study. The mean time from AMI was 7.08 +/- 1.60 days, and the patient mean age was 60 +/- 10 years. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two groups: the control group treated with standard measures, and the group with additional regular moderate-intensity exercise training. Physical activity was based on the ergospirometry test results. Apart from clinical follow-up and routine laboratory analysis we determined the levels of plasma cytokines: tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), soluble TNF-alpha receptor 1 (TNF-alphaSR1), interleukin (IL)-8, IL-10, and acute phase reactants: high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and fibrinogen. The obtained results confirmed the hypothesis that the early post AMI period is an inflammatory state the intensity of which gradually decreases with standard treatment during the first month after AMI, while including patients into early exercise training improves their inflammatory profile by decreasing the level of acute phase reactant and TNF-alphaSR1.

Plasma profiles of circulating granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and soluble cellular adhesion molecules in acute myocardial infarction. Contribution to post-infarction left ventricular dysfunction

No in vivo data exist about the relationship of circulating granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and soluble adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 (sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1) to the severity of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the pathophysiological events of post-infarction left ventricular dysfunction. We investigated the kinetics of these inflammatory mediators in the plasma of patients with AMI, and correlated the findings with the clinical severity of the disease during the first week of hospitalization as well as the degree of left ventricular dysfunction one month after the AMI. Plasma levels of inflammatory markers were determined in 41 AMI patients (all received thrombolytic treatment) by ELISA assays, serially during the first week of hospitalization and one month after hospital admission. Patients (n = 20) with uncomplicated AMI (Killip class I) were classified as group A, patients (n = 21) with AMI complicated by heart failure manifestations (Killip classes II and III) were classified as group B, while 20 age- and sex-matched volunteers were used as healthy controls. A sustained increase in GM-CSF, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 plasma concentrations was observed only in group B during the first week of the study. Patients from group B exhibited significantly higher levels of GM-CSF (P < 0.01), sICAM-1 (P < 0.05) and sVCAM-1 (P < 0.01) than patients from group A and the healthy controls (P < 0.001). In group B patients, significant correlations were observed between the peak of GM-CSF levels and the peak of serum creatine kinase-MB (r = 0.42; P < 0.05), white blood cell counts (r = 0.67; P < 0.001) and LVEF (r =- 0.51; P < 0.01). At one month follow-up, patients (n = 17) with severe post-infarction left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF 35%). Significant correlations were observed between GM-CSF levels and left ventricular end-diastolic volume index (r = 0.55; P < 0.001) or left ventricular end-systolic volume index (r = 0.49; P = 0.001). We have found a significant elevation of plasma GM-CSF and soluble adhesion molecules during the course of AMI, with the highest values in patients with AMI complicated by heart failure manifestations and severe left ventricular dysfunction. These monocyte-related inflammatory mediators may actively contribute to the pathophysiology of the disease and post-infarction cardiac dysfunction.

Atrial natriuretic peptide, B-type natriuretic peptide, and serum collagen markers after acute myocardial infarction.

Experimental data suggest that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) act locally as antifibrotic factors in heart. We investigated the interrelationships of natriuretic peptides and collagen markers in 93 patients receiving thrombolytic treatment for their first acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Collagen formation following AMI, evaluated as serum levels of amino terminal propeptide of type III procollagen, correlated with NH(2)-terminal proANP (r = 0.45, P < 0.001), BNP (r = 0.55, P < 0.001) and NH(2)-terminal proBNP (r = 0.50, P < 0.01) on day 4 after thrombolysis. Levels of intact amino terminal propeptide of type I procollagen decreased by 34% (P < 0.001), and levels of carboxy terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) increased by 65% (P < 0.001). ICTP levels correlated with NH(2)-terminal proBNP (r = 0.25, P < 0.05) and BNP (r = 0.28, P < 0.05) on day 4. Our results suggest that ANP and BNP may act as regulators of collagen scar formation and left ventricular remodeling after AMI in humans. Furthermore, degradation of type I collagen is increased after AMI and may be regulated by BNP.     

Atrial natriuretic peptide levels during development of chronic heart failure after myocardial infarction in rats

Serum levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) are elevated in chronic heart failure presumably due to dilatation of the left atrium resulting from increases in intracardiac pressures. To define the time course of changes in serum ANP levels and to determine the relationship to left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, rats were subjected to coronary artery ligation to produce myocardial infarction and left ventricular failure. Atrial natriuretic peptide levels were measured weekly for four weeks thereafter. In rats with myocardial infarction and elevation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure there was no change in ANP levels at 7 and 14 days. However, at day 21 and 28, ANP levels were elevated more than 3 fold. There was a correlation between ANP levels and left ventricular end-diastolic pressures. There was no correlation between ANP levels and right atrial pressures or serum sodium concentrations. We conclude that the chronic elevation of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure is required to produce an increase in ANP after myocardial infarction which results in chronic heart failure.

Plasma endothelin-1 concentrations in the coronary sinus in dogs with artificially induced myocardial infarction.

We have previously reported the marked increase in plasma levels of endothelin-1 in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). To investigate the effects of severe myocardial ischemia on the production of endothelin-1, plasma concentrations of endothelin-1 were measured by a sandwich-type enzyme immunoassay that we developed recently in both the coronary sinus and the aorta of dogs with artificially induced AMI. Dogs were anesthetized and chests were opened. The proximal left anterior descending coronary artery was completely occluded by ligation for 1 h and then was reperfused for 1 h. Throughout the experiment (at the end of occlusion for 1 h, at the beginning of reperfusion, at the end of reperfusion for 1 h), plasma endothelin-1 levels were not significantly altered either in the coronary sinus or in the aorta. The present findings indicate that severe myocardial ischemia itself does not affect the production of endothelin-1 in the coronary circulation of dogs.     

Correlation of Plasma Catestatin Level and the Prognosis of Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Catestatin is a peptide which is a potent inhibitor of catecholamine secretion and played essential functions in the cardiovascular system. Previous research found that dramatic changes of catestatin were associated with hemodynamics in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) during the first week after the AMI symptoms onset, but whether catestatin is also involved in the pathophysiological progression after AMI and then a predictor for outcomes is not clear. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation of plasma catestatin levels at different time points and the prognosis of AMI. 100 participants recruited were all patients with AMI, all of who received successful primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 12h from the AMI symptom onset in our center; the concentrations of plasma catestatin were evaluated from blood samples of those 100 participants. Subsequent 65 months'' follow-up was performed after discharging to evaluate cardiac adverse events and the association between catestatin levels and prognosis of AMI was examined. We confirmed the dramatic change of catestatin concentrations in the first week of AMI, and the levels of catestatin on D3 were much higher in adverse events group than those in non-adverse events group (p<0.0001), but the ratio of D7/D3 was significantly lower. In addition, the Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the groups in which the levels on D3 were higher (p<0.0001) and the ratios of D7/D3 were lower (p<0.0001), patients trended to be more susceptive to adverse events after AMI. Furthermore, according to the analysis, we surmised catestatin level on D3 as an appropriate predictor for outcomes in patients with AMI with good specificity as well as sensitivity. All of the evidence confirmed that catestatin plays an important role in the progress of AMI, and may act as a promising target for prognostic prediction.
