Objective: This study is aimed at identifying the potential diagnostic markers for circulating endothelial cells (CECs) for acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) and exploring the regulatory mechanisms of the selected biomarker in mitochondrial oxidative damage and vascular inflammation in AMI pathology.
Methods: Utilizing the Gene Expression Omnibus dataset GSE66360, we scanned for differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in 49 AMI patients and 50 healthy subjects. To discover possible biomarkers, LASSO regression and support vector machine recursive feature elimination examinations were conducted.

Our current knowledge of the structure and function of C3a comes from the study of vertebrate C3a anaphylatoxins, virtually nothing is known about the structure and function of C3a molecules in invertebrates. Here we demonstrated that C3a from the invertebrate chordate Branchiostoma japonicum, BjC3a, was similar to vertebrate C3a possessing potential antibacterial activity, as revealed by sequence analysis and computational modeling. The antibacterial activity of BjC3a was definitely confirmed by both antibacterial assay and TEM observation showing that recombinant BjC3a was directly bactericidal.

An erythroid stimulating activity which promotes the growth of small bursts probably arising from mature burst forming units-erythroid (BFU-Es) of adult human bone marrow cells and called human erythroid burst stimulating activity (HuEBSA), was previously found in media conditioned by a fetal human kidney cell line. In the present work we report that adding HuEBSA to cultures did not increase the burst number but increased the size of bursts from cord blood (CB) cells. A similar observation was made using stem cell factor (SCF).

The burst formation from human and murine burst forming unit-erythroid (BFU-E) requires the presence of erythropoietin (Epo) in semi-solid cultures of bone marrow cells. A number of haematopoietic factors are described that increase the burst number: interleukin 3 (IL-3), stem cell factor (SCF), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IL-9, IL-11, insulin-like growth factor I, and erythroid potentiating activity (EPA). The authors now show that another activity present in medium conditioned from adult or fetal human kidney cells specifically stimulates the proliferation of BFU-E.

Recent studies showed that the blood BFU-E, when subtracted from the uremic milieu, normally responds to the stimulating factor produced by T lymphocytes. The serum of uremic patients inhibits the in vitro growth of normal BFU-E, however, the inhibition is almost completely reversed by hemodialysis. These data allow to understand why the therapy with erythropoietin relieves the anemia of CRF.
