Abstract

Currently, there is an active search for new biomarkers and therapeutic targets to develop effective approaches to risk stratification and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Microribonucleic acids (miRNAs) are of particular interest to investigators. MiRNAs are endogenous small noncoding RNAs that regulate the transcription of factors that play a role in the proliferation, differentiation, cell growth, and tissue remodeling processes in CVD. MiRNA-378 is currently being analyzed as a biomarker for CVD. Thus, in this review, we aimed to describe the regulatory role of miRNA-378 and provide strong evidence for its feasibility as a biomarker. Further preclinical and clinical studies are required to identify the potential benefits of miRNA-378 as a biomarker in CVD.
