Neutrophil stunning by metoprolol reduces infarct size.

ABSTRACT: The ?1-adrenergic-receptor (ADRB1) antagonist metoprolol reduces infarct size in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. The prevailing view has been that metoprolol acts mainly on cardiomyocytes. Here, we demonstrate that metoprolol reduces reperfusion injury by targeting the haematopoietic compartment. Metoprolol inhibits neutrophil migration in an ADRB1-dependent manner. Metoprolol acts during early phases of neutrophil recruitment by impairing structural and functional rearrangements needed for productive engagement of circulating platelets, resulting in erratic intravascular dynamics and blunted inflammation. Depletion of neutrophils, ablation of Adrb1 in haematopoietic cells, or blockade of PSGL-1, the receptor involved in neutrophil-platelet interactions, fully abrogated metoprolol's infarct-limiting effects. The association between neutrophil count and microvascular obstruction is abolished in metoprolol-treated AMI patients. Metoprolol inhibits neutrophil-platelet interactions in AMI patients by targeting neutrophils. Identification of the relevant role of ADRB1 in haematopoietic cells during acute injury and the protective role upon its modulation offers potential for developing new therapeutic strategies.

Project description:BackgroundThe relevance of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is unclear. We explored the temporal profile of circulating NET markers and their associations to myocardial injury and function and to adverse clinical events in STEMI patients.Methods and resultsIn 259 patients, blood samples were drawn before and after PCI, on day 1, and after 4 months. Double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) and myeloperoxidase-DNA (MPO-DNA) were measured in serum by a nucleic acid stain and ELISA. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging assessed microvascular obstruction (MVO), area at risk, infarct size, myocardial salvage index, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and change in indexed left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDVi). Clinical events were registered after 12 months. dsDNA and MPO-DNA levels were highest before PCI, with reduced levels thereafter (all p ≤ 0.02). Patients with high vs. low day 1 dsDNA levels (>median; 366 ng/ml) more frequently had MVO, larger area at risk, larger infarct size acutely and after 4 months, and lower myocardial salvage index (all p < 0.03). Moreover, they had lower LVEF acutely and after 4 months, and larger change in LVEDVi (all p ≤ 0.014). High day 1 dsDNA levels also associated with risk of having a large infarct size (>75th percentile) and low LVEF (≤49%) after 4 months when adjusted for gender, time from symptoms to PCI, and infarct localization (OR 2.3 and 3.0, both p < 0.021), and patients with high day 1 dsDNA levels were more likely to experience an adverse clinical event, also when adjusting for peak troponin T (hazard ratio 5.1, p = 0.012). No such observations were encountered for MPO-DNA.ConclusionsHigh day 1 dsDNA levels after STEMI were associated with myocardial infarct size, adverse left ventricular remodeling, and clinical outcome. Although the origin of dsDNA could be discussed, these observations indicate a potential role for dsDNA in acute myocardial ischemia. This trial is registered with S-08421d, 2008/10614 (Regional Committee for Medical Research Ethics in South-East Norway (2008)).

Project description:Preinfarction angina may act as a clinical surrogate of ischemic preconditioning that may reduce infarct size and improve mortality in the setting of thrombolytic therapy for ST-elevation myocardial infarction. However, the benefits of preinfarction angina in the setting of primary percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting is inconclusive because of the greater achievement of infarct artery patency and speed of reperfusion.To identify a homogeneous population, we performed a retrospective analysis of 1031 patients admitted with a first ST-elevation myocardial infarction with ischemic times between 1 and 6 hours who received primary percutaneous coronary intervention. We identified 245 patients who had occluded arteries on presentation, of which 79 patients had documented preinfarction angina defined as chest pain within 24 hours of infarction. Infarct size was measured as the peak creatine kinase level, a metric supported in a subgroup by late enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Patients with preinfarction angina (n=79) had a 50% reduction in infarct size compared with those patients without preinfarction angina (n=166) by both peak creatine kinase (1094±75 IU/L versus 2270±102 IU/L; P<0.0001) and creatine kinase area under curve (18 420±18 941 versus 36 810±21 741 IU/h per liter; P<0.0001) despite having identical ischemic times (185±8 minutes versus 181±5 minutes; P=0.67) and angiographic area at risk (24.1±1.2% versus 25.3±0.9%; P=0.43). There was an absolute 4% improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction before discharge in those patients with preinfarction angina (P<0.02).The occurrence of preinfarction angina is associated with significant myocardial protection in the setting of primary percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting during ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Because preinfarction angina is relatively common, it is important that these patients be identified in clinical trials investigating therapies designed to reduce reperfusion injury and infarct size.
