The largest effects occurred with CHF (Incidence Rate Ratio [IRR] range: 4.84-13.4 across age strata), ESRD (IRR range: 3.30-9.02), CAD (IRR range= 2.77-10.7), and COPD (IRR range: 5.89-8.78) and tapered with age.
Changes in miR-145 and miR-126 did not reach statistical significance (P > .05). miRNA- 21, miR-155, and miR-221 were differentially expressed between the patients and controls. miRNAs are promising biomarkers for CAD diagnosis, however, this requires further research with larger groups.
<b>Conclusions:</b> These data indicate that TCF21 antagonizes the MYOCD-SRF pathway through multiple mechanisms, further establishing a role for this CAD associated gene in fundamental SMC processes and indicating the importance of smooth muscle response to vascular stress and phenotypic modulation of this cell type in CAD risk.
In the current study, we assessed expression of autophagy related gene 5 (ATG5) and three ATG5-associated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs Chast, HULC and DICER1-AS1) in the peripheral blood of patients with premature CAD and healthy subjects.
In the current study, we assessed expression of autophagy related gene 5 (ATG5) and three ATG5-associated long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs Chast, HULC and DICER1-AS1) in the peripheral blood of patients with premature CAD and healthy subjects.
Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that HULC and DICER1-AS1 can properly differentiate CAD patients from healthy subjects (area under curve (AUC) values of 0.90 and 0.87, respectively).
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression levels of nutrient sensing genes including SIRT1, PRKAB1, PRKAB2 and mTOR in CAD<sup>+</sup> versus CAD<sup>-</sup>T2DM patients.
In the cross-trait meta-analyses, we identified (1) 14 genetic loci (including NEGR1, CADM2, PMAIP1, PARK2) that are associated with both obesity and SSRIs treatment response; (2) five genetic loci (LINC01412, PHACTR1, CDKN2B, ATXN2, KCNE2) with effects on CAD and SSRIs treatment response.
Lifespan can also be extended by knocking down triacylglycerol lipases in yeast, overexpressing fatty acid amide hydrolase in worms, or removing hepatic lipase in a mouse model of coronary disease.
While a number of miRNAs feature consistently across studies in their expression in both ACS and stable CAD, when compared with controls, certain miRNAs were reported as biomarkers specifically in ACS (miR-499, miR-1, miR-133a/b, and miR-208a/b) and stable CAD (miR-215, miR-487a, and miR-502).
In adjusted Cox models, both BART - LVH and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging- LVH were associated with mortality (hazard ratio [95% CI ], 1.88 [1.45-2.44] and 2.21 [1.74-2.81], respectively), cardiovascular disease events (hazard ratio [95% CI ], 1.46 [1.08-1.98] and 1.91 [1.46-2.51], respectively), and coronary heart disease events (hazard ratio [95% CI ], 1.72 [1.20-2.47] and 1.96 [1.41-2.73], respectively).
The aim of the study was to assess if serum concentration of MC proteases: carboxypeptidase A3, cathepsin G and chymase 1 is associated with the extension of CAD and MI.
We found that the levels of lncRNA KCNQ1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (KCNQ1OT1), hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha-antisense RNA 2 (HIF1A-AS2) and apolipoprotein A-1 antisense RNA (APOA1-AS) were significantly increased in CAD patients (KCNQ1OT1 increased by 2.38-fold, P = 0.00042; HIF1A-AS2 increased by 2.00-fold, P = 0.0001; APOA1-AS increased by 4.52-fold, P = 0.000048).
<b>Conclusion:</b> Increased RLN1 levels were accompanied by lower myocardial fibrosis rate, which is a novel finding in our patient population with coronary artery disease and HFrEF.
Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was conducted to evaluate the usefulness Nrg4 in assessing the presence and severity of CAD.Nrg4 levels were negatively associated with the SYNTAX score (r = -0.401, P = 0.000).
ADAM8/ADAM8 expression is associated with atherosclerosis and CAD such as myocardial infarction in both mice and humans, especially in endothelial cells and leukocytes.
