Background: Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) carries a poor prognosis, and accurately prognostication has significant clinical importance. In this study, we analyzed the predictive value of the CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and R2-CHADS2scores for major adverse cardiac events (MACE) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with NSTEMI using data from a prospective multicenter registry.Methods and Results: The registry included 440 consecutive patients with NSTEMI and coronary artery disease who underwent successful PCI. Patients were clinically followed for up to 3 years or until the occurrence of MACE. MACE was defined as a composite of all-cause death and nonfatal MI. During the follow-up period, 55 patients (12.5%) experienced MACE. Risk analysis of MACE occurrence, adjusted for the multivariable model, demonstrated a significant increase in risk with higher CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and R2-CHADS2scores. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a higher incidence of MACE in patients with higher CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and R2-CHADS2scores, both in the short- and long-term periods.Conclusions: Patients with NSTEMI and higher CHADS2, CHA2DS2-VASc, and R2-CHADS2scores displayed a greater incidence of MACE.

Aims: It was suggested that group V secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-V) existed in the nucleus. This study examined whether nuclear sPLA2-V plays a role in endocytosis of acetylated low-density lipoprotein (AcLDL) in monocyte/macrophage-like cell line RAW264.7 cells.Methods: RAW264.7 cells were transfected with shRNA vector targeting sPLA2-V (sPLA2-V-knockdown [KD] cells) or empty vector (sPLA2-V-wild-type [WT] cells). AcLDL endocytosis was assessed by incubation with 125I-AcLDL or AcLDL conjugated with pHrodo. Actin polymerization was assessed by flow cytometry using Alexa Fluor 546-phalloidin.Results: In immunofluorescence microscopic studies, sPLA2-V was detected in the nucleus. ChIP-Seq and ChIP-qPCR analyses showed binding of sPLA2-V to the promoter region of the phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (Pgk1) gene. In the promoter assay, sPLA2-V-KD cells had lower promoter activity of the Pgk1 gene than sPLA2-V-WT cells, and this decrease could be reversed by transfection with a vector encoding sPLA2-V-H48Q that lacks enzymatic activity. Compared with sPLA2-V-WT cells, sPLA2-V-KD cells had decreased PGK1 protein expression, beclin 1 (Beclin1) phosphorylation at S30, and class III PI3-kinase activity that could also be restored by transfection with sPLA2-V-H48Q. sPLA2-V-KD cells had impaired actin polymerization and endocytosis, which was reversed by introduction of sPLA2-V-H48Q or PGK1 overexpression. In sPLA2-V-WT cells, siRNA-mediated depletion of PGK1 suppressed Beclin1 phosphorylation and impaired actin polymerization and intracellular trafficking of pHrodo-conjugated AcLDL.Conclusions: Nuclear sPLA2-V binds to the Pgk1 gene promoter region and increases its transcriptional activity. sPLA2-V regulates AcLDL endocytosis through PGK1-Beclin1 in a manner that is independent of its enzymatic activity in RAW264.7 cells.
