Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to discover the functions of circulating white blood cells, called monocytes, and associated circulating substances in heart attack and ischemic stroke patients. Ischemic Strokes (clots) occur as a result of an obstruction within a blood vessel supplying blood to the brain. A type of monocyte carrying a surface marker called "P2X4" helps the immune system sense and respond to danger signals from the body such as heart muscle and brain tissue injuries. The researchers expect to learn more about how these monocyte cells react to heart and brain tissue injury, and how the cells may then produce proteins or other chemical substances which promote the healing of heart muscle after heart attack and brain tissue after an ischemic stroke.


Description:

The research objective here is to perform a pilot study in determining the level of such monocytes in MI/stroke patients at various times after the acute ischemic event. As controls, both stable coronary disease and healthy control subjects will be enrolled in whom these circulating cells will be determined. The research objective will be accomplished via the following specific aim: The specific aim will determine the levels of P2X4 monocytes, Flt-1/VEGFR-1 and CD13 monocytes. The researchers may collect three blood samples at various time points. The samples will be collected within 48 hours of admission to the hospital, 2-14, and 30-120 days following MI/stroke. As a control, levels of P2X4, Flt-1+ (VEGFR-1+) and CD13 monocytes in age- matched healthy subjects and in SCAD subjects will be used. Additionally for CD13 monocytes, the researchers plan to test if CD13 is phosphorylated in the circulating monocytes of patients who have undergone myocardial/cerebral infarction and determine its utility as a biomarker of infarct size. Although the study is not designed to determine whether those MI/stroke patients within the top quartile of P2X4 or Flt-1+ (VEGFR-1+) or CD13 monocyte levels are more prone to develop severe tissue or organ dysfunction, the study will collect baseline and subsequent clinical data set and should position the study team to test this hypothesis in the future. The researchers might expect to show that MI/stroke patients have a higher level of P2X4, Flt-1+ (VEGFR-1+) and/or CD13 monocytes as well as circulating cytokines and metabolites as compared to SCAD and age-matched healthy controls. The researchers might also expect that thrombectomy samples from ischemic stroke patients will have higher inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory monocytes. Objectives: - To obtain blood samples from STEMI patients for determination of P2X4, Flt-1+ (VEGFR-1+) and CD13 monocyte levels as well as circulating cytokines and metabolites on the days: 1(within 48 hours of admission), 2-14, and 30-120 days after the MI. - To obtain blood samples from NSTEMI (non-ST segment elevation MI) patients for determination of P2X4, Flt-1+ (VEGFR-1+) and CD13 monocyte levels as well as circulating cytokines and metabolites on the days: 1(within 48 hours of admission hospital), 2-14, and 30-120 days after the MI. - To obtain blood samples from ischemic stroke patients for determination of P2X4, Flt-1+ (VEGFR-1+) and CD13 monocyte levels as well as circulating cytokines and metabolites on the days: 1(within 48 hours of admission), 2-14, and 30-120 days after the ischemic event. In addition, thrombectomy samples which are normally discarded, when obtained and available, will be used. - To obtain blood samples from age-matched SCAD and healthy control subjects for a one-time determination of P2X4, Flt-1+ (VEGFR-1+) and CD13 monocyte as well as circulating cytokines and metabolites levels. - To compare the levels in STEMI, NSTEMI and ischemic stroke vs. those of SCAD and healthy control subjects. Hypotheses: STEMI, NSTEMI and stroke subjects will have a higher level of P2X4, Flt-1+ (VEGFR- 1+) and CD13 monocytes than age-matched SCAD and healthy control subjects.
