Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-1-inducible genes in endothelial cells. Cloning of a new gene related to C-reactive protein and serum amyloid P component.

TL;DR: Differential screening of a cDNA library constructed from human umbilical vein endothelial cells exposed for 1 h to interleukin-1 beta has led to the identification of a novel gene (PTX3) related to pentaxins, a subclass of acute phase proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic significance of the long pentraxin PTX3 in acute myocardial infarction

TL;DR: In a representative contemporary sample of patients with MI with ST elevation, the acute-phase protein PTX3 but not the liver-derived short pentraxin CRP or other cardiac biomarkers (NT-proBNP, TnT, CK) predicted 3-month mortality after adjustment for major risk factors and other acute- phase prognostic markers.
Journal ArticleDOI

PTX3, A Prototypical Long Pentraxin, Is an Early Indicator of Acute Myocardial Infarction in Humans

TL;DR: PTx3 is present in the intact myocardium, increases in the blood of patients with AMI, and disappears from damaged myocytes, suggesting that PTX3 is an early indicator of myocyte irreversible injury in ischemic cardiomyopathy.
