Circulating Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Disease
According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, a biomarker is ‘a distinctive biological or biologically derived indicator (as a metabolite) of a process, event, or condition (as aging, disease, or oil formation)’ [1]. A biomarker can be structural, such as mammography or a coronary calcium scan, or functional, such as glomerular filtration rate or blood pressure, but the term biomarker is ...
متن کاملCirculating microRNAs: novel biomarkers and extracellular communicators in cardiovascular disease?
In the past few years, the crucial role of different micro-RNAs (miRNAs) in the cardiovascular system has been widely recognized. Recently, it was discovered that extracellular miRNAs circulate in the bloodstream and that such circulating miRNAs are remarkably stable. This has raised the possibility that miRNAs may be probed in the circulation and can serve as novel diagnostic markers. Although...
متن کاملCirculating Noncoding RNAs as Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Disease and Injury.
The discovery of thousands of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) has expanded our view on mammalian genomes and transcriptomes, as well as their organization and regulation. Accumulating evidence on aberrantly regulated ncRNAs, including short microRNAs, long ncRNAs and circular RNAs, across various heart diseases indicates that ncRNAs are critical contributors to cardiovascular pathophysiology. In additi...
متن کاملCirculating microRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers for cardiovascular
37 One of the major challenges in cardiovascular disease is the identification of reliable clinical 38 biomarkers which can be measured routinely in plasma. MicroRNAs were recently 39 discovered to circulate in the bloodstream in a remarkably stable form. Because of their 40 stability and often tissueand disease-specific expression, and the possibility to measure 41 them with high sensitivity a...
متن کاملCirculating MicroRNAs in cardiovascular disease.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, single-stranded, noncoding, highly conserved posttranscriptional regulators found in a variety of tissues including circulating blood.1 MicroRNAs regulate gene expression posttranscriptionally through inhibiting translation from and/or inducing degradation of specific RNAs.2 Certain miRNAs are expressed and function cell-type specifically or in association with par...
