Circulating miR-130 is a potential bio signature for early prognosis of acute myocardial infarction.

Abstract

BackgroundAs distinctive leading reasons of death globally, acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Accounts for major death ratio, caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). Its diagnosis relies on the presenting clinical symptoms, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and levels of circulating biomarkers. Recent studies have implicated microRNAs (miRNAs) in the pathogenesis of many diseases, including AMI. The present study inquire into feature value of miR-130 in AMI patients.Methodslevels of expression of miR-130 in patient plasma, considered through simultaneous quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The method used for determining Plasma cardiac troponin I (cTnI) & creatine kinase-MB(CK-MB) degree set on by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The diagnostic value of miR-130 was measured using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.ResultsPlasma miR-130, cTnI, and CK-MB levels exist remarkably inflated in the AMI classification in comparison with control category (P<0.05). MiR-130 expression peaked 6 hours after disease onset, earlier than cTnI and CK-MB. The level of expression of miR-130 6 hours after disease onset was positively correlated with cTnI and CK-MB levels 12 hours after onset. The optimal cut-off point for miR-130 in peripheral blood, sensitivity, and specificity were 1.58 ng/mL, 82.5% and 77.5%, respectively. The area under curve (AUC) was 0.922.ConclusionsThese results indicate that circulating miR-130 holds great promise as an effective biomarker for diagnosing AMI earlier.
