RESUMEN
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), as a severe consequence of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, always contributes to the loss of myocardial cells. Mounting evidence shows that annexin protects the myocardium from ischemic injury. In this study, we examine the inhibition of annexin A3 (ANXA3) on AMI through the phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway. We selected rats to build an AMI model which was then assigned into different groups. The hemodynamic parameters after transfection were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The effect of silencing of ANXA3 on inflammatory reaction and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was assessed. Rats transfected with ANXA3-short hairpin RNA had alleviated hemodynamics, inflammatory reaction, decreased infarct size, α-smooth muscle actin, Collagen I, and Collagen III as well as an increased vascular endothelial growth factor. Silencing ANAX3 would promote repair and healing of myocardial tissue by activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Collectively, our study provides evidence that the downregulation of ANXA3 promotes the repair and healing of myocardial tissues by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is considered an independent risk factor for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). METHODS: This study analyzed the effects of various agents on MACE risk reduction in HTG (serum triglyceride ≥ 150 mg/dl) populations by performing a network meta-analysis. We performed a frequentist network meta-analysis to conduct direct and indirect comparisons of interventions. PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane library were searched for trials until Jul 6, 2020. Randomized controlled trials that reported MACE associated with agents in entire HTG populations or in subgroups were included. The primary outcome was MACE. RESULTS: Of the 2005 articles screened, 21 trials including 56,471 patients were included in the analysis. The network meta-analysis results for MACE risk based on frequency data showed that eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) (OR: 1.32; 95% CI 1.19-1.46), gemfibrozil (OR: 1.53; 95% CI 1.20-1.95), niacin plus clofibrate (OR: 2.00; 95% CI 1.23-3.25), pravastatin (OR: 1.32; 95% CI 1.15-1.52), simvastatin (OR: 2.38; 95% CI 1.55-3.66), and atorvastatin (OR: 0.55; 95% CI 0.37-0.82) significantly reduced the risk of MACE compared to the control conditions. In the subgroup analysis of HTG patients with triglycerides ≥ 200 mg/dL, bezafibrate (OR: 0.56; 95% CI 0.33-0.94), EPA (OR: 0.72; 95% CI 0.62-0.82), and pravastatin (OR: 1.33; 95% CI 1.01-1.75) significantly reduced the MACE risk. CONCLUSIONS: Simvastatin had a clear advantage in reducing the risk of MACE in the entire HTG population analyzed in this meta-analysis. EPA, but not omega-3 fatty acid, was considered an effective HTG intervention. Among fibrates, gemfibrozil was most effective, though bezafibrate may significantly reduce the risk of MACE in populations with triglyceride levels of 200-300 mg/dL.
