Characteristics of elevated cardiac troponin I in patients with acute ischemic stroke

Objective To study prognostic characteristics of cardiac troponin I （cTnI） elevation in acute ischemic stroke. Methods We retrospectively studied patients （n = 248） with acute ischemic stroke, acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction who were treated between January 2013 and October 2015. Baseline demographic data and changes in cTnI levels among these three groups were compared. Patients with acute ischemic stroke were assigned to either the cTnI elevation group （cTnI 〉 0.034 ng/mL） or the no cTnI elevation group （cTnI ≤ 0.034 ng/mL）. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors associated with elevated serum cTnI in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Moreover, the duration of hospital stay and incidence of major cardiovascular outcomes were compared in patients with acute ischemic stroke, with or without elevated cTnI. Results In this study population of patients with acute ischemic stroke （n = 178）, acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction （n = 35）, and acute non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction （n = 35）, patients with acute ischemic stroke with elevated cTnI comprised 18.54% of subjects. Patients with elevated cTnI were older and more likely to have a history of hypertension. In addition, these patients had higher levels of inflammatory markers, reduced renal functions, increased D-dimer levels, higher NIH stroke scores, and lower left ventricular ejection fractions. Logistic regression analysis showed that both percentage of neutrophil and NIH stroke scores were elevated; estimated glomerular filtration rate and left ventricular ejection fraction were decreased in patients with acute ischemic stroke who had elevated cTnI, and they had more frequent major cardiovascular events during hospital stay. Conclusion Elevated cTnI detected in patients with acute ischemic stroke, indicated a greater likelihood of poor short-term prognosis during hospital stay.

A MXene-functionalized paper-based electrochemical immunosensor for label-free detection of cardiac troponin I

Convenient,rapid,and accurate detection of cardiac troponin I(cTnI)is crucial in early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction(AMI).A paper-based electrochemical immunosensor is a promising choice in this field,because of the flexibility,porosity,and cost-efficacy of the paper.However,paper is poor in electronic conductivity and surface functionality.Herein,we report a paper-based electrochemical immunosensor for the label-free detection of cTnI with the working electrode modified by MXene(Ti_(3)C_(2))nanosheets.In order to immobilize the bio-receptor(anti-cTnI)on the MXene-modified working electrode,the MXene nanosheets were functionalized by aminosilane,and the functionalized MXene was immobilized onto the surface of the working electrode through Nafion.The large surface area of the MXene nanosheets facilitates the immobilization of antibodies,and the excellent conductivity facilitates the electron transfer between the electrochemical species and the underlying electrode surface.As a result,the paper-based immunosensor could detect cTnI within a wide range of 5-100 ng/mL with a detection limit of 0.58 ng/mL.The immunosensor also shows outstanding selectivity and good repeatability.Our MXene-modified paper-based electrochemical immunosensor enables fast and sensitive detection of cTnI,which may be used in real-time and cost-efficient monitoring of AMI diseases in clinics.

Differential IFN-Gamma (IFN-γ), Interleukin 10 (IL-10) and Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) Responses in Natural Bovine Trypanosomosis in Nigeria

Trypanosomosis is major drawback to profitable livestock production in sub-Sahara African, including Nigeria. Knowledge of the cytokines production in the phase of natural infection may help to better diagnose, treat and prevent bovine trypanosomosis. The purpose of the this study was to determine the levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and cardiac troponin–I (cTnI) in the sera of cattle naturally infected with T. brucei, T. congolense and T. vivax and correlate these levels with parasitaemia and PCV of the infected animals. Five milliliter of blood samples were collected via the jugular vein from 411 randomly selected cattle into EDTA and non-citrated bottle. PCV was determined manually using HCT. Trypansomes were detected and characterized by microscopy and PCR, respectively. Serum levels of IFN-γ, IL-10 and cTnI were determined using commercial ELISA kit. Data were summarized using descriptive statistic and significance of differences determined by ANOVA. Of the 62 samples positive for trypanosomes by microscopy, 50 samples were confirmed to species level by PCR. The sera levels of IFN-γ, IL-10 and cTnI of infected cattle were higher than non-infected cattle. The differences were not significant (p γ, IL-10 and cTnI in cattle with natural trypanosomosis. Further investigation is required to understand the specific effect of trypanosomes on myocardiac integrity and interaction between the two cytokines in natural trypanosomosis in cattle.

Elevated level of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I as a predictor of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Background:The relationship between the elevation of cardiac troponin and the increase of mortality and hospitalization rate in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is clear.This study investigated the association between the extent of elevated levels of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I(hs-cTnI)and the prognosis in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction patients.Methods:A retrospective cohort study consecutively enrolled 470 patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction from September 2014 to August 2017.According to the level of hs-cTnI,the patients were divided into the elevated level group(hs-cTnI>0.034 ng/mL in male and hs-cTnI>0.016 ng/mL in female)and the normal level group.All of the patients were followed up once every 6 months.Adverse cardiovascular events were cardiogenic death and heart failure hospitalization.Results:The mean follow-up period was 36.2±7.9 months.Cardiogenic mortality(18.6%[26/140]vs.1.5%[5/330],P<0.001)and heart failure(HF)hospitalization rate(74.3%[104/140]vs.43.6%[144/330],P<0.001)were significantly higher in the elevated level group.The Cox regression analysis showed that the elevated level of hs-cTnI was a predictor of cardiogenic death(hazard ratio[HR]:5.578,95%confidence interval[CI]:2.995-10.386,P<0.001)and HF hospitalization(HR:3.254,95%CI:2.698-3.923,P<0.001).The receiver operating characteristic curve demonstrated that a sensitivity of 72.6%and specificity of 88.8%for correct prediction of adverse cardiovascular events when a level of hs-cTnI of 0.1305 ng/mL in male and a sensitivity of 70.6%and specificity of 90.2%when a level of hs-cTnI of 0.0755 ng/mL in female were used as the cut-off value.Conclusion:Significant elevation of hs-cTnI(≥0.1305 ng/mL in male and≥0.0755 ng/mL in female)is an effective indicator of the increased risk of cardiogenic death and HF hospitalization in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction patients.

Value of transthoracic echocardiography combined with cardiac troponin I in risk stratification in acute pulmonary thromboembolism

Background Acute pulmonary thromboembolism （APE） causes right ventricular dysfunction （RVD） and cardiac troponin I （cTnl） elevation. Patients with RVD and cTnl elevation have a worse prognosis. Thus, early detection of RVD and cTnl elevation is beneficial for risk stratification. In this study, we assessed 14-day adverse clinical events and combined RVD on transthoracic echocardiography （TTE） with cTnl in risk stratification among a broad spectrum of APE patients. Methods The prospective multi-centre trial included 90 patients with confirmed APE from 12 collaborating hospitals. Acute RVD on TTE was diagnosed in the presence of at least 2 of the following： right ventricular dilatation （without hypertrophy）, loss of inspiratory collapse of inferior vena cava （IVC）, right ventricular （RV） hypokinesis, tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity 〉2.8 m/s. The study patients were divided into two groups according to clinical and echocardiographic findings at presentation： Group Ⅰ： 50 patients with RVD; Group Ⅱ：40 patients without RVD. Results More than half of the patients （50/90, 55.6%） had RVD. Nearly one third （26/90, 28.9%） of patients had elevated cTnl at presentation and only 4.2% on the fourth day after initial therapy. A multiple Logistic regression model implied RVD, right and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter ratio （RVED/LVED）, and cTnl independently predict an adverse 14-day clinical outcome （P〈0.01）. Receiver operating characteristics （ROC） curves revealed that the cut-off values of RVED/LVED and cTnl yielding the highest discriminating power were 0.65 and 0.11 ng/ml, respectively. Furthermore, the incidence of an adverse 14-day clinical event in patients with RVD and elevated cTnl was greater （40.7%） than in patients with elevated cTnl or positive RVD alone （0% and 8.3%, respectively） （P〈0.001）. Conclusions RVD, RVED/LVED, and cTnl are independent predictors of 14-day clinical outcomes. The patients with RVED/LVED greater than 0.65 and cTnl higher than 0.11 ng/ml at presentation possibly have adverse 14-day events. RVD combined with cTnl can identify a subgroup of APE patients with a much more guarded prognosis.

Intranuclear cardiac troponin I plays a functional role in regulating Atp2a2 expression in cardiomyocytes

In the past studies,it is shown that cardiac troponin I(cTnI,encoded by TNNI3),as a cytoplasmic protein,is an inhibitory subunit in troponin complex,and involves in cardiomyocyte diastolic regulation.Here,we assessed a novel role of cTnI as a nucleoprotein.Firstly,the nuclear translocation of cTnI was found in mouse,human fetuses and rat heart tissues.In addition,there were differences in percentage of intranuclear cTnI in different conditions.Based on weighted gene co-expression network analyses(WGCNA)and verification in cell experiments,a strong expression correlation was found between TNNI3 and Atp2a2,which encodes sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2t ATPase isoform 2a(SERCA2a),and involves in ATP hydrolysis and Ca2t transient.TNNI3 gain and loss caused Atpa2a2 increase/decrease in a dosedependent manner both in mRNA and protein levels,in vivo and in vitro.By using ChIP-sequence we demonstrated specific binding DNA sequences of cTnI were enriched in ATP2a2 promoter239we889 region and the specific binding sequence motif of cTnI was analyzed by software as"CCAT",which has been reported to be required for YY1 binding to the promoter region of YY1-related genes.Moreover,it was further verified that pcDNA3.1()-TNNI3 could express cTnI proteins and increase the promoter activity of Atp2a2 through luciferase report assay.In the end,we evaluated beat frequencies,total ATP contents,Ca2t transients in TNNI3-siRNA myocardial cells.These findings indicated,for the first time,cTnI may regulate Atp2a2 in cardiomyocytes as a co-regulatory factor and participate in the regulation of intracellular Ca ions.

An electrochemiluminescent magneto-immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of hs-cTnI on a microfluidic chip

Sensitive detection and precise quantitation of trace-level crucial biomarkers in a complex sample matrix has become an important area of research.For example,the detection of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI) is strongly recommended in clinical guidelines for early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.Based on the use of an electrode modified by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and a Ru(bpy)32+-doped silica nanoparticle (Ru@SiO2)/tripropylamine (TPA) system,a novel type of electrochemiluminescent (ECL) magnetoimmunosensor is developed for ultrasensitive detection of hs-cTnI.In this approach,a large amount of[Ru(bpy)3]2+is loaded in SiO2(silica nanoparticles) as luminophores with high luminescent efficiency and SWCNTs as electrode surface modification material with excellent electrooxidation ability for TPA.Subsequently,a hierarchical micropillar array of microstructures is fabricated with a magnet placed at each end to efficiently confine a single layer of immunomagnetic microbeads on the surface of the electrode and enable 7.5-fold signal enhancement In particular,the use of transparent SWCNTs to modify a transparent ITO electrode provides a two-order-of-magnitude ECL signal amplification.A good linear calibration curve is developed for hs-cTnI concentrations over a wide range from 10 fg/ml to 10 ng/ml,with the limit of detection calculated as 8.720 fg/ml (S/N=3).This ultrasensitive immunosensor exhibits superior detection performance with remarkable stability,reproducibility,and selectivity.Satisfactory recoveries are obtained in the detection of hs-cTnI in human serum,providing a potentia analysis protocol for clinical applications.

The combination of creatine kinase-myocardial band isoenzyme and point-of-care cardiac troponin/contemporary cardiac troponin for the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction

BACKGROUND:The early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction(AMI)remains challenging,especially for institutions without the high-sensitive cardiac troponin(hs-c Tn)assay.Herein,we aim to assess the value of creatine kinase-myocardial band isoenzyme(CK-MB)combined with different cardiac troponin(c Tn)assays in AMI diagnosis.METHODS:This multicenter,observational study included 3,706 patients with acute chest pain from September 1,2015,to September 30,2017.We classified the participants into three groups according to the c Tn assays:the point-of-care c Tn(POC-c Tn)group,the contemporary c Tn(c-c Tn)group,and hs-c Tn group.The diagnostic value was quantified using sensitivity and the area under the curve(AUC).RESULTS:Compared to the single POC-c Tn/c-c Tn assays,combining CK-MB and POC-c Tn/c-c Tn increased the diagnostic sensitivity of AMI(56.1%vs.63.9%,P<0.001;82.7%vs.84.3%,P=0.025).In contrast,combining CK-MB and hs-c Tn did not change the sensitivity compared with hs-c Tn alone(95.0%vs.95.0%,P>0.999).In the subgroup analysis,the sensitivity of combining CKMB and c-c Tn increased with time from symptom onset<6 h compared with c-c Tn alone(72.8%vs.75.0%,P=0.046),while the sensitivity did not increase with time from symptom onset>6 h(97.5%vs.98.3%,P=0.317).The AUC of the combination of CK-MB and POC-c Tn significantly increased compared to the single POC-c Tn assay(0.776 vs.0.750,P=0.002).The AUC of the combined CKMB and c-c Tn/hs-c Tn assays did not significantly decrease compared with that of the single c-c Tn/hs-c Tn assays within 6 h.CONCLUSIONS:The combination of CK-MB and POC-c Tn or c-c Tn may be valuable for the early diagnosis of AMI,especially when hs-c Tn is not available.

Comparison of plasma microRNA-1 and cardiac troponin T in early diagnosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction

BACKGROUND:Early reperfusion can effectively treat acute myocardial infarction(AMI) and reduce the mortality signif icantly. This study aimed to compare the role of plasma microRNA-1(miR-1) and cardiac troponin T(cTnT) in early diagnosis of AMI patients.METHODS:From May 2011 to May 2012,plasma samples were collected from 56 AMI patients and 28 non-AMI controls. The expression of plasma miR-1 was measured by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR),and the level of plasma cTnT was measured using electrochemiluminescence-based methods on an Elecsys 2010 Immunoassay Analyzer. SPSS 16.0 was used for the statistical analysis of the results. Data were expressed as mean±standard deviation unless otherwise described. The differences about clinical characteristics between the AMI patients and controls were tested using Student's t test or Fisher's exact test. The Mann-Whitney U test was conducted to compare the expression of microRNAs between the AMI patients and controls. MicroRNAs expression between different intervals of the AMI patients was compared using Wilcoxon's signed-rank test. The receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was established to discriminate the AMI patients from the controls.RESULTS:In the present study,the expression of plasma miR-1 was signifi cantly increased in the AMI patients compared with the healthy controls(P<0.01). The plasma miR-1 in the AMI patients decreased to the normal level at 14 days(P>0.05). The expression of plasma miR-1 was not related to the clinical characteristics of the study population(P>0.05). ROC curve analyses demonstrated that miR-1 was specifi c and sensitive for the early diagnosis of AMI,but not superior to cTnT.CONCLUSION:Plasma miR-1 could be used in the early diagnosis of AMI,but it is similar to cTnT.
