Loggini A, Hornik J, Hornik A. The role of microRNAs as super-early biomarkers in acute ischemic stroke: A systematic review. Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2024; 244:108416. [PMID: 38959787 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2024.108416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/22/2023] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/28/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, no biomarkers have been validated in acute ischemic stroke, and its diagnosis currently relies on clinical judgement and radiographic findings. The presence of circulating microRNAs in the setting AIS has grown significant attention in recent years. This study aims to summarize the evidence of microRNAs as super-early biomarkers (within 12 hours from last known well) and determine their temporal expression in AIS. METHODS This review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement recommendations. Three databases were searched (Pubmed, Scopus, and Cochrane) for case-control studies comparing the expression of microRNAs in AIS patients and healthy controls. Risk of bias was computed using the QUADAS-2 Scale tool. The review protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42023454012). RESULTS A total of 186 articles were screened and 6 full-text articles were included in this review, involving 441 AIS and 307 controls. Samples were obtained from blood in three studies, plasma in two studies, and serum in one study. All studies utilized RT-qPCR as quantification method. One study included only patients with large artery atherosclerosis. Eleven microRNAs were found to be overexpressed and seven underexpressed in AIS. No single microRNA was validated in two separate studies. The misexpressed microRNAs were associated with inflammation, platelet activation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis. Two studies followed the temporal expression of microRNAs. miR-125b-5p and miR-143-3p (inflammation, angiogenesis, and apoptosis) normalized at 90 days. miR-125a-5p (angiogenesis) remained elevated. The heterogeneity in temporal sampling and microRNAs detected did not allow to perform a quantitative analysis. Qualitative analysis of each study revealed an overall moderate risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS This review suggests the promising potential role of microRNAs as adjuvant tool in the early diagnosis of AIS. Further larger studies are needed to corroborate these findings and discover a reliable and reproducible biomarker.

Differentially expressed miRNA profiles of serum derived extracellular vesicles from patients with acute ischemic stroke. Brain Res 2024:149171. [PMID: 39168264 DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.149171] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2024] [Revised: 08/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/17/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) participate in diverse cellular changes following acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Circulating miRNAs, stabilized and delivered to target cells via extracellular vesicles (EVs), are potential biomarkers to facilitate diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic modulation. We aimed to identify distinctive expression patterns of circulating EV-miRNAs in AIS patients. METHODS miRNA profiles from EVs, isolated from plasma samples collected within 24 h following AIS diagnosis, were examined between a dataset of 10 age-, gender- and existing comorbidities-matched subjects (5 AIS and 5 healthy controls, HC). We measured 2578 miRNAs and identified differentially expressed miRNAs between AIS and HC. An enrichment analysis was conducted to delineate the networks and biological pathways implicated by differentially expressed microRNAs. An enrichment analysis was conducted to delineate the networks and biological pathways implicated by differentially expressed microRNAs. RESULTS Five miRNAs were differentially expressed between stroke (AIS) versus control (HC). hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p, and hsa-miR-320c were upregulated, whereas hsa-miR-548a-3p and hsa-miR-6808-3p, with no previously reported changes in stroke were downregulated. The target genes of these miRNAs affect various cellular pathways including, RNA transport, autophagy, cell cycle progression, cellular senescence, and signaling pathways like mTOR, PI3K-Akt, and p53. Key hub genes within these networks include TP53, BCL2, Akt, CCND1, and NF-κB. These pathways are crucial for cellular function and stress response, and their dysregulation can have significant implications for the disease processes. CONCLUSION Our findings reveal distinct circulating EV-miRNA expression patterns in AIS patients from Qatar, highlighting potential biomarkers that could aid in stroke diagnosis and therapeutic strategies. The identified miRNAs are involved in critical cellular pathways, offering novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying stroke pathology. Circulating EV-miRNAs differentially expressed in AIS may have a pathophysiological role and may guide further research to elucidate their precise mechanisms.

Cells 2024; 13:207.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD), due to its multifactorial nature and complex etiology, poses challenges for research, diagnosis, and treatment, and impacts millions worldwide. To address the need for minimally invasive, repeatable measures that aid in AD diagnosis and progression monitoring, studies leveraging RNAs associated with extracellular vesicles (EVs) in human biofluids have revealed AD-associated changes. However, the validation of AD biomarkers has suffered from the collection of samples from differing points in the disease time course or a lack of confirmed AD diagnoses. Here, we integrate clinical diagnosis and postmortem pathology data to form more accurate experimental groups and use small RNA sequencing to show that EVs from plasma can serve as a potential source of RNAs that reflect disease-related changes. Importantly, we demonstrated that these changes are identifiable in the EVs of preclinical patients, years before symptom manifestation, and that machine learning models based on differentially expressed RNAs can help predict disease conversion or progression. This research offers critical insight into early disease biomarkers and underscores the significance of accounting for disease progression and pathology in human AD studies.

Abstract
Complex diseases that affect the functioning of the central nervous system pose a major problem for modern society. Among these, ischemic stroke (IS) holds a special place as one of the most common causes of disability and mortality worldwide. Furthermore, Alzheimer's disease (AD) ranks first among neurodegenerative diseases, drastically reducing brain activity and overall life quality and duration. Recent studies have shown that AD and IS share several common risk and pathogenic factors, such as an overlapping genomic architecture and molecular signature. In this review, we will summarize the genomics and RNA biology studies of IS and AD, discussing the interconnected nature of these pathologies. Additionally, we highlight specific genomic points and RNA molecules that can serve as potential tools in predicting the risks of diseases and developing effective therapies in the future.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Methods to alleviate functional deficits after ischemic stroke focus on restoration of cerebral blood flow to the affected area. However, pharmacological or surgical methods such as thrombolysis and thrombectomy have a narrow effective window. Harnessing and manipulating neurochemical processes of recovery may provide an alternative to these methods. Recently, non-coding RNA (ncRNA) have been increasingly investigated for their contributions to the pathology of diseases and potential for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Here we will review several ncRNA - H19, MALAT1, ANRIL, NEAT1, pseudogenes, small nucleolar RNA, piwi-interacting RNA and circular RNA - and their involvement in stroke pathology. We also examine these ncRNA as potential diagnostic biomarkers, particularly in circulating blood, and as targets for therapeutic interventions. An important aspect of this is a discussion of potential methods of treatment delivery to allow for targeting of interventions past the blood-brain barrier, including lipid nanoparticles, polymer nanoparticles, and viral and non-viral vectors. Overall, several long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) discussed here have strong implications for the development of pathology and functional recovery after ischemic stroke. LncRNAs H19 and ANRIL show potential as diagnostic biomarkers, while H19 and MALAT1 may prove to be effective therapeutics for both minimising damage as well as promoting recovery. Other ncRNA have also been implicated in ischemic stroke but are currently too poorly understood to make inferences for diagnosis or treatment. Whilst the field of ncRNAs is relatively new, significant work has already highlighted that ncRNAs represent a promising novel investigative tool for understanding stroke pathology, could be used as diagnostic biomarkers, and as targets for therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) refers to a momentary neurologic deficit caused by focal cerebral, spinal or retinal ischemic insult. TIA is associated with a high risk of impending acute ischemic stroke (AIS), a neurologic dysfunction characterized by focal cerebral, spinal or retinal infarction. Understanding the differences in molecular pathways in AIS and TIA has merit for deciphering the underlying cause for neuronal deficits with long-term effects and high risks of morbidity and mortality. In this study, we performed comprehensive investigations into the circulating microRNA (miRNA) profiles of AIS (n = 191) and TIA (n = 61) patients. We performed RNA-Seq on serum samples collected within 24 hrs of clinical diagnosis and randomly divided the study populations into discovery and validation cohorts. We identified a panel of 11 differentially regulated miRNAs at FDR < 0.05. Hsa-miR-548c-5p, -20a-5p, -18a-5p, -484, -652-3p, -486-3p, -24-3p, -181a-5p and -222-3p were upregulated, while hsa-miR-500a-3p and -206 were downregulated in AIS patients compared to TIA patients. We also probed the previously validated gene targets of our identified miRNA panel to highlight the molecular pathways affected in AIS. Moreover, we developed a multivariate classifier with potential utilization as a discriminative biomarker for AIS and TIA patients. The underlying molecular pathways in AIS compared to TIA may be explored further in functional studies for therapeutic targeting in clinical translation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stroke is one of the most common neurological diseases in the world and is clinically manifested by transient or permanent brain dysfunction. It has a high mortality and disability rate, which severely affects people's health and diminishes the quality of life. However, there is no efficient treatment that can be considered curative and there are other less well-known theories of pathogenesis. Therefore, it is imperative to gain a full understanding of the pathophysiology of ischemia and to seek new therapeutic strategies. METHODS We first examined Kir4.1 channel and myelin based protein (MBP) expression in brain tissues from acute ischemic patients by Western blotting. We then established a transient ischemic mouse model (tMCAO) to conduct molecular, cell biological, transmission electron microscopy and pharmacokinetic studies, as well as in Kir4.1 cKO mice. Finally, neuroimaging and behavioral analyses were used to examine whether activation of Kir4.1 channel by luteolin could contribute to neuronal functional recovery in ischemic stroke. FINDINGS In acute ischemic stroke patients, we first demonstrated that Kir4.1 ion channels were greatly impaired and a severe demyelination of axons occurred in ischemic infarction area of cerebral cortex in these patients. Further evidence showed that the deficits of Kir4.1 channels in NG2 glia led to the myelin loss of axons in a transient ischemic mouse model (tMCAO). Treating ischemic mice with a natural botanical extract, luteolin augmented Kir4.1 channel currents in NG2 glia and consequently promoted remyelination of axons, alleviated the infarction area and ultimately improved motor function in a series of behavioral tests. INTERPRETATION Targeting Kir4.1 ion channels expressed in NG2 glial cells by luteolin treatment highlights an effective therapeutic strategy for a prompt brain functional recovery in ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) is one of the leading causes of disability and mortality worldwide. This study aims to find the crucial exosomal miRNAs associated with IS by using bioinformatics methods, reveal potential biomarkers for IS, and investigate the association between the identified biomarker and immune cell pattern in the peripheral blood of IS patients. In this study, 3 up-regulated miRNAs (hsa-miR-15b-5p, hsa-miR-184, and hsa-miR-16-5p) miRNAs in the serum exosomes between IS patients and healthy controls from GEO database (GSE199942) and 25 down-regulated genes of peripheral blood mononuclear cells of IS patients from GSE22255 were obtained with the help of the R software. GO annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that the 25 down-regulated genes were associated with coenzyme metabolic process and were mainly enriched in the N-glycan biosynthesis pathway. Furthermore, we performed the LASSO algorithm to narrow down the above 25 intersected genes, and identified 8 key genes which had a good diagnostic value in discriminating IS patients from the healthy controls analyzed with ROC curve. CIBERSORT algorithm indicated that the abundance of M0 macrophages and resting mast cells was significantly lower than that of the control group. The spearman correlation analysis showed that STT3A was negatively correlated with the proportion of follicular helper T cells, activated NK cells and resting dendritic cells. Finally, GSE117064 showed that has-miR-16-5p was more advantageous for diagnosing stroke. In conclusion, hsa-miR-15b-5p, hsa-miR-184, and hsa-miR-16-5p are identified as specific related exosomal miRNAs for IS patients. These genes may provide new targets for the early identification of IS.

Abstract
miRNAs are small endogenous conserved non-coding RNA molecules that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression through mRNA degradation or translational inhibition, modulating nearly 60% of human genes. Cystic diseases are characterized by the presence of abnormal fluid-filled sacs in the body, and though most cysts are benign, they can grow inside tumors and turn malignant. Recent evidence has revealed that the aberrant expression of a number of miRNAs present in extracellular fluids, including plasma or serum, urine, saliva, follicular fluid, and semen, contribute to different cystic pathologies. This review aims to describe the role of different miRNAs in three worldwide relevant cystic diseases: polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and pancreatic cyst tumors (PCTs), as well as their potential use as novel biomarkers.

Abstract
miRNAs are small endogenous conserved non-coding RNA molecules that regulate post-transcriptional gene expression through mRNA degradation or translational inhibition, modulating nearly 60% of human genes. Cystic diseases are characterized by the presence of abnormal fluid-filled sacs in the body, and though most cysts are benign, they can grow inside tumors and turn malignant. Recent evidence has revealed that the aberrant expression of a number of miRNAs present in extracellular fluids, including plasma or serum, urine, saliva, follicular fluid, and semen, contribute to different cystic pathologies. This review aims to describe the role of different miRNAs in three worldwide relevant cystic diseases: polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), polycystic kidney disease (PKD), and pancreatic cyst tumors (PCTs), as well as their potential use as novel biomarkers.

Flow-Responsive Noncoding RNAs in the Vascular System: Basic Mechanisms for the Clinician. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11020459. [PMID: 35054151 PMCID: PMC8777617 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11020459] [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: 12/15/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
The vascular system is largely exposed to the effect of changing flow conditions. Vascular cells can sense flow and its changes. Flow sensing is of pivotal importance for vascular remodeling. In fact, it influences the development and progression of atherosclerosis, controls its location and has a major influx on the development of local complications. Despite its importance, the research community has traditionally paid scarce attention to studying the association between different flow conditions and vascular biology. More recently, a growing body of evidence has been accumulating, revealing that ncRNAs play a key role in the modulation of several biological processes linking flow-sensing to vascular pathophysiology. This review summarizes the most relevant evidence on ncRNAs that are directly or indirectly responsive to flow conditions to the benefit of the clinician, with a focus on the underpinning mechanisms and their potential application as disease biomarkers.
