Altered Gene Expression Pattern in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

Abstract: BackgroundDespite a substantial progress in diagnosis and therapy, acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of mortality in the general population. A novel insight into the pathophysiology of myocardial infarction obtained by studying gene expression should help to discover novel biomarkers of MI and to suggest novel strategies of therapy. The aim of our study was to establish gene expression patterns in leukocytes from acute myocardial infarction patients.Methods and ResultsTwenty-eight patients with… Show more

“…Using gene expression profiles, we can obtain adequate information about altered gene expression correlating with disease. Kiliszek et al (2012) utilized a microarray approach to demonstrate that, during ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), many genes have altered expression, including those involved in various pathways related to platelet function, lipid/glucose metabolism and atherosclerotic plaque stability. Based on the system level of gene expression profiling, gene co-expression network analyses could be an alternative method for analyzing expression profiling data (Stuart et al, 2003), in order to gain an insight into molecular regulatory mechanisms of heart diseases caused by myocardial infarction.…”

“…34,35 Similar studies using peripheral blood mononuclear cells have also identified genes related to adaptive immunity as being associated with MI. 36 Of note, most studies of the expressed genome in MI cannot determine whether changes in gene expression are the cause or the result of MI. However, platelets lack nuclei, and their mRNA levels are established at the time of megakaryopoiesis.…”

“…The identified target mRNAs were clustered in several pathways, including inflammatory pathways involving PPAR, IL-6, IL-10, natural killer cell, and glucocorticoid receptor signaling; cholesterol metabolism involving liver X and retinoic acid receptor activation; and the extrinsic pathway of the coagulation system. Interestingly, mRNA expression changed across the different time points, suggesting that there exists an mRNA signature for acute STEMI [53] that could be used to facilitate diagnosis settings where immediate access to trained personnel is limited. These discoveries reflect the intimate relationships between cholesterol deposition, intimal proliferation and inflammation, and acute thrombosis involved in the natural history of CAD.…”
