Soluble MER (sMER) has emerged as a potential biomarker for delayed resolution of inflammation after myocardial injury and a therapeutic target to reduce cardiac-related morbidity and mortality in adults. The significance of sMER in pediatric populations, however, is unclear. We sought to investigate if sMER concentrations change in response to myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R) injury in pediatric patients. In parallel, we also sought to investigate for correlations between the change in sMER concentration and specific patient, bypass, and post-operative data. We quantified the change in plasma sMER concentration post- compared to pre-cardiopulmonary bypass for each patient in a cohort of pediatric patients. Linear regression, correlation coefficients, and t-tests were used to compare innate patient characteristics (i.e. sex, age, cyanotic vs. acyanotic cardiac lesion), cardiac bypass data (i.e. total cardiac bypass time, total aortic cross-clamp time, peri-operative steroid administration), and post-cardiac bypass data (total post-operative ventilator days, total post-operative vasoactive medication days, and total post-operative ICU days) with change in sMER concentrations. Whole blood samples were obtained intra-operatively at a single tertiary care children’s hospital from April to October 2019. Our patient cohort included twenty-four pediatric patients ages ranging from birth to 19 years-old with both cyanotic and acyanotic cardiac lesions. Retrospective analyses of pediatric blood specimens as well as patient, bypass, and post-operative data were performed. We observed a statistically significant increase in sMER concentration post-cardiac bypass in 17/24 (71%) of patients. Soluble MER concentrations increase with cardiopulmonary bypass-induced inflammation and MI/R injury in pediatric patients. The utility of sMER as a clinical biomarker to identify pediatric patients at risk for exacerbated post-operative outcomes after bypass-induced MI/R injury requires further investigation.
