[PMID: 38951872 PMCID: PMC11218161 DOI: 10.1186/s12951-024-02631-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Reperfusion therapy is critical for saving heart muscle after myocardial infarction, but the process of restoring blood flow can itself exacerbate injury to the myocardium. This phenomenon is known as myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MIRI), which includes oxidative stress, inflammation, and further cell death. microRNA-146a (miR-146a) is known to play a significant role in regulating the immune response and inflammation, and has been studied for its potential impact on the improvement of heart function after myocardial injury. However, the delivery of miR-146a to the heart in a specific and efficient manner remains a challenge as extracellular RNAs are unstable and rapidly degraded. Milk exosomes (MEs) have been proposed as ideal delivery platform for miRNA-based therapy as they can protect miRNAs from RNase degradation. In this study, the effects of miR-146a containing MEs (MEs-miR-146a) on improvement of cardiac function were examined in a rat model of MIRI. To enhance the targeting delivery of MEs-miR-146a to the site of myocardial injury, the ischemic myocardium-targeted peptide IMTP was modified onto the surfaces, and whether the modified MEs-miR-146a could exert a better therapeutic role was examined by echocardiography, myocardial injury indicators and the levels of inflammatory factors. Furthermore, the expressions of miR-146a mediated NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins were detected by western blotting and qRT-PCR to further elucidate its mechanisms. MiR-146 mimics were successfully loaded into the MEs by electroporation at a square wave 1000 V voltage and 0.1 ms pulse duration. MEs-miR-146a can be up-taken by cardiomyocytes and protected the cells from oxygen glucose deprivation/reperfusion induced damage in vitro. Oral administration of MEs-miR-146a decreased myocardial tissue apoptosis and the expression of inflammatory factors and improved cardiac function after MIRI. The miR-146a level in myocardium tissues was significantly increased after the administration IMTP modified MEs-miR-146a, which was higher than that of the MEs-miR-146a group. In addition, intravenous injection of IMTP modified MEs-miR-146a enhanced the targeting to heart, improved cardiac function, reduced myocardial tissue apoptosis and suppressed inflammation after MIRI, which was more effective than the MEs-miR-146a treatment. Moreover, IMTP modified MEs-miR-146a reduced the protein levels of IRAK1, TRAF6 and p-p65. Therefore, IMTP modified MEs-miR-146a exerted their anti-inflammatory effect by inhibiting the IRAK1/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathway. Taken together, our findings suggested miR-146a containing MEs may be a promising strategy for the treatment of MIRI with better outcome after modification with ischemic myocardium-targeted peptide, which was expected to be applied in clinical practice in future.

[PMID: 38664788 PMCID: PMC11044313 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-024-02711-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) induces cardiomyocyte ferroptosis, a core remodeling event in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) emerges as a writer of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification. This study was conducted to decipher the role of METTL14 in H/R-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. METHODS Mouse cardiomyocytes HL-1 were cultured and underwent H/R treatment. The degree of ferroptosis after H/R treatment was appraised by the cell counting kit-8 assay, assay kits (ROS/GSH/Fe2+), and Western blotting (GPX4/ACSL4). The intracellular expressions of METTL14, pri-miR-146a-5p, miR-146a-5p, or adaptor protein phosphotyrosine interacting with PH domain and leucine zipper 1 (APPL1) were examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction or Western blotting, with m6A quantification analysis and RNA immunoprecipitation to determine the total m6A level and the expression of pri-miR-146a-5p bound to DiGeorge critical region 8 (DGCR8) and m6A-modified pri-miR-146a-5p. The binding of miR-146a-5p to APPL1 was testified by the dual-luciferase assay. RESULTS H/R treatment induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis (increased ROS, Fe2+, and ACSL4 and decreased GSH and GPX4) and upregulated METTL14 expression. METTL14 knockdown attenuated H/R-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. METTL14 induced the recognition of pri-miR-146a-5p by DGCR8 by increasing m6A modification on pri-miR-146a-5p, which promoted the conversion of pri-miR-146a-5p into miR-146a-5p and further repressed APPL1 transcription. miR-146a-5p upregulation or APPL1 downregulation limited the inhibitory effect of METTL14 downregulation on H/R-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis. CONCLUSION METTL14 promoted miR-146a-5p expression through the recognition and processing of pri-miR-146a-5p by DGCR8, which repressed APPL1 transcription and triggered H/R-induced cardiomyocyte ferroptosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) stands as a significant contributor to cardiovascular mortality, necessitating improved diagnostic tools for early detection and tailored therapeutic interventions. Current diagnostic modalities, exhibit limitations in sensitivity and specificity, urging the quest for novel biomarkers to enhance discrimination of the different stages of ACS including unstable angina, Non-ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI), and ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). METHODS This study investigated the potential of a plasma-circulating multi-noncoding RNA (ncRNA) panel, comprising four miRNAs (miR-182-5p, miR-23a-3p, miR-146a-5p, and miR-183-5p) and three lncRNAs (SNHG15, SNHG5, and RMRP), selected based on their intricate involvement in ACS pathogenesis and signaling pathways regulating post-myocardial infarction (MI) processes. The differential expression of these ncRNAs was validated in sera of ACS patients and healthy controls via real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). RESULTS Analysis revealed a marked upregulation of the multi-ncRNAs panel in ACS patients. Notably, miRNA-182-5p and lncRNA-RMRP exhibited exceptional discriminatory power, indicated by the high area under the curve (AUC) values (0.990 and 0.980, respectively). Importantly, this panel displayed superior efficacy in discriminating between STEMI and NSTEMI, outperforming conventional biomarkers like creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponins. Additionally, the four miRNAs and lncRNA RMRP showcased remarkable proficiency in distinguishing between STEMI and unstable angina. CONCLUSION The findings underscore the promising potential of the multi-ncRNA panel as a robust tool for early ACS detection, and precise differentiation among ACS subtypes, and as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
This report focuses on small non-coding RNA molecules (miRNAs), which have emerged as potential biomarkers with variable diagnostic values and false-positives in different conditions that limit their clinical preference. Current investigations focus on small non-coding RNA molecules (miRNAs), which have emerged as potential biomarkers with variable diagnostic values and false-positives in different conditions that limit their clinical preference. We thoroughly scrutinize the leading pathology of myocardial infarction and contemporary alterations in miRNAs for their specificity, stability and significant prognostic value at the early stage of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Based on secondary data analysis, we explore common biomarkers and further investigate included miRNA biomarkers for their specificity, stability and area under the curve (AUC) values. We conclude that a group of novel biomarkers, including miRNA-1, miRNA-208a/b and miRNA-499, could help predict the emergence of AMI at an early stage.

Abstract
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) encompass a family of ubiquitous RNA molecules that lack protein-coding potential and have tissue-specific expression. A significant body of evidence indicates that ncRNA's aberrant expression plays a critical role in disease onset and development. NcRNAs' biochemical characteristics such as disease-associated concentration changes, structural stability, and high abundance in body fluids make them promising prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the term in use to describe MI's early phase, is generally diagnosed by physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and the presence of specific biomarkers. In this regard, compared to standard MI biomarkers, such as the cardiac troponin isoforms (cTnT & cTnI) and the Creatinine Kinase (CK), ncRNAs appears to provide better sensitivity and specificity, ensuring a rapid and correct diagnosis, an earlier treatment, and consequently a good prognosis for the patients. This review aims to summarize and discuss the most promising and recent data on the potential clinical use of circulating ncRNAs as MI biomarkers. Specifically, we focused primarily on miRNAs and lncRNAs, highlighting their significant specificity and sensitivity, discussing their limitations, and suggesting possible overcoming approaches.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRs) are promising diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic biomolecules for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerotic occlusive disease concerns a large population of patients, carrying the highest incidence of fatal and non-fatal adverse events, such as myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and limb ischemia, worldwide. Consistently, miRs are involved in regulation and pathogenesis of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD), acute coronary syndromes (ACS), both with ST-segment (STEMI) and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarctions (NSTEMI), as well as cardiac remodeling and fibrosis following ACS. However, the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying adverse outcomes in CAD are multifactorial, and sometimes difficult to interpret for clinicians. Therefore, in the present review paper we have focused on the clinical meaning and the interpretation of various miRs findings, and their potential application in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has the characteristics of sudden onset, rapid progression, poor prognosis, and so on. Therefore, it is urgent to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for it. Cuproptosis is a new form of mitochondrial respiratory-dependent cell death. However, studies are limited on the clinical significance of cuproptosis-related genes (CRGs) in AMI. In this study, we systematically assessed the genetic alterations of CRGs in AMI by bioinformatics approach. The results showed that six CRGs (LIAS, LIPT1, DLAT, PDHB, MTF1, and GLS) were markedly differentially expressed between stable coronary heart disease (stable_CAD) and AMI. Correlation analysis indicated that CRGs were closely correlated with N6-methyladenosine (m6A)-related genes through R language “corrplot” package, especially GLS was positively correlated with FMR1 and MTF1 was negatively correlated with HNRNPA2B1. Immune landscape analysis results revealed that CRGs were closely related to various immune cells, especially GLS was positively correlated with T cells CD4 memory resting and negatively correlated with monocytes. Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated that the group with high DLAT expression had a better prognosis. The area under curve (AUC) certified that GLS had good diagnostic value, in the training set (AUC = 0.87) and verification set (ACU = 0.99). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) suggested that GLS was associated with immune- and hypoxia-related pathways. In addition, Gene Ontology (GO) analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) analysis, transcription factor (TF), and compound prediction were performed to reveal the regulatory mechanism of CRGs in AMI. Overall, our study can provide additional information for understanding the role of CRGs in AMI, which may provide new insights into the identification of therapeutic targets for AMI.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the prime cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although noticeable progress has been made in the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment, there is still a critical demand for new diagnostic biomarkers and novel therapeutic interventions to reduce this disease incidence. Many investigations have been conducted on the regulatory effects of microRNAs in cardiovascular diseases. miRNA circulating serum level changes are correlated with several CVDs. In addition, there is growing evidence representing the potential role of miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers or potential therapeutic targets for CVD. Preliminary studies identified the prominent role of miR-146 in host defense, innate immunity, and different immunological diseases by regulating cytokine production and innate immunity modification in bacterial infections. However, more recently, it was also associated with CVD development. miR-146 has received much attention, with positive results in most studies. Research demonstrated the crucial role of this molecule in the pathogenesis of cardiac disease and related mechanisms. As a result, many potential applications of miR-146 are expected. In this paper, we provide an overview of recent studies highlighting the role of miR-146 in CVD, focusing on CAD (coronary artery disease), cardiomyopathy, and MI (myocardial infarction) in particular and discussing its current scientific state, and use a prognostic biomarker as a therapeutic agent for cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide despite continuous advances in diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic methods. Myocardial work (MW) indices and miRNAs have both emerged as potential prognostic markers in acute coronary syndromes in recent years. In this study we aim to assess the prognostic role of myocardial work indices and of a group of miRNAs in young patients with STEMI. We enrolled 50 young patients (<55 years) with STEMI who underwent primary PCI and 10 healthy age-matched controls. We performed standard 2D and 3D echocardiography; we also calculated left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and the derived myocardial work indices. Using RT-PCR we determined the plasmatic levels of six miRNAs: miR-223-3p, miR-142-3p, miR-146a-5p, miR-125a-5p, miR-486-5p and miR-155-5p. We assessed the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) at up to one year after STEMI. Out of 50 patients, 18% experienced MACE at the one-year follow-up. In a Cox univariate logistic regression analysis, myocardial work indices were all significantly associated with MACE. The ROC analysis showed that GWI, GCW and GWE as a group have a better predictive value for MACE than each separately (AUC 0.951, p = 0.000). Patients with higher miRNAs values at baseline (miR-223-3p, miR-142-3p and miR-146a-5p) appear to have a higher probability of developing adverse events at 12 months of follow-up. ROC curves outlined for each variable confirmed their good predictive value (AUC = 0.832, p = 0.002 for miR-223-3p; AUC = 0.732, p = 0.031 for miR-142-3p and AUC = 0.848, p = 0.001 for miR-146a-5p); the group of three miRNAs also proved to have a better predictive value for MACE together than separately (AUC = 0.862). Moreover, adding each of the miRNAs (miR-233, miR-142-3p and miR-146a-5p) or all together over the myocardial work indices in the regression models improved their prognostic value. In conclusion, both myocardial work indices (GWI, GCW and GWE) and three miRNAs (miR-223-3p, miR-142-3p and miR-146a-5p) have the potential to be used as prognostic markers for adverse events after acute myocardial infarction. The combination of miRNAs and MW indices (measured at baseline) rather than each separately has very good predictive value for MACE in young STEMI patients (C-statistic 0.977).

Abstract
Background Bone marrow cells (BMCs), especially mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), have shown attractive application prospects in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, the weak efficacy becomes their main limitation in clinical translation. Based on the anti-inflammation and anti-apoptosis effects of a Chinese medicine-Tongxinluo (TXL), we aimed to explore the effects of TXL-pretreated MSCs (MSCsTXL) in enhancing cardiac repair and further investigated the underlying mechanism. Methods MSCsTXL or MSCs and the derived exosomes (MSCsTXL-exo or MSCs-exo) were collected and injected into the infarct zone of rat hearts. In vivo, the anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammation effects, and cardiac functional and histological recovery were evaluated. In vitro, the apoptosis was evaluated by western blotting and flow cytometry. miRNA sequencing was utilized to identify the significant differentially expressed miRNAs between MSCsTXL-exo and MSCs-exo, and the miRNA mimics and inhibitors were applied to explore the specific mechanism. Results Compared to MSCs, MSCsTXL enhanced cardiac repair with reduced cardiomyocytes apoptosis and inflammation at the early stage of AMI and significantly improved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) with reduced infarct size in an exosome-dependent way. Similarly, MSCsTXL-exo exerted superior therapeutic effects in anti-apoptosis and anti-inflammation, as well as improving LVEF and reducing infarct size compared to MSCs-exo. Further exosomal miRNA analysis demonstrated that miR-146a-5p was the candidate effector of the superior effects of MSCsTXL-exo. Besides, miR-146a-5p targeted and decreased IRAK1, which inhibited the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 thus protecting H9C2 cells from hypoxia injury. Conclusions This study suggested that MSCsTXL markedly facilitated cardiac repair via a new mechanism of the exosomal transfer of miR-146a-5p targeting IRAK1/NF-κB p65 pathway, which has great potential for clinical translation.

MicroRNAs Promote the Progression of Sepsis-Induced Cardiomyopathy and Neurovascular Dysfunction Through Upregulation of NF-kappaB Signaling Pathway-Associated HDAC7/ACTN4. Front Neurol 2022; 13:909828. [PMID: 35756932 PMCID: PMC9218607 DOI: 10.3389/fneur.2022.909828] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2022] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the NF-kappaB pathway, hub genes, and transcription factors (TFs) in monocytes implicated in the progression of neurovascular-related sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC) as well as potential miRNAs with regulatory functions. Methods : Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy—and heart failure (HF)-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between SIC and HF groups were identified separately by differential analysis. In addition, DEGs and differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) in monocytes between sepsis and the HC group were identified. Then, common DEGs in SIC, HF, and monocyte groups were identified by intersection analysis. Based on the functional pathways enriched by these DEGs, genes related to the NF-kB-inducing kinase (NIK)/NF-kappaB signaling pathway were selected for further intersection analysis to obtain hub genes. These common DEGs, together with sepsis-related DEmiRNAs, were used to construct a molecular interplay network and to identify core TFs in the network. Results : A total of 153 upregulated genes and 25 downregulated genes were obtained from SIC-, HF-, and monocyte-related DEGs. Functional pathway analysis revealed that the upregulated genes were enriched in NF-κB signaling pathway. A total of eight genes associated with NF-κB signaling pathway were then further identified from the 178 DEGs. In combination with sepsis-related DEmiRNAs, HDAC7/ACTN4 was identified as a key transcriptional regulatory pair in the progression of SIC and in monocyte regulation. hsa-miR-23a-3p, hsa-miR-3175, and hsa-miR-23b-3p can regulate the progression of SIC through the regulation of HDAC7/ACTN4. Finally, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) suggested that HDAC7/ACTN4 may be associated with apoptosis in addition to the inflammatory response. Conclusion : hsa-miR-23a-3p, hsa-miR-3175, and hsa-miR-23b-3p are involved in SIC progression by regulating NF-κB signaling signaling pathway-related HDAC7/ACTN4 in monocytes and cardiac tissue cells. These mechanisms may contribute to sepsis-induced neurovascular damage.

Impaired regulation of MMP2/16-MLCK3 by miR-146a-5p increased susceptibility to myocardial ischemic injury in aging mice. Cardiovasc Res 2022; 119:786-801. [PMID: 35727952 PMCID: PMC10153423 DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvac104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2020] [Revised: 05/11/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS Aging impairs cardiac function and increases susceptibility to myocardial ischemic injury. Cardiac myosin light chain kinase (MLCK3) phosphorylates cardiac myosin regulatory light chain (MLC2), controlling sarcomere organization and cardiomyocyte contraction. Dysregulation of MLCK3 and phosphorylated MLC2 (p-MLC2) contributes to heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI). We aimed at exploring how the MLCK3-p-MLC2 axis changes in aging hearts post MI and at investigating the underlying regulatory mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS We generated adult (3 months) and aged (30 months) MI mouse models to compare their cardiac performance, and then detected MLCK3 expression and MLC2 activity. Aging increased the size of MI-induced infarctions and promoted cardiac contractile dysfunction. Furthermore, MLCK3 expression and MLC2 activity increased in adult hearts after MI, but not in aged hearts. miR-146a was found consistently increased in adult and aged hearts post-MI. Mechanistic analyses performed in vitro demonstrated that miR-146a-5p downregulated matrix metalloprotease (MMP)2/16 expression in cardiomyocytes. This downregulation in turn increased MLCK3 expression and MLC2 activity. However, miR-146a-5p failed to regulate the MMP2/16-MLCK3-p-MLC2 axis in senescent cardiomyocytes or in cardiac miR-146a conditional knockout mice, with the latter experiencing an exacerbated deterioration of cardiac function post-MI. CONCLUSION These results suggest that increase of MLCK3 and p-MLC2 contents through decreasing MMP2/16 by miR-146a-5p represents a compensatory mechanism that can protect cardiac contractile function after MI. Aging impairs this miR-146a-5p-regulated MMP2/16-MLCK3-p-MLC2 contractile axis, leading to compromised contractile function and increased susceptibility to heart failure.

Usefullness of MicroRNAs in Predicting the Clinical Outcome of Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction During Follow-Up: A Systematic Review. Genet Test Mol Biomarkers 2022; 26:277-289.

Abstract
Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is reported as the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. It is associated with a 30% mortality rate. Echocardiography, coronary angiography, and biomarkers like cardiac troponins are employed as prognostic tests. Although these biomarkers are the gold standard for the diagnosis of MI, they are not accurate as prognostic markers due to their lack of specificity. Studies have suggested that dysregulation of specific microRNAs (miRNAs) influences post-MI complications during follow-up. However, the findings of these studies have several inconsistencies. This systematic review was performed to investigate the potential of miRNAs to predict clinical outcomes post-MI. Methodology: Pubmed and Google Scholar databases were used for identifying research articles published from inception till August 2021; the search terms included "microRNAs" AND "prognosis" AND "myocardial infarction" or "acute coronary syndrome." All the articles included were critically analyzed using STROBE guidelines. Results and Conclusion: Several miRNAs were elevated in MI patients, including miR-208b, miR-499, and miR-375. Association of these miRNA levels with the outcome of MI, such as all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events during follow-up, were also reported. However, none of the studies included in this systematic review exhibited promising evidence that these miRNAs can be utilized as ideal biomarkers for prognosis post-MI. Understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis and progression of MI is crucial. Hence, these findings can be used as a guide when performing further experimental studies to identify useful post-MI prognostic markers.

Role of Cardiomyocyte-Derived Exosomal MicroRNA-146a-5p in Macrophage Polarization and Activation. DISEASE MARKERS 2022; 2022:2948578. [PMID: 35548775 PMCID: PMC9085364 DOI: 10.1155/2022/2948578] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/19/2021] [Revised: 01/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/06/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
Myocardial infarction arises from an excessive or prolonged inflammatory response, leading to ventricular remodeling or impaired cardiac function. Macrophages exhibit different polarization types associated with inflammation both at steady state and after myocardial infarction. Exosomal miR-146a-5p has been identified as an important molecule in the cardiovascular field in recent years. However, the effect of cardiomyocyte-derived exosomal miR-146a-5p on macrophages has not yet been elucidated. Initially, we found that exosomes with low expression of miR-146a-5p derived from myocardial infarction tissues modulated macrophage polarization. To determine whether cardiomyocyte-derived exosomal miR-146a-5p mediated macrophage polarization, we treated macrophages with exosomes rich in miR-146a-5p collected from neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes. The effects of exosomal miR-146a-5p on macrophage polarization were measured using RT-qPCR, transwell assays, and western blotting. The results showed that the increased expression of miR-146a-5p promoted M1 macrophage polarization, inhibited M2 macrophage polarization, and increased the expression of VEGFA. However, the decreased expression of exosomalmiR-146a-5p showed the opposite trends. Interestingly, in contrast to treatment with the solitary miR-146a-5p mimic, exosomal miR-146a-5p derived from neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes reduced TNFα and iNOS expression. In addition, when macrophages were activated by the miR-146a-5p mimic or exosomal miR-146a-5p, the expression of TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), a target gene of miR-146a-5p, was reduced significantly. Taken together, these findings indicate that exosomal miR-146a-5p derived from cardiomyocytes could stimulate M1 macrophage polarization to induce an inflammatory reaction, while targeting TRAF6, exerting an anti-inflammatory effect. Exosomal miR-146a-5p plays important roles in macrophages, illuminating a novel potential therapeutic target in myocardial infarction.

Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a common cause of death in numerous countries. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of the disease and analyzing potential biomarkers of AMI is crucial. However, specific diagnostic biomarkers have thus far not been fully established and candidate regulatory targets for AMI remain to be determined. In the present study, the AMI gene chip dataset GSE48060 comprising blood samples from control subjects with normal cardiac function (n=21) and patients with AMI (n=26) was downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the AMI and control groups were identified with the online tool GEO2R. The co-expression network of DEGs was analyzed by calculating the Pearson correlation coefficient of all gene pairs, mutual rank screening and cutoff threshold screening. Subsequently, the Gene Ontology (GO) database was used to analyze the genes' functions and pathway enrichment of genes in the most important modules was performed. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) Disease and BioCyc were used to analyze the hub genes in the module to determine important sub-pathways. In addition, the expression of hub genes was confirmed by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR in AMI and control specimens. In the present study, 52 DEGs, including 26 upregulated and 26 downregulated genes, were identified. As key hub genes, three upregulated genes (AKR1C3, RPS24 and P2RY12) and three downregulated genes (ACSL1, B3GNT5 and MGAM) were identified from the co-expression network. Furthermore, GO enrichment analysis of all AMI co-expression network genes revealed functional enrichment mainly in ‘RAGE receptor binding’ and ‘negative regulation of T cell cytokine production’. In addition, KEGG Disease and BioCyc analysis indicated functional enrichment of the genes RPS24 and P2RY12 in ‘cardiovascular diseases’, of AKR1C3 in ‘cardenolide biosynthesis’, of MGAM in ‘glycogenolysis’, of B3GNT5 in ‘glycosphingolipid biosynthesis’ and of ACSL1 in ‘icosapentaenoate biosynthesis II’. In conclusion, the hub genes AKR1C3, RPS24, P2RY12, ACSL1, B3GNT5 and MGAM are potential markers of AMI, and have potential application value in the diagnosis of AMI.

Marathon-Induced Cardiac Strain as Model for the Evaluation of Diagnostic microRNAs for Acute Myocardial Infarction. J Clin Med 2021; 11:jcm11010005. [PMID: 35011745 PMCID: PMC8745173 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11010005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/21/2021] [Revised: 12/16/2021] [Accepted: 12/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The current gold standard biomarker for myocardial infarction (MI), cardiac troponin (cTn), is recognized for its high sensitivity and organ specificity; however, it lacks diagnostic specificity. Numerous studies have introduced circulating microRNAs as potential biomarkers for MI. This study investigates the MI-specificity of these serum microRNAs by investigating myocardial stress/injury due to strenuous exercise. Methods: MicroRNA biomarkers were retrieved by comprehensive review of 109 publications on diagnostic serum microRNAs for MI. MicroRNA levels were first measured by next-generation sequencing in pooled sera from runners (n = 46) before and after conducting a full competitive marathon. Hereafter, reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) of 10 selected serum microRNAs in 210 marathon runners was performed (>10,000 qPCR measurements). Results: 27 potential diagnostic microRNA for MI were retrieved by the literature review. Eight microRNAs (miR-1-3p, miR-21-5p, miR-26a-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-133a-3p, miR-142-5p, miR-191-5p, miR-486-3p) showed positive correlations with cTnT in marathon runners, whereas two miRNAs (miR-134-5p and miR-499a-5p) showed no correlations. Upregulation of miR-133a-3p (p = 0.03) and miR-142-5p (p = 0.01) went along with elevated cTnT after marathon. Conclusion: Some MI-associated microRNAs (e.g., miR-133a-3p and miR-142-5p) have similar kinetics under strenuous exercise and MI as compared to cTnT, which suggests that their diagnostic specificity could be limited. In contrast, several MI-associated microRNAs (miR-26a-5p, miR-134-5p, miR-191-5p) showed different release behavior; hence, combining cTnT with these microRNAs within a multi-marker strategy may add diagnostic accuracy in MI.

Abstract
Regardless of the newly diagnostic and therapeutic advances, coronary artery disease (CAD) and more explicitly, ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Thus, early and prompt diagnosis of cardiac dysfunction is pivotal in STEMI patients for a better prognosis and outcome. In recent years, microRNAs (miRNAs) gained attention as potential biomarkers in myocardial infarction (MI) and acute coronary syndromes (ACS), as they have key roles in heart development, various cardiac processes, and act as indicators of cardiac damage. In this review, we describe the current available knowledge about cardiac miRNAs and their functions, and focus mainly on their potential use as novel circulating diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in STEMI.

Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to identify maternal circulating exosomal miRNAs as potential non-invasive biomarkers for the early detection of fetal ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Methods: In total, 182 pregnant women, comprising 91 VSD cases and 91 matched controls, were included in this study. Exosomes were isolated; dysregulated exosomal miRNAs were profiled using next-generation sequencing. Differential abundance of miRNAs was verified using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by constructing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Results: In total, 77 serum exosomal miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed in the VSD group compared to their expression in the control group. Among these, five downregulated exosomal miRNAs were validated using qRT-PCR. hsa-miR-146a-5p was identified to be capable of distinguishing VSD cases from controls (area under the ROC curve [AUC]: 0.997; p < 1.00E-05). Conclusion: Circulating exosomal miRNAs, particularly hsa-miR-146a-5p, may be predictive biomarkers for the non-invasive prenatal diagnosis of fetal VSDs.

MicroRNA-23a reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced cellular apoptosis and inflammatory cytokine production through Rho-associated kinase 1/sirtuin-1/nuclear factor-kappa B crosstalk. Chin Med J (Engl) 2021; 134:829-839. [PMID: 33538509 PMCID: PMC8104237 DOI: 10.1097/cm9.0000000000001369] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: MicroRNAs are closely associated with the progression and outcomes of multiple human diseases, including sepsis. In this study, we examined the role of miR-23a in septic injury. Methods: Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to induce sepsis in a rat model and H9C2 and HK-2 cells. miR-23a expression was evaluated in rat myocardial and kidney tissues, as well as H9C2 and HK-2 cells. A miR-23a mimic was introduced into cells to identify the role of miR-23a in cell viability, apoptosis, and the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. Furthermore, the effect of Rho-associated kinase 1 (ROCK1), a miR-23a target, on cell damage was evaluated, and molecules involved in the underlying mechanism were identified. Results: In the rat model, miR-23a was poorly expressed in myocardial (sham vs. sepsis 1.00 ± 0.06 vs. 0.27 ± 0.03, P < 0.01) and kidney tissues (sham vs. sepsis 0.27 ± 0.03 vs. 1.00 ± 0.06, P < 0.01). Artificial overexpression of miR-23a resulted in increased proliferative activity (DNA replication rate: Control vs. LPS vs. LPS + Mock vs. LPS + miR-23a: H9C2 cells: 34.13 ± 3.12 vs. 12.94 ± 1.21 vs. 13.31 ± 1.43 vs. 22.94 ± 2.26, P < 0.05; HK-2 cells: 15.17 ± 1.43 vs. 34.52 ± 3.46 vs. 35.19 ± 3.12 vs. 19.87 ± 1.52, P < 0.05), decreased cell apoptosis (Control vs. LPS vs. LPS + Mock vs. LPS + miR-23a: H9C2 cells: 11.39 ± 1.04 vs. 32.57 ± 2.29 vs. 33.08 ± 3.12 vs. 21.63 ± 2.35, P < 0.05; HK-2 cells: 15.17 ± 1.43 vs. 34.52 ± 3.46 vs. 35.19 ± 3.12 vs. 19.87 ± 1.52, P < 0.05), and decreased production of inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin-6 (Control vs. LPS vs. LPS + Mock vs. LPS + miR-23a: H9C2 cells: 59.61 ± 5.14 vs. 113.54 ± 12.30 vs. 116.51 ± 10.69 vs. 87.69 ± 2.97 ng/mL; P < 0.05, F = 12.67, HK-2 cells: 68.12 ± 6.44 vs. 139.65 ± 16.62 vs. 143.51 ± 13.64 vs. 100.82 ± 9.74 ng/mL, P < 0.05, F = 9.83) and tumor necrosis factor-α (Control vs. LPS vs. LPS + Mock vs. LPS + miR-23a: H9C2 cells: 103.20 ± 10.31 vs. 169.67 ± 18.84 vs. 173.61 ± 15.91 vs. 133.36 ± 12.32 ng/mL, P < 0.05, F = 12.67, HK-2 cells: 132.51 ± 13.37 vs. 187.47 ± 16.74 vs. 143.51 ± 13.64 vs. 155.79 ± 15.31 ng/mL, P < 0.05, F = 9.83) in cells. However, ROCK1 was identified as a miR-23a target, and further up-regulation of ROCK1 mitigated the protective function of miR-23a in LPS-treated H9C2 and HK-2 cells. Moreover, ROCK1 suppressed sirtuin-1 (SIRT1) expression to promote the phosphorylation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65, indicating the possible involvement of this signaling pathway in miR-23a-mediated events. Conclusion: Our results indicate that miR-23a could suppress LPS-induced cell damage and inflammatory cytokine secretion by binding to ROCK1, mediated through the potential participation of the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway.

PLoS One 2021; 16:e0246083. [PMID: 33497386 PMCID: PMC7837479 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0246083] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2020] [Accepted: 01/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective Cardiac sarcoidosis is difficult to diagnose, often requiring expensive and inconvenient advanced imaging techniques. Circulating exosomes contain genetic material, such as microRNA (miRNA), that are derived from diseased tissues and may serve as potential disease-specific biomarkers. We thus sought to determine whether circulating exosome-derived miRNA expression patterns would distinguish cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) from acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods Plasma and serum samples conforming to CS, AMI or disease-free controls were procured from the Biologic Specimen and Data Repository Information Coordinating Center repository and National Jewish Health. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was performed on exosome-derived total RNA (n = 10 for each group), and miRNA expression levels were compared after normalization using housekeeping miRNA. Quality assurance measures excluded poor quality RNA samples. Differentially expressed (DE) miRNA patterns, based upon >2-fold change (p < 0.01), were established in CS compared to controls, and in CS compared to AMI. Relative expression of several DE-miRNA were validated by qRT-PCR. Results Despite the advanced age of the stored samples (~5–30 years), the quality of the exosome-derived miRNA was intact in ~88% of samples. Comparing plasma exosomal miRNA in CS versus controls, NGS yielded 18 DE transcripts (12 up-regulated, 6 down-regulated), including miRNA previously implicated in mechanisms of myocardial injury (miR-92, miR-21) and immune responses (miR-618, miR-27a). NGS further yielded 52 DE miRNA in serum exosomes from CS versus AMI: 5 up-regulated in CS; 47 up-regulated in AMI, including transcripts previously detected in AMI patients (miR-1-1, miR-133a, miR-208b, miR-423, miR-499). Five miRNAs with increased DE in CS included two isoforms of miR-624 and miR-144, previously reported as markers of cardiomyopathy. Conclusions MiRNA patterns of exosomes derived from CS and AMI patients are distinct, suggesting that circulating exosomal miRNA patterns could serve as disease biomarkers. Further studies are required to establish their specificity relative to other cardiac disorders.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) and vascular dysfunction are major causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Although extensively studied, the complete understanding of the pathophysiology behind PE remains unclear. Current reports indicate that exosomes are essential mediators in PE-related cardiovascular disease (CVDs). Exosomes are synthesized from multivesicular bodies (MVB) and contain functionally active microRNAs miRNAs). These miRNAs have been shown to mediate physiological and pathological functions through autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine signaling mechanisms. The role of miRNAs in pregnant women with PE has been studied extensively. However, little is known about the effect of exosomal miRNAs (exomiR) in PE. This paper will review and discuss the existing evidence for exomiR function in PE and highlight the need for future studies to explore the role that exomiR signatures have in cardiovascular dysfunction associated with PE.

Abstract
Background: Recent studies have shown that blood-based miRNAs are dysregulated in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and are therefore a potential tool for the diagnosis of AMI. Therefore, this study summarized and evaluated studies focused on microRNAs as novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of AMI from the last ten years. Methods: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central database, and EMBASE were searched between January 2010 and December 2019. Studies that assessed the diagnostic accuracy of circulating microRNAs in AMI were chosen. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, and area under the curve (AUC) were used to assess the test performance of miRNAs. Results: A total of 58 studies that included 8,206 participants assessed the diagnostic accuracy of circulating miRNAs in AMI. The main results of the meta-analyses are as follows: (1) Total miRNAs: the overall pooled sensitivity and specificity were 0.82 (95% CI: 0.79-0.85) and 0.87 (95% CI: 0.84-0.90), respectively. The AUC value was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.88-0.93) in the overall summary receiver operator characteristic (SROC) curve. (2) The panel of two miRNAs: sensitivity: 0.88 (95% CI: 0.77-0.94), specificity: 0.84 (95% CI: 0.72-0.91), AUC: 0.92 (95% CI: 0.90-0.94). (3) The panel of three miRNAs: sensitivity: 0.91 (95% CI: 0.85-0.94), specificity: 0.87 (95% CI: 0.77-0.92), AUC: 0.92 (95% CI: 0.89-0.94). (4) Results by types of miRNAs: miRNA-1: sensitivity: 0.78 (95% CI: 0.71-0.84), specificity: 0.86 (95% CI: 0.77-0.91), AUC: 0.88 (95% CI: 0.85-0.90); miRNA-133a: sensitivity: 0.85 (95% CI: 0.69-0.94), specificity: 0.92 (95% CI: 0.61-0.99), AUC: 0.93 (95% CI: 0.91-0.95); miRNA-208b: sensitivity: 0.80 (95% CI: 0.69-0.88), specificity: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.77-0.99), AUC: 0.91 (95% CI: 0.88-0.93); miRNA-499: sensitivity: 0.85 (95% CI: 0.77-0.91), specificity: 0.95 (95% CI: 0.89-0.98), AUC: 0.96 (95% CI: 0.94-0.97). Conclusion: miRNAs may be used as potential biomarkers for the detection of AMI. For single, stand-alone miRNAs, miRNA-499 may have better diagnostic accuracy compared to other miRNAs. We propose that a panel of multiple miRNAs with high sensitivity and specificity should be tested.

Genetic Dissection of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy with Myocardial RNA-Seq. Int J Mol Sci 2020; 21:ijms21093040. [PMID: 32344918 PMCID: PMC7246737 DOI: 10.3390/ijms21093040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2020] [Revised: 04/20/2020] [Accepted: 04/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited disorder of the myocardium, and pathogenic mutations in the sarcomere genes myosin heavy chain 7 (MYH7) and myosin-binding protein C (MYBPC3) explain 60%–70% of observed clinical cases. The heterogeneity of phenotypes observed in HCM patients, however, suggests that novel causative genes or genetic modifiers likely exist. Here, we systemically evaluated RNA-seq data from 28 HCM patients and 9 healthy controls with pathogenic variant identification, differential expression analysis, and gene co-expression and protein–protein interaction network analyses. We identified 43 potential pathogenic variants in 19 genes in 24 HCM patients. Genes with more than one variant included the following: MYBPC3, TTN, MYH7, PSEN2, and LDB3. A total of 2538 protein-coding genes, six microRNAs (miRNAs), and 1617 long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) were identified differentially expressed between the groups, including several well-characterized cardiomyopathy-related genes (ANKRD1, FHL2, TGFB3, miR-30d, and miR-154). Gene enrichment analysis revealed that those genes are significantly involved in heart development and physiology. Furthermore, we highlighted four subnetworks: mtDNA-subnetwork, DSP-subnetwork, MYH7-subnetwork, and MYBPC3-subnetwork, which could play significant roles in the progression of HCM. Our findings further illustrate that HCM is a complex disease, which results from mutations in multiple protein-coding genes, modulation by non-coding RNAs and perturbations in gene networks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the potential of microRNA (miR)-146a and miR-146b for predicting restenosis and rapid angiographic stenotic progression (RASP) risk in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. METHODS In total, 255 CHD patients who underwent PCI with DES were enrolled, and their baseline, procedural, and post procedure characteristics were recorded. Plasma samples were obtained before PCI treatment to detect the miR-146a and miR-146b expression by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Besides, restenosis and RASP occurrences were assessed based on coronary angiograms at 12 months after the surgery. RESULTS The occurrence rates of restenosis and RASP were 9.0% and 32.9% respectively in CHD patients who underwent PCI with DES. Furthermore, miR-146a and miR-146b expressions were elevated in CHD patients with restenosis compared with CHD patients without restenosis. Subsequent receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that miR-146a (area under the curve (AUC), 0.674; 95% CI, 0.567-0.781) and miR-146b (AUC, 0.801; 95% CI, 0.729-0.875) could predict increased restenosis risk, among which miR-146b numerically exhibited a better predictive value for higher restenosis risk. Besides, miR-146a and miR-146b expressions were raised in CHD patients with RASP compared with CHD patients without RASP. Followed ROC curve analysis illuminated that miR-146a (AUC, 0.772; 95% CI, 0.714-0.829) and miR-146b (AUC, 0.706; 95% CI, 0.644-0.769) presented similar values in predicting elevated RASP risk. CONCLUSION miR-146a and miR-146b predict increased restenosis and RASP risk in CHD patients who underwent PCI with DES.
