Abstract

Systemic inflammatory response to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is detrimental to heart function. In this study, we proved that poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) activity of circulating mononuclear cell (MNC) increased significantly in post-AMI patients. MNC PARP activity was correlated positively with plasma tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) level, interleukin-10 (IL-10) level and the ratio of plasma TNF-α/IL-10 respectively. On the contrary, MNC PARP activity was correlated negatively with left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening which were measured with echocardiography in the same day when blood sample was collected. These results implicated that activation of PARP in MNC contributes to the increases in plasma TNF-α and IL-10 and is associated with systolic dysfunction of heart after AMI.

    The therapeutic efficacy is sustained across multiple animal species (rodent and large animal), exhibits a good therapeutic window, and extends into multiple relevant outcome variables (infarct size, cardiac enzymes, contractility, inflammatory mediators, mononuclear cell infiltration into the heart and activation of circulating leukocytes). There are also multiple lines of human data showing PARP activation in the heart in various cardiac diseases (or diseases with cardiac involvement) including acute myocardial infarction and revascularization, where PARP activation has been demonstrated in circulating leukocytes (Tóth-Zsámboki et al., 2006; Yao et al., 2008), cardiopulmonary bypass (Ramlawi et al., 2006) as well as septic shock (Soriano et al., 2006), aortic valve stenosis (Nagy et al., 2012), diabetic cardiomyopathy and chronic heart failure (Pillai et al., 2005a,b; Molnár et al., 2006). Taken together, the data are in support of further exploration of this indication for the clinical development of PARP inhibitors.

    The ROC analysis displays a high performance for both ET-1 and MCP-1 as event-specific markers in such circumstances. Finally, our results show that serum levels of both vasoconstrictive and inflammatory mediators were higher in the reference population compared with healthy volunteers, confirming previous findings (3–7). In the last decade, research has focused on identifying inflammatory signaling pathways specifically involved in ACS (8–11).

  • Activation and Overexpression of PARP-1 in Circulating Mononuclear Cells Promote TNF-α and IL-6 Expression in Patients with Unstable Angina

    2008, Archives of Medical Research
    Citation Excerpt :

    PARP-1 normally functions in DNA repair and also participates in the transcriptional regulation of genes via two mechanisms: (1) PARP-1 promotes decondensation of higher-order chromatin structures through poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of histones; and (2) PARP-1 acts as a component of enhancer/promoter regulatory complexes (5,6). It has been shown that activation of PARP-1 promotes transcription of TNF-α and IL-6 in monocytes/macrophages (7,8). However, it remains unclear whether PARP-1 is activated in patients with UA.

  • Association between burnout and circulating levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in schoolteachers

    2008, Journal of Psychosomatic Research
    Citation Excerpt :

    The TNF-α/IL-10 balance may play an important role in various diseases [24]. Elevated plasma TNF-α/IL-4 ratio was associated with greater proinflammatory activity of circulating monocytes during acute myocardial infarction [25] and implied in the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder [26]. Given the potentially important role of a shift in the balance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines toward the former in different somatic (including cardiovascular) and psychiatric diseases, we also computed the ratio between TNF-α and IL-4 and between TNF-α and IL-10.
