In 67 patients with acute AMI, AMA was assayed by ELISA and left ventricular structure and cardiac function were examined by echocardiography at the end of the first week after infarction and during a 6-month follow-up. The patients with AMI were divided into AMA-positive group and AMA-negative group. The parameters of left ventricular end-dias- tolic function and prognosis were compared between the two groups. Results showed that the AMA was positive in 18 patients with AMI, with a positive rate of 26. 87 %, while it was negative in 20 health donors. The locations of myocardial infarction in the two groups were similar. There were significant differences in Killip class I (22. 22 % vs 55. 10 %, P<0. 05), decreasing of wall motion and ventricular aneurysm (92. 85 % vs 37. 5 %, P<0.01) between the positive group and the negative group. During a 6-month follow-up, the mortality was higher in AMA positive group than in AMA negative group (38. 89% vs 10. 20 %, P<0. 05). It is concluded that AMA can be detected in serum of patients with AMI and can serve as an important autoimmune marker. The autoimmune response might take place in AMI. AMA was associated with the left ventricular re- modeling and the prognosis of AMI.展开更多

Phospho-specific antibodies have become powerful tools to study these processes. Cardiac myosin binding protein-C (cMyBP-C) is one of the proteins that make up the contractile apparatus of cardiomyocytes. Phosphorylation of cMyBP-C is essential for normal cardiac function, since dephosphorylation of this protein leads to its degradation and has been associated with cardiomyopathy. One of the upstream kinases, which phosphorylate cMyBP-C, is protein kinase D (PKD). While studying the role of PKD in cMyBP-C phosphorylation, we tried to analyze phosphorylation of PKD with a phospho-specific PKD-Ser744/748 antibody. Contrary to the expected 115 kDa, a signal was found for a 150-kDa protein. By MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, we identified this protein to be cMyBP-C. These data were confirmed by immunostaining using the p-PKD-Ser744/748 antibody, which displayed a striated pattern similar to the one observed for a regular cMyBP-C antibody. To our knowledge there are no antibodies commercially available for phosphorylated cMyBP-C. Thus, the p-PKD-Ser744/748 antibody can accelerate research into the role of cMyBP-C phosphorylation in cardiomyocytes.展开更多

With emergence of new methodologies and technologies, the structure and functions of cMyBP-C from different aspects can be studied, enabling us to better understand its involvement in certain cardiac conditions. Studying its kinetics of release and clearance from the circulation and by comparing to other conventional biomarkers, it has been reported that cMyBP-C is eligible to be a novel biomarker for several cardiac conditions. Moreover, studying the genetics and their involvement in pathogenic mechanisms has opened the ideas for potential therapeutic strategies. More and more researches are constantly being done to better understand the role of cMyBP-C in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The importance of cMyBP-C to the heart is still actively being investigated. Its presence is however crucial for sarcomere organization and proper regulation of cardiac contraction during systole and complete relaxation during diastole. Genetic mutation in cMyBP-C has been linked to cardiac conditions including hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathies. Around 350 types of mutations have already been documented leading to various cardiac conditions and abnormalities. Analyzing human heart samples has enabled us to better understand the importance of cMyBP-C and how its mutations lead to inherited cardiomyopathies. It is therefore necessary to have an update about the research progress of cMyBP-C in relation to DCM and other cardiac conditions.展开更多
