The diagnostic value of microRNA-4787-5p and microRNA-4306 in patients with acute aortic dissection.

ABSTRACT: Acute aortic dissection (AAD) is a life-threatening cardiovascular disease with the high morbidity and mortality. Imaging modalities are the gold standard for the diagnosis of AAD; however, they are not always available in emergency department. Biomarker-assisted diagnosis is important for the early treatment of AAD. The aim of the present study was to identify potential microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers for AAD. Differentially expressed plasma miRNAs between AAD patients and age-matched healthy volunteers were analyzed by miRNA microarray. Quantitative RT-PCR was further performed to verify the expression of selected miRNAs (miR-4787-5p and miR-4306) with an increased number of samples. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess the diagnostic value of miR-4787-5p and miR-4306 as biomarkers for distinguishing AAD. Using TargetScan and miRanda, miR-4787-5p and miR-4306 were selected to predict target gene related to cytokines detecting by dual luciferase assay and western blotting. Nine upregulated and twelve downregulated miRNAs were identified in the circulating plasma of AAD patients. qRT-PCR verified statistically consistent expression of two selected miRNAs with microarray analysis. ROC analyses demonstrated that miR-4787-5p and miR-4306 were specific and sensitive for the early diagnosis of AAD. Bioinformatic predictions and dual luciferase assay suggested that polycystin-1 (PKD1) and transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) were respectively direct target of miR-4787-5p and miR-4306. Furthermore, the protein expression of the downstream targets of PKD1 and TGF-?1 were significantly reduced following overexpression of miR-4787-5p and miR-4306. These results revealed that miR-4787-5p and miR-4306 could be developed as diagnostic potential biomarkers for AAD, and they could be involved in the pathogenesis of AAD.

Project description:BackgroundAcute aortic dissection (AAD) is a fatal disease demanding prompt diagnosis and proper treatment. There is a lack of serum markers that can effectively assist diagnosis and predict prognosis of AAD patients.MethodsNinety-six AAD patients were enrolled in this study, and 249 patients with chest pain due to acute myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, intramural hematoma, angina or other causes and 80 healthy controls were included as control group and healthy control group. Demographics, biochemical and hematological data and risk factors were recorded as baseline characteristics. The 1-year follow-up data were collected and analyzed. The diagnostic performance and ability to predict disease severity and prognosis of NET components in serum and aortic tissue were evaluated.ResultsCirculating NET markers, citH3 (citrullination of histone 3), cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and nucleosomes, had good diagnostic value for AAD, with superior diagnostic performance to D-dimer in discriminating patients with chest pain due to other reasons in the emergency department. Circulating NET marker levels (i.e., citH3, cfDNA and nucleosomes) of AAD patients were significantly higher than that of control group and healthy control group. In addition, circulating NET markers levels were closely associated with the disease severity, in-hospital death and 1-year survival of AAD patients. Systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg and serum citH3 levels were identified as independent risk factors for 1-year survival of AAD patients. Excessive NET components (i.e., neutrophil elastase and citH3) in the aortic tissue of AAD patient were significantly higher than that of healthy donor aortic tissue. The expression levels of granules and nuclear NET components were significantly higher in aortic tissue from AAD patients than controls.ConclusionsCirculating NET markers, citH3, cfDNA and nucleosomes, have significant diagnostic value and predictive value of disease severity and prognosis of AAD patients. The NETs components may constitute a useful diagnostic and prognostic marker in AAD patients.

Project description:BackgroundAcute aortic dissection (AAD) is a serious and life-threatening cardiovascular emergency. This study aim to investigate whether MicroRNAs (miRNAs)in circulating exosomes could serve as novel diagnostic biomarkers for AAD.MethodsUsing miRNA microarray sequencing, the differentially expressed exosomal miRNAs between AAD patients and control subjects were found. In this study, we investigated 8 miRNAs (miR-499a-5p/miR-543/miR-143-3p/miR-4433b-3p/miR-744-5p/miR-4488/miR-202-3p/miR-206), 4 Proteins (Matrix Metalloprotein-9/12)/transforming growth factor-β/D-Dimer) in AAD (n = 75) and Control (n = 86) expression levels between the 2 groups. The combined diagnostic of exosomal miRNAs and Proteins was performed (area under curve [AUC] > 0.8, R > 0.5 and P < .01). The Receiver Operating Characteristic curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy. Predict the gene targets of differentially expressed miRNAs and analyze the functions and signaling pathways of these targets using online databases.ResultsThe exosomes isolated from the 2 groups of serum were bilayer membranes with a diameter of about 100 nm. Stably expressed in CD9, CD63 and TSG101. Compared with the control subjects, 8 exosomal miRNAs (miR-499a-5p, miR-543, miR-206, miR-143-3p, miR-4433b-3p, miR-744-5p, miR- 4488, and miR-202-3p) were regulated to varying degrees (P < .05). miR-499a-5p, miR-202-3p, and D-Dimer had higher diagnostic efficacy (AUC > 0.90). Among them, miR-499a-5p had the highest diagnostic accuracy, reaching 95%, AUC = 0.99. Co-diagnosis of positively correlated miRNAs and Proteins improves the diagnostic performance. The combined diagnostic accuracy of miR-499a-5p and miR-202-3p was 98% (AUC = 0.998), and the sensitivity and specificity were 98%. The combined diagnostic accuracy of miR-499a-5p and matrix metalloprotein-9 was 98% (AUC = 0.996), and the sensitivity and specificity were 98%. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes signaling pathway analysis, some predicted targets of these miRNAs are involved in the pathophysiological process of AAD.ConclusionSerum exosomal miR-499a-5p, miR-143-3p, and miR-202-3p can be used as potential diagnostic biomarkers for AAD, and the combination of various markers can coordinate and complement each other, and can significantly improve the diagnosis of aortic dissection sensitivity and specificity.

Project description:BackgroundLeft ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is common in hypertension patients. Hypertension is a recognized risk factor of acute aortic dissection. This study aimed to explore the prognostic value of LVH in predicting postoperative outcomes in acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD) patients.MethodsThis was a single-central retrospectively designed study. One hundred and ninety-three ATAAD patients who underwent surgical repair at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2018 to November 2021 were enrolled. Patients were divided based on their left ventricular mass index (LVMI). We compared their baseline characteristics, perioperative data, and in-hospital outcome. Then nomogram models were developed based on logistic regression to predict the postoperative outcomes.ResultsLVH presented in 28.5% (55 in 193) patients. LVH group had a higher proportion of female patients compared with the non-LVH group (32.7% vs. 17.4%, P=0.03). Decreased left ventricular ejection fraction and cardiac tamponade were more prevalent in patients with LVH. LVH group had a higher risk of postoperative composite major outcomes (CMO) and operative mortality. Based on multivariable logistic regression, LVH/LVMI, Penn classification, hyperlipidemia, emergency surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass duration were applied to develop nomogram models for predicting postoperative CMO. The area under curve was 0.825 (95% CI: 0.749-0.900) for Model LVH and 0.841 (95% CI: 0.776-0.905) for Model LVMI. Nomogram models for predicting postoperative cardiac were developed based on LVH/LVMI and cardiopulmonary bypass duration. The area under curves for the models involving LVH or LVMI were 0.782 (95% CI: 0.640-0.923) and 0.795 (95% CI: 0.643-0.947), respectively.ConclusionsLVH and increased LVMI was associated with increased risk of postoperative CMO and cardiac events in ATAAD patients. The nomogram models based on LVH or LVMI might help predict postoperative CMO. Future research would be necessary to investigate prognostic value of LVH for long-term outcomes in ATAAD patients.
