We found that plasma levels of miR-22-5p and miR-150-3p were significantly higher during the early stage of AMI and their expression levels peaked earlier than cTnI.
In vivo studies showed that overexpression of miR-150 in mice resulted in improved cardiac function, reduced myocardial infarction size, inhibition of apoptosis, and reduced inflammatory Ly-6C(high) monocyte invasion levels after AMI.
Low circulating levels of miR-150 are associated with LV remodeling after first ST-segment-elevation acute myocardial infarction. miR-150 has potential as a novel biomarker in this setting.
