Popis: Background The coronary artery restenosis is a main problem in patients undergoing the stent implantation and angioplasty. The neointimal hyperplasia is one of the major causes for re-narrowing of blood vessels. Based on the prediction data, the aim of this study was to evaluate the PBMC miR-193b-3p and PLAU expression levels in patients with the stenosis of coronary arteries. Methods A total of sixty three individuals undergoing coronary artery angiography including In-stent restenosis (n = 21, restenosis>70%), Stent non-restenosis (n = 21, stenosis Results The miR-193b-3p was predicted to suppress the PLAU gene. The PLAU/miR193b-3p expression ratio was significantly increased in patients with In-stent restenosis conversely with control and Stent non-restenosis groups (P Conclusion The findings might suggest that the increase of monocyte PLAU gene expression is probably under control of miR-193b-3p. However, more investigations are needed to support the results.
