Notably, a recently published study challenged these findings by showing a worse outcome of patients with acute myocardial infarction with low serum levels of IL-17A.
So we attempt to investigate the expression pattern and clonality of T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire of γδ T cells in AMI patients, analyze the expression levels of regulatory genes Foxp3 and IL-17A, and characterize the correlation between γδ T cells and the pathogenesis of AMI.
In the present study we investigated the presence of neutrophils, NETs and IL17A and -F in coronary thrombosuction specimens obtained from patients after acute myocardial infarction.
Serum levels of IL-27 in patients with AMI and UA were significantly lower than those in SA and control groups, while serum levels of IL-17 and IFN-γ in AMI and UA groups were dramatically increased compared to those in SA and healthy control groups.
In this review, we will discuss the current knowledge of the role of IL-17 in AMI and the effect of IL-17 in different cells, such as cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle cells and immune system cells, in AMI pathogenesis.
To observe the expressions of myocardial connexin43 (Cx43) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rats and investigate its possible mechanism of telmisartan in the prevention and treatment of arrhythmia in AMI.
Based on our data, we speculated that the SNP rs8193037 of IL17A gene is significantly associated with CAD risk in Chinese Han population and the rs8193037 G allele which is associated with increased expression of IL17A in AMI patients may be an independent predictive factor for CAD.
IL-17A aggravates inflammatory response during AMI by inducing macrophages infiltration and activating NLRP3 inflammasome through AMPKα/p38MAPK/ERK1/2 pathway.
