Abstract
The diagnosis of early acute myocardial infarction is of particular importance in forensic practice considering the frequency of sudden cardiac death and the difficulty of positively identifying it through classical histological methods if survival is less than 6 h. This article aims to analyze potential immunohistochemical markers that could be useful in diagnosing acute myocardial infarction within the first 6 h of its onset. We conducted an extensive evaluation of the literature according to the PRISMA guidelines for reporting systematic literature reviews. We searched the Web of Science and PubMed databases from their inception to 2023 using the following keywords: "myocardial infarction" and "immunohistochemistry". Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Immunohistochemical markers as complement factors and CD59, myoglobin, fibrinogen, desmin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), P-38, JNK (Jun N Terminal Kinase), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1), cardiac troponins, fibronectin, H-FABP (heart fatty acid binding protein), dityrosine, fibronectin, CD15, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-15, IL-8, MCP-1, ICAM-1, CD18, and tryptase can be used to identify the first six hours of acute myocardial infarction. These markers are mostly studied in experimental animal models. It is necessary to conduct extensive studies on human myocardial tissue fragments, which will involve the analysis of several immunohistochemical markers and careful analysis of the available data on perimortem events, resuscitation, and postmortem intervals in the context of a uniform laboratory methodology.

Myocardial SERCA2 Protects Against Cardiac Damage and Dysfunction Caused by Inhaled Bromine. J Pharmacol Exp Ther 2024; 390:146-158. [PMID: 38772719 PMCID: PMC11192580 DOI: 10.1124/jpet.123.002084] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Myocardial sarcoendoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2 (SERCA2) activity is critical for heart function. We have demonstrated that inhaled halogen (chlorine or bromine) gases inactivate SERCA2, impair calcium homeostasis, increase proteolysis, and damage the myocardium ultimately leading to cardiac dysfunction. To further elucidate the mechanistic role of SERCA2 in halogen-induced myocardial damage, we used bromine-exposed cardiac-specific SERCA2 knockout (KO) mice [tamoxifen-administered SERCA2 (flox/flox) Tg (αMHC-MerCreMer) mice] and compared them to the oil-administered controls. We performed echocardiography and hemodynamic analysis to investigate cardiac function 24 hours after bromine (600 ppm for 30 minutes) exposure and measured cardiac injury markers in plasma and proteolytic activity in cardiac tissue and performed electron microscopy of the left ventricle (LV). Cardiac-specific SERCA2 knockout mice demonstrated enhanced toxicity to bromine. Bromine exposure increased ultrastructural damage, perturbed LV shape geometry, and demonstrated acutely increased phosphorylation of phospholamban in the KO mice. Bromine-exposed KO mice revealed significantly enhanced mean arterial pressure and sphericity index and decreased LV end diastolic diameter and LV end systolic pressure when compared with the bromine-exposed control FF mice. Strain analysis showed loss of synchronicity, evidenced by an irregular endocardial shape in systole and irregular vector orientation of contractile motion across different segments of the LV in KO mice, both at baseline and after bromine exposure. These studies underscore the critical role of myocardial SERCA2 in preserving cardiac ultrastructure and function during toxic halogen gas exposures. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Due to their increased industrial production and transportation, halogens such as chlorine and bromine pose an enhanced risk of exposure to the public. Our studies have demonstrated that inhalation of these halogens leads to the inactivation of cardiopulmonary SERCA2 and results in calcium overload. Using cardiac-specific SERCA2 KO mice, these studies further validated the role of SERCA2 in bromine-induced myocardial injury. These studies highlight the increased susceptibility of individuals with pathological loss of cardiac SERCA2 to the effects of bromine.

Open- vs. closed-chest pig models of donation after circulatory death. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1325160.

Abstract
Background During donation after circulatory death (DCD), cardiac grafts are exposed to potentially damaging conditions that can impact their quality and post-transplantation outcomes. In a clinical DCD setting, patients have closed chests in most cases, while many experimental models have used open-chest conditions. We therefore aimed to investigate and characterize differences in open- vs. closed-chest porcine models. Methods Withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy (WLST) was simulated in anesthetized juvenile male pigs by stopping mechanical ventilation following the administration of a neuromuscular block. Functional warm ischemic time (fWIT) was defined to start when systolic arterial pressure was <50 mmHg. Hemodynamic changes and blood chemistry were analyzed. Two experimental groups were compared: (i) an open-chest group with sternotomy prior to WLST and (ii) a closed-chest group with sternotomy after fWIT. Results Hemodynamic changes during the progression from WLST to fWIT were initiated by a rapid decline in blood oxygen saturation and a subsequent cardiovascular hyperdynamic (HD) period characterized by temporary elevations in heart rates and arterial pressures in both groups. Subsequently, heart rate and systolic arterial pressure decreased until fWIT was reached. Pigs in the open-chest group displayed a more rapid transition to the HD phase after WLST, with peak heart rate and peak rate-pressure product occurring significantly earlier. Furthermore, the HD phase duration tended to be shorter and less intense (lower peak rate-pressure product) in the open-chest group than in the closed-chest group. Discussion Progression from WLST to fWIT was more rapid, and the hemodynamic changes tended to be less pronounced in the open-chest group than in the closed-chest group. Our findings support clear differences between open- and closed-chest models of DCD. Therefore, recommendations for clinical DCD protocols based on findings in open-chest models must be interpreted with care.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the most severe cardiovascular event in clinical settings, imposes a significant burden with its annual increase in morbidity and mortality rates. However, it is noteworthy that mortality due to AMI in developed countries has experienced a decline, largely attributable to the advancements in medical interventions such as percutaneous coronary intervention. This trend highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to preserve the myocardium at risk and improve patient outcomes. Conventional biomarkers such as myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzymes, and troponin have been instrumental in the diagnosis of AMI. However, recent years have witnessed the emergence of new biomarkers demonstrating the potential to further enhance the accuracy of AMI diagnosis. This literature review focuses on the recent advancements in biomarker research in the context of AMI diagnosis.

Abstract
In this work, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) quenching system using multimetal-organic frameworks (MMOFs) was proposed for the sensitive and specific detection of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), a marker of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Bimetallic MOFs containing Ru and Mn as metal centers were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method, yielding RuMn MOFs as the ECL emitter. The RuMn MOFs not only possessed the strong ECL performance of Ru(bpy)32+ but also maintained high porosity and original metal active sites characteristic of MOFs. Moreover, under the synergistic effect of MOFs and Ru(bpy)32+, RuMn MOFs have more efficient and stable ECL emission. The trimetal-based MOF (FePtRh MOF) was used as the ECL quencher because of the electron transfer between FePtRh MOFs and RuMn MOFs. In addition, active intramolecular electron transfer from Pt to Fe or Rh atoms also occurred in FePtRh MOFs, which could promote intermolecular electron transfer and improve electron transfer efficiency to enhance the quenching efficiency. The proposed ECL immunosensor demonstrated a wide dynamic range and a low detection limit of 0.01-100 ng mL-1 and 6.8 pg mL-1, respectively, under optimal conditions. The ECL quenching system also presented good specificity, stability, and reproducibility. Therefore, an alternative method for H-FABP detection in clinical diagnosis was provided by this study, highlighting the potential of MMOFs in advancing ECL technology.

Tetrandrine downregulates TRPV2 expression to ameliorate myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats via regulation of cardiomyocyte apoptosis, calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial function. Eur J Pharmacol 2024; 964:176246.

Abstract
Our previous study has indicated that tetrandrine (TET) can target miR-202-5p to repress the activation of transient receptor potential vanilloid type 2 (TRPV2), eventually ameliorating the progression of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI). This study is aimed to further ascertain the detailed mechanisms between TET and TRPV2 in MI/RI pathogenesis. Here, a myocardial I/R injury rat model and a hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R) model in rat myocardial cell line (H9C2 cells) were established. We reported that pronounced upregulation of TRPV2 was observed in I/R rats and H/R-induced H9C2 cells. Silencing of TRPV2 could improve cardiac function and myocardial injury, reduced infarction size, and promoted cardiomyocyte proliferation in I/R rats. In I/R rats or H/R-induced H9C2 cells, cardiomyocyte apoptosis was inhibited by knocking-down TRPV2. Meanwhile, the silenced TRPV2 or TET treatment ameliorated the damaged mitochondrial structure, mitigated ROS generation, restored the impaired ΔΨM, inhibited mPTP opening and alleviated Ca2+ overload in H/R-induced H9C2 cells. The results obtained from the overexpression of TRPV2 were contrary to those depicted above. Moreover, TET could downregulate TRPV2 expression, while the overexpression of TRPV2 could reverse the above protective effects of TET in H/R-induced H9C2 cells. The results indicated that TET may function as a TRPV2 blocking agent, thereby attenuating the progression of MI/RI through modulation of cardiomyocyte apoptosis, calcium homeostasis and mitochondrial function. These findings offer a theoretical foundation for potential clinical application of TET therapy in patients with MI/RI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular and their associated disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death worldwide, in developed and developing countries, and its prevalence has increased over the past few decades, due to changes in the lifestyle of people. Biomarkers are important tools for diagnosing, analyzing, and providing evidence of pathological conditions of CVD and their associated diseases. METHODS This study reviews historical cardiovascular biomarkers used to diagnose various diseases, their uses, and limitations, as well as the importance of new and emerging biomarkers. CONCLUSION sST2, GDF-15, CD-40, IL-6, and Micro-RNA. Initial studies of the future of cardiac biomarkers are promising, but more research is needed to demonstrate that they are more effective biomarkers of risk factors for CVD development. They also lack the analytical foundation needed for adoption in the medical industry. It is also necessary to determine whether these biomarkers can be used for diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular Disease is the leading cause of death in adult and pediatric patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and its pathogenesis involves the interaction of multiple pathways. As Inflammatory mechanisms play a critical role in the vascular disease of CKD pediatric patients, there are several biomarkers related to inflammation strongly associated with this comorbidity. OBJECTIVE This review provides available evidence on the link between several biomarkers and the pathophysiology of heart disease in patients with CKD. METHODS The data were obtained independently by the authors, who carried out a comprehensive and non-systematic search in PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, and SciELO databases.

CONCLUSION The pathogenesis of CKD-mediated cardiovascular disease is not completely understood, but it is linked to inflammatory biomarkers. Further studies are required to elucidate the pathophysiological and potential role of these novel biomarkers.

Colom G, Hernandez-Albors A, Barallat J, Galan A, Bayes-Genis A, Salvador JP, Marco MP. A multiplexed immunochemical microarray for the determination of cardiovascular disease biomarkers. Mikrochim Acta 2023; 191:53. [PMID: 38151630 PMCID: PMC10752916 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-023-06119-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/29/2023]
Abstract
A fluorescence antibody microarray has been developed for the determination of relevant cardiovascular disease biomarkers for the analysis of human plasma samples. Recording characteristic protein molecular fingerprints to assess individual's states of health could allow diagnosis to go beyond the simple identification of the disease, providing information on its stage or prognosis. Precisely, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are complex disorders which involve different degenerative processes encompassing a collection of biomarkers related to disease progression or stage. The novel approach that we propose is a fluorescent microarray chip has been developed accomplishing simultaneous determination of the most significant cardiac biomarkers in plasma aiming to determine the CVD status stage of the patient. As proof of concept, we have chosen five relevant biomarkers, C-reactive protein (CRP) as biomarker of inflammation, cystatin C (CysC) as biomarker of renal failure that is directly related with heart failure, cardiac troponin I (cTnI) as already established biomarker for cardiac damage, heart fatty acid binding protein as biomarker of ischemia (H-FABP), and finally, NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide), a well-established heart failure biomarker. After the optimization of the multiplexed microarray, the assay allowed the simultaneous determination of 5 biomarkers in a buffer solution reaching LODs of 15 ± 5, 3 ± 1, 24 ± 3, 25 ± 3, and 3 ± 1 ng mL-1, for CRP, CysC, H-FABP, cTnI, and NT-proBNP, respectively. After solving the matrix effect, and demonstrating the accuracy for each biomarker, the chip was able to determine 24 samples per microarray chip. Then, the microarray has been used on a small pilot clinical study with 29 plasma samples from clinical patients which suffered different CVD and other related disorders. Results show the superior capability of the chip to provide clinical information related to the disease in terms of turnaround time (1 h 30 min total assay and measurement) and amount of information delivered in respect to reference technologies used in hospital laboratories (clinical analyzers). Despite the failure to detect c-TnI at the reported threshold, the microarray technology could be a powerful approach to diagnose the cardiovascular disease at early stage, monitor its progress, and eventually providing information about an eminent potential risk of suffering a myocardial infarction. The microarray chip here reported could be the starting point for achieving powerful multiplexed diagnostic technologies for the diagnosis of CVDs or any other pathology for which biomarkers have been identified at different stages of the disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Human heart-type fatty acid binding protein (HFABP) is a biomarker for diagnosis, risk assessment, and prognosis of acute myocardial infarction, and we aimed to establish an immunoassay for HFABP quantitation. METHODS Human HFABP monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) were developed, evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and a chemiluminescence enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) generated. Analytical performance of the CLEIA was evaluated by measuring serum HFABP. RESULTS The prokaryotically expressed rHFABP was purified and four anti-HFABP mAbs with superior detection performance were obtained after immunizing BALB/c mice. MAbs 2B8 and 6B3 were selected as respective capture and detection antibodies for HFABP measurement by CLEIA (detection range, 0.01-128 μg/L). Results using the CLEIA showed excellent correlation (r, 0.9622) and the correlation coefficient was 0.9809 (P < 0.05) by the Tukey test statistical analysis with those of latex-enhanced immunoturbidimetry in hospitals. CONCLUSION Our mAbs and CLEIA for HFABP detection represent new diagnostic tools for measurement of human serum HFABP.

Abstract
Elevation of cardiac damage biomarkers is associated with adverse clinical outcomes and increased mortality in COVID-19 patients. This study assessed the association of admission serum levels of sST2 and H-FABP with in-hospital mortality in 191 geriatric patients (median age 86 yrs., IQR 82-91 yrs.) with COVID-19 and available measures of hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP at admission. Cox proportional hazards models were utilized to predict in-hospital mortality, considering clinical/biochemical confounders as covariates. A composite cardiac score was calculated to improve predictive accuracy. Patients deceased during their hospital stay (26%) exhibited higher levels of all biomarkers, which demonstrated good discrimination for in-hospital mortality. Addition of sST2 and H-FABP significantly improved the discriminatory power of hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP. The composite cardiac score (AUC=0.866) further enhanced the predictive accuracy. Crude and adjusted Cox regressions models revealed that both sST2 and H-FABP were independently associated with in-hospital mortality (HR for sST2 ≥129 ng/mL, 4.32 [1.48-12.59]; HR for H-FABP ≥18 ng/mL, 7.70 [2.12-28.01]). The composite cardiac score also independently correlated with in-hospital mortality (HR for 1-unit increase, 1.47 [1.14-1.90]). In older patients with COVID-19, sST2 and H-FABP demonstrated prognostic value, improving the predictive accuracy of the routinely assessed biomarkers hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP.

Abstract
Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a well-established prodromal stage of dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's disease) that is often accompanied by early signs of neurodegeneration. To facilitate a better characterization of the underlying pathophysiology, we assessed the available literature to evaluate potential fluid biomarkers in MCI. Peer-reviewed articles that measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or peripheral biomarkers of neuronal injury (total-tau [T-tau], neurofilament light chain [NfL], heart-type fatty acid binding protein [HFABP], neuron-specific enolase, ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase L1) and/or astroglial pathology (glial fibrillary acidic protein [GFAP], S100 calcium-binding protein B) in MCI and healthy controls were assessed. Group differences were summarized by standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals calculated using a random-effects model. Heterogeneity was quantified using I2. A total of 107 studies were included in the meta-analysis and 10 studies were qualitatively reviewed. In CSF, concentrations of NfL (SMD = 0.69 [0.56, 0.83]), GFAP (SMD = 0.41 [0.07, 0.75]), and HFABP (SMD = 0.57 [0.26, 0.89]) were elevated in MCI. In blood, increased concentrations of T-tau (SMD = 0.19 [0.09, 0.29]), NfL (SMD = 0.41 [0.32, 0.49]), and GFAP (SMD = 0.39 [0.23, 0.55]) were found in MCI. Heterogeneity that was identified in all comparisons was explored using meta-regression and subgroup analysis. Elevated NfL and GFAP can be detected in both CSF and peripheral blood. Monitoring these biomarkers in clinical settings may provide important insight into underlying neurodegenerative processes in MCI.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the value of cardiac troponin(cTn), myoglobin(Myo) combined with heart-type fatty acid-binding protein(H-FABP) detection in the diagnosis of early acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Methods This study was a clinical comparative study. Eighty patients with AMI hospitalized in Tangshan Workers' Hospital were selected as study group, and another 80 individuals receiving normal physical examination were selected as control group from September 20, 2021 to September 20, 2022. The concentrations of cTn, Myo and H-FABPP, diagnostic indicators, the sensitivity and specificity of combined diagnosis, as well as the diagnostic efficacy for AMI were compared between the two groups. Results The levels of cTn, Myo and H-FABPP in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P= 0.00). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that cTn, Myo and H-FABP were all relevant indicators for AMI. H-FABP alone has better diagnostic efficacy for AMI. The area under the curve of their combined detection, the specificity, and the sensitivity were higher than those of cTn, Myo and H-FABP alone, indicating that their combined application has the best diagnostic efficiency. cTn, Myo and H-FABP levels were positively correlated with Glu, TC, LDL-C and hs-CRP levels(P< 0.01), while negatively correlated with HDL level(P< 0.01). Conclusions The combined detection of cardiac markers such as cTn, Myo and H-FABP presents higher sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of AMI compared with any single detection, and can provide better data support for the definite diagnosis of AMI, with high clinical application value.

Abstract
Liver cirrhosis is an increasing public health problem and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Accordingly, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, a frequently underdiagnosed condition, is becoming a growing health problem. In the last 20 years, cardioselective biomarkers have been investigated for their diagnostic and prognostic properties for numerous conditions. The aim of this article is to review the literature on the relationship between the most commonly used cardioselective biomarkers (cardiac troponins I and T, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, brain natriuretic peptide, and heart-type fatty-acid binding protein) and the presence, functional stage, and clinical outcomes of liver cirrhosis. Elevated plasma levels of these biomarkers have been reported in patients with liver cirrhosis, and there is mounting evidence on their predictive value for clinical outcomes in this disease. In addition, elevated plasma levels of these biomarkers have been reported in patients before, during, and after liver transplantation, but in fewer studies. Due to their predictive value for clinical outcomes, we advocate the use of these markers in patients with liver cirrhosis and cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, as well as in candidates for liver transplant.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate heart-fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) leakage from cardiomyocytes as a quantitative measure of cell membrane damage and to test healing by Resolvin E1 (RVE1) as a potential therapeutic for patients with inflammatory diseases (cardiovascular disease and comorbidities) with high morbidity and mortality. Our quantitative ELISA assays demonstrated H-FABP as a sensitive and reliable biomarker for measuring cardiomyocyte damage induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and healing by RvE1, a specialized pro-resolving mediator (SPM) derived from the Omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a dietary nutrient that balances inflammation to restore homeostasis. RvE1 reduced leakage of H-FABP by up to 86%, which supports our hypothesis that inflammation as a mechanism of injury can be targeted for therapy. H-FABP as a blood biomarker was tested in 40 patients admitted to Boston Medical Center for respiratory distress, (20 patients with and 20 patients without COVID infection). High levels of H-FABP correlated with clinically diagnosed CVD, diabetes, and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in both patient groups. The level of H-FABP indicates not only CVD damage but is a valuable measure for patients with increased inflammation disease comorbidities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Menin is a scaffold protein encoded by the Men1 gene, which interacts with various transcriptional proteins to activate or repress cellular processes and is a key mediator in multiple organs. Both liver-specific and hepatocyte-specific Menin deficiency promotes high-fat diet-induced liver steatosis in mice, as well as insulin resistance and type 2 diabetic phenotype. The potential link between Menin and hepatic metabolism homeostasis may provide new insights into the mechanism of fatty liver disease. RESULTS Disturbance of hepatic Menin expression impacts metabolic pathways associated with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), including the FoxO signaling pathway, which is similar to that observed in both oleic acid-induced fatty hepatocytes model and biopsied fatty liver tissues, but with elevated hepatic Menin expression and inhibited FABP1. Higher levels of Menin facilitate glucose uptake while restraining fatty acid uptake. Menin targets the expression of FABP3/4/5 and also CD36 or GK, PCK by binding to their promoter regions, while recruiting and deploying the cellular localization of PPARγ and SIRT1 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Accordingly, Menin binds to PPARγ and/or FoxO1 in hepatocytes, and orchestrates hepatic glucose and fatty acid uptake by recruiting SIRT1. CONCLUSION Menin plays an orchestration role as a transcriptional activator and/or repressor to target downstream gene expression levels involved in hepatic energy uptake by interacting with the cellular energy sensor SIRT1, PPARγ, and/or FoxO1 and deploying their translocations between the cytoplasm and nucleus, thereby maintaining metabolic homeostasis. These findings provide more evidence suggesting Menin could be targeted for the treatment of hepatic steatosis, NAFLD or metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and even other hepatic diseases.

Abstract
A sensitive electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of the heart-type fatty acid binding protein (HFABP), an earlier biomarker for acute myocardial infarction than Troponins, is described. The sensing platform was enhanced with methylene blue (MB) redox coupled to carbon nanotubes (CNT) assembled on a polymer film of polythionine (PTh). For this strategy, monomers of thionine rich in amine groups were electrosynthesized by cyclic voltammetry on the immunosensor's gold surface, forming an electroactive film with excellent electron transfer capacity. Stepwise sensor surface preparation was electrochemically characterized at each step and scanning electronic microscopy was carried out showing all the preparation steps. The assembled sensor platform combines MB and PTh in a synergism, allowing sensitive detection of the H-FABP in a linear response from 3.0 to 25.0 ng∙mL-1 with a limit of detection of 1.47 ng∙mL-1 HFABP that is similar to the clinical level range for diagnostics. H-FABP is a newer powerful biomarker for distinguishing between unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract
The heart is one of the major organs affected by microwave radiation, and these effects have been extensively studied. Previous studies have shown that microwave-radiation-induced heart injury might be related to the abnormal expression and distribution of Cx43. In order to make the research model closer to humans, we used iPSC-CMs as the cell injury model to investigate the biological effect and mechanism of iPSC-CM injury after microwave radiation. To model the damage, iPSC-CMs were separated into four groups and exposed to single or composite S-band (2.856 GHz) and X-band (9.375 GHz) microwave radiation sources with an average power density of 30 mW/cm2. After that, FCM was used to detect cell activity, and ELISA was used to detect the contents of myocardial enzymes and injury markers in the culture medium, and it was discovered that cell activity decreased and the contents increased after radiation. TEM and SEM showed that the ultrastructure of the cell membrane, mitochondria, and ID was damaged. Mitochondrial function was aberrant, and glycolytic capacity decreased after exposure. The electrical conduction function of iPSC-CM was abnormal; the conduction velocity was decreased, and the pulsation amplitude was reduced. Wb, qRT-PCR, and IF detections showed that the expression of Cx43 was decreased and the distribution of Cx43 at the gap junction was disordered. Single or composite exposure to S- and X-band microwave radiation caused damage to the structure and function of iPSC-CMs, primarily affecting the cell membrane, mitochondria, and ID. The composite exposure group was more severely harmed than the single exposure group. These abnormalities in structure and function were related to the decreased expression and disordered distribution of Cx43.

Abstract
Increased vulnerability to physiologic stressors, termed frailty, is a common occurrence in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, the definite biomarkers to assess frailty in CHF patients are not known. Here, we assessed the frailty phenotype and its potential association with heart failure (HF) markers in CHF patients. We categorized controls (n = 59) and CHF patients (n = 80), the participants, into robust, pre-frail, and frail based on the cardiovascular health study (CHS) frailty index. The plasma levels of HF markers, including tumorigenicity 2 (s-ST2), galectin-3, and heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), were measured and correlated with frailty phenotype and cardiac function. The levels of plasma s-ST2, galectin-3, and H-FABP were profoundly elevated in CHF patients. Conversely, the frailty index scores were significantly lower in ischemic and non-ischemic CHF patients versus controls. Of the assessed HF markers, only H-FABP was positively correlated (r2 = 0.07, P = 0.02) with the frailty score in CHF patients. Collectively, these observations suggest that circulating H-FABP may serve as a biomarker of frailty in CHF patients.

Abstract
The activity of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) can be inhibited by miR-17-3p, which results in attenuating myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI), however, the mechanism behind this phenomenon is still elusive. Suppression of PTEN leads to augmented protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling strength and constrained autophagy activation, which might be the one mechanism for the ameliorated myocardial IRI. Thus, we tested the hypothesis that miR-17-3p attenuated hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R)-mediated damage in cardiomyocytes by downregulating excessive autophagy via the PTEN-Akt-mTOR axis. The expression of miR-17-3p was remarkably increased after H/R treatment (6-h hypoxia followed by 6-h reoxygenation; H6/R6), which was concomitant with the increase of the release of lactic acid dehydrogenase (cell injury marker) and the enhancement LC3II/I ratio (autophagy markers) in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. Ectoexpression of miR-17-3p agomir led to remarkable augmentation of miR-17-3p expression and evidently attenuated H/R-mediated cell damage and excessive autophagy. Furthermore, an increase in miR-17-3p expression elicited constrained phosphorylation of PTEN (Ser380 ) while enhanced the phosphorylation of Akt (Thr308 , Ser473 ) and mTOR (Ser536 ) after H/R stimulation. In addition, pretreatment with LY-294002 (an Akt selective inhibitor) and rapamycin (an mTOR selective inhibitor) significantly abrogated the protective function of miR-17-3p on H/R-mediated cell damage and autophagy in H9C2 cardiomyocytes. Taken together, these observations indicated that the enhancement of the PTEN/Akt/mTOR axis and the consequent suppression of autophagy overactivation might represent an underlying mechanism by which miR-17-3p attenuated H/R-mediated damage in H9C2 cells.

Fatty Acid Binding Proteins 3 and 4 Predict Both All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Subjects with Chronic Heart Failure and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Antioxidants (Basel) 2023; 12:antiox12030645.

Abstract
Subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) are at increased risk for heart failure (HF). The cardiac-specific (FABP3) and adipose-tissue-specific (FABP4) types of the fatty acid binding proteins have been associated with both all-cause and cardiovascular (CV) mortality. The aim of this study was to explore the prognosis value of FABP3 and FABP4 in ambulatory subjects with chronic HF (CHF), with and without T2D. A prospective study involving 240 ambulatory CHF subjects was performed. Patients were followed-up for a mean of 5.78 ± 3.30 years and cause of death (if any) was recorded. Primary endpoints were defined as all-cause and CV death, and a composite endpoint that included CV death or hospitalization for HF was included as a secondary endpoint. Baseline serum samples were obtained and the serum FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations were assessed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Survival analysis was performed with multivariable Cox regressions, using Fine and Gray competing risks models when needed, to explore the prognostic value of FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations, adjusting for potential confounders. Type 2 diabetes mellitus was highly prevalent, accounting for 47.5% for total subjects with CHF. Subjects with T2D showed higher mortality rates (T2D: 69.30%; non-T2D: 50.79%, p = 0.004) and higher serum FABP3 (1829.3 (1104.9–3440.5) pg/mL vs. 1396.05 (820.3–2362.16) pg/mL, p = 0.007) and FABP4 (45.5 (27.6–79.8) ng/mL vs. 34.1 (24.09–55.3) ng/mL, p = 0.006) concentrations compared with non-T2D CHF subjects. In the whole study cohort, FABP3 was independently associated with all-cause death, and both FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations were associated with CV mortality. The predictive values of these two molecules for all-cause (FABP3: HR 1.25, 95% CI 1.09–1.44; p = 0.002. FABP4: HR 2.21, 95% CI 1.12–4.36; p = 0.023) and CV mortality (FABP3: HR 1.28, 95% CI 1.09–1.50; p = 0.002. FABP4: HR 4.19, 95% CI 2.21–7.95; p < 0.001) were only statistically significant in the subgroup of subjects with T2D. Notably, FABP4 (HR 2.07, 95% CI 1.11–3.87; p = 0.022), but not FABP3, also predicted the occurrence of the composite endpoint (death or hospitalization for HF) only in subjects with T2D. All these associations were not found in CHF subjects without T2D. Our findings support the usefulness of serum FABP3 and FABP4 concentrations as independent predictors for the occurrence of all-cause and CV mortality in ambulatory subjects with CHF with T2D.

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is often associated with compromised physical capacity in patients. However, it is unclear if established HF markers correlate with the physical performance of patients with congestive HF (CHF). We assessed the left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESD) and ejection fraction (LVEF) and, physical performance parameters, including short physical performance battery (SPPB), gait speed (GS), and handgrip strength (HGS) in 80 patients with CHF along with 59 healthy controls. Furthermore, levels of plasma HF markers galectin-3 and heart-specific fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) were measured in relation to the severity of HF and physical performance. Irrespective of etiology, significantly greater LVESD and lower LVEF were observed in HF patients versus controls. As expected, the levels of HF markers galectin-3 and H-FABP were upregulated in the CHF patients which were accompanied by significantly elevated levels of plasma zonulin and inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP). The SPPB scores, GS, and HGS were significantly lower in the ischemic and non-ischemic HF patients than controls. The level of galectin-3 was inversely correlated with SPPB scores (r2 = 0.089, P = 0.01) and HGS (r2 = 0.078, P = 0.01). Similarly, H-FABP levels were also inversely correlated with SPPB scores (r2 = 0.06, P = 0.03) and HGS (r2 = 0.109, P = 0.004) in the patients with CHF. Taken together, CHF adversely affects physical performance, and galectin-3 and H-FABP may serve as biomarkers of physical disability in patients with CHF. The robust correlations of galectin-3 and H-FABP with the physical performance parameters and CRP in CHF patients suggest that the poor physical performance may partly be caused due to systemic inflammation.

Abstract
CuInS2 quantum dots (CIS QDs) are considered to be promising alternatives for Cd-based QDs in the fields of biology and medicine. However, high-quality hydrophobic CIS QDs are difficult to be transferred to water due to their 1-dodecylmercaptan (DDT) ligands. Therefore, the fluorescence and stability of the prepared aqueous CIS QDs is not enough to meet the requirement for sensitive detection. Here, as large as 13 nm CuInZnS/ZnS QDs with DDT ligands were first synthesized, and then, CuInZnS/ZnS microbeads (QBs) containing thousands of QDs were successfully fabricated by a two-step approach of emulsion-solvent evaporation and surfactant substitution. Through emulsion-solvent evaporation, the CuInZnS/ZnS QDs formed microbeads in the microemulsion with dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide (DTAB), and the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been effectively overcome. Then, CO-520 was introduced to substitute DTAB to improve the stability and water solubility. Lastly, the microbeads were coated with a SiO2 shell and carboxylated. Subsequently, the constructed QBs (∼210 nm) were used as labels in a fluorescence immunosorbent assay (FLISA) for quantitative detection of heart type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), and the limit of detection was 0.48 ng mL-1, which indicated a greatly improved detection sensitivity compared to that of the Cd-free QDs. The highly fluorescent and stable CuInZnS/ZnS QBs will have great application prospects in many biological fields.

AIM To study the applicability of the old, available and affordable nonconventional biomarkers: albumin and fibrinogen in their ability to predict angiographic severity and clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
METHODS In this prospective, observational study, 166 consecutive patients with ACS were enrolled. Fibrinogen, albumin and their ratio were determined from serum. Patients with underlying chronic liver disease, active malignancy, autoimmune disease, active COVID-19 infection and undergoing thrombolysis were excluded.
RESULTS Mean age of the population was 60.5 ± 1.5 years, 74.1% being males. ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was most common presentation of ACS seen in 57% patients. Fibrinogen albumin ratio (FAR) ≥ 19.2, had a sensitivity of 76.9% and specificity of 78.9 % [area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROC) = 0.8, P = 0.001] to predict ≤ thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) 1 flow in culprit artery in STEMI patients. Even in non-STEMI patients, FAR ≥ 18.85 predicted the same with 80% sensitivity and 63% specificity (AUROC = 0.715, P = 0.006).
CONCLUSION Novel biomarkers, with their high cost, lack of availability and long turn over time are impractical for real-world use. Identifying ≤ TIMI 1 flow in the culprit artery has significant impact of management and outcome. Our study has shown that readily available biomarkers like fibrinogen and albumin can help identify these high-risk patients with good accuracy. This allows risk-stratification and individualization of treatment in ACS.

Predictive value of cord blood myocardial enzyme and troponin levels for myocardial injury after neonatal asphyxia. Am J Transl Res 2023; 15:241-248. [PMID: 36777838 PMCID: PMC9908482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/05/2022] [Indexed: 02/14/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSES To assess the value of myocardial enzymes and troponins in cord blood in the early diagnosis of myocardial injury after neonatal asphyxia. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 50 cases of perinatal asphyxia neonates and 40 normal newborns in this study. The clinical manifestation, electrocardiograph (ECG) and echocardiography result, and the cord blood myocardial enzyme and troponin levels were compared between the two groups. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to explore the diagnostic value of cord blood myocardial enzymes and troponins for myocardial injury after neonatal asphyxia. RESULTS All cases in the asphyxia group had different degrees of clinical manifestations of myocardial injury, as well as ECG and echocardiography abnormalities. Compared with the control group, cord blood aspartate aminotransferase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK), creatine kinase isoenzyme MB (CK-MB), cardiac troponin T (cTNT), and cardiac troponin I (cTNI) levels in the asphyxia group were all elevated (all P < 0.05). Levels of the six biomarkers were all significantly higher in asphyxiated newborns with myocardial injury than in asphyxiated newborns without myocardial injury (all P < 0.05). ROC curve analyses showed that cord blood levels of CK-MB, cTNT, and cTNI could be used to differentiate asphyxiated newborn with and without myocardial damage. Calculation of AUC (area under curve) values indicated that CK-MB, cTNT, and cTNI had significant discriminatory ability (P=0.014, 0.021, and 0.009, respectively). The optimal cutoff value of CK-MB, cTNT, and cTNI were 135.4 U/L, 112.6 ng/L, and 55.3 ng/L, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Cord blood CK-MB, cTNT, and cTNI levels could be used for early prediction of myocardial injury after neonatal asphyxia.

Abstract
Canine babesiosis is a tick-borne disease caused by Babesia canis, with acute kidney injury as one of the common complications. In the study 8 healthy control dogs and 22 dogs with naturally occurring babesiosis were enrolled, with the aim to analyse differences in serum and urinary proteomes between healthy dogs and dogs with different degree of renal dysfunction in babesiosis using a label-based high-throughput quantitative proteomic approach. In serum, 58 proteins were found differentially abundant between healthy controls and groups of dogs with different degrees of renal dysfunction in babesiosis, while in urine there were 259 differentially abundant proteins. In addition, altered biological pathways were detected in the diseased dogs using bioinformatics tools and validation of several candidate biomarkers was performed. SIGNIFICANCE: The main aim of this comprehensive study was to perform analyses of serum and urinary proteomes of dogs with renal dysfunction in babesiosis compared to healthy dogs using, for the first time, a high-throughput proteomic method and functional enrichment analyses. Serum and urine samples of the same dogs were investigated in order to gain a more complete picture of pathologic changes taking place in renal dysfunction in babesiosis. We highlighted two putative biomarkers validated herein which could be of importance for early diagnosis of renal dysfunction in canine babesiosis, as they are easily accessible from urine and their concentration rises before the appearance of azotaemia: urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) and urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP).

A Story of PA/BSA and Biomarkers to Diagnose Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients with Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis-The Rise of IGF-BP2 and GDF-15. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2023; 10:jcdd10010022. [PMID: 36661917 PMCID: PMC9864369 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd10010022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/02/2023] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: Currently, echocardiography is the primary non-invasive diagnostic method used to screen patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) for pulmonary hypertension (PH) by estimating systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP). Other radiological methods have been a focus of research in the past couple of years, as it was shown that by determining the pulmonary artery (PA) diameter, prognostic statements concerning overall mortality could be made in these patients. This study compared established and novel cardiovascular biomarkers with the PA/BSA value to detect PH in patients with severe AS. (2) Methods: The study cohort comprised 188 patients with severe AS undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), who were then divided into two groups based on PA/BSA values obtained through CT-angiography. The presence of PH was defined as a PA/BSA ≥ 16.6 mm/m2 (n = 81), and absence as a PA/BSA < 16.6 mm/m2 (n = 107). Blood samples were taken before TAVR to assess cardiovascular biomarkers used in this study, namely brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), high-sensitive troponin (hsTN), soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2), growth/differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP), insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGF-BP2), and soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR). (3) Results: Patients with a PA/BSA ≥ 16.6 mm/m2 showed significantly higher levels of BNP (p = <0.001), GDF-15 (p = 0.040), and H-FABP (p = 0.007). The other investigated cardiovascular biomarkers did not significantly differ between the two groups. To predict a PA/BSA ≥ 16.6 mm/m2, cut-off values for the biomarkers were calculated. Here, GDF-15 (p = 0.029; cut-off 1172.0 pg/mL) and BNP (p < 0.001; cut-off 2194.0 pg/mL) showed significant results. Consequently, analyses of combined biomarkers were performed, which yielded IGF-BP2 + BNP (AUC = 0.721; 95%CI = 0.585−0.857; p = 0.004) as the best result of the two-way analyses and GDF-15 + IGF-BP2 + BNP (AUC = 0.727; 95%CI = 0.590−0.864; p = 0.004) as the best result of the three-way analyses. No significant difference regarding the 1-year survival between patients with PA/BSA < 16.6 mm/m2 and patients with PA/BSA ≥ 16.6 mm/m2 was found (log-rank test: p = 0.452). (4) Conclusions: Although PA/BSA aims to reduce the bias of the PA value caused by different body compositions and sizes, it is still a controversial parameter for diagnosing PH. Combining the parameter with different cardiovascular biomarkers did not lead to a significant increase in the diagnostic precision for detecting PH in patients with severe AS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the leading contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide, with a prevalence of nearly three million people, and more than one million deaths reported in the United States every year. Gasdermin D (GSDMD) is involved in the development of atherosclerosis as a key protein of proptosis. This study was designed to determine the potential relationship of GSDMD with AMI in Chinese patients. METHODS One hundred patients with AMI and 50 controls were consecutively enrolled in this prospective observational study. GSDMD expression levels and other clinical variables in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were measured upon admission to the hospital. All patients were followed up for 360 days, and the endpoint was considered the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). RESULTS GSDMD expression levels in the PBMCs of patients with AMI were significantly higher than those in the controls. Moreover, our analysis showed that GSDMD was an independent biomarker of AMI and had a promising diagnostic ability for it. Finally, the results suggested that high expression of GSDMD and diabetes increased the risk of MACE after AMI. CONCLUSIONS This study indicated that the GSDMD expression level in PBMCs was elevated in AMI patients and was closely associated with the pyroptosis of AMI.

Abstract
The work considers a combination of three enhancing approaches for immunochromatographic assay (ICA) and the integration of their impacts into changes of the limit of detection (LOD). Human fatty acid binding protein (FABP), an early biomarker of acute myocardial infarction, was the target analyte. Starting from the common ICA protocol with an LOD equal to 11.2 ng/mL, three approaches were realized: (1) replacement of spherical gold nanoparticles with gold nanoflowers having a branched surface (20-fold lowering the LOD); (2) enhanced labeling of immune complexes via nanoparticle aggregates (15-fold lowering); (3) in-situ growth of bound nanoparticles by reduction of gold salts (3-fold lowering). Single and combined implementations of these approaches have been studied. It has been shown that the LOD decrease for combined approaches is close to the multiplied contribution of each of them. The final LOD for FABP was 0.05 ng/mL, which is 220 times lower than the LOD for the common ICA protocol. The efficiency of the enhanced ICA with three combined approaches was confirmed by testing human serum samples for FABP presence and content. The development presents a new efficient technique for rapid sensitive detection of FABP for medical diagnostics. Moreover, the demonstrated multiple enhancements could be applied for various demanded analytes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate and detect the value of Copeptin, myocardial fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) and myocardial markers in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHOD A retrospective analysis was carried out in 153 patients with chest pain who came to Xianyang Hospital of Yan'an University from August 2019 to April 2022, of whom 87 patients were finally diagnosed with AMI. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI), Copeptin, and H-FABP levels were measured immediately at the patient's visit. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate and compare the value of Copeptin, H-FABP and cTnI in early diagnosis of AMI and their joint effect in improving the accuracy of early diagnosis of AMI. RESULTS (1) The levels of Copeptin, H-FABP and cTnI in AMI patients were evidently higher than those in non-AMI patients with chest pain. (2) The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of Copeptin were 82.89% and 64.37%, respectively. Those of cTnI were 78.95% and 64.37% respectively, and those of H-FABP were 85.53% and 75.86%, respectively. The AUC size under the ROC curve was H-FABP > hopeptin > cTnI. (3) Joint detection of Copeptin, H-FABP and cTnI was better than mono-detection in early diagnosis of AMI. CONCLUSION H-FABP has high accuracy in detecting early AMI, which is better than cTnI and Copeptin, but the joint detection of the three is of the highest value.

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease, including acute myocardial infarction (AMI), is a major global cause of mortality and morbidity. Specificity and sensitivity limit the utility of classic diagnostic biomarkers for AMI. Therefore, it is critical to identify novel biomarkers for its accurate diagnosis. Cumulative studies have demonstrated that circulating microRNAs (miRs) participate in the pathophysiological processes of AMI and are promising diagnostic biomarkers for the condition. This study aimed to ascertain the diagnostic accuracy of circulating miR-21-5p and miR-126 used as biomarkers in patients with AMI and infarct-related artery total occlusion (IR-ATO) or infarct-related blood-vessel recanalization (IR-BVR). Methods The expression of miR-21-5p and miR-126 was examined separately in 50 healthy subjects, 51 patients with IR-ATO AMI, and 49 patients with IR-BVR AMI using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results When compared with the control group, the IR-ATO AMI group exhibited increased miR-21-5p (p < 0.0001) and miR-126 (p < 0.0001), and the IR-BVR AMI group exhibited increased miR-21-5p (p < 0.0001). However, there was no significant difference in miR-126 between the IR-BVR AMI and the control groups. A Spearman's correlation coefficient showed a strong correlation was found between miR-21-5p, miR-126, cardiac troponin-I, and creatine kinase isoenzyme in all three groups, while a receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that miR-21-5p and miR-126 exhibited considerable diagnostic accuracy for IR-ATO AMI. Conclusion Circulating miR-21-5p and miR-126 may be promising prognostic biomarkers for patients with AMI and IR-ATO.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The activity, localization, and turnover of proteins within cells and plasma may contribute to physiologic changes during menopause and may influence disease occurrence. We examined cross-sectional differences and long-term changes in plasma proteins between premenopausal and naturally postmenopausal women. METHODS We used data from 4,508 (19% Black) women enrolled in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study. SOMAscan multiplexed aptamer technology was used to measure 4,697 plasma proteins. Linear regression models were used to compare differences in proteins at baseline (1993-1995) and 18-year change in proteins from baseline to 2011-2013. RESULTS At baseline, 472 women reported being premenopausal and 4,036 women reported being postmenopausal, with average ages of 52.3 and 61.4 years, respectively. A greater proportion of postmenopausal women had diabetes (15 vs 9%), used hypertension (38 vs 27%) and lipid-lowering medications (10 vs 3%), and had elevated total cholesterol and waist girth. In multivariable adjusted models, 38 proteins differed significantly between premenopausal and postmenopausal women at baseline, with 29 of the proteins also showing significantly different changes between groups over the 18-year follow-up as the premenopausal women also reached menopause. These proteins were associated with various molecular/cellular functions (cellular development, growth, proliferation and maintenance), physiological system development (skeletal and muscular system development, and cardiovascular system development and function), and diseases/disorders (hematological and metabolic diseases and developmental disorders). CONCLUSIONS We observed significantly different changes between premenopausal and postmenopausal women in several plasma proteins that reflect many biological processes. These processes may help to understand disease development during the postmenopausal period.

Predicting acute kidney injury risk in acute myocardial infarction patients: An artificial intelligence model using medical information mart for intensive care databases. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:964894. [PMID: 36158815 PMCID: PMC9489917 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.964894] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2022] [Accepted: 08/16/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Predictive models based on machine learning have been widely used in clinical practice. Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are prone to the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI), which results in a poor prognosis for the patient. The aim of this study was to develop a machine learning predictive model for the identification of AKI in AMI patients. Methods Patients with AMI who had been registered in the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) III and IV database were enrolled. The primary outcome was the occurrence of AKI during hospitalization. We developed Random Forests (RF) model, Naive Bayes (NB) model, Support Vector Machine (SVM) model, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (xGBoost) model, Decision Trees (DT) model, and Logistic Regression (LR) models with AMI patients in MIMIC-IV database. The importance ranking of all variables was obtained by the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) method. AMI patients in MIMIC-III databases were used for model evaluation. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to compare the performance of each model. Results A total of 3,882 subjects with AMI were enrolled through screening of the MIMIC database, of which 1,098 patients (28.2%) developed AKI. We randomly assigned 70% of the patients in the MIMIC-IV data to the training cohort, which is used to develop models in the training cohort. The remaining 30% is allocated to the testing cohort. Meanwhile, MIMIC-III patient data performs the external validation function of the model. 3,882 patients and 37 predictors were included in the analysis for model construction. The top 5 predictors were serum creatinine, activated partial prothrombin time, blood glucose concentration, platelets, and atrial fibrillation, (SHAP values are 0.670, 0.444, 0.398, 0.389, and 0.381, respectively). In the testing cohort, using top 20 important features, the models of RF, NB, SVM, xGBoost, DT model, and LR obtained AUC of 0.733, 0.739, 0.687, 0.689, 0.663, and 0.677, respectively. Placing RF models of number of different variables on the external validation cohort yielded their AUC of 0.711, 0.754, 0.778, 0.781, and 0.777, respectively. Conclusion Machine learning algorithms, particularly the random forest algorithm, have improved the accuracy of risk stratification for AKI in AMI patients and are applied to accurately identify the risk of AKI in AMI patients.

Abstract
Despite all the important advances in its diagnosis and treatment, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is still one of the most prominent causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Early identification of patients at high risk of poor outcomes through the measurement of various biomarker concentrations might contribute to more accurate risk stratification and help to guide more individualized therapeutic strategies, thus improving prognoses. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the role and applications of cardiac biomarkers in risk stratification and prognostic assessment for patients with myocardial infarction. Although there is no ideal biomarker that can provide prognostic information for risk assessment in patients with AMI, the results obtained in recent years are promising. Several novel biomarkers related to the pathophysiological processes found in patients with myocardial infarction, such as inflammation, neurohormonal activation, myocardial stress, myocardial necrosis, cardiac remodeling and vasoactive processes, have been identified; they may bring additional value for AMI prognosis when included in multi-biomarker strategies. Furthermore, the use of artificial intelligence algorithms for risk stratification and prognostic assessment in these patients may have an extremely important role in improving outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a powerful antitumor agent with a well-known cardiaotoxic side effects. In the current study, the ameliorative combined impacts of montelukast (Mont) and Klotho against doxorubicin-induced cardiac toxicity were examined. Fifty-six adult male rats (2 months age and weighting 150–200 g) were grouped into 7 groups (8 rats per group). Animals received doxorubicin alone or in combination with either Mont or Klotho. After 2 weeks of treatments, serum samples were examined to assess the changes in cardiac activity biomarkers such as LDH, CK-MB, cardiac troponin-I (cTn-I), and heart fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP). Serum changes of IL-6, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and caspase-3 levels were assayed. The oxidative stress biomarkers such as total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and inflammatory (rat IL-1β and rat TNF-α,) and anti-inflammatory (rat IL-10) cytokines were examined. Heart histology and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) immunoreactivity were measured. DOX induced cardiomyopathy, which was reflected by the increases in all examined cardiac parameters. Real-time PCR confirmed that DOX upregulated the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β and decreased the expression of IL-10. Moreover, DOX showed marked elevation in the ST segment T wave complex, causing profound tachycardia. Heart histology assessments showed cardiac cell necrosis, inflammatory cell infiltration, interstitial congestion, and increased TGF-β1 immunoreactivity. Montelukast and Klotho administration ameliorated all the altered parameters when administered alone or in combination to DOX-intoxicated rats. Klotho was more effective compared with montelukast in terms of reductions in heart rate, ST segment T wave complex elevation, cardiac enzymes (lactate dehydrogenase; LDH, creatine kinase-MB; CK-MB, cardiac troponin I; cTn-I, heart fatty acid binding protein; H-FABP) cardiac histology, and caspase-3 levels and increases in TAC activity. Montelukast was more effective in reducing serum levels of IL6 and iNOS, expression of TNF-α and IL-1β, and the upregulation of IL-10 expression. The co-administration of both drugs led to significantly more synergistic results in terms of reducing cardiac toxicity. In conclusion, montelukast and Klotho either alone or in combination were confirmed to be effective in suppressing DOX-induced cardiac toxicity in rats.

Abstract
Diagnosis and prognostication in acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is achieved using a combination of clinical factors and biomarkers, notably cardiac troponin and B type natriuretic peptide and its N terminal fragment NT-proBNP. However, there are numerous biomarkers that have been shown to be associated with ACS, with variable incremental utility. This brief review focusses on some promising emerging biomarkers in ACS, discussed according to pathophysiologic mechanism, as well as diagnostic and prognostic utility.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism is a frequent and potentially fatal disease. The major challenge of initial management lies in prognostic stratification. Since 2014, the European recommendations on the diagnosis and management of acute pulmonary embolism are based on assessing the risk stratification regarding hemodynamic status first, then on a combined risk assessment model using a clinical score, an imaging evaluation of right heart size and the concentration of a serum cardiac biomarker. Usual biomarkers cover cardiac ischemia (troponin and derivates) and dilatation (BNP and derivates). The aim of this review is to offer a practical update on the role of the Troponins and BNPs families of biomarkers and the prognosis of pulmonary embolism, and furthermore, to provide a brief overview of their place in current management.

Abstract
Cerebrovascular disease, including both ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes, remains one of the highest causes of global morbidity and mortality. Developing nations, such as South Africa (SA), are affected disproportionately. Early identification of stroke patients at risk of poor clinical prognosis may result in improved outcomes. In addition to conventional neuroimaging, the role of predictive biomarkers has been shown to be important. Little data exist on their applicability within SA. This scoping review aimed to evaluate the currently available data pertaining to blood biomarkers that aid in the long-term prognostication of patients following stroke and its potential application in the South African setting. This scoping review followed a 6-stage process to identify and critically review currently available literature pertaining to prognostic biomarkers in stroke. An initial 1191 articles were identified and, following rigorous review, 41 articles were included for the purposes of the scoping review. A number of potential biomarkers were identified and grouped according to the function or origin of the marker. Although most biomarkers showed great prognostic potential, the cost and availability will likely limit their application within SA. The burden of stroke is increasing worldwide and appears to be affecting developing countries disproportionately. Access to neuroradiological services is not readily available in all settings and the addition of biomarkers to assist in the long-term prognostication of patients following a stroke can be of great clinical value. The cost and availability of many of the reviewed biomarkers will likely hinder their use in the South African setting.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to investigate the serum level of heart type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) and its relation to left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and early diabetic kidney disease (DKD). METHODS This study was conducted on 100 T2DM patients divided into 50 patients with early DKD and 50 patients without DKD. Doppler echocardiography was used to assess LV function and serum H-FABP levels were measured using ELISA technique. RESULTS 78% of patients with DKD and 12% of patients without DKD had LV diastolic dysfunction. Among patients with DKD, those with diastolic dysfunction had significantly higher urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) (p = 0.041). H-FABP levels were significantly higher in patients with DKD (p˂0.001) and it had significant positive correlation with UACR (p = 0.009). No significant difference was found regarding serum H-FABP levels between patients with normal LV function and those with diastolic dysfunction in both study groups. CONCLUSION Diastolic dysfunction is a common finding among patients with T2DM. UACR, but not serum H-FABP, is significantly associated with diastolic dysfunction in patients with early DKD. Serum H-FABP level is significantly higher in early DKD and positively correlated with the level of albuminuria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Some studies have found that heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) is related to the prognosis of patients with sepsis. This study aimed to explore whether H-FABP could predict the 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis. METHODS Seven databases were searched, and the studies were screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria to assess the quality. The pooled sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE) positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and the area under the curve (AUC) of the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve were calculated along with the 95% confidence interval (CI) values. Deeks' funnel plot was used to ascertain any publication bias. Meta-regression analysis was performed to explore the possible sources of heterogeneity. RESULTS Seven studies were assessed that included 822 patients with sepsis. The pooled SEN was 0.76 (95% CI, 0.71-0.81), SPE was 0.66 (95% CI, 0.61-0.70), PLR was 2.21 (95% CI, 1.73-2.83), NLR was 0.36 (95% CI, 0.29-0.54), DOR was 6.23 (95% CI, 4.27-9.11) and the pooled AUC was 0.8137. There was no publication bias. Race, literature language, sampling time, threshold division and threshold effect were not the causes for the large heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis suggests that H-FABP has high accuracy in predicting the 28-day mortality rate of patients with sepsis.

Abstract
(1) Background: Sepsis still represents a major health care challenge, with mortality rates exceeding 25% in the western world. To further improve outcomes in this patient collective, new cardiovascular biomarkers present a promising opportunity as they target the paramount prognostic processes in sepsis: inflammation and ischemia. However, in contrast to cardiovascular diseases, a detailed analysis of novel biomarkers in sepsis is still lacking. (2) Objective: In this project, we aimed to perform a comparative analysis of biomarker levels in ischemic cardiovascular disease and sepsis. Analyzed markers comprised soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (sST2; hemodynamics and inflammation), growth-differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15; injury, remodelling), soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR; inflammation and remodeling) and heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP; myocardial ischemia). (3) Methods: In total, 311 patients were included in the study: 123 heart-failure (HF) patients, 60 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 53 sepsis patients. A total of 75 patients without coronary artery disease or signs of heart failure served as a control group. Plasma samples were analyzed by use of ELISA after informed consent. (4) Results: Patients with sepsis showed significantly increased plasma levels in all tested biomarkers compared to cardiovascular disease entities (sST2, suPAR, GDF-15: p < 0.001; H-FABP: compared to HF p < 0.001) and controls (sST2: 7.4-fold, suPAR: 3.4-fold, GDF-15: 6.5-fold and H-FABP: 15.3-fold increased plasma levels, p < 0.001). Moreover, in patients with sepsis, serum concentrations of sST2 and suPAR were significantly elevated in patients with HF and patients with STEMI (sST2: HF: 1.6-fold increase and STEMI: 2.5-fold increase, p < 0.001; suPAR: HF: 1.4-fold increase, p < 0.001 and STEMI: 1.4-fold increase, p < 0.01), whereas plasma levels of GDF-15 and H-FABP were markedly elevated in patients with STEMI only (GDF-15: 1.6-fold increase, H-FABP: 6.4-fold increase, p < 0.001). (5) Conclusions: All tested novel cardiac biomarkers showed significantly elevated levels in sepsis patients. Interestingly, a secretion pattern similar to STEMI was observed with regards to sST2 and HFABP. Thus, by providing an assessment tool especially covering the cardiovascular component of the disease, novel biomarkers offer a promising tool in sepsis patients.

Abstract
Heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) has been regarded as a promising biomarker for early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Developing fast and reliable method for H-FABP detection is still highly desirable but challenging. Herein, an ascorbic acid (AA)-mediated organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) sensing strategy was reported for the detection of H-FABP in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) solution and human serum. A primary antibody/H-FABP/secondary antibody-Au NPs-alkaline phosphatase (ALP) sandwich immunorecognition structure was constructed. The modified ALP could catalytically convert ascorbic acid-2-phosphate to AA, which was then analyzed by OPECT. As a result, the AA-mediated OPECT sensing strategy realized highly sensitive detection of H-FABP with a detection limit of 3.23 × 10-14 g/mL which is two orders of magnitude lower than that of PEC method. Under optimal experimental conditions, H-FABP concentration could be obtained in ∼90 min. Importantly, the analysis of H-FABP was resistant to the interference from immunoglobulin G, bovine serum albumin, cysteine, AA and human serum. The proposed AA-mediated OPECT sensing strategy provides a simple, fast, and accurate way for H-FABP detection in AMI suspected patients.

Abstract
With the gradual prolongation of the overall survival of cancer patients, the cardiovascular toxicity associated with oncology drug therapy and radiotherapy has attracted increasing attention. At present, the main methods to identify early cancer treatment-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) include imaging examination and blood biomarkers. In this review, we will summarize the research progress of subclinical CTRCD-related blood biomarkers in detail. At present, common tumor therapies that cause CTRCD include: (1) Chemotherapy—The CTRCD induced by chemotherapy drugs represented by anthracycline showed a dose-dependent characteristic and most of the myocardial damage is irreversible. (2) Targeted therapy—Cardiovascular injury caused by molecular-targeted therapy drugs such as trastuzumab can be partially or completely alleviated via timely intervention. (3) Immunotherapy—Patients developed severe left ventricular dysfunction who received immune checkpoint inhibitors have been reported. (4) Radiotherapy—CTRCD induced by radiotherapy has been shown to be significantly associated with cardiac radiation dose and radiation volume. Numerous reports have shown that elevated troponin and B-type natriuretic peptide after cancer treatment are significantly associated with heart failure and asymptomatic left ventricular dysfunction. In recent years, a few emerging subclinical CTRCD potential biomarkers have attracted attention. C-reactive protein and ST2 have been shown to be associated with CTRCD after chemotherapy and radiation. Galectin-3, myeloperoxidas, placental growth factor, growth differentiation factor 15 and microRNAs have potential value in predicting CTRCD. In this review, we will summarize CTRCD caused by various tumor therapies from the perspective of cardio-oncology, and focus on the latest research progress of subclinical CTRCD biomarkers.

Analysis of Selected Cardiovascular Biomarkers in Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy and the Most Frequent Cardiomyopathies. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:700169. [PMID: 34805296 PMCID: PMC8597641 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.700169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Among the causes of de novo diagnosed cardiomyopathy, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) plays a minor role, with an occurrence of 50,000–100,000 cases per annum in the United States. In clinical practice, a differentiation of a TTC toward an ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) or a dilatative cardiomyopathy (DCMP) appears to be challenging, especially in a subacute setting or in atypical types of TTC. Methods: To investigate this issue, we analyzed serum levels of sST2, GDF-15, suPAR, HFABP, and clinical parameters including echocardiography in 51 patients with TTC, 52 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) and 65 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP). Results: sST-2 seemed to be the most promising biomarker for prediction of a TTC in differential diagnosis to an ICMP (AUC: 0.879, p = < 0.001, Cut off values: 12,140.5 pg/ml) or to a DCMP (AUC: 0.881, p = < 0.001, cut off value: 14521.9 pg/ml). GDF-15 evidenced a slightly lower AUC for prediction of a TTC in differential diagnosis to an ICMP (AUC: 0.626, p = 0.028) and to a DCMP (AUC: 0.653, p = 0.007). A differential diagnostic value was found for H-FABP in the prediction of a DCMP compared to TTC patients (AUC: 0.686, p = < 0.001). In propensity score matching for left ventricular ejection fraction, sex, and cardiovascular risk factors, differences in the plasma levels of sST2 and H-FABP in the matched cohort of TTC vs. DCMP remained statistically significant. In the matched cohort of TTC vs. ICMP, differences in sST2 also remained statistically significant Conclusion: As medical therapy, long term prognosis, interval of follow-ups, rehabilitation program and recommendations differ completely between TTC and ICMP/DCMP, biomarkers for differential diagnosis, or rather for confirmation of diagnosis, are warranted in cases of cardiomyopathies with unsure origin. sST-2, GDF-15 and H-FABP might facilitate the classification.

Abstract
Introduction Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is clinically indistinguishable from an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In the absence of valid markers for differential diagnosis, coronary angiography has been indispensable. Methods In our study, we evaluated the serum levels of sST-2, GDF-15, suPAR and H-FABP in 92 patients with the suspicion of TTS (51 TTS and 41 ACS patients) and 40 gender matched controls (no coronary artery disease or signs of heart failure) at baseline. Results H-FABP was significantly higher in ACS patients compared to TTS patients. Even in in propensity score matching for left ventricular ejection fraction, sex and cardiovascular risk factors, differences in the plasma levels of H-FABP in the matched cohort of TTS vs ACS remained statistically significant. Whereas, sST-2 was significantly elevated in TTS patients. H-FABP was superior for prediction of an ACS with even higher accuracy than hs troponin in differential diagnosis (AUC 0.797, p ≤ 0.0001); the optimal cut off for discrimination towards a TTS was calculated as 2.93 ng/ml (sensitivity 70.0%, specificity 82.4%, PPV 75.7%, NPV 77.4%). sST-2 seemed most appropriate for identification of a TTS (AUC 0.653, p = 0.012). The optimal cut off for differential diagnosis was 11018.06 pg/ml (sensitivity 82.0%, specificity 51.2%, PPV 69.4%, NPV 71.9 %). Conclusion H-FABP and sST-2 are the most promising markers with better accuracy than preexisting biomarkers in differential diagnosis in our study and therefore, could be crucial for the guidance of treatment in patients with high bleeding risk, advanced renal failure or multimorbidity.

Abstract
The incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is currently increasing. Early detection is important for the treatment and prognosis of patients with AMI. Heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) may be used as an early marker of AMI due to its high sensitivity, specificity and prognostic value. Therefore, in the present study, H-FABP was used as a biomarker in a double-antibody sandwich method and colloidal gold-based lateral flow immunoassay to develop a rapid detection kit for H-FABP with a processing time of only 5 min. The sensitivity of the kit in plasma and whole blood was 1 ng/ml and this method had good specificity, exhibiting no cross-reaction with cardiac troponin I, myoglobin or creatine kinase-Mb. The kits had good shelf life and stability, as they were able to be stored at 40˚C for 30 days. A total of 12 clinical samples were collected for detection and the coincidence rate with the ELISA method was up to 91.67%. Therefore, the present study provided a simple, rapid and economical early-detection in-home testing kit.

Abstract
Background Myocardial infarction (MI) is the single most critical event in coronary disease. Platelets are involved in the processes of acute MI (AMI). They lack nuclear DNA but retain megakaryocyte mRNAs, hence, their transcriptome could provide information preceding coronary events. However, their mechanisms are not clear. In this study, we obtained a gene expression atlas of platelets from patients after their very first AMI, and our purpose was to clarify the mechanisms of platelet involvement in the occurrence of AMI through bioinformatics analyses and animal models of AMI in vivo. Methods We obtained a gene expression atlas of platelets from patients after their very first AMI from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were retrieved using R language. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) was implemented in order to construct a gene co-expression correlation network among DEGs. Animal models of AMI in vivo were constructed to confirm the results of the bioinformatics analysis. Results Gene integration analysis yielded 2,852 DEGs (P<0.05, |log2FC| >1). Bioinformatics analysis demonstrated a significant association between C-reactive protein (CRP) and Staphylococcus aureus infection (SAI) (P=0.015). Data from in vivo experiments showed that CRP increased significantly in AMI rats (P<0.001), and the expression of FCGR2B mRNA and HLA-DRB4 mRNA was elevated in response to the increase of CRP (P<0.001). Conclusions From the results of this study, we speculate that in the development of AMI, the increase in CRP activates platelets and induces platelets to play an anti-inflammatory role.
