microRNA-204-5p participates in atherosclerosis via targeting MMP-9

Abstract: AbstractThe aim of the present study was to investigate the role and mechanism of microRNA-204-5p (miR-204-5p) in atherosclerosis (AS)-related abnormal human vascular smooth muscle cells (hVSMCs) function. Firstly, we analyzed the expression of miR-204-5p and found that the miR-204-5p expression level was clearly downregulated in atherosclerotic plaque tissues and blood samples compared to the normal controls. Then, matrix metallopeptidase-9 (MMP-9) was predicted to be the pote… Show more

“…Reportedly, in atherosclerotic plaque tissue and blood samples, the expression level of miR-204-5p was markedly downregulated. Moreover, the overexpression of miR-204-5p may also reduce human vascular smooth muscle cell (hVSMCs) proliferation and migration while increasing hVSMC apoptosis [ 11 ]. Another study confirmed that miR-204 was downregulated in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) [ 12 ].…”

“…Furthermore, we demonstrated that miR-204 mediates the atheroprotective effects of NFATc3 in ApoE À/À mice (Liu et al, 2021). These were the main reasons for using the ApoE À/À (Liu et al, 2021;Wang, Yuan, et al, 2020), sera of diabetic patients (Wang, Ding, et al, 2020), and calcified artery tissues of patients with uremia (Lin et al, 2018). Notably, the cytoplasmic levels of mature miR-204-3p remained unchanged upon CsA treatment, whereas cytoplasmic pre-miR-204 levels were reduced.…”

“…MMP-9 is regarded as a new effective marker and a possible therapeutic target for diseases based on atherosclerosis. 30,31 In addition, MMP-9 also has potential as an indicator of the early stages of atherosclerotic damage, since an increase in the level of this substance most likely evidences destabilization of the atherosclerotic plaque and destruction of myocardial tissue, and also MMP-9 shows a signifi cant prognostic value. 14 MMP-9 levels increased in patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation and MMP-9 appeared to be a signifi cant biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation.…”
