摘要：
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), a critical cardiovascular condition, is often associated with serious health risks. Recent studies suggest a link between copper-induced apoptosis and immune cell infiltration. Specifically, abnormal accumulation of copper ions can lead to intracellular oxidative stress and apoptosis, while also affecting immune cell function and infiltration. Nevertheless, studies exploring this relationship in the context of AMI are notably scarce, underscoring the necessity of identifying biomarkers associated with cuproptosis in AMI. Consensus clustering analysis was employed to classify distinct subtypes of AMI in the GSE66360 dataset. Concurrently, differential expression analysis was performed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) across subtypes and between AMI and control samples. We employed Venn diagrams to validate the selection of cuproptosis-related DEGs in patients with AMI. A protein-protein interaction network was constructed to pinpoint potential candidate genes. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated to identify promising biomarkers. The immune infiltration milieu was analyzed using CIBERSORT algorithms. Finally, the expression levels of identified cuproptosis-related biomarkers were validated at the transcriptional level. We classified AMI into 2 distinct cuproptosis-related subtypes, leading to the identification of 157 cuproptosis-related DEGs. Further analysis refined this list to 10 potential candidate genes. Among these, 5 emerged as significant biomarkers for AMI: granzyme A (GZMA), GTPase immunity-associated proteins (GIMPAs) GIMAP7, GIMAP5, GIMAP6, and TRAF3 interacting protein 3 (TRAF3IP3). A comprehensive examination of immune infiltration in AMI samples revealed significant differences in the levels of 11 types of immune cells, with GZMA displaying the highest correlation with activated mast cells and CD8 + T cells. We observed markedly lower expression levels of GZMA, GIMAP6, and TRAF3IP3 in the AMI group compared to controls. This study identified 5 cuproptosis-related biomarkers (GZMA, GIMAP7, GIMAP5, GIMAP6, and TRAF3IP3) associated with AMI, laying a theoretical foundation for the treatment of AMI.
