Association between Galectin-3 levels within central and peripheral venous blood, and adverse left ventricular remodelling after first acute myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT: Our study investigates association between Galectin-3 levels and adverse left ventricular remodelling (LVR) at six months. Fifty-seven patients following first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were enrolled in this study and blood samples collected on day 1 from the femoral vein and artery, the right atrium near the coronary sinus and the aortic root, and on day 30, from the cubital vein. Patients with LVESV ?20% at six months, were included in the LVR group. On day 1, Galectin-3 plasma levels in the femoral vein (10.34?ng/ml?±?3.81 vs 8.22?ng/ml?±?2.34, p?=?0.01), and near coronary sinus (10.7?ng/ml?±?3.97 vs 8.41?ng/ml?±?2.56, p?=?0.007) were higher in the LVR group. Positive correlations between Galectin-3 levels from aortic root and coronary sinus, aortic root and femoral vein, and coronary sinus and femoral vein, were observed in both groups. On day 30, Galectin-3 concentration in the cubital vein was an independent risk factor of LVR six months post-AMI, demonstrating 1.5-fold increased risk. Day-30 Galectin-3 also showed positive correlations with echocardiography parameters indicative of diastolic and systolic dysfunction. Determining Galectin-3 plasma concentration on day 30 following AMI could have beneficial prognostic value in predicting LVR.

Project description:We report a genome-wide survey of early responses of the mouse heart transcriptome to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). For three regions of the left ventricle (LV), namely ischemic/infarcted tissue (IF), the surviving LV free wall (FW) and the interventricular septum (IVS), 36,899 transcripts were assayed at six time points from 15 min to 48 h post-AMI in both AMI and sham surgery mice. For each transcript, temporal expression patterns were systematically compared between AMI and sham groups, which identified 515 AMI-responsive genes in IF tissue, 35 in the FW, 7 in the IVS, with three genes induced in all three regions. Using the literature, we assigned functional annotations to all 519 nonredundant AMI-induced genes and present two testable models for central signaling pathways induced early post-AMI. First, the early induction of 15 genes involved in assembly and activation of the activator protein-1 (AP-1) family of transcription factors implicates AP-1 as a dominant regulator of earliest post-ischemic molecular events. Second, dramatic increases in transcripts for arginase 1 (ARG1), the enzymes of polyamine biosynthesis and protein inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity indicates that NO production may be regulated, in part, by inhibition of NOS and coordinate depletion of the NOS substrate, L-arginine. ARG1 was the single most highly induced transcript in the database (121-fold in IF region) and its induction in heart has not been previously reported. Keywords: heart attack, mouse, time course, regional responses We report temporal and regional changes in steady state mRNA levels in the mouse LV following a surgically-induced AMI. Three regions of the infarcted LV were surveyed: IF, FW and IVS. For each region, mRNA levels were assayed at t=0 and six time points after occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (t = 15 min, 1 h, 4 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h). As control, an identical time course was carried out in the mouse LV after sham surgery in which the suture was passed under the artery, but not ligated. For sham surgical mice and naïve mice (t=0), the IVS and the LV free wall were harvested and assayed. The AMI and sham time courses were repeated for a total of two independent repetitions of the experiment. For each repetition, 96 GeneChips were hybridized. Thus, for two repetitions, 192 GeneChips (2 x 96) were hybridized. In addition, the naïve time point was assayed a second time during Repetition 1 for six additional GeneChips (two tissues x three chips). The overall total number of samples is 198 GeneChips (192 + 6). Total RNA was isolated from each individual tissue sample. Equal weights of total RNA from 4-10 mice were combined for each LV region, time point and treatment. Copy RNA mixtures were synthesized from each total RNA pool and hybridized to the Affymetrix GeneChip set MG U74 v2 (A, B, and C) that carries 36,899 probe sets. The global normalization of fluorescence emissions for the 198 GeneChips used in this study and their conversion to relative transcript concentrations measured in relative fluorescence units (RFU) was conducted using Robust Multi-array Averaging (RMA; www.bioconductor.org). Each of the 198 Accessions is titled as follows: time point / treatment / tissue, repetition, GeneChip. The additional assays of naïve mice in Repetition 1 are labeled “Naive2”.
