We prospectively followed healthy controls (n=30) and patients with ACS (n=60) who underwent coronary angiography. Serum HMGB1 and TNF-¦Á concentrations were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum concentrations of HMGB1 (33.22 ¡À 16.59 ng/ml in Acute Myocardial Infarction Group (AMIG) and 23.40 ¡À 12.17 ng/ml in Unstable Angina Pectoris Group (UAPG)) and TNF-¦Á (10.68 ¡À 4.94 pg/ml in AMIG and 6.37 ¡À 3.53 pg/ml in UAPG) in patients with ACS prior to standard hospitalization were significantly higher than those of the control group (HMGB1: 12.23 ¡À 2.74 ng/ml; TNF-¦Á: 2.13 ¡À 1.26 pg/ml) (p<0.01). The concentrations of HMGB1 (21.67 ¡À 13.00 ng/ml in AMIG and 18.71 ¡À 6.92 ng/ml in UAPG) and TNF-¦Á (5.28 ¡À 3.09 pg/ml in AMIG and 3.71 ¡À 2.34 pg/ml in UAPG) in patients with ACS post-standardized hospitalization were lower than those prior to hospitalization (p<0.05). Correlation analysis revealed a positive correlation between the serum concentration of HMGB1 and coronary artery lesion counts and severity as evaluated using the Gensini integral (r=0.525, p<0.01 and r=0.588, p<0.01, respectively), and a negative correlation with left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.488, p<0.01) in patients with ACS. Moreover, the serum concentration of TNF-¦Á was positively correlated with that of HMGB1 (r=0.415, p<0.01). The serum concentrations of HMGB1 and TNF-¦Á may be useful indicators to estimate the severity of coronary artery lesions in patients with ACS %K Acute coronary syndrome %K High mobility group box 1 %K Tumor necrosis factor-£¿¡À %K Coronary artery lesion %K Gensini score %U https://www.alliedacademies.org/articles/correlation-between-high-mobility-group-box-1-protein-tumor-necrosis-factoralpha-and-acute-coronary-syndrome.html
