Abstract:
As the most severe manifestation of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction (MI) is a complex and multifactorial pathophysiologic process. However, the pathogenesis that underlies MI remains unclear. Here, we generated a MI mouse model by ligation of the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery. The transcriptome and proteome, at different time points after MI, were detected and analysed. Immune-related pathways, cell cycle-related pathways, and extracellular matrix remodelling-related pathways were significantly increased after MI. Not only innate immune cells but also adaptive immune cells participated in the early stage of MI. Proteins that functioned in blood agglutination, fibrinolysis, secretion, and immunity were significantly changed after MI. Nppa, Serpina3n, and Anxa1, three secreted proteins that can easily be detected in blood, were significantly changed after MI. Our discoveries not only reveal the molecular and cellular changes in MI but also identify potential candidate biomarkers of MI for clinical diagnosis or treatment.
