Nevertheless, some patients develop left ventricular adverse remodeling (LVAR). The main objective of this study is to find reliable prognostic biomarkers for patients developing LVAR, focusing in the role of pro-inflammatory mediators, including cell populations and secreted molecules. Methods We assessed the level of pro-inflammatory cell subsets, before and after the revascularization, 1 and 6 months after the PPCI, using flow cytometry. We also performed miRNAs microarray in isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and examined the levels of 27 cytokines in patients’ serum by multiplex ELISA. Results We observed that levels of pro-inflammatory monocytes were increased soon after PPCI, in patients who afterward developed LVAR. Furthermore, we detected significant increase in the concentration of secreted cytokines such as IL-1b, IL-17, IFN-g and VEGF in LVAR patients post-PPCI. Moreover, specific miRNAs levels regulating these cytokines secretion, also correlated with LVAR. Multivariate regression analysis and ROC curves indicated that these inflammatory mediators were good biomarkers to correlate with the appearance of LVAR in patients. In addition, we found that the combined analysis of these biomarkers increased the specificity and sensibility to identify patients with LVAR. Conclusion Our data suggest that the combined analysis of these inflammatory axes and related molecules, could reliably predict LVAR in STEMI patients.
