Circulating miR-29a, Among Other Up-Regulated MicroRNAs, Is the Only Biomarker for Both Hypertrophy and Fibrosis in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Abstract: Our data suggest that cardiac remodeling associated with HCM determines a significant release of miRNAs into the bloodstream: the circulating levels of both cardiac- and non-cardiac-specific miRNAs are significantly increased in the plasma of HCM patients. However, correlation with left ventricular hypertrophy parameters holds true for only a few miRNAs (i.e., miR-199a-5p, -27a, and -29a), whereas only miR-29a is significantly associated with both hypertrophy and fibrosis, identifying it as a potential biomark… Show more

“…Overall, however, physiological stimuli and comorbidities seem to exert a modest impact especially on the phenotypic expression of HCM. Future research targeting HCM variability should rather focus on molecular aspects including modifier genes, epigenetic factors, and the role of regulatory systems such as microRNAs, the ubiquitine‐proteasome complex, or nonsense‐mediated RNA decay 78, 79…”

“…miRNAs are already being used commercially as disease biomarkers in oncology [17]. There is evidence for the use miRNAs as biomarkers in a wide range of diseases including prostate cancer [36], cardiac disease [37], acute kidney injury [38], and Alzheimer's disease [39]. If we could identify miRNAs that could be used as biomarkers for PCOS, the diagnosis and treatment of PCOS would be revolutionized.…”

“…It is widely accepted that deregulated expression levels of certain miRNAs directly participate in the development and progression of numerous types of human cancer. In addition to its role in cancer, miR-29a has also been demonstrated to be associated with osteoblastic differentiation (15), myogenesis (16), sclerosis (17), fibrosis (18), HIV-1 replication (19), diabetes (20) and Alzheimer's disease (21). In the current study, it was identified that overexpression of miR-29a markedly suppressed the migratory and invasive capacities of gastric cancer cells.…”
