PG - 1254 LID - 10.1038/s41598-022-05374-w [doi] LID - 1254 AB - Leukocytosis is a common finding in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and portends a poor prognosis. Interleukin 1-beta regulates leukopoiesis and pre-clinical studies suggest that anakinra (recombinant human interleukin-1 [IL-1] receptor antagonist) suppresses leukocytosis in myocardial infarction. However, the effect of IL-1 blockade with anakinra on leukocyte count in patients with STEMI is unknown. We reviewed the white blood cell (WBC) and differential count of 99 patients enrolled in a clinical trial of anakinra (n = 64) versus placebo (n = 35) for 14 days after STEMI. A complete blood cell count with differential count were obtained at admission, and after 72 h, 14 days and 3 months. After 72 h from treatment, anakinra compared to placebo led to a statistically significant greater percent reduction in total WBC count (- 35% [- 48 to - 24] vs. - 21% [- 34 to - 10], P = 0.008), absolute neutrophil count (- 48% [- 60 to - 22] vs. - 27% [- 46 to - 5], P = 0.004) and to an increase in absolute eosinophil count (+ 50% [0 to + 100] vs. 0% [- 50 to + 62], P = 0.022). These changes persisted while on treatment at 14 days and were no longer apparent at 3 months after treatment discontinuation. We found that in patients with STEMI IL-1 blockade with anakinra accelerates resolution of leukocytosis and neutrophilia. This modulation may represent one of the mechanisms by which IL-1 blockade improves clinical outcomes. CI - (c) 2022. The Author(s).
