摘要

Background

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) involves complex mechanisms, including oxidative stress and ferroptosis, but the timing and relationship of these processes with cardiac injury markers remain unclear. This study investigated how oxidative stress and ferroptosis-associated biomarkers change over time and their correlations with cardiac injury markers in STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods

A prospective cohort of 25 STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI was studied. Serum levels of cardiac injury biomarkers (Troponin I, CK-MB) and oxidative stress/ferroptosis markers (superoxide dismutase [SOD], total antioxidant capacity [TAC], glutathione peroxidase [GPx], lipid peroxidation products [LPO], serum iron, and ferritin) were measured at pre-PCI, and at 6, 12, 24, and 48 h post-PCI. Temporal trends and Pearson correlations between these biomarkers were analyzed.

Results

Markers of oxidative stress and ferroptosis-associated biomarkers demonstrated distinct time-dependent patterns post-reperfusion: SOD and TAC peaked early (6–12 h), while GPx initially decreased. LPO levels peaked at 6 h. Serum iron transiently declined, and ferritin showed a temporary increase at 6–12 h. Activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPx, TAC) showed inverse correlations with peak and cumulative cardiac injury markers in this pilot cohort, whereas higher LPO and iron showed positive correlations with greater myocardial damage observed here. CK-MB associations were stronger than those with Troponin I in this pilot cohort.

Conclusion

In this pilot cohort, oxidative stress and ferroptosis-associated biomarkers showed rapid early changes after reperfusion in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, correlating with myocardial injury extent (stronger correlations with CK-MB than troponin I). These findings suggest early oxidative stress and iron dysregulation as potential therapeutic targets for reperfusion injury, warranting confirmation in larger studies.
