Development of a qualitative sequential immunoassay for characterizing the intrinsic properties of circulating cardiac troponin I.

چکیده
BACKGROUND With myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac troponin is released from the heart into circulation, where it can be detected with immunoassays independently quantifying cardiac troponin I (cTnI) or cTnT. There is, however, no single immunoassay that sequentially probes the posttranslational modification status of cTnI or directly characterizes whether circulating cTnI is bound to cTnC and/or cTnT. Here we describe the development of a qualitative immunoassay to directly probe the primary and ternary structure of circulating cTnI through diffractive optics technology (dotLab System, Axela). METHODS Anti-cTnI antibody 8I-7 was immobilized on a patterned sensor to capture cTnI. One or more detector antibodies were sequentially introduced to probe for amino acid sequence integrity or phosphorylation status of cTnI, or its association with cTnC and/or cTnT. Respective immunocaptures were recorded as real-time diffractive intensities (DIs), and the DI differences were analyzed. Each immunodetection was independent of the others but was done in a single sequential assay. RESULTS This diffraction-based immunoassay successfully characterized cTnI. The unamplified assay determined whether cTnI was degraded at N-terminus and/or C-terminus or phosphorylated. Sequential application of multiple detector antibodies without an antibody-stripping step enables real-time interrogation of 5 different epitopes of cTnI, or direct detection of the cTn complex (cTnI-cTnC-cTnT) in a single sequential assay. Finally, this assay was optimized with amplification to directly detect circulating cTnI bound to cTnC and cTnT in serum from an MI patient. CONCLUSIONS The dot Immunoassay is the first qualitative sequential immunoassay to address the direct interactions of the troponin subunits and various modified forms of cTnI.

بررسی تروپونین I در بیماران هیپوتیروئید مراجعه کننده به درمانگاه غدد بیمارستان حضرت رسول اکرم(ص)، انیستیتو غدد داخلی و متابولیسم
Background: With increase in the age there is an increase in both the incidence of hypothyroidism and cardiovascular diseases. We wanted to see whether hypothyroidism caused false positivity in patients who did not have cardiovascular problems or not. In hypothyroid state, creatine kinase leaks into blood. Troponin I in small amount persists in Cytosolic pool (the same site of creatine kina...

Introduction: Coping ways with stress in coronary heart disease patients can lead to significant changes in levels of Cardiac Biomarker Troponin I, but researchers had not explored it empirically. So, the main objective of this study was to identify the relationship between coping ways with stress and Cardiac Biomarker Troponin I and also, finding coping ways that predict changes in the concent...

Objective(s):Biochemical markers are important for the timely diagnosis and follow-up of ischemic events. Most of the markers have been previously studied in the context of cardiac ischemia. However, research on markers of non-cardiac events has been insufficient. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between troponin and myoglobin which are commonly used markers of cardiac ischemia, in n...
