Teixeira AR, Ferreira VV, Pereira-da-Silva T, Ferreira RC. The role of miRNAs in the diagnosis of stable atherosclerosis of different arterial territories: A critical review. Front Cardiovasc Med 2022; 9:1040971. [PMID: 36505351 PMCID: PMC9733725 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.1040971] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Accepted: 10/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Atherosclerotic disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Atherosclerosis may be present in different arterial territories and as a single- or multi-territorial disease. The different phenotypes of atherosclerosis are attributable only in part to acquired cardiovascular risk factors and genetic Mendelian inheritance. miRNAs, which regulate the gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, may also contribute to such heterogeneity. Numerous miRNAs participate in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis by modulating endothelial function, smooth vascular cell function, vascular inflammation, and cholesterol homeostasis in the vessel, among other biological processes. Moreover, miRNAs are present in peripheral blood with high stability and have the potential to be used as non-invasive biomarkers for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis. However, the circulating miRNA profile may vary according to the involved arterial territory, considering that atherosclerosis expression, including the associated molecular phenotype, varies according to the affected arterial territory. In this review, we discuss the specific circulating miRNA profiles associated with atherosclerosis of different arterial territories, the common circulating miRNA profile of stable atherosclerosis irrespective of the involved arterial territory, and the circulating miRNA signature of multi-territorial atherosclerosis. miRNAs may consist of a simple non-invasive method for discriminating atherosclerosis of different arterial sites. The limitations of miRNA profiling for such clinical application are also discussed.

Plasma circulating microRNAs associated with obesity, body fat distribution, and fat mass: the Rotterdam Study. Int J Obes (Lond) 2022; 46:2137-2144. [PMID: 36216908 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-022-01227-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2022] [Revised: 09/27/2022] [Accepted: 09/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/08/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent a class of small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression post-transcriptionally and are implicated in the pathogenesis of different diseases. Limited studies have investigated the association of circulating miRNAs with obesity and body fat distribution and their link to obesity-related diseases using population-based data. METHODS We conducted a genome-wide profile of circulating miRNAs in plasma, collected between 2002 and 2005, in 1208 participants from the population-based Rotterdam Study cohort. Obesity and body fat distribution were measured as body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), android-fat to gynoid-fat ratio (AGR), and fat mass index (FMI) measured by anthropometrics and Dual X-ray Absorptiometry. Multivariable linear regression models were used to assess the association of 591 miRNAs well-expressed in plasma with these traits adjusted for potential covariates. We further sought for the association of identified miRNAs with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases in the Rotterdam study and previous publications. RESULTS Plasma levels of 65 miRNAs were associated with BMI, 40 miRNAs with WHR, 65 miRNAs with FMI, and 15 miRNAs with AGR surpassing the Bonferroni-corrected P < 8.46 × 10-5. Of these, 12 miRNAs were significantly associated with all traits, while four miRNAs were associated only with WHR, three miRNAs only with FMI, and miR-378i was associated only with AGR. The most significant association among the overlapping miRNAs was with miR-193a-5p, which was shown to be associated with type 2 diabetes and hepatic steatosis in the Rotterdam Study. Moreover, five of the obesity-associated miRNAs and two of the body fat distribution miRNAs have been correlated previously to cardiovascular disease. CONCLUSIONS This study indicates that plasma levels of several miRNAs are associated with obesity and body fat distribution which could help to better understand the underlying mechanisms and may have the biomarker potential for obesity-related diseases.

Abstract
Emerging data indicates an association between endometriosis and subclinical atherosclerosis, with women with endometriosis at a higher risk for cardiovascular disease later in life. Inflammation is proposed to play a central role in the pathophysiology of both diseases and elevated levels of systemic pro-inflammatory cytokines including macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are well documented. However, a thorough understanding on the mediators and mechanisms which contribute to altered cytokine expression in both diseases remain poorly understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of inflammatory pathways and numerous studies have reported altered circulating levels of miRNAs in both endometriosis and atherosclerosis. Potential contribution of miRNA-mediated inflammatory cascades common to the pathophysiology of both diseases has not been evaluated but could offer insight into common pathways and early manifestation relevant to both diseases which may help understand cause and effect. In this review, we discuss and summarize differentially expressed inflammatory circulating miRNAs in endometriosis subjects, compare this profile to that of circulating levels associated with atherosclerosis when possible, and then discuss mechanistic studies focusing on these miRNAs in relevant cell, tissue, and animal models. We conclude by discussing the potential utility of targeting the relevant miRNAs in the MIF-IL-6-TNF-α pathway as therapeutic options and offer insight into future studies which will help us better understand not only the role of these miRNAs in the pathophysiology of both endometriosis and atherosclerosis but also commonality between both diseases.

Diagnostic Performance of Circulating miRNAs and Extracellular Vesicles in Acute Ischemic Stroke. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23094530. [PMID: 35562921 PMCID: PMC9102701 DOI: 10.3390/ijms23094530] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2022] [Accepted: 04/14/2022] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: Increased inflammation activates blood coagulation system, higher platelet activation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of ischemic stroke (IS). During platelet activation and aggregation process, platelets may cause increased release of several proinflammatory, and prothrombotic mediators, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs). In the current study we aimed to assess circulating miRNAs profile related to platelet function and inflammation and circulating EVs from platelets, leukocytes, and endothelial cells to analyse their diagnostic and predictive utility in patients with acute IS. Methods: The study population consisted of 28 patients with the diagnosis of the acute IS. The control group consisted of 35 age- and gender-matched patients on acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) therapy without history of stroke and/or TIA with established stable coronary artery disease (CAD) and concomitant cardiovascular risk factors. Venous blood samples were collected from the control group and patients with IS on ASA therapy (a) 24 h after onset of acute IS, (b) 7-days following index hospitalization. Flow cytometry was used to determine the concentration of circulating EVs subtypes (from platelets, leukocytes, and endothelial cells) in platelet-depleted plasma and qRT-PCR was used to determine several circulating plasma miRNAs (miR-19a-3p, miR-186-5p and let-7f). Results: Patients with high platelet reactivity (HPR, based on arachidonic acid-induced platelet aggregometry) had significantly elevated platelet-EVs (CD62+) and leukocyte-EVs (CD45+) concentration compared to patients with normal platelet reactivity at the day of 1 acute-stroke (p = 0.012, p = 0.002, respectively). Diagnostic values of baseline miRNAs and EVs were evaluated with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The area under the ROC curve for miR-19a-3p was 0.755 (95% CI, 0.63–0.88) p = 0.004, for let-7f, it was 0.874 (95% CI, 0.76–0.99) p = 0.0001; platelet-EVs was 0.776 (95% CI, 0.65–0.90) p = 0.001, whereas for leukocyte-EVs, it was 0.715 (95% CI, 0.57–0.87) p = 0.008. ROC curve showed that pooling the miR-19a-3p expressions, platelet-EVs, and leukocyte-EVs concentration yielded a higher AUC than the value of each individual biomarker as AUC was 0.893 (95% CI, 0.79–0.99). Patients with moderate stroke had significantly elevated miR-19a-3p expression levels compared to patients with minor stroke at the first day of IS. (AUC: 0.867, (95% CI, 0.74–0.10) p = 0.001). Conclusion: Combining different biomarkers of processes underlying IS pathophysiology might be beneficial for early diagnosis of ischemic events. Thus, we believe that in the future circulating biomarkers might be used in the prehospital phase of IS. In particular, circulating plasma EVs and non-coding RNAs including miRNAs are interesting candidates as bearers of circulating biomarkers due to their high stability in the blood and making them highly relevant biomarkers for IS diagnostics.

J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2021; 8:jcdd8120170. [PMID: 34940525 PMCID: PMC8707585 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd8120170] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/14/2021] [Revised: 11/28/2021] [Accepted: 11/29/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Atheroprotective properties of human plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are determined by their involvement in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) from the macrophage to the liver. ABCA1, ABCG1, and SR-BI cholesterol transporters are involved in cholesterol efflux from macrophages to lipid-free ApoA-I and HDL as a first RCT step. Molecular determinants of RCT efficiency that may possess diagnostic and therapeutic meaning remain largely unknown. This review summarizes the progress in studying the genomic variants of ABCA1, ABCG1, and SCARB1, and the regulation of their function at transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels in atherosclerosis. Defects in the structure and function of ABCA1, ABCG1, and SR-BI are caused by changes in the gene sequence, such as single nucleotide polymorphism or various mutations. In the transcription initiation of transporter genes, in addition to transcription factors, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), transcription activators, and repressors are also involved. Furthermore, transcription is substantially influenced by the methylation of gene promoter regions. Post-transcriptional regulation involves microRNAs and lncRNAs, including circular RNAs. The potential biomarkers and targets for atheroprotection, based on molecular mechanisms of expression regulation for three transporter genes, are also discussed in this review.

Abstract
Extracellular circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are currently a focus of interest as non-invasive biomarkers of cardiovascular pathologies, including coronary artery disease (CAD) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS): myocardial infarction with and without ST-segment elevation (STEMI and NSTEMI) and unstable angina (UA). However, the current data for some miRNAs are controversial and inconsistent, probably due to pre-analytical and methodological variances in different studies. In this work, we fulfilled the basic pre-analytical requirements provided for circulating miRNA studies for application to stable CAD and ACS research. We used quantitative PCR to determine the relative plasma levels of eight circulating miRNAs that are potentially associated with atherosclerosis. In a cohort of 136 adult clinic CAD patients and outpatient controls, we found that the plasma levels of miR-21-5p and miR-146a-5p were significantly elevated in ACS patients, and the level of miR-17-5p was decreased in ACS and stable CAD patients compared to both healthy controls and hypertensive patients without CAD. Within the ACS patient group, no differences were found in the plasma levels of these miRNAs between patients with positive and negative troponin, nor were any differences found between STEMI and NSTEMI. Our results indicate that increased plasma levels of miR-146a-5p and miR-21-5p can be considered general ACS circulating biomarkers and that lowered miR-17-5p can be considered a general biomarker of CAD.

Abstract
Objective: In recent years, research on microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) has attracted considerable attention. However, findings of these studies on the validity of circulating miRNAs in CAD diagnosis are controversial. A meta-analysis was therefore conducted to determine the potential value of miRNAs as biomarkers in CAD diagnosis. Methods: Relevant documents on miRNAs expression levels in the diagnosis of CAD were searched and collected from Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science. They were collected from the time of inception of the database till January 31, 2020. A meta-analysis was conducted using Stata14.0 software. Forest maps were studied and a comprehensive evaluation of the diagnostic value of the expression levels of mRNAs in CAD was conducted using statistical indicators such as the summary receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: Overall, 14 studies were included, with 38 data sets, involving 29 miRNAs with 846 cases and 898 controls. The meta-analysis revealed that the average sensitivity and specificity of miRNAs for CAD diagnosis were 0.80 (0.75–0.84) and 0.78 (0.75–0.81), respectively. The positive likelihood, negative likelihood, and diagnostic odds ratios were 3.7 (3.1–4.4), 0.26 (0.21–0.33), and 14 (10–21), respectively, and the area under the curve was 0.85 (0.82–0.88). Subgroup analysis revealed that the accuracy in the Asian population was higher than that in the non-Asian population. Multiple miRNAs may be more diagnostically accurate than single miRNAs. MiRNAs in whole blood were more accurate than those in plasma, serum, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The diagnostic performance of the quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction group was better than that of the qPCR group. Conclusion: According to our study, miRNAs may be a new, non-invasive diagnostic tool for the diagnosis of CAD. As a screening tool in clinical practice, it has potential diagnostic value and is worthy of clinical promotion. Considering the number and quality of the studies included in this meta-analysis, the above conclusion requires more quality research to verify it.

Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a leading cause of death worldwide, and
angiogenesis plays important roles in CHD. Thus, in the present study, the
angiogenic efficacy of four common cardiovascular medicines (aspirin,
pravastatin, metoprolol and isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN)) was determined by the
number and length of zebrafish intersegmental vessels (ISVs) after immersing
zebrafish embryos in different medicines. Results showed that ISMN significantly
increased the length and number of ISVs. ISMN is a long-acting nitrate ester
drug. It has been used as a vasodilator to dilate arteries and veins to reduce
the cardiac preload and postload. However, the effect of ISMN on angiogenesis
remains unclear. Thus, by in vitro experiments, the angiogenic mechanism of ISMN
was evaluated through detecting the viability and proliferation of human
umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and the expression of
angiogenesis-related genes and miRNAs. Results indicated that ISMN could
increase the viability and proliferation of HUVECs by decreasing apoptosis, and
elevated the expressions of vedf, kdrl,
pdgfr in zebrafish embryos. Furthermore, the expressions of
miR-126, miR-130a and miR-210 were also regulated in ISMN-treated HUVECs. In
conclusion, ISMN could promote angiogenesis in zebrafish embryos and HUVECs,
implying ISMN may be a potential therapeutic in treating angiogenesis-related
diseases.

Potential of circulating pro-angiogenic microRNA expressions as biomarkers for rapid angiographic stenotic progression and restenosis risks in coronary artery disease patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. J Clin Lab Anal 2020; 34:e23013. [PMID: 31495986 PMCID: PMC6977144 DOI: 10.1002/jcla.23013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2019] [Revised: 08/05/2019] [Accepted: 08/07/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the correlation of pro-angiogenic microRNA (miRNA) expressions with rapid angiographic stenotic progression (RASP) and restenosis risks in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents (DES). METHODS A total of 286 CAD patients underwent PCI with DES were consecutively recruited in this study. Plasma samples were collected before PCI operation, and 14 pro-angiogenic miRNAs were measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Rapid angiographic stenotic progression at nontarget lesions and restenosis at stented lesions were evaluated by quantitative coronary angiography at 12 months after PCI operation. RESULTS The occurrence rates of RASP and restenosis were 39.5% and 22.4%, respectively. Let-7f, miR-19a, miR-19b-1, miR-92a, miR-126, miR-210, and miR-296 were decreased in RASP patients than non-RASP patients, among which let-7f, miR-19a, miR-126, miR-210, and miR-296 independently correlated with lower RASP occurrence by multivariate analysis, followed by receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve exhibited that these five miRNAs showed great value in predicting RASP risk with area under curve (AUC) 0.879 (95% CI: 0.841-0.917). Besides, let-7f, miR-19a, miR-92a, miR-126, miR-130a, and miR-210 were reduced in restenosis patients than non-restenosis patients, among them miR-19a, miR-126, miR-210, and miR-378 independently correlated with lower restenosis occurrence by multivariate analysis, followed by ROC curve disclosed that these four miRNAs had good value in predicting restenosis risk with AUC 0.776 (95% CI: 0.722-0.831). CONCLUSIONS Circulating let-7f, miR-19a, miR-126, miR-210, and miR-296 independently correlate with reduced RASP risk, while miR-19a, miR-126, miR-210, and miR-378 independently correlate with decreased restenosis risk in CAD patients underwent PCI with DES.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases have high morbidity and mortality rates worldwide, and their treatment and prevention are challenging. MicroRNAs are a series of noncoding RNAs with highly conserved sequences and regulate gene expression by inhibiting mRNA transcription or degrading targeting proteins. MicroRNA-210 is significantly upregulated during hypoxia and plays a protective role by inhibiting apoptosis and regulating cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, mitochondrial metabolism, and angiogenesis in hypoxic cells. MicroRNA-210 expression is altered in cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, acute myocardial infarction, preeclampsia, aortic stenosis, and heart failure, and overexpression of microRNA-210 in some of these diseases exerts protective effects on target organs. Furthermore, chronically upregulated miR-210 potentially plays a marked pathogenic role in specific situations. This review primarily focuses on the upstream pathways, downstream targets, clinical progress in cardiovascular disease, and potential applications of microRNA-210.
