Popis: Background Recent studies have reported that circulating microRNA (miR) can target different metalloproteases involved in matrix remodelling and plaque vulnerability. Consequently, they might have a role in the diagnosis and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. Aim. To quantify circulating miRs (miR126, miR146) which are suggested to have possible cardiovascular implications, as well as levels of MMP-1 and MMP-9, and to determine their association with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), global longitudinal strain (GLS), and arterial function, in patients with stable and unstable coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods 90 patients with CAD (61% men, 58+/-12 years), including 60 patients with ST elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) and 30 patients with stable CAD were assessed within 24 hours of admission by serum microRNA quantification (TaqMan PCR analysis), and serum MMP-1 and MMP-9 analysis (ELISA kits). 2D and 3D echocardiography were used to assess LVEF; speckle tracking was used to asses GLS; echo tracking, CAVI, and peripheral Doppler were used to assess arterial function (Young"s elastic modulus - EP and β index, arterial stiffness, and ABI). Results Circulating levels of miR146, miR126, MMP1, and MMP9 were significantly increased in patients with STEMI vs. stable CAD (95% CI 1.92-8.43, p = 0.002). miR126 correlated with LVEF (r=-.41, p = 0.03) and arterial stiffness (r=.44, and r=.42, p = 0.02 for L-CAVI and R-CAVI respectively) in patients with STEMI, and with arterial stiffness (r=-.72, p = 0.04, r=-.72, p = 0.01 for L-CAVI and R-CAVI respectively) and ABI (r=-.62, p = 0.04, r=-.62, p = 0.03 for L-ABI and R-ABI respectively) in patients with stable CAD. miR146 did not have any significant correlations. Both MMP-1 and MMP-9 correlated with LV function, LVEF ( r=-.27, p = 0.04, r=-.40, p = 0.01) and GLS (r=-.27, p = 0.03, r=-.26, p = 0.04) in patients with STEMI, and with arterial stiffness (r=.40, p = 0.03, for L-CAVI and r = 0.42, p = 0.02 for R-CAVI) in patients with stable CAD. Conclusion miR126 and both MMP1 and MMP9 are potential biomarkers of LV function in STEMI patients. Meanwhile, they correlate with arterial function in patients with stable CAD. However, further studies are needed to establish whether these new biomarkers have diagnosis and prognosis significance. Abstract P1777 Figure.
