Background: Mitsugumin 53 or Tripartite motif 72 (MG53/TRIM72), a myokine/cardiokine belonging to the tripartite motif family, can protect the heart from ischemic injury and regulate lipid metabolism in rodents. However, its biological function in humans remains unclear. This study sought to investigate the relationship between circulating MG53 levels and coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods: The concentration of MG53 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serum samples from 639 patients who underwent angiography, including 205 controls, 222 patients with stable CAD, and 212 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Logistic and linear regression analyses were used to analyze the relationship between MG53 and CAD.Results: MG53 levels were increased in patients with stable CAD and were highest in patients with AMI. Additionally, patients with comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes also had a higher concentration of MG53. We found that MG53 is a significant diagnostic marker of CAD and AMI, as analyzed by logistic regression models. Multivariate linear regression models revealed that serum MG53 was significantly corelated positively with SYNTAX scores. Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores also correlated with serum MG53 levels, indicating that MG53 levels were associated with the severity of CAD and AMI after adjusting for multiple risk factors and clinical biomarkers.Conclusion: MG53 is a valuable diagnostic marker whose serum levels correlate with the presence and severity of stable CAD and AMI, and may represent a novel biomarker for diagnosing CAD and indicating the severity of CAD.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the plasma levels of soluble extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) differed among the patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-STEMI (NSTEMI) and stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and the healthy controls, and to identify the factors associated with the differences in plasma levels of this this protein among patients in these groups. Methods: Plasma EMMPRIN levels were compared among four age- and sex-matched groups of patients with STEMI, NSTEMI and stable CAD and healthy controls (n=44 per group), then logistic regression and correlation analyses were conducted for the whole acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients group. Results: EMMPRIN levels were significantly higher in the STEMI (39.4±9.2ng/mL) and NSTEMI (37.1±10.5ng/mL) groups than in either the stable CAD (27.5±4.7ng/mL) or control (24.5±5.8ng/mL) groups (p

Complement activation and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have both been suggested to drive atherosclerotic plaque progression. Although experimental studies suggest interplay between these two innate immunity components, the relevance in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is unclear. The aim of this study was to assess associations between complement activation and NETs in patients with stable CAD and examine the role of complement activation on clinical outcome. Blood samples from a cohort of patients with angiographically verified stable CAD (n=1001) were analyzed by ELISA for the terminal complement complex (TCC) and by relative quantification for gene expression of the C5a receptor 1 (C5aR1) as markers of complement activation. As markers of NETs, dsDNA was analyzed by fluorescent nucleic acid stain and myeloperoxidase-DNA (MPO-DNA) by ELISA. Clinical outcome was defined as unstable angina, nonhemorrhagic stroke, acute myocardial infarction (MI), or death (n=106, whereof 36 MI). Levels of TCC and C5aR1 were not significantly correlated to dsDNA (TCC: r=−0.045, p=0.153; C5aR1: r=−0.060, p=0.434) or MPO-DNA (TCC: r=0.026, p=0.414; C5aR1: r=0.123, p=0.107). When dividing TCC and C5aR1 levels into quartiles (Q), levels of MPO-DNA differed significantly across quartiles (TCC: p=0.008, C5aR1: 0.049), while dsDNA did not (TCC: p=0.181, C5aR1: p=0.771). Patients with TCC levels in Q4 had significantly higher levels of MPO-DNA than Q1-3 (p=0.019), and C5aR1 levels in Q3-4 had significantly higher levels of MPO-DNA than Q1-2 (p=0.046). TCC levels did not differ between patients experiencing a clinical endpoint or not, but high levels were associated with increased risk of acute MI (OR. 1.97, 95% CI: 0.99-3.90, p=0.053) during two-year follow up, also when adjusted for relevant covariates. In conclusion, TCC and C5aR1 were moderately associated with the NET marker MPO-DNA, and TCC levels were related to the risk of future MI in this cohort of patients with stable CAD.

Aim. To determine the relationship between the serum interleukin (IL) 18 level, the carriage of variant alleles IL18, IL18R1, IL18RAP and the risks of myocardial infarction (MI), hypertension, multifocal atherosclerosis in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).Material and methods. Two hundred and sixty patients with stable coronary artery disease living in a large industrial region ofWestern Siberia were examined. Serum IL18 concentrations was determined by the enzyme immunoassay. Genotyping was performed by real-time polymerase chain reaction using TaqMan technology.Results. We revealed associations of rs13015714 IL18R1 and rs917997 IL18RAP sites with the MI risk (odds ratio (OR), 1,95 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1,063,58], p=0,029; OR, 2,01 [95% CI, 1,11-3,64], p=0,018, respectively). Associations of rs13015714 and rs917997 sites with high IL18 concentrations (genotypes C/T + T/T 488,0 [321,0, 687,2] pg/ml and T/G + G/G 504,2 [275,6; 655,5] pg/ml) was observed.Conclusion. The relationship between the minor alleles of rs13015714 IL18R1 and rs917997 IL18RAP sites with an increased risk of MI in patients with stable CAD was shown. Also, polymorphism at rs13015714 and rs917997 sites provides different levels of circulating IL18. In particular, the carriage of minor alleles is associated with increased IL-18 levels in patients with previous MI and multifocal atherosclerosis or hypertension, as well as with an increase in the risk of these pathologies.

Objective This study aimed to investigate whether differential expression of the retinoic acid receptor-related orphan receptor A ( RORA) gene is related to occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods This was a retrospective study. White blood cells of 93 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 74 patients with stable coronary artery disease were collected. Reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting were used to measure RORA mRNA and protein expression, respectively. Results RORA mRNA expression levels in peripheral blood leukocytes in patients with AMI were 1.57 times higher than those in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Protein RORA levels in peripheral blood of patients with AMI were increased. Binary logistic regression analysis showed that high expression of RORA was an independent risk factor for AMI, and it increased the risk of AMI by 2.990 times. Conclusion RORA expression levels in patients with AMI is significantly higher than that in patients with stable coronary artery disease. High expression of RORA is related to AMI and it may be an independent risk factor for AMI.
