Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are potential biomarkers for cardiovascular diseases. Our study aimed to determine whether miR-22-5p, miR-132-5p, and miR-150-3p represent novel biomarkers for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Plasma samples were isolated from 35 AMI patients and 55 matched controls. Total RNA was extracted, and quantitative real-time PCR and ELISA were performed to investigate the expressions of miRNAs and cardiac troponin I (cTnI), respectively. We found that plasma levels of miR-22-5p and miR-150-3p were significantly higher during the early stage of AMI and their expression levels peaked earlier than cTnI. Conversely, circulating miR-132-5p was sustained at a low level during the early phase of AMI. All three circulating miRNAs were correlated with plasma cTnI levels. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis suggested that each single miRNA had considerable diagnostic efficacy for AMI. Moreover, combining the three miRNAs improved their diagnostic efficacy. Furthermore, neither heparin nor medications for coronary heart disease (CHD) affected plasma levels of miR-22-5p and miR-132-5p, but circulating miR-150-3p was downregulated by medications for CHD. We concluded that plasma miR-22-5p, miR-132-5p, and miR-150-3p may serve as candidate diagnostic biomarkers for early diagnosis of AMI. Moreover, a panel consisting of these three miRNAs may achieve a higher diagnostic value.

Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is considered one of the most prominent causes of death from cardiovascular disease worldwide. Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying AMI remains limited. Accurate biomarkers are needed to predict the risk of AMI and would be beneficial for managing the incidence rate. The gold standard for the diagnosis of AMI, the cardiac troponin T (cTnT) assay, requires serial testing, and the timing of measurement with respect to symptoms affects the results. As attractive candidate diagnostic biomarkers in AMI, circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are easily detectable, generally stable and tissue specific. Methods The Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database was used to compare miRNA expression between AMI and control samples, and the interactions between miRNAs and mRNAs were analysed for expression and function. Furthermore, a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed. The miRNAs identified in the bioinformatic analysis were verified by RT-qPCR in an H9C2 cell line. The miRNAs in plasma samples from patients with AMI (n = 11) and healthy controls (n = 11) were used to construct receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to evaluate the clinical prognostic value of the identified miRNAs. Results We identified eight novel miRNAs as potential candidate diagnostic biomarkers for patients with AMI. In addition, the predicted target genes provide insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying AMI.

Background: A recent study disclosed that ferroptosis was an important myocyte death style in myocardial infarction (MI). However, the diagnostic value of ferroptosis regulators and correlated underlying mechanisms in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remain unknown.Methods: Bioinformatical analyses were conducted to identify the candidate biomarkers for AMI, and the collected local samples were used to validate the findings via real-time quantitative PCR. Bioinformatical analysis and luciferase reporter assay were implemented to identify the transcriptional factor. Transient transfection and ferroptosis characteristic measurement, including glutathione peroxidase 4, malondialdehyde, iron, and glutathione, was performed to verify the ability of the candidate gene to regulate the ferroptosis of cardiomyocytes. A meta-analysis was conducted in multiple independent cohorts to clarify the diagnostic value.Results: A total of 121 ferroptosis regulators were extracted from previous studies, and aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3) was significantly downregulated in the peripheral blood samples of AMI cases from the analysis of GSE48060 and GSE97320. HOXB4 served as a transcriptional activator for AKR1C3 and could suppress the ferroptosis of the H9C2 cells treated with erastin. Besides this, peripheral blood samples from 16 AMI patients and 16 patients without coronary atherosclerotic disease were collected, where AKR1C3 and HOXB4 both showed a high diagnostic ability. Furthermore, a nomogram including HOXB4 and AKR1C3 was established and successfully validated in six independent datasets. A clinical correlation analysis displayed that AKR1C3 and HOXB4 were correlated with smoking, CK, CK-MB, and N-terminal-pro-B-type natriuretic peptide.Conclusion: Taken together, this study demonstrates that AKR1C3 and HOXB4 are promising diagnostic biomarkers, providing novel insights into the ferroptosis mechanisms of AMI.

The pathogenesis of the arteriosclerosis in the acute myocardial infarction is the matter of the extensive survey with the transmission electron microscopy in experimental and clinical materials. In the previous communication,the authors have clarified that the two types of the coronary vascular changes could exist. The first category is the case in which we had failed to observe no occlusive changes of the coronary vessels which eventually form the myocardial infarction. The next category is the case in which occlusive -thrombotic changes are observed in which the myocardial infarction will be taken placed as the final event. The authors incline to designate the former category as the non-occlusive-non thrombotic lesions. The most important findings in both cases are the “mechanical destruction of the vascular wall and imbibition of the serous component” which are most frequently observed at the proximal portion of the coronary main trunk.
