چکیده

BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, single-stranded and non-coding RNAs, freely circulating in human plasma and correlating with vary pathologies. In this study, we monitored early myocardial injury and recovery after heart transplantation by detecting levels of circulating muscle-specific miR-133a, miR-133b and miR-208a. METHODS 7 consecutive patients underwent heart transplantation in Fuwai hospital and 14 healthy controls were included in our study. Peripheral vein blood was drawn from patients on the day just after transplantation (day 0), the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 7th and 14th day after transplantation respectively. Serum from peripheral blood was obtained for cardiac troponin I (cTnI) measurement. Plasma was centrifuged from peripheral blood for measuring miR-133a, miR-133b and miR-208a by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The plasma concentration of miRNAs were calculated by absolute quantification method. The sensitivity and specificity of circulating miRNAs were revealed by receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. Correlations between miRNAs and cTnI / perioperative parameters were analyzed. RESULTS Similar to cTnI, miR-133a, miR-133b and miR-208a all showed dynamic changes from high to low levels early after operation. The Sensitivity and specificity of miRNAs were: miR-133a (85.7%,100%), miR-208a (100%,100%), and miR-133b (90%,100%). Correlations between miRNAs and cTnI were statistically significant (p < 0.05), especially for miR-133b (R2 = 0.813, p < 0.001). MiR-133b from Day 0-Day 2 (r > 0.98, p < 0.01), and cTnI from Day 1- Day 3 (r > 0.86, p < 0.05) had strong correlations with bypass time, particularly parallel bypass time. Obviously, miR-133b had a better correlation than cTnI. Circulating miR-133b correlated well with parameters of heart function such as central venous pressure (CVP), pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP), cardiac output (CO) and inotrope support, while cTnI only correlated with 3 of the 4 parameters mentioned above. MiR-133b also had strong correlations with ventilation time (r > 0.99, p < 0.001) and length of ICU stay (r > 0.92, p < 0.05), both of which reflected the recovery after operation. The correlation coefficients of miR-133b were also higher than that of cTnI. CONCLUSIONS The dynamic change in circulating muscle-specific miRNAs, especially miR-133b can reflect early myocardial injury after heart transplantation. And miR-133b may have advantages over cTnI in forecasting graft dysfunction and recovery of patients after operation.

Title: Circulating Mirnas Reflect Early Myocardial Injury and Recovery after Heart Transplantation

1. Besides miR-133a, miR-133b and miR-208a, there are several other muscle-specific miRNAs, such as miR-1, etc. Why only these miRNAs were used in this study? 2. P2: qRT-PCR is not quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, but quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. 3. P6: “To date, no housekeeping miRNAs have been established and validated to normalize for the miR...

Heart Failure Loss of AngiomiR-126 and 130a in Angiogenic Early Outgrowth Cells From Patients With Chronic Heart Failure Role for Impaired In Vivo Neovascularization and Cardiac Repair Capacity

Background—MicroRNAs are key regulators of angiogenic processes. Administration of angiogenic early outgrowth cells (EOCs) or CD34 ϩ cells has been suggested to improve cardiac function after ischemic injury, in particular by promoting neovascularization. The present study therefore examines regulation of angiomiRs, microRNAs involved in angiogen-esis, in angiogenic EOCs and circulating CD34 ϩ ...

Plasma miR-208 as a biomarker of myocardial injury.

BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous small RNAs of 21-25 nucleotides that can pair with sites in 3' untranslated regions in mRNAs of protein-coding genes to downregulate their expression. Recently, circulating miRNAs have been reported as promising biomarkers for various pathologic conditions. We assessed the hypothesis that miRNAs may leak into the circulating blood from injured cells ...

Use of diffusion tensor imaging to predict myocardial viability after warm global ischemia: possible avenue for use of non-beating donor hearts.

BACKGROUND The assessment of myocardial viability after global warm ischemia (WI) but before reperfusion is challenging. We hypothesized that fractional anisotropy (FA), a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameter of water diffusion that characterizes cellular integrity within tissues, provides a rapid and useful method for evaluating the viability of hearts after WI. METHODS Dog hearts were...

Targeting microRNAs to promote cardiac repair and cardiomyocyte proliferation as a potential regenerative therapeutic approach

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important modulators of cardiovascular biology, repair, and regeneration. miRNAs posttranscriptionally regulate the expression of a network of proteins and consequently, cardiovascular development. miRNA targeting has been shown to: (i) improve the cardiac repair capacity of patient-derived circulating or bone marrow–derived mononuclear cells (BMCs); (ii) indu...
