Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury is a significant clinical problem without effective therapy. Unbiased omics approaches may reveal key MI/R mediators to initiate MI/R injury. Methods: We used a dynamic transcriptome analysis of mouse heart exposed to various MI/R periods to identify S100a8/a9 as an early mediator. Using loss/gain-of-function approaches to understand the role of S100a8/a9 in MI/R injury, we explored the mechanisms through transcriptome and functional experiment. Dynamic serum S100a8/a9 levels were measured in patients with acute myocardial infarction before and after percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients were prospectively followed for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events. Results: S100a8/a9 was identified as the most significantly upregulated gene during the early reperfusion stage. Knockout of S100a9 markedly decreased cardiomyocyte death and improved heart function, whereas hematopoietic overexpression of S100a9 exacerbated MI/R injury. Transcriptome/functional studies revealed that S100a8/a9 caused mitochondrial respiratory dysfunction in cardiomyocytes. Mechanistically, S100a8/a9 downregulated NDUF gene expression with subsequent mitochondrial complex I inhibition via Toll-like receptor 4/Erk–mediated Pparg coactivator 1 alpha/nuclear respiratory factor 1 signaling suppression. Administration of S100a9 neutralizing antibody significantly reduced MI/R injury and improved cardiac function. Finally, we demonstrated that serum S100a8/a9 levels were significantly increased 1 day after percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute myocardial infarction, and elevated S100a8/a9 levels were associated with the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events. Conclusions: Our study identified S100a8/a9 as a master regulator causing cardiomyocyte death in the early stage of MI/R injury via the suppression of mitochondrial function. Targeting S100a8/a9-intiated signaling may represent a novel therapeutic intervention against MI/R injury. Clinical Trial Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

Objective: Antiplatelet therapy is recommended in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) who had the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedure to reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). There has been a lack of population-based studies that showed the superior effectiveness of ticagrelor over clopidogrel and similar studies have not been conducted in Indonesia yet. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of ticagrelor compared to clopidogrel in reducing the risk of MACE in patients with CHD after PCI.Methods: A retrospective cohort study with 1-year follow-up was conducted. 361 patients consisted of 111 patients with ticagrelor exposure and 250 patients with clopidogrel exposure. The primary outcome was MACE, defined as a composite of repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction, or all-cause death. The association between antiplatelet exposure and the MACE was analyzed with Cox proportional hazard regression, adjusted for sex, age, comorbid, PCI procedures and concomitant therapy.Results: MACE occurred in 22.7% of the subjects. Clopidogrel had a significantly higher risk of MACE compared with ticagrelor (28.8%, vs 9.0%, hazard ratio (HR): 1.96 (95% CI 1.01 to 3.81, p=0.047). There were no significant differences in risk of repeat revascularization (20.40% vs 5.40%, HR: 2.32, 95% CI 0.99 to 5.42, p = 0.05), myocardial infarction (11.60% vs 3.60%, HR: 2.08, 95% CI, 0.73 to 5.93, p = 0.17), and death (1.60% vs 1.80%, HR: 0.77, 95% CI, 0.14 to 4.25, p = 0.77).Conclusion: Clopidogrel had a higher risk of MACE compared to clopidogrel in patients with CHD after PCI, but there were no significant differences in the risk of repeat revascularization, myocardial infarction, and all-cause death.

Objective. This study aimed to establish a clinical prognostic nomogram for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods. Information on 464 patients with STEMI who performed PCI procedures was included. After removing patients with incomplete clinical information, a total of 460 patients followed for 2.5 years were randomly divided into evaluation (n = 324) and validation (n = 136) cohorts. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to identify the significant factors associated with MACEs in the evaluation cohort, and then they were incorporated into the nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was evaluated by the discrimination, calibration, and clinical usefulness. Results. Apelin-12 change rate, apelin-12 level, age, pathological Q wave, myocardial infarction history, anterior wall myocardial infarction, Killip’s classification > I, uric acid, total cholesterol, cTnI, and the left atrial diameter were independently associated with MACEs (all P<0.05). After incorporating these 11 factors, the nomogram achieved good concordance indexes of 0.758 (95%CI = 0.707–0.809) and 0.763 (95%CI = 0.689–0.837) in predicting MACEs in the evaluation and validation cohorts, respectively, and had well-fitted calibration curves. The decision curve analysis (DCA) revealed that the nomogram was clinically useful. Conclusions. We established and validated a novel nomogram that can provide individual prediction of MACEs for patients with STEMI after PCI procedures in a Chinese population. This practical prognostic nomogram may help clinicians in decision making and enable a more accurate risk assessment.

Abstract Background The proportion of the octogenarian population is expanding especially in Eastern society. Due to the clustering of risk factors, acute myocardial infarction (AMI) represents a major cardiovascular complication in octogenarian subjects. This suggests the need to further optimize their therapeutic management to prevent future cardiac events after AMI. However, analysis of clinical characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes in octogenarian subjects with AMI who received the current established medical therapies is limited. Purpose To investigate clinical features and prognosis in octogenarian AMI subjects treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods We analyzed 1547 AMI subjects underwent PCI between 2007 and 2017. Baseline characteristics and the occurrence of composite major adverse cardiovascular events (cardiac death, non-fatal MI, revascularization, heart failure and stroke) were compared in octogenarian and non-octogenarian subjects. Results 22.0% (340/1547) of study subjects was octogenarian. They were more likely to have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and a lower level of LDL-C on admission (Table). Moreover, a higher prevalence of severer Killip class and LVEF <30% were observed in octogenarians (Table). However, they were not optimally treated with the established medical therapies at discharge (Table). During the observational period (median=3.1 years), the composite of cardiovascular events more frequently occurred in octogenarian subjects. Of note, they exhibited a 2.15-fold and 3.01-fold increased risk for heart failure and stroke events, respectively (Figure). Table 1 Non-Octogenarian (n=1207) Octogenarian (n=340) P-value CKD* (%) 33.8 63.2 <0.0001 LVEF <30% (%) 5.7 10.3 0.02 Killip class 1.33±0.03 1.55±0.05 <0.0001 LDL-C (mmol/L) 3.20±0.03 2.80±0.05 <0.0001 Statin (%) 86.3 78.2 0.0006 Beta-blocker (%) 74.0 65.8 0.005 ACE-I/ARB (%) 87.3 76.6 <0.0001 DAPT (%) 86.0 88.6 0.42 *CKD is defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m2. Figure 1 Conclusions Octogenarian subjects with AMI were high-risk group associated with heart failure and stroke events. Their distinct clinical backgrounds may affect the adoption of optimal medical therapies, potentially resulting in worse cardiovascular outcomes. Further intensified management should be applied to octogenarian subjects with AMI.
