Myocardial infarction (MI), a type of coronary heart disease, has had a significantly increased incidence in recent years. The balance of cardiomyocyte apoptosis and autophagy after MI is one of the main determinants of patient prognosis. Both affect myocardial fibrosis and ventricular remodeling and regulate cell survival. However, there are few studies on the regulation mechanism of cardiomyocyte autophagy and apoptosis in the early stage after MI. In this study, based on analyzing the scRNA-seq and mRNA-seq data of mice in the early stage of MI, we found that the expression of S100a8 and S100a9 increased first and then decreased in the early stage of MI, and their expression level changed with the number of neutrophils. Further, through the functional enrichment analysis of the differentially expressed genes, we found that S100a8 and S100a9 were simultaneously associated with autophagy and apoptosis and could regulate autophagy and apoptosis of cardiomyocytes through MAPK or PI3K-AKT signaling pathways. This study provides valuable insights for clarifying the pathogenesis of early stage MI and improving its early treatment.
