Abstract
Background Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can lead to adverse cardiac remodeling, resulting in left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSd) and heart failure. Epigenetic regulators, such as microRNAs, may be involved in the physiopathology of LVSd. Objective This study explored microRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of post-myocardial infarction patients with LVSd. Methods Post-STEMI patients were grouped as having (LVSd, n = 9) or not LVSd (non-LVSd, n = 16). The expression of 61 microRNAs was analyzed in PBMC by RT-qPCR and the differentially expressed microRNAs were identified. Principal Component Analysis stratified the microRNAs based on the development of dysfunction. Predictive variables of LVSd were investigated through logistic regression analysis. A system biology approach was used to explore the regulatory molecular network of the disease and an enrichment analysis was performed. Results The let-7b-5p (AUC: 0.807; 95% CI: 0.63-0.98; p = 0.013), miR-125a-3p (AUC: 0.800; 95% CI: 0.61-0.99; p = 0.036) and miR-326 (AUC: 0.783; 95% CI: 0.54-1.00; p = 0.028) were upregulated in LVSd (p < 0.05) and discriminated LVSd from non-LVSd. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed let-7b-5p (OR: 16.00; 95% CI: 1.54-166.05; p = 0.020) and miR-326 (OR: 28.00; 95% CI: 2.42-323.70; p = 0.008) as predictors of LVSd. The enrichment analysis revealed association of the targets of these three microRNAs with immunological response, cell-cell adhesion, and cardiac changes. Conclusion LVSd alters the expression of let-7b-5p, miR-326, and miR-125a-3p in PBMC from post-STEMI, indicating their potential involvement in the cardiac dysfunction physiopathology and highlighting these miRNAs as possible LVSd biomarkers.

Abstract
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are involved in various physiological and pathophysiological processes. Functional autoantibodies targeting GPCRs have been associated with multiple disease manifestations in this context. Here we summarize and discuss the relevant findings and concepts presented in the biennial International Meeting on autoantibodies targeting GPCRs (the 4th Symposium), held in Lübeck, Germany, 15-16 September 2022. The symposium focused on the current knowledge of these autoantibodies' role in various diseases, such as cardiovascular, renal, infectious (COVID-19), and autoimmune diseases (e.g., systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus). Beyond their association with disease phenotypes, intense research related to the mechanistic action of these autoantibodies on immune regulation and pathogenesis has been developed, underscoring the role of autoantibodies targeting GPCRs on disease outcomes and etiopathogenesis. The observation repeatedly highlighted that autoantibodies targeting GPCRs could also be present in healthy individuals, suggesting that anti-GPCR autoantibodies play a physiologic role in modeling the course of diseases. Since numerous therapies targeting GPCRs have been developed, including small molecules and monoclonal antibodies designed for treating cancer, infections, metabolic disorders, or inflammatory conditions, anti-GPCR autoantibodies themselves can serve as therapeutic targets to reduce patients' morbidity and mortality, representing a new area for the development of novel therapeutic interventions.
