Background: Complete revascularization has demonstrated better outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and multivessel disease. However, in the case of left main (LM) culprit lesion AMI with multivessel disease, there is limited evidence to suggest that complete revascularization is better. Methods: We reviewed 16,831 patients in the Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry who were treated from July 2016 to June 2020, and 399 patients were enrolled with LM culprit lesion AMI treated with percutaneous coronary intervention. We categorized the patients as those treated with complete revascularization (n=295) or incomplete revascularization (n=104). The study endpoint was major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, ischemia-driven revascularization, stent thrombosis, and stroke. We performed propensity score matching (PSM) and analyzed the incidence of MACCE at 1 year. Results: After PSM, the two groups were well balanced. There was no significant difference between the two groups in MACCE at 1 year (12.1% vs. 15.2%; hazard ratio, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 0.60–2.74; p=0.524) after PSM. The components of MACCE and major bleeding were also not significantly different. Conclusion There was no significant difference in clinical outcomes between the groups treated with complete or incomplete revascularization for LM culprit lesion AMI with multivessel disease.

Purpose: A widely distributed cell cycle inhibitor, p27, regulates cyclin-dependent kinase-cyclin complexes. Although the prognostic value of p27 has been established for various types of carcinomas, its role in luminal breast cancer remains poorly understood. This study aimed to explore the functional enrichment of p27 and identify potential drug targets in patients with luminal-type breast cancer. Methods: Clinicopathological data were collected from 868 patients with luminal-type breast cancer. Additionally, publicly available data from the Molecular Taxonomy of Breast Cancer International Consortium (METABRIC) dataset (1,500 patients) and the Gene Expression Omnibus database (855 patients) were included in the analysis. Immunohistochemical staining for p27, differential gene expression analysis, disease ontology analysis, survival prediction modeling using machine learning (ML), and in vitro drug screening were also performed. Results: Low p27 expression correlated with younger age, advanced tumor stage, estrogen receptor/progesterone receptor negativity, decreased cluster of differentiation 8+ T cell count, and poorer survival outcomes in luminal-type breast cancer. The METABRIC data revealed that reduced cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (CDKN1B) expression (encoding p27) was associated with cell proliferation-related pathways and epigenetic polycomb repressive complex 2. Using ML, p27 emerged as the second most significant survival factor after N stage, thereby enhancing survival model performance. Additionally, luminal-type breast cancer cell lines with low CDKN1B expression demonstrated increased sensitivity to specific anticancer drugs such as voxtalisib and serdemetan, implying a potential therapeutic synergy between CDKN1B-targeted approaches and these drugs. Conclusion The integration of ML and bioinformatic analyses of p27 has the potential to enhance risk stratification and facilitate personalized treatment strategies for patients with breast cancer.
