Full textThe contraction of skeletal muscle is regulated by troponin and tropomyosin in a Ca2+ dependent manner. The troponin complex consists of three subunits: troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI) and troponin T (TnT). Troponin C is the Ca2+ binding subunit, TnI is the inhibitory subunit and TnT binds tightly to tropomyosin. TnI and TnT are highly insoluble proteins at low ionic strengths, unless they are complexed with TnC. The troponin complex can be reconstituted \"in vitro\" from the isolated subunits simply by mixing the subunits at equimolar ratios in urea, which is then removed by dialysis. In the first part of this work a vector for the co-expression of TnC, TnI and TnT in E.coli was constructed. Using this vector we were able to produce a functional troponin complex assembled \"in vivo\" in the E.coli cytoplasm The presence of TnT is required for the Ca2+ dependente regulation of the skeletal muscle contraction. The role of TnT in conferring full Ca2+ sensitivity to the ATPase activity of acto-myosin was analyzed. Deletion mutants of TnT were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and expressed in E.coli. Troponin complexes containing the TnT deletion mutants and/or TnI deletion mutants, were reconstituted and analyzed in thin filament binding assays and in ATPase activity assays. Based on these studies, TnT was subdivided into three domains: the activation domain (comprised of aminoacids 1-157), the inhibitory domain (comprised of amino acids 157-216) and the TnC/TnI dimer anchoring domain (aminoacids 216-263). We demonstrated that the TnC/TnI is anchored to the thin filament through interaction between the amino-terminal domain of TnI and the region comprised of aminoacids 216-263 of TnT. A model for the role of TnT in the Ca2+ dependent regulation of muscle contraction is proposed.

Full textThe Ca2+-regulation of the actomyosin ATPase activity at physiological ratios of actin, tropomyosin and troponin occurs only in the presence of troponin T. Our group has previously demonstrated that a recombinant polypeptide corresponding to the first 191 amino acids of TnT (TnTl-191) activates the aetomyosin Mg2+-ATPase activity in the presence of tropomyosin and in the absence of TnI/TnC. In order to further map and characterize this activation domain, we constructed a set of recombinant or synthetic TnT fragments, corresponding to amino acids 1-157 (TnTl-157), 1-76 (TnTl-76), 77-57 (TnT77-157), 77-191 (TnT77-191) and 158-191 (TnT158-191). Binding assays using these fragments demonstrated that: i) amino acids 1-76 of TnT do not bind to tropomyosin or actin; ii) amino acids 158-191 bind to actin cooperatively, but not to tropomyosin; iii) the sequence 77-157 is necessary for TnT\'s interaction with residue 263 of tropomyosin; iv) TnT77-191 on its own activates de actomyosin ATPase activity to the same extent as previously described for TnTl-191. TnT1-157; TnTl-76; TnT77-157; TnT158-191 and combinations of TnT158-191 with TnTl-157 or TnT77-157 showed no effect on the ATPase activity. We conclude that interactions of amino acids 77-191 of TnT with tropomyosin and actin are essential for the activation of actomyosin ATPase activity, and that this activation may be mediated in part by a direct interaction between TnT residues 158-191 and actin.

O infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) representa hoje um dos maiores problemas de saúde mundial prevalecendo sobre doenças como câncer, AIDS e doenças respiratórias. Em virtude da relevância, métodos cada vez mais eficientes para auxilio no diagnóstico do IAM vem sendo desenvolvidos. Um destes métodos, os aptassensores, chegam como ferramenta analítica alternativa para detecção de marcadores de necrose miocárdica. Neste trabalho um aptassensor simples e livre de marcação foi desenvolvido para detecção de troponina T cardíaca (cTnT), para isto, nanopartículas de prata foram sintetizadas eletroquimicamente sobre eletrodos impressos de tinta de carbono. Em seguida, 5 μL de cisteína foi adicionada à superfície sensora com intuito de servir de braço químico e possibilitar a imobilização do aptâmero. O aptâmero usado consiste em DNA fita simples modificado com grupos amino (NH2-ssDNA) e específico para o analito em questão. As condições ideais para imobilização do aptâmero e reconhecimento da molécula alvo, assim como a caracterização eletroquímica do aptassensor, foram investigados através das técnicas de voltametria cíclica (CV) e voltametria de pulso diferencial (DPV). A especificidade do aptassensor foi investigada utilizando para isso moléculas alvo específicas e inespecíficas. O reconhecimento do alvo apresentou alta sensibilidade com limite de detecção em 0,1 ng mL−1 de cTnT e uma boa reprodutibilidade (CV = 4%). O sensor também foi testado com amostras de soro humano, apresentando ótima concordância (95% de nível de confiança) com o padrão ouro, o método ECLIA. Neste trabalho pôde-se constatar que as nanopartículas de prata incorporadas a superfície eletródica melhoraram a reprodutibilidade, a condutividade e, consequentemente a resposta sensora, enquanto os aptâmeros asseguraram a sensibilidade e especificidade do aptasensor, apresentando, este modelo, grande potencial para uso no monitoramento dos níveis séricos de troponina cardíaca.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) it is one of the most serious diseases in the world responsible for approximately 17 million of deaths in 2012. Therefore, early diagnosis and prompt medical response are of paramount importance for patient survival. Aptasensors can be an alternative, which in combination with electrochemical techniques can provide the simplicity and speed required. A simple and sensitive label-free aptasensor for cardiac troponin T (cTnT) detection was successfully developed. For this purpose, it was chosen a DNA aptamers modified with amino group (NH2-ssDNA) specific to bind cTnT with a high specificity and stability. Herein, silver nanoparticles electrochemically synthesized and cysteine were used to modify the electrode, providing binding sites for aptamer immobilization. The optimum conditions for immobilization of the aptamer and target recognition were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique. The aptasensor achieved a low limit of detection (0.3 ng mL−1) and a linear range between 0.1 and 10 ng mL−1 cTnT, significant for acute myocardial infarction diagnosis. Good reproducibility was obtained by the proposed aptasensor supported by a coefficient of variation of 4%. The silver nanoparticles incorporated to the electrode surface improved the reproducibility, while the aptamer secured the sensitivity of the biosensor. The sensor was also tested for human serum samples presenting a good agreement with the ECLIA methods at 95% confident level. This point-of-care approach presents a great potential for use in several situations releasing the aptasensor for use in the cardiac troponin detection.

A troponina T (TnT) é um marcador cardíaco considerado "padrão ouro" para o diagnóstico do infarto agudo do miocárdio, devido a sua alta sensibilidade e especificidade. Métodos analíticos para melhorar o diagnóstico desta doença são importantes para o tratamento adequado dos pacientes. Atualmente, as técnicas baseadas em imunoensaios são as mais utilizadas para diagnóstico clínico e determinação da TnT à beira do leito. Entretanto, apresentam algumas limitações como procedimentos complicados para análise e um elevado tempo de espera do resultado. Neste contexto, os imunossensores surgem como uma atrativa ferramenta, de baixo custo, com alta sensibilidade e especificidade para determinação da TnT. Nesta tese, dois diferentes imunossensores eletroquímicos foram desenvolvidos para a detecção da TnT em soro humano. O primeiro imunossensor foi baseado em um método simples de amino-funcionalização de nanotubos de carbono empregado para promover uma imobilização dos anticorpos anti-TnT através de sua região Fc e sua ligação orientada ao antígeno TnT. Os nanotubos de carbono de múltiplas paredes foram amino-funcionalizados utilizando o reagente etilenodiamina e os ensaios foram realizados através de um estudo fatorial associado com uma matriz de Doehlert. As modificações estruturais dos nanotubos de carbono foram confirmadas através da espectroscopia de infravermelho por transformada de Fourrier. Para detecção eletroquímica deste imunossensor, eletrodos impressos descartáveis de carbono foram utilizados e então modificados com estes nanotubos de carbono amino-funcionalizados. Um imunoensaio tipo "sanduíche" foi realizado, no qual a captura específica da TnT foi avaliada através das reações redox da enzima peroxidase conjugada ao segundo anticorpo anti-TnT. Sob condições experimentais otimizadas, uma curva de calibração para as diferentes concentrações de TnT foi obtida com faixa linear de resposta entre 0,02 e 0,32 ng mL-1 (r=0,985, n=5, p<0.001) e um limite de detecção de 0,016 ng mL-1. O segundo imunossensor foi baseado na formação de um filme polimérico sobre um eletrodo de carbono vítreo para imobilização de anticorpos anti-TnT. O ácido orto-aminobenzóico (o-ABA) foi eletropolimerizado sobre a superfície do eletrodo e empregado para fornecer grupamentos carboxílicos à superfície e permitir a ligação covalente de anticorpos anti-TnT. O eletrodo apresentou-se estável mantendo 91,6% da sua resposta inicial após 18 dias e apresentou um limite de detecção de 0,015 ng mL-1 de TnT. Os imunossensores desenvolvidos foram sensíveis, permitindo medidas confiáveis da TnT para o diagnóstico do infarto agudo do miocárdio na clínica médica.

Full textThe hypothesis of this study was the determination of PIGF as a marker of angiogenesis, IL-6 as a marker of inflammation and ultrasensitive copeptin as a marker of endogenous stress may help improve diagnostic and prognostic accuracy of acute coronary syndrome. The objectives of this study were: 1. To characterize patients presenting with chest pain consistent by myocardial ischemia and negative Tn-hs to the emergency room of the hospital. 1.1 To evaluate the usefulness of clinical variables in the diagnosis and prognosis of these patients. 2. Studying the values of IL-6, ultrasensitive copeptin and PIGF in these patients. 2.1. Compare values of different biomarkers in patients with stable angina and patients with chest pain without evidence of ischemia. 2.2. To study the association of demographic and clinical characteristics with the biomarkers in these patients. 2.3 To study the influence of renal function on different biomarkers. 3 Assess whether the measurement of biomarkers IL-6, PIGF and ultrasensitive copeptin in such patients, improve the diagnostic accuracy of unstable angina. 4 To determine the prognostic influence on the occurrence of adverse events of biomarkers analyzed in patients with chest pain and negative Tn-hs. This is a prospective and longitudinal study involving patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain and suspected ACS in the Universitary Hospital Virgen de la Arrixaca, Murcia. Patients were collected in the period from November 2009 to May 2013 and samples were processed in the laboratory of Clinical Analysis of the University Hospital Virgen de la Arrixaca, Murcia. The total population included in the study was 287 patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain of suspected cardiac origin without major electrocardiographic changes or elevation of Tn. Of these, 229 were classified as patients with chest pain without evidence of ischemia and 58 as patients with unstable angina. For the purposes of this study, we included the measurement of interleukin-6 (IL-6), placental growth factor (PIGF) and ultrasensitive copeptin in the sample taken from the patient at the admission and after 4-6 hours. Conclusion 1: Patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain suggestive of ischemia and normal ultrasensitive troponin T are not free of risk of event at follow-up, highlighting the need for risk stratification strategy for this group of patients. In this population, the diabetes, the maximum heart rate obtained from the stress test and the presence of two or more episodes of angina in the 24 hours prior to admission were shown to be predictors of the diagnosis of unstable angina. The presence of coronary disease in patients with chest pain and ultrasensitive troponin T standard is independently associated with the occurrence of adverse events at follow-up. Conclusion 2: In patients with unstable angina, IL-6 and high sensitivity copeptin have higher serum concentrations than patients with chest pain without evidence of ischemia. Copeptin ultrasensitive has a pattern of release different at the rest of the biomarkers studied, showing a peak in the first hours after the onset of ischemic symptoms suggestive although troponin is not high. The values of IL-6 were higher in patients older than 65 years, hypertension and with three or more cardiovascular risk factors. Copeptin ultrasensitive values were higher in men. For PIGF, higher values occurred in patients older than 65 years, hypertension and non smokers. Kidney function is better in non-hypertensive patients and smokers. A negative correlation of the values obtained from the equations of kidney function with the values of observed biomarkers. Conclusion 3: A multimarker strategy defined by IL-6 and ultrasensitive copeptin was shown to be an independent predictor of diagnosis of AI in our population. Conclusion 4: In patients with suspected ACS, only the determination of ultrasensitive copeptin was independently associated with the occurrence of adverse events defined as unstable angina, or death from any cause.

Full textObjective: To evaluate the reliability of fetal heart rate parameters analyzed by computerized cardiotocography (cCTG) and fetal Doppler to predict myocardial damage and acidemia at birth in pregnancies complicated by placental insufficiency. Methods: Forty nine patients with placental insufficiency (abnormal umbilical artery Doppler - pulsatility index [PI] > p95) diagnosed between 26-34 weeks of gestation were prospectively studied. All patients were submitted to Dopplervelocimetry of umbilical artery, middle cerebral artery and ductus venosus and to the cCTG (Sonicaid Fetal Care, version 2.2; 30 minutes of duration). We analyzed the last fetal assessment 48h before delivery and prior to steroid therapy.Umbilical cord blood samples were collected at birth to detect acidemia (pH < 7.20) and myocardial damage (cTnT >= 0.09 ng/ml). The results of cTnT were available in 38 cases and in 46 cases we had the pH values. Results: Fifteen (39.5%) newborns had cTnT >= 0.09 ng/ml and 20 (43.5%) had a pH < 7.20. Fetuses who developed acidemia had fewer fetal movements per hour in cCTG (median 2 vs. 15, P=0.019). There was a positive correlation between pH and the number of fetal movements per hour (rho 0.35, P=0.019) and basal fetal heart rate (rho 0.37, P=0.011), and a negative correlation between pH and the zscore of pulsatility index for veins (PIV) of ductus venosus (rho= -0.31, P=0.036). The logistic regression analysis identified the z-score of PIV of ductus venosus (P=0.023) and basal fetal heart rate (P=0.040) as independent variables associated with acidemia at birth. The occurrence of fetal myocardial injury was significantly associated with z-score of PI of umbilical artery (median 8.8 vs. 4.0, P=0.003), PIV of ductus venosus (median 2.6 vs. -1.4, P=0.007), basal fetal heart rate (median 146 vs. 139 bpm, P=0.033), number of accelerations between 10-15 bpm (median 0 vs. 1, P=0.013), duration of episodes of low variation (median 21 vs. 10 min, P=0.038) and short-term variation (STV) (median 3.7 vs. 6.1 ms, P=0.003). We observed a positive correlation between the value of cTnT in the umbilical cord and basal fetal heart rate (rho=0.33, P=0.042), and a negative correlation between cTnT and STV (rho=-0.37, P=0.021). Logistic regression identified the STV as an independent predictor for myocardial damage (P=0.01), and STV <= 4.3 ms was the best cutoff to predict the event (sensitivity 66.7% and specificity of 91.3%). Conclusion: In pregnancies with placental insufficiency detected before the 34th week of gestation, the PIV of ductus venosus and basal fetal heart rate analyzed by cCTG are independent variables associated with acidemia at birth; and the STV is the parameter that best predicts fetal myocardial injury. The cCTG is an important tool in the management of fetuses with placental insufficiency, especially when associated with other diagnostic methods such as Doppler

Full textBACKGROUND: Approximately 10% of patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) suffer from refractory angina, a chronic condition caused by coronary insufficiency which cannot be controlled by a combination of medical therapy, angioplasty and coronary bypass surgery. The predictors of cardiovascular events in this growing group of patients are limited. High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assays are valuable biomarkers that may be used to determine the prognosis of patients with stable CAD, but there is no evidence that this ability would be retained in individuals with more severe and extensive disease, as is the case in refractory angina. The aims of this study are to evaluate the effectiveness of a maximally tolerated medical therapy, the predictors of death and nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), as well as the role of hs-cTnT as a prognostic tool in this setting. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 117 consecutive patients (83 men, 62.7 ± 9.4 years) in this study between October 2008 and September 2013. All patients had angina as classified by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) II to IV at their first visit, and evidence of myocardial ischemia via any stress test. A heart team ruled out myocardial revascularization feasibility after assessing recent coronary angiograms. Optimal medical therapy was up-titrated over three months. Patients were followed every 6 months via outpatient visits; plasma hs-cTnT levels were determined at baseline and after three months. The primary endpoint was the composite incidence of death and nonfatal MI. RESULTS: There were high prevalence of three-vessel CAD (75.2%), angina CCS class III or IV (60.7%) and history of previous myocardial revascularization (91.5%); most of the patients had preserved left ventricular function (61.5%). Hs-cTnT values were either at or above the limit of detection (3 ng/L) in 79.5% of patients and we noted concentrations either at or greater than the 99th percentile of healthy individuals (14 ng/L) in 27.4% of patients. The independent predictors of higher concentrations of hs-cTnT were as follows: left ventricular dysfunction, no calcium channel blocker use at baseline, elevated systolic blood pressure and reduced glomerular filtration rate. The improvement of at least one CCS functional class occurred in 50% of patients (P < 0.001) and 25.9% were free from angina or were CCS I after three months of medical therapy. There was a significant reduction in the number of angina attacks (P < 0.001) and a reduction in short-acting nitrate consumption (P = 0.029). There was no reduction in hs-cTnT levels after the three-month medical therapy optimization. During a median follow-up period of 28.0 months (interquartile range, 18.0 to 47.5 months), an estimated 28.0-month cumulative event rate of 13.4% (5.8% for allcause death) was determined via the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate predictors of the composite endpoint were as follows: hs-cTnT levels and left ventricular dysfunction. Following a multivariate analysis via a Cox proportional-hazards regression model, only hs-cTnT was independently associated with the events in question, either as a continuous variable (HR per unit increase in the natural logarithm, 2.83; 95% CI, 1.62 to 4.92; P < 0.001) or as a categorical variable (HR for concentrations above the 99th percentile, 5.14; 95% CI, 2.05 to 12.91; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In patients initially diagnosed with refractory angina, the optimal medical therapy protocol was well tolerated and effective in reducing the symptoms of angina in most patients. However, such clinical improvement was not accompanied by a decrease in plasma concentrations of high-sensitivity troponin T, a biomarker that our study identified as the strongest predictor of death and nonfatal myocardial infarction in patients with refractory angina. The incidence of cardiovascular events in this study was lower than that previously reported, leading to outcomes approaching those of patients with complex coronary artery disease who are suitable for myocardial revascularization

As determinações da troponina cardíaca T (TnT) podem contribuir para o diagnóstico e tratamento de infarto agudo do miocárdio e para a estratificação dos riscos dos pacientes com síndromes coronárias agudas no que respeita ao risco relativo de mortalidade. Neste trabalho, um sistema de microbalança de quartzo por injeção de fluxo baseado na alteração de freqüência elétrica em resposta à ligação antígeno-anticorpo foi empregado para determinação da TnT cardíaca. As variações de freqüências foram registradas por um contador de freqüência acoplado a um microcomputador. O anticorpo monoclonal específico foi imobilizado sobre a superfície de um eletrodo de cristal de quartzo por ligação irreversível via monocamadas auto-organizadas. O adsorbato composto por filme de alcanotiól foi formado incubando uma solução de 2-aminoetanotiol (cisteamina) por 2 h, seguido por glutaraldeído a 2,5% (v/v). Em seguida, anticorpos monoclonais anti- troponina T (anti-TnT) foram covalentemente imobilizados sobre o eletrodo de ouro do cristal de quartzo e foi usada uma solução de glicina (10mM) como agente bloqueante. Com o imunossensor desenvolvido foi possivel medir concentrações de troponina T com limite de detecção de 0,025 ng/mL. A superfície do sensor pode ser regenerada por injeção de uma solução do dodecil-sulfato de sódio 1% (p/v). A determinação da TnT foi realizada em amostras de soros humanos permitindo seu uso nas aplicações clínicas para diagnóstico do IAM

Diversos imunoensaios vem sendo empregados na rotina laboratorial para dosagem das troponinas cardíacas, devido a sua alta sensibilidade e especificidade no diagnóstico do infarto agudo do miocárdio. Entretanto, estes métodos apresentam significativas limitações para diagnóstico à beira do leito de pacientes infartados de modo prático, rápido e seguro. Dessa forma, os imunossensores eletroquímicos surgem como uma importante ferramenta analítica. O objetivo deste trabalho foi desenvolver um imunossensor eletroquímico baseado em um filme nanoestruturado de pirrol-2-carboxílico e nanotubos de haloisita para detecção de níveis clínicos da troponina T cardíaca humana. O eletrodo de carbono vítreo foi submetido à eletropolimerização do pirrol-2-carboxílico (0,01 M). Os grupos carboxílicos derivados do filme de pirrol na superfície sensora foram ativados e em seguida incubados com uma solução de nanotubos de haloisita funcionalizados com grupos amina (5 mg/mL). Para imobilização dos anticorpos anti-troponina T, o eletrodo de carbono foi previamente incubado com uma solução de glutaraldeído (5%). Os sítios ativos remanescentes do eletrodo foram bloqueados com uma solução de glicina. A caracterização do imunossensor foi realizada usando as técnicas de voltametria cíclica e de pulso diferencial. A eletrossíntese do pirrol-2-carboxílico foi otimizada utilizando o perclorato de lítio como contra-íon na eletrossíntese do polímero, sob a velocidade de polimerização de 20 mV/s. O filme nanoestruturado de pirrol-2-carboxílico (0,01 M) e nanotubos de haloisita (5 mg/mL) apresentou uma estabilidade cinco vezes maior quando comparado ao estudo controle (sem pirrol-2-carboxílico). Ensaios para padronização da concentração do anticorpo anti-troponina T imobilizado e tempo de interação antígeno-anticorpo foram realizados e otimizados na concentração de 5 μg/mL e 60 min, respectivamente. Uma curva de calibração foi obtida para as diferentes concentrações de cTnT utilizando a técnica de voltametria de onda quadrada. O imunossensor proposto apresentou uma boa linearidade com r=0,996 (p << 0,001; n = 6) e limite de detecção de 0,008 ng/mL. O filme nanohíbrido de pirrol-2-carboxílico e nanotubos de haloisita para detecção eletroquímica da troponina T demonstrou propriedades desejáveis, tais como estabilidade, reprodutibilidade e sensibilidade.

Full textBackground: Chest pain suggestive of myocardial ischemia is a very common chief complaint in the Emergency Department. However, myocardial ischemia is ruled out in the majority of these cases. It is necessary to optimize the diagnostic management of chest pain. A rise and/or fall (Δ value) in levels in cTn is obligatory criteria for the diagnosis of NSTEMI. The development and introduction of new immunoassay (hs-cTnT) have changed the diagnostic approach of NSTEMI. This immunoassay not only facilitates early diagnosis of NSTEMI, but it also allows the diagnosis of small size NSTEMI. This immunoassay is highly specific tool for diagnosing myocardial injury; however, they do not identify the cause of myocardial injury. As a consequence, hs-cTnT can be elevated in many situations different of a thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery. It is recommended the implementation of algorithms based on hs-cTnT for the early diagnosis of NSTEMI, although there are unresolved questions about its use: Implementation of rapid diagnostic algorithms for NSTEMI. Best moment for sample collection. Optimal Δ value (absolute or relative) for NSTEMI diagnosis. Objectives: To validate an algorithm for early exclusion of acute myocardial infarction diagnosis. To evaluate the best moment to sample collection and to determine the optimal kinetic change for the diagnosis of NSTEMI. Methods: Prospective cohort enrolled in an emergency department of a university hospital. Sample collection were obtained at study inclusion, and at 1 hour, 2 hours and >4 hours Results: Determination 0->4hours has a better diagnostic performance than 0-1h or 0-2h (p>0.05). In this interval, there is no difference between relative and absolute Δ values (p=0.36). The use of an algorithm 0->4h with absolute or relative Δ values allows to exclude NSTEMI (Sensitivity 100%). The use of an algorithm 0-1h generates a group of patients who require additional criteria to confirm or exclude NSTEMI. Conclusions: Using an algorithm with 0->4h with absolute or relative Δ value allows to exclude NSTEMI. In selected cases, it is possible to confirm or exclude the diagnosis with a single sample. In some situations, it can be useful an algorithm with 0-1h with absolute Δ value. These algorithms cannot be used to discharge patients without NSTEMI. Some of these cases are unstable anginas and require additional tests for diagnosis.

A presente tese descreve o desenvolvimento de sensores eletroquímicos para imunoensaios empregando a tecnologia de eletrodos impressos com a finalidade de detectar a troponina T cardíaca, o marcador mais específico, atualmente, do infarto agudo do miocárdio. Um dos desafios na confecção de sensores eletroquímicos para imunoensaios é alcançar baixos limites de detecção. Nanomateriais de carbono são, recentemente, considerados excelentes estratégias no preparo de superfícies sensoras devido às suas excelentes propriedades, tais como rápida transferência elétrica e atividade catalítica, aumento da relação superfície/volume e, consequentemente, maior quantidade de biomoléculas imobilizadas. Nesta tese, nanotubos de carbono e grafeno foram utilizados sob diferentes abordagens para modificação de superfícies eletródicas. Um imunossensor baseado em eletrodos serigrafados obtidos pela impressão de filmes de nanotubos de carbono amino funcionalizados incorporados em tinta de carbono foi desenvolvido para detecção “livre de marcação”. Os grupos amino dos nanotubos expostos na interface sensora impressa foram utilizados para imobilização orientada dos anticorpos monoclonais anti-troponina T. Os nanofilmes impressos apresentaram uma excelente estabilidade e reprodutibilidade, exibindo um desvio padrão relativo (DP) menor que ~2% (n = 8), comparado com controle (DP ~9%, n = 8). A resposta analítica do sensor, obtida por voltametria de pulso diferencial, apresentou uma faixa linear entre 0,0025 e 0,5 ng/mL de troponina T (r = 0,995; p<0,0001; n=7), combinado a um baixo erro relativo (<<1%) e limite de detecção de 0,0035 ng/mL. Com o propósito de substituir os anticorpos anti-troponina T, visto que estes constituem parte onerosa do dispositivo, um sensor biomimético foi desenvolvido a partir de uma superfície nanoestruturada de grafeno e polipirrol. A técnica de impressão biomimética em superfície (“surface imprinting”) foi utilizada como estratégia para simplificar e reduzir em uma única etapa a produção das cavidades biomiméticas. Estas foram obtidas através da eletropolimerização do polipirrol e derivados copoliméricos orgânicos mimetizando grupos proteicos amino-reativos. As respostas analíticas do sensor foram geradas por voltametria de pulso diferencial, exibindo uma faixa linear de resposta variando de 0,01 a 0,1 ng/mL de troponina T (r = 0,9953; p<0,0001; n=5) e um limite de detecção de 0,006 ng/mL, mostrando um ótimo desempenho do sensor biomimético. As cavidades biomiméticas apresentaram uma constante de dissociação (KD) de 7,3 10- 13 mol/L, indicando boa afinidade à troponina quando comparadas com o sensor controle (sem troponina T), KD igual a 11,6 10-13 mol/L. Em conclusão, ambas as plataformas sensoras mostram potencial para detecção da troponina T em níveis de importância clínica no diagnóstico do infarto agudo, constituindo testes de pronto atendimento para emergências cardiológicas.
This thesis describes the development of electrochemical sensors for immunoassay by using a screen-printed electrodes technology in order to detect the human cardiac troponin T, the most important marker currently of the acute myocardial infarction. One of the challenges in the manufacturing of electrochemical sensors for immunoassays is to reach low limits of detection. Carbon nanomaterials are recently considered excellent strategies in preparing sensing surfaces due to theirs excellent properties, such as rapid electrical transfer and catalytic activity, increase surface / volume ratio and, consequently, offering higher amount of immobilized biomolecules. In this thesis, carbon nanotubes and graphene were used under different approaches in order to modify the sensors surfaces. An immunosensor based on screen printed electrode obtained by printing of amino functionalized carbon nanotubes films incorporated into carbon ink has been developed for "label-free" detection. The amino groups exposed on the imprinted sensor interface were utilized for oriented immobilization of the monoclonal antibody anti-troponin T. The imprinted nanofilms showed an excellent stability and reproducibility, exhibiting a relative standard deviation (RSD) less than ~2% (n = 8) compared to control (RSD ~9%, n = 8). The analytical response of the sensor, obtained by differential pulse voltammetry, showed a linear range between 0.0025 and 0.5 ng/mL (r = 0.995; p <0.0001, n = 7), combined with a low relative error (<< 1 %) and a calculated limit of detection of 0.0035 ng/mL. In order to replace the anti-troponin T antibody, since these are costly part of the device, a biomimetic sensor was developed from a nanostructured surface of graphene and polypyrrole. The biomimetic technique of surface imprinting was used as a strategy for simplify and reduce in a one-step production of the biomimetic cavities. These were obtained by electropolymerization of the pyrrole and its organic copolymers mimicking amino reactive protein groups. The analytical responses of the sensor were obtained by differential pulse voltammetry, exhibiting a linear range response in 0.01 and 0.1 ng/mL of troponin T (r = 0.9953; p <0.0001, n = 5) and a limit of detection of 0.006 ng/mL, showing a good performance of the biomimetic sensor. The biomimetic sites exhibited a dissociation constant (KD) of 7.3 10-13 mol/L, indicating a good affinity to troponin when compared to its control (without troponin T), KD equal to 11.6 10-13 mol/L. In conclusion, both sensor platform the sensor platforms showed a potential for troponin T detection in levels of clinical important for acute myocardial infarction diagnostic, constituting point-of-care testing for cardiac emergency departments.

Full textINTRODUCTION: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) may cause heart damage in up to 45% of patients. Congestive cardiac failure may occur in 3,9% of adults with rheumatoid arthritis. It is described in literature, that some patients may presente with heart failure due to anti- TNF therapy. There is no data regarding cardiovascular safety in JIA patients. OBJECTIVE: To perform global assessment of long-term cardiac function in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients under TNF blockage therapy. METHODS: 25 polyarticular-course JIA patients pre-anti-TNF and 22 healthy controls underwent conventional/tissue Doppler echocardiography and cardiac biomarkers measurements [N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) and troponin T] at baseline (BL). Twenty-one JIA patients completed six evaluations during two consecutive years. Clinical/laboratorial evaluations were assessed before and during TNF blockage therapy. RESULTS: JIA patients and controls were comparable regarding current age (p=0.898) and female gender (p=0.38). At BL isovolumetric relaxation time of left ventricle (p=0.03), ventricular septum velocity (VS), E\' wave (p=0.014) and VS S wave (p=0.03) were significantly reduced in JIA patients compared to controls. Frequencies of elevated NT-pro-BNP and troponin T levels were similar in JIA and controls (p=0.297 and p=0.756) and levels remained within normal range throughout the study, except for one patient with mild troponin T elevation. During TNF blockage therapy, none of the 21 participants had heart failure, ejection fraction or other parameters alterations in conventional and tissue Doppler. Only one had mild pulmonary hypertension. Further analysis revealed that JIA patients with elevated levels of NT-pro-BNP at BL had significantly more active joints (p=0.025), higher ESR (p=0.034) and higher JADAS-27 (p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS: Long-term TNF blockage safety was demonstrated in JIA patients in spite of the observed subclinical diastolic involvement. Elevated cardiac biomarker in these patients was associated with inflammatory parameters reinforcing the need for a careful interpretation of this finding in patients with active disease

Full textIt was investigate prospectively the histopathological myocardial remodeling in children submitted to surgical repair of Fallot\'s tetralogy, in order to detect possible factors associated to postoperative (PO) echocardiographic findings of systolic or diastolic ventricular dysfunction. Patients and Methods: 23 consecutive Fallot patients (14 males), aged 12 to 186 months (mean=39.6, median=23 months) were enrolled in the study. Tissue Doppler echocardiographic analysis (isovolumic acceleration-IVA, systolic myocardial velocity-S\' and early diastolic myocardial velocity-E\') was performed in three moments for both ventricles: before surgery, within the first three postoperative days and later, between the 30th and 90th PO days. During surgery, besides the anomalous infundibular bands resected, subendocardial biopsy samples from the right ventricular (RV) inflow tract and of the left ventricle (LV), through the ventricular septal defect, were obtained for histopathological morphometric evaluation: degree of cell hypertrophy, interstitial collagen (Sirius-red) and capillarity (immunohistochemistry against Factor-VIII). Troponin-T levels were measured before and after surgery. The electrocardiogram performed before and after surgery, some clinical features and previous use propranolol were considered. This study was approved by the Ethical Committee of our Institution. Results: the right ventricular cardyomyocytes showed a significant hypertrophy. The interstitial collagen was increase in both right and left ventricle. The capillary area fraction did not differ among the biopsy samples analyzed. IVA of the RV decreased significantly at the third echocardiographic evaluation (p=0.006) and correlated negatively with the diameter of the RV cardyomyocytes (r= -0.59; p=0.006). E\' measured at the RV decreased significantly in both PO periods (p<0.001) and showed a significant negative correlation with the percentage of interstitial myocardial collagen (r=-0.525; p=0,044). Troponin-T levels increased postoperatively in all patients (27.7 ±18,6ng/ml and 15.9+11.3ng/ml - second and third PO days) and correlated positively with the cardiopulmonary bypass and cross clamping times (p=0.019 and 0.018 respectively). The QRS interval increased significantly in the PO period. The patients in whom the PO electrocardiogram showed an increase of the QRS greater than 40ms, showed a greater interstitial collagen area fraction in the right ventricle inflow tract. Conclusions: Myocardial remodeling present preoperatively, as judged by the morphometric histopathological evaluation of cell hypertrophy and interstitial collagen, influenced respectively the medium term PO systolic and diastolic right ventricular function of repaired Fallot patients.

Full textLa muerte súbita representa dos tercios de las necropsias en medicina forense y las enfermedades cardiovasculares constituyen la primera causa de muerte. La isquemia miocárdica representa el 13,2 %; cuando esta es precoz, hay un plazo de tiempo corto, posterior al evento isquémico donde el diagnóstico de cambios morfológicos puede no existir o son demasiado sutiles para ser reconocidos. La troponina es un marcado de necrosis miocárdica. Objetivo: Valorar el uso del marcador inmunohistoquímico Troponina T (TnT), en el diagnóstico de infarto reciente de miocardio. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio de tipo analítico, transversal y prospectivo de las necropsias realizadas en la División de Tanatología Forense. Se tomaron muestras de 40 corazones, procedentes de autopsias, 30 casos sospechosos de muerte súbita por infarto de miocardio, que cumplen con criterios de inclusión establecidos y diez casos positivos, aquellos con diagnóstico macroscópico de infarto agudo de miocardio con ruptura cardíaca. Resultados. De 40 casos, 34 (85%) correspondió a varones; la edad media fue de 44,1 años, en el grupo de casos sospechosos, la edad promedio en varones fue 43,1 años y la de mujeres fue de 50,5 años, el peso promedio del corazón en varones fue de 407,7g y el de mujeres, de 368,8g; se determinó cardiomegalia en el 93,3% (28) de los casos y en el 100% de los casos positivos de infarto. El índice de masa corporal promedio es el sobrepeso. En el análisis de concordancia entre los resultados de la tinción Troponina T y la tinción Hematoxilina eosina, para los casos sospechosos de infarto de miocardio, se obtiene índice Kappa (0.21), con un p de 0.03 al 95% de IC. Conclusiones. Existe concordancia entre los resultados del marcador cardíaco TnT y la hematoxilina eosina para el diagnóstico de muerte súbita por infarto de miocardio, siendo mayor el valor diagnóstico de TnT.

Full textIntrodu??o: O dano mioc?rdico na doen?a de Chagas resulta tanto da a??o parasit?ria quanto da resposta imune do hospedeiro humano. O mimetismo molecular entre prote?nas do Trypanosoma cruzi e v?rios ant?genos do hospedeiro tem sido amplamente descrito gerando c?lulas T CD8+ e anticorpos autorreativos. Entretanto, a gera??o dos autoanticorpos e seu papel na imunopatogenia da doen?a de Chagas ainda n?o t?m sido elucidados, o que nos levou, neste trabalho, a avaliar a produ??o de imunoglobulina G total (IgGt) e seus isotipos anti-T. cruzi, prote?nas card?acas e sua poss?vel associa??o com as diferentes formas cl?nicas da doen?a de Chagas. M?todos: A produ??o de IgGt e isotipos foi mensurada pelo m?todo de ELISA no soro de pacientes com as formas cl?nicas indeterminada (IND, n=72), card?aca (CARD, n=47) e digestiva/cardio-digestiva (DIG/CARD-DIG, n=12) da doen?a de Chagas, usando como ant?genos as formas epimastigota e tripomastigota do T. cruzi e prote?nas card?acas humana (miosina e troponina T). As amostras de indiv?duos n?o infectados saud?veis (CONT, n= 30) e pacientes com cardiomiopatia isqu?mica (ISCH, n=15) foram usadas como controle. Os t?tulos de autoanticorpos foram correlacionados com par?metros da fun??o card?aca obtidos por exames eletrocardiogr?ficos, radiogr?ficos e ecocardiogr?ficos. Resultados: Neste estudo foram inclu?dos 131 indiv?duos sem diferen?a significativa relativa ? idade ou sexo. Destes, 55% foram classificados como IND, 35,9% CARD e 9,1% DIG/CARD-DIG. Os t?tulos de IgGt foram mais elevados em pacientes com as formas cl?nicas IND, CARD e DIG/CARD-DIG do que em indiv?duos CONT e ISCH usando os ant?genos as formas tripomastigotas e epimastigotas do T. cruzi e, prote?nas card?acas humanas. Os pacientes com formas cl?nicas CARD e DIG/CARD-DIG mostraram a produ??o mais elevada de IgG total dirigida contra ant?genos de tripomastigota e epimastigota do que os IND. Os grupos de pacientes IND e CARD apresentaram uma similar produ??o de IgG total espec?fica direcionada ? miosina e troponina T, e mais elevada do que em indiv?duos CONT e ISCH. H? uma correla??o negativa entre a produ??o de anticorpos anti-prote?nas card?acas com a fra??o de eje??o do ventr?culo esquerdo (FEVE) em pacientes chag?sicos cr?nicos. Os pacientes foram agrupados em baixo e alto produtores de autoanticorpos e comparados com a fra??o de eje??o demonstrando que em pacientes alto produtores de anti-troponina T (p=0.042) e miosina (p=0.013) a FEVE foi mais baixa do que os baixo produtores. A maioria dos pacientes chag?sicos produz simultaneamente autoanticorpos direcionados ? ambas prote?nas card?acas (r=0.9508, p=0.0001). Conclus?es: Estes resultados indicam que os autoanticorpos anti- troponina T e miosina card?aca parecem induzir redu??o FEVE e deve ser associado com o desenvolvimento de cardiomiopatia chag?sica

Full textThe high thrombotic risk determines the atrial fibrillation morbi-mortality. Oral anticoagulation results in stroke and mortality prevention, at the expense of bleeding-related risk. These risks are highly heterogeneous, reason why patients are stratified according to risk scores, refined by specific biomarkers. In order to evaluate their prognostic value, we recruited consecutive patients, steady on oral anticoagulation, in whom CHA2DS2-VASc and HAS-BLED scores were calculated. In addition levels of high sensitivity troponin T and interleukin 6 (hsTnT and hsIL6 respectively) were determined, and the ankle brachial index (ABI) measured. The CHA2DS2-VASc score predicts cardiovascular events and mortality; HAS-BLED score is not only useful to assess bleeding risk but also shows predictive value for cardiovascular events and mortality. In addition levels of both hsTnT and hsIL6 provided prognostic information, improving the integrated discrimination index of both scores. Abnormal ABI was an independent predictor for all-cause mortality and major bleeding.

Full textThree studies with respect to the biochemical evaluation of acute coronary syndromes were undertaken : (1) The clinical application of biochemical markers for diagnosis and risk stratification in patients with acute coronary syndroms. (2) The value of cardiac troponins under different physiological and pathophysiological conditions. (3) Experimental transient myocardial ischemia in an animal model with respect to the question, whether elevation of cardiac troponins in plasma perhaps occur after reversible myocardial damage. The clinical appilication of cardiac markers is sufficiently possible following actual guidelines and should include cardiac troponin measurement. The troponin test-system has to be evaluated in clinical studies with respect to its diagnostic and prognostic properties. In this study significant differences between two cardiac troponin I test-systems could be shown. The differences were below clinical relevance. Mild to moderate elevations of cardiac troponin T in patients with acute coronary syndromes and low grade Braunwald class angina are of prognostic value and add on information obtained by history and ECG. Cardiac troponins may be found elevated in apparently healthy athletes after exhaustive exercise. The prognostic significance of these findings remains unclear. Cardiac troponins are frequently elevated in renal insufficiency patients without cardiac symptoms. These elevations had no prognostic value in our study. The experimental data suggest that troponins are released in reversible myocardial damage during transient ischemia. This adds evidence on the continuous release hypothesis of cardiac troponins and degradation products. The future development of guidelines for the use of cardiac markers in daily routine will strictly depend on therapeutic consequences which base on the analytical results in the sense of evidence based medicine.

Full textAll of the initially identified disease-causing genes in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) encoded proteins of the cytoskeleton. Therefore DCM has been termed a disease of the cytoskeleton. In hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) more than 250 mutations in nine sarcomeric protein genes have been identified so far. Therefore HCM has been termed a disease of the sarcomere. However, in the last few years this concept has been queried by findings of mutations in sarcomeric protein genes in DCM. According to this consideration we screened the sarcomeric protein genes beta-MHC and troponin T in 46 patients with DCM. Systematic mutation screening was done using SSCP analysis and DNA sequencing. In the beta-MHC gene we identified the two missense mutations Ala223Thr and Ser642Leu in two young patients. Both mutations were neither found in 136 HCM patients nor in 88 controls. Using the Editor for Structural Alignment of Proteins (STRAP) the mutations were projected onto the protein structure of myosin. Ala223Thr turned out to be localized in the upper 50 kDa domain and Ser642Leu in the actin-myosin-interface region. The exchange from alanine to threonine might alter the spatial structure of the protein, decrease its thermostability and affect the protein folding and thus the protein motility. Closely to Ser642Leu the DCM-associated mutation Ser532Pro is located in the actin-myosin-interface region. By a decrease in force production both mutations might cause DCM. Furthermore we identified the two silent mutations IVS11+23A>T and Asp376Asp and six polymorphisms. In the troponin T gene no mutations but six polymorphisms were detected. No evidence was found for functional relevance of the silent variants or polymorphisms. Thus, we could confirm that mutations in sarcomeric protein genes can lead to both HCM and DCM.

Full textIntroduction: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC) is a primary genetic cardiac disease characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy without dilation, usually asymmetric and predominantly septal, with an estimated prevalence of 1:500. There are 20 genes associated to the HC, but the ones more often related to the disease are ?-myosin heavy chain (MYH7), myosin binding protein C (MYBPC3) and troponin T (TNNT2). The molecular diagnosis of patients is important and cost-effective from the standpoint of public health, and recommended by the European Society of Cardiology. However, the initial cost of the exam is very high, so several studies are attempting to reduce it. One of the proposals described used the RNA extracted from leukocytes for sequencing successfully to the MYBPC3 gene. The present study aims to test the methodology for large-scale sequencing and test it\'s applicability to the MYH7 and TNNT2 genes, to estimate the main mutations involved in the studied patients and establish correlations between their genotypes and phenotypes. Methods: The subjects included in the study were patients previously diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in whom a blood sample was collected to DNA and RNA extraction. It was used nested PCR for cDNA amplification and conventional PCR for DNA amplification for posterior sequencing on an automatic sequencer. Statistical analyzes of clinical data were performed using ANOVA to compare means and Fisher\'s exact test for frequencies comparison. Results: The RNA sequencing was problematic with low rate of amplification, false positives and possible false negatives, so was used DNA sequencing to identify the mutations. Of the 268 patients studied a mutation was identified in 131 of them (48.8%). Among the mutations found, 78 (59.5%) were in the MYH7 gene, 50 (38.2%) in the MYBPC3 gene and three (2.3%) in the TNNT2 gene. We have identified 69 different mutations, 24 of them not yet described. Patients with an identified mutation had an average smaller age of diagnosis and current age, higher average cardiac frequency and higher frequency of patients with nonsustained ventricular tachycardia compared to those without an identified mutation. Patients with mutations in the MYH7 gene had larger left atrium size, higher frequency of atrial fibrillation and higher frequency of family history of the disease than patients with a mutation in the MYBPC3 gene. Conclusions: The technique of sequencing RNA extracted from leucocytes is not suitable for large scale routine screening for CH due to the high frequency of false positives, possibility of false negatives and low rate of amplification, but the DNA sequencing, though laborious, was very sensitive to the analysis. Identification of a specific mutation cannot yet be used for prognosis of the disease\'s severity, but comparisons of genotype and phenotype have shown some interesting relationships that should be further evaluated. The presente study is the first one to characterize the molecular epidemiology of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Brazilian patients for those three more important genes mentioned above
