Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common age-related neurodegenerative disease in the central nervous system and is the primary cause of dementia. It is clinically characterized by the memory impairment, aphasia, apraxia, agnosia, visuospatial and executive dysfunction, behavioral changes, and so on. Incidence of this disease was bound up with age, genetic factors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular dysfunction, and other basic diseases, but the exact etiology has not been clarified. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that were involved in the regulation of post-transcriptional gene expression. miRNAs have been extensively studied as noninvasive potential biomarkers for disease due to their relative stability in bodily fluids. In addition, they play a significant role in the physiological and pathological processes of various neurological disorders, including stroke, AD, and Parkinson's disease. MiR-155, as an important pro-inflammatory mediator of neuroinflammation, was reported to participate in the progression of β-amyloid peptide and tau via regulating immunity and inflammation. In this review, we put emphasis on the effects of miR-155 on AD and explore the underlying biological mechanisms which could provide a novel approach for diagnosis and treatment of AD.

Wenshen Yiqi Keli Mitigates the Proliferation and Migration of Cigarette Smoke Extract-Induced Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells through miR-155/FoxO3a Axis. EVIDENCE-BASED COMPLEMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE 2022; 2022:4427637. [DOI: 10.1155/2022/4427637] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2022] [Revised: 06/07/2022] [Accepted: 06/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Some domestic scholars revealed the effectiveness of Wenshen Yiqi Keli (WSYQKL) on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the exact mechanism of WSYQKL on COPD is fuzzy and needs further research. We adopted UPLC-Q/TOF-MS to analyze the chemical components of WSYQKL. In in vitro experiments, human airway smooth muscle cells (hASMCs) were intervened with 2.5% cigarette smoke extract (CSE), medicine serum of WSYQKL, miR-155 mimic, and FoxO3a silencing. Cell viability, proliferation, migration, and the expressions of miR-155, PCNA, Ki67, p21, p27, and FoxO3a were examined by cell counting kit-8, EdU staining, Transwell assay, scarification assay, qRT-PCR, immunol cytochemistry, and western blot, respectively. The association between miR-155 and FoxO3a was assessed by database and luciferase reporter gene analysis. We identified 47 kinds of chemical compositions of WSYQKL in ESI+ mode and 42 kinds of components of WSYQKL in ESI− mode. The medicine serum of WSYQKL strongly alleviated the proliferation and migration of hASMCs induced by CSE in a concentration-dependent manner. The medicine serum of WSYQKL enhanced the levels of p21, p27, and FoxO3a and weakened PCNA and Ki67 levels in hASMCs induced by CSE with the increase of concentration. MiR-155 mimic or FoxO3a silencing notably advanced CSE-treated HASMC viability, proliferation, migration, and the levels of PCNA and Ki67 and downregulated the levels of p21, p27, and FoxO3a in CSE-triggered hASMCs, which was reversed by WSYQKL-containing serum. Our results described that WSYQKL alleviated the proliferation and migration of hASMCs induced by CSE by modulating the miR-155/FoxO3a axis.

Abstract
It is now well-established that microRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of gene expression. The role of miRNAs in placental development and trophoblast function is constantly expanding. Trophoblast invasion and their ability to remodel uterine spiral arteries are essential for proper placental development and successful pregnancy outcome. Many miRNAs are reported to be dysregulated in pregnancy complications, especially preeclampsia and they exert various regulatory effects on trophoblasts. In this review, we provide a brief overview of miRNA biogenesis and their mechanism of action, as well as of trophoblasts differentiation, invasion and spiral artery remodeling. We then discuss the role of miRNAs in trophoblasts invasion and spiral artery remodeling, focusing on miRNAs that have been thoroughly investigated, especially using multiple model systems. We also discuss the potential role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study explored the miR-101 clinical significance in hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP). METHODS Pregnant women with gestational hypertension (GH)/mild preeclampsia (mPE)/severe preeclampsia (sPE) were included. The miR-101 levels were measured. Correlation between miR-101 and soluble fmslike tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), miR-101 predictive value, and factors influencing HDCP grade were evaluated. RESULTS Serum miR-101 was down-regulated and negatively correlated with sFlt-1. miR-101 was an independent risk factor for HDCP and decreased with HDCP severity. The area under the curve of miR-101 in differentiating GH from mPE and mPE from sPE was 0.7764 and 0.8529. CONCLUSION Serum miR-101 level may be a biomarker for grading HDCP.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important regulators of many cellular processes, and the dysregulation of miRNAs is associated with various diseases. MiR-100-5p is revealed to be downregulated in gestational hypertension, while its underlying regulatory mechanism remains unclear. The pathological condition of gestational hypertension was mimicked by the hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R) treatment to human placental microvascular endothelial cells (HPMECs). RT-qPCR and western blotting were conducted to detect the mRNA and protein expression of RNAs. HPMEC viability was assessed by CCK-8 assay. HPMEC angiogenesis was examined using tube formation assay. The concentrations of ANG-1 and ANG-2 in HPMECs were detected by ELISA. The binding relationship between miR-100-5p and homeodomain interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) was investigated using luciferase reporter assay. MiR-100-5p was downregulated in HPMECs after H/R treatment. MiR-100-5p overexpression reversed the H/R-induced decrease in viability, angiogenesis of HPMECs. HIPK2 was targeted by miR-100-5p in HPMECs, and miR-100-5p negatively modulated HIPK2 expression at the mRNA and protein levels. MiR-100-5p activated the PI3K/AKT pathway by downregulating HIPK2. Rescue assays demonstrated that miR-100-5p promoted the viability and angiogenesis of H/R treated HPMECs by targeting HIPK2 to activate the PI3K/AKT pathway. MiR-100-5p overexpression inhibits the dysfunction of HPMECs under hypoxia and reoxygenation by downregulating HIPK2 to activate the PI3K/AKT pathway.

Abstract
Aim MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules that serve as regulators following gene expression transcription. While studies have investigated the role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension (HT), very few have considered their place in the pathogenesis of resistant hypertension (RH). The purpose of this study was to investigate levels of miRNA 21 and miRNA 155 in RH and their relationships with aldosterone. Method Thirty-two normotensive patients, 30 newly diagnosed HT patients, and 20 RH patients were included in the study. Patients’ demographic data were recorded, and office blood pressure measurement and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (24-h ABPM) were performed. Blood specimens were collected for miRNA 21, miRNA 155 and aldosterone measurement. MiRNA 21 and miRNA 155 levels in the control and patient groups and their relations with other demographic and biochemical parameters were then subjected to analysis. Results No difference was determined in miRNA 155 levels between the groups, but miRNA 21 and aldosterone levels were significantly higher in the RH group (p < 0.001 and <0.05, respectively). At correlation analysis, miRNA 21 exhibited positive correlation with aldosterone, age, office SBP, 24-h ABPM all-day SBP. A 9.6 copy/uL level for miRNA 21 predicted presence or absence of RH with 95% sensitivity and 71% specificity (AUC:0.823, 95% CI (0.72–0.92). Conclusion The study results revealed significantly higher miRNA 21 and aldosterone in RH patients than in healthy individuals and newly diagnosed hypertensives.

Abstract
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the correlations of circadian rhythm disorder of blood pressure with arrhythmia and target organ damage in hypertensive patients. Material/Methods A total of 198 patients admitted and treated in our hospital from May 2018 to April 2019 were selected to receive 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The nighttime blood pressure decrease rate is 0–10% in people with normal circadian rhythm of blood pressure. In the present study, we divided patients into a normal circadian rhythm group (normal circadian rhythm of blood pressure, n=132) and a circadian rhythm disorder group (circadian rhythm disorder of blood pressure, n=66) according to the circadian rhythm of blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean pulse pressure (PP) were observed, and dynamic electrocardiography was performed to observe the status of arrhythmia. Finally, the degree of damage to target organs such as heart, brain, and kidney was compared. Results The circadian rhythm disorder group had remarkably higher daytime SBP (d-SBP), daytime DBP (d-DBP), and daytime PP (d-PP) but clearly lower nighttime SBP (n-SBP), nighttime DBP (n-DBP), and nighttime PP (n-PP) than in the normal circadian rhythm group (P<0.0001). The detection rate of arrhythmia and the degree of target organ damage were clearly higher in the circadian rhythm disorder group compared with the normal circadian rhythm group (P<0.0001). Moreover, the incidence rates of heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and nephropathy were higher in the circadian rhythm disorder group than in the normal circadian rhythm group (P<0.0001). Conclusions The circadian rhythm disorder of blood pressure in hypertensive patients probably increases the risk of arrhythmia and worsens the target organ damage, so attention should be paid to the adjustment of disordered blood pressure rhythm in hypertensive patients in clinical practice.
