Creatine kinase BB activity in serum of patients with acute stroke: correlation with the severity of brain damage

Abstract: BB-CK activity was measured in 11 patients with stroke and in 10 controls. Blood samples were taken 36 hours after the clinical stroke onset in every patient. Sera were stored at -80 degrees and analyzed within two months. The creatine kinase isoenzymatic pattern was determined by ion-exchange column separation and gradient elution system. The mean BB-CK concentration in patients with stroke was significantly higher than in controls (p less than 0.01). In the group of "stroke" patients we found a correlation b… Show more

“…CK in the isoforms of CK-MM and CK-MB have been widely studied for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction 22 , but less is known about CK-BB disease relevance. In concordance with our results, CK-BB has been well reported to immediately increase in blood circulation and CSF following acute cerebral injuries, including cerebrovascular traumatisms, meningitis and strokes 23 – 25 , and its role as a plausible diagnostic biomarker for ischemic stroke has been previously postulated 26 , 27 . CK-BB provenance has been slightly controversial; some studies have proven that astrocytes and neurons are the main CK-BB source, whereas others, including us, could only proof that astrocytes express CK-BB in brain 28 .…”

“…Despite their limited validity, some biochemical markers are currently used as indicators of brain damages [16,17] including neuron-specific enolase (NSE) [18], astroglial protein S-100b [19], myelin basic protein (MBP) [20], creatin phosphokinase isoenzyme BB (CK-BB) [21], tau [22], thrombomodulin (Tm), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), adenylkinase, lactate, lactate deshydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, glutathione, vasointestinal neuropeptide, and 7B2-specific neuropetide [17]. Recently, Reynolds et al [23] developed a panel of five proteins (S-100b, B-type neurotrophic growth factor, von Willebrand factor, matrix metalloproteinase-9, and monocyte chemotactic protein-1), which appeared capable to diagnose a stroke with sensitivity and specificity above 90%.…”
