AI Article Synopsis

  • The study investigates the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD), highlighting the importance of their interactions.
  • Using data from CAD patients and controls, 534 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, with specific miRNAs linked to these DEGs, notably hsa-miR-92a-3p, which targeted the most genes.
  • CDKN2B-AS1 was found to regulate hsa-miR-92a-3p, suggesting that this lncRNA may act as a sponge for the miRNA, indicating a potential new regulatory mechanism in CAD involving the CDKN2B-AS1

Article Abstract

Background: LncRNAs, miRNAs, and the sponge effect between them exert diverse biological influences on the pathogenesis and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD), thus necessitating an exploration of the lncRNA-miRNA-gene regulatory network in CAD.

Methods: Expression profile GSE98583 was obtained from NCBI, containing the data of 12 CAD patients and 6 controls. Limma package was utilized to determine the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). Functional enrichment analysis was performed by DAVID. The CAD-related miRNA-DEG associations were retrieved via HMDD and miRTarBase, and the CAD-related lncRNA-miRNA associations were retrieved via LncRNADisease and starBase. The CAD-related lncRNA-miRNA-DEG regulatory network was constructed by combining these associations. The dual luciferase test was carried out to validate the connections among lncRNA, miRNA, and gene.

Results: Overall, 534 DEGs were identified between CAD samples and controls, including 243 up-regulated and 291 down-regulated, and were enriched in various gene ontology biological processes and KEGG pathways. The CAD-related miRNAs targeting DEGs included hsa-miR-206, has-miR-320b, has-miR-4513, has-miR-765, and has-miR-92a-3p, and hsa-miR-92a-3p regulated the most DEGs. In the lncRNA-miRNA associations, only CDKN2B-AS1 regulated the CAD-related miRNA, hsa-miR-92a-3p, which was validated using the dual luciferase test.

Conclusions: CDKN2B-AS1 may act as an hsa-miR-92a-3p sponge to regulate the downstream DEGs in CAD. CDKN2B-AS1/ hsa-miR-92a-3p/GATA2 might be a novel mechanism for CAD.

Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant preventable cause of postoperative morbidity and mortality after major abdominopelvic surgery that calls for extended VTE prophylaxis (eVTEp). Literature suggests that significant racial disparities may exist in post-operative care.

Objective: The study sought to examine if racial disparities exist in the administration of eVTEp after hysterectomy in a statewide collaborative.

Ventricular arrhythmias induced by ischemia/reperfusion injury limits the therapeutic effect of early reperfusion therapy for acute myocardial infarction. This study investigated the protective effects of the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) agonist clenbuterol against ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrhythmias and the underlying mechanism. Anesthetized rats were subjected to 10-min left coronary artery occlusion and 10-min reperfusion in vivo.

Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes of ischemic cardiovascular disease worldwide. Recent studies indicated that vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) play an indispensable role in the progression of atherosclerosis. Exosomes derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated promising clinical applications in the treatment of atherosclerosis.
