Цель

Цель. Оценить воздействие протеиногенных аминокислот с разветвленным строением алифатической боковой цепи (лейцина, изолейцина и валина – BCAA) и цитрата магния на концентрацию кальципротеиновых частиц (КПЧ) в крови гиперлипидемических (ApoE-нокаутных) мышей, а также в крови пациентов с инфарктом миокарда с подъемом сегмента ST (ИМпST) при добавлении цитрата магния ex vivo.

Материал и методы

Материал и методы. В исследование было включено 270 ApoE-нокаутных мышей (135 самцов и 135 самок), получавших BCAA (55 мг/сут, что эквивалентно 13,5 г/сут для человека) или цитрат магния (1,85 мг/сут, что эквивалентно 450 мг/сут для человека) с 1-месячного, 3-месячного или 6-месячного возраста (по 90 мышей в каждой группе, из них по 45 самцов и 45 самок). В 12-месячном возрасте всех животных выводили из эксперимента и проводили проточно-цитометрический анализ концентрации КПЧ в сыворотке крови при помощи флюоресцентно меченного бисфосфоната. Также в исследование было включено 27 пациентов с ИМпST, у которых получали сыворотку крови с добавлением к ней CaCl2 и Na2HPO4*12H2O для создания минерального стресса и последующим добавлением цитрата магния для оценки его способности снижать формирование КПЧ.

Результаты

Результаты. Пероральный прием BCAA и цитрата магния ApoE-нокаутными мышами не влиял на концентрацию КПЧ в сыворотке крови. В то же время добавление цитрата магния к перенасыщенной ионами кальция и фосфора сыворотке крови пациентов с ИМпST приводило к снижению концентрации КПЧ в 74% случаев (20/27), при этом в 81% случаев (22/27) концентрация КПЧ снижалась более, чем в сыворотке без перенасыщения ионами кальция и фосфора.

Заключение

Заключение. Полученные данные позволяют предположить терапевтический эффект цитрата магния, обладающего хелатирующим действием и растворяющим циркулирующие в крови КПЧ.

Aim

Aim. To evaluate the effects of proteinogenic branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine; BCAA) and magnesium citrate on the concentration of calciprotein particles (CPPs) in the blood of hyperlipidemic (ApoE-knockout) mice, as well as in the serum of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) following ex vivo addition of magnesium citrate.

Methods

Methods. The study included 270 ApoE-knockout mice (135 male and 135 female mice) that received BCAA (55 mg/day, equivalent to a human equivalent dose of 13.5 g/day) or magnesium citrate (1.85 mg/day, equivalent to a human equivalent dose of 450 mg/day), starting from the age of 1, 3, or 6 months (90 mice per group; 45 male and 45 female mice in each). At 12 months of age, all animals were euthanized, and serum CPP concentrations were quantified using flow cytometry with a fluorescently labeled bisphosphonate probe. Additionally, serum samples from 27 patients with STEMI were analyzed ex vivo by inducing mineral stress through the addition of CaCl₂ and Na₂HPO₄·12H₂O, followed by magnesium citrate supplementation to assess its capacity to attenuate CPP formation.

Results

Results. Oral administration of BCAA or magnesium citrate in ApoE-knockout mice did not affect serum CPP concentrations. In contrast, the addition of magnesium citrate to calcium- and phosphate-supersaturated serum from STEMI patients led to a reduction in CPP concentration in 74% of cases (20/27), with an over 81% (22/27) rate of reduction compared to the respective non-supersaturated serum.

Conclusion

Conclusion. The obtained data suggest a potential therapeutic effect of magnesium citrate, which may exert chelating properties and promote the dissolution of circulating CPPs in the blood.
