Value of SERCA2a as a Biomarker for the Identification of Patients with Heart Failure Requiring Circulatory Support

Background: Heart failure (HF) alters the nucleo-cytoplasmic transport of cardiomyocytes and reduces SERCA2a levels, essential for intracellular calcium homeostasis. We consider in this study whether the molecules involved in these processes can differentiate those patients with advanced HF and the...

We consider in this study whether the molecules involved in these processes can differentiate those patients with advanced HF and the need for mechanical circulatory support (MCS) as a bridge to recovery or urgent heart transplantation from those who are clinically stable and who are transplanted in an elective code. Material and method: Blood samples from 29 patients with advanced HF were analysed by ELISA, and the plasma levels of Importin5, Nucleoporin153 kDa, RanGTPase-Activating Protein 1 and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca<sup>2+</sup> ATPase were compared between patients requiring MCS and those patients without a MCS need prior to heart transplantation. Results: SERCA2a showed significantly lower levels in patients who had MCS compared to those who did not require it (0.501 ± 0.530 ng/mL vs. 1.123 ± 0.661 ng/mL; <i>p</i> = 0.01). A SERCA2a cut-off point of 0.84 ng/mL (AUC 0.812 ± 0.085, 95% CI: 0.646–0.979; <i>p</i> = 0.004) provided a 92% sensitivity, 62% specificity, 91% negative predictive value and 67% positive predictive value. Conclusions: In this cohort, patients with advanced HF and a need for MCS have shown significantly lower levels of SERCA2a as compared to stable patients without a need for MCS prior to heart transplantation. This is a small study with preliminary findings, and larger-powered dedicated studies are required to confirm and validate these results.Meryem EzzitounyEsther Roselló-LletíManuel PortolésIgnacio Sánchez-LázaroMiguel Ángel Arnau-VivesEstefanía TarazónCarolina Gil-CayuelaSilvia Lozano-EdoRaquel López-VilellaLuis Almenar-BonetLuis Martínez-DolzMDPI AGarticleheart failurenucleocytoplasmic transportheart transplantationmechanical circulatory supportSERCA2abiomarkersMedicineRENJournal of Personalized Medicine, Vol 11, Iss 1122, p 1122 (2021)
