Abstract
Atherosclerosis is a complex progressive disease involving intertwined biological mechanisms. We aimed to identify miRNA expression dynamics at the early stages of atherosclerosis using a large swine model (Wisconsin Miniature Swine, WMS). A total of 18 female pigs; 9 familial hypercholesterolemic (WMS-FH) and 9 normal control swine (WMS-N) were studied. miRNA sequencing was performed on plasma cell-free RNA at 3, 6, and 9 months of age. RT-qPCR validated DE miRNAs in a new cohort of animals (n = 30) with both sexes. Gene ontology and mRNA targets for DE miRNAs were identified. In vivo multimodality imaging and histopathology were performed to document the presence of atherosclerosis at termination. 20, 19, and 9 miRNAs were significantly DE between the groups at months 3, 6, and 9, respectively. Most DE miRNAs and their target genes are involved in human atherosclerosis development. Coronary atherosclerosis was documented in 7/9 WMS-FH pigs. Control animals had no lesions. miR-138, miR-152, miR-190a, and miR-196a showed a significant diagnostic power at month 3, whereas miR-486, miR-126-3p, miR-335, and miR-423-5p were of significant diagnostic power at month 9. In conclusion, specific DE miRNAs with significant discriminatory power may be promising biomarkers for the early detection of coronary atherosclerosis.

Abstract
miRNA-146a, a single-stranded, non-coding RNA molecule, has emerged as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for numerous pathological conditions. Its primary function lies in regulating inflammatory processes, haemopoiesis, allergic responses, and other key aspects of the innate immune system. Several studies have indicated that polymorphisms in miRNA-146a can influence the pathogenesis of various human diseases, including autoimmune disorders and cancer. One of the key mechanisms by which miRNA-146a exerts its effects is by controlling the expression of certain proteins involved in critical pathways. It can modulate the activity of interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase, IRAK1, IRAK2 adaptor proteins, and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) targeting protein receptor 6, which is a regulator of the TNF signalling pathway. In addition, miRNA-146a affects gene expression through multiple signalling pathways, such as TNF, NF-κB and MEK-1/2, and JNK-1/2. Studies have been carried out to determine the effect of miRNA-146a on cancer pathogenesis, revealing its involvement in the synthesis of stem cells, which contributes to tumourigenesis. In this review, we focus on recent discoveries that highlight the significant role played by miRNA-146a in regulating various defence mechanisms and oncogenesis. The aim of this review article is to systematically examine miRNA-146a's impact on the control of signalling pathways involved in oncopathology, immune system development, and the corresponding response to therapy.

Abstract
Introduction: Stroke, of which ischemic stroke (IS) is the major type, is the second leading cause of disability and death worldwide. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are reported to play important role in the physiology and pathology of IS. CircRNAs often act as competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) to regulate gene expression by acting as miRNA sponges. However, whole transcriptome-wide screenings of circRNA-mediated ceRNA networks associated with IS are still lacking. In the present study, we constructed a circRNA-miRNA-mRNA ceRNA network by whole transcriptome-wide analysis. Methods: CircRNAs, miRNAs and mRNAs expression profiles were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets. We identified differentially expressed (DE) circRNAs, miRNAs, and mRNAs in IS patients. StarBase and CircBank databases were used to predict the miRNA targets of DEcircRNAs, and mirDIP database was used to predict the mRNA targets of DEmiRNAs. CircRNA-miRNA pairs and miRNA-mRNA pairs were established. Then, we identified hub genes via protein-protein interaction analysis and constructed a core ceRNA sub-network. Results: In total, 276 DEcircRNAs, 43 DEmiRNAs, and 1926 DEmRNAs were explored. The ceRNA network included 69 circRNAs, 24 miRNAs, and 92 mRNAs. The core ceRNA subnetwork included hsa_circ_0011474, hsa_circ_0023110, CDKN1A, FHL2, RPS2, CDK19, KAT6A, CBX1, BRD4, and ZFHX3. Discussion: In conclusion, we established a novel hsa_circ_0011474 - hsa-miR-20a-5p/hsa-miR-17-5p - CDKN1A ceRNA regulatory axis associated with IS. Our findings provide new insights into the pathogenesis of IS and offer promising diagnostic and predictive biomarkers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis remains a predominant cause of ischemic stroke (IS). Four miRNA polymorphisms associated with arteriosclerosis mechanism were meta-analyzed to explore whether they had predictive significance for IS. METHODS PubMed, Excerpta Medica database, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and China Wanfang Database were searched for relevant case-control studies published before September 2022. Two researchers independently reviewed the studies and extracted the data. Data synthesis was carried out on eligible studies. Meta-analysis, subgroup analysis, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias analysis were performed using Stata software 16.0. RESULTS Twenty-two studies were included, comprising 8879 cases and 12,091 controls. The results indicated that there were no significant associations between miR-146a C>G (rs2910164), miR-196a2 T>C (rs11614913) and IS risk in the overall analyses, but miR-149 T>C (rs2292832) and miR-499 A>G (rs3746444) increased IS risk under the allelic model, homozygote model and recessive model. The subgroup analyses based on Trial of Org 101072 in Acute Stroke Treatment classification indicated that rs2910164 increased small artery occlusion (SAO) risk under the allelic model, heterozygote model and dominant model; rs11614913 decreased the risk of SAO under the allelic model, homozygote model, heterozygote model and dominant model. CONCLUSION This Meta-analysis showed that all 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with the risk of IS or SAO, even though the overall and subgroup analyses were not entirely consistent.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the relationship between sleep habits (sleep duration, sleep efficiency, sleep onset timing) and ischemic stroke, and whether there is an interaction between sleep habits and ischemic stroke susceptibility gene loci. METHODS A questionnaire survey, physical examination, blood biochemical testing and genotyping were conducted among rural residents in Beijing, and the gene loci of ischemic stroke suggested by previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were screened. Multivariable generalized linear model was used to analyze the correlation between sleep habits, sleep-gene interaction and ischemic stroke. RESULTS A total of 4 648 subjects with an average age of (58.5±8.7) years were enrolled, including 1 316 patients with ischemic stroke. Compared with non-stroke patients, stroke patients with sleep duration ≥9 hours, sleep efficiency < 80%, and sleep onset timing earlier than 22:00 accounted for a higher proportion (P < 0.05). There was no significant association between sleep duration and risk of ischemic stroke (OR=1.04, 95%CI: 0.99-1.10, P=0.085). Sleep efficiency was inversely associated with the risk of ischemic stroke (OR=0.18, 95%CI: 0.06-0.53, P=0.002). The risk of ischemic stroke in the subjects with sleep efficiency < 80% was 1.47-fold (95%CI: 1.03-2.10, P=0.033) of that in the subjects with sleep efficiency ≥80%. Falling asleep earlier than 22:00 was associated with 1.26 times greater risk of stroke than falling asleep between 22:00 and 22:59 (95%CI: 1.04-1.52, P=0.017). Multifactorial adjustment model showed that rs579459 on ABO gene had an interaction with sleep time (P for interaction =0.040). When there were two T alleles for rs579459 on the ABO gene, those who fell asleep before 22:00 had 1.56 times (95%CI: 1.20-2.04, P=0.001) the risk of stroke compared with those who fell asleep between 22:00 and 22:59, and there was no significant difference when the number of pathogenic alleles was 0 or 1. In the model adjusted only for gender, age and family structure, sleep duration and the number of T allele rs2634074 on PITX2 gene had an interaction with ischemic stroke (P for interaction=0.033). CONCLUSION Decreased sleep efficiency is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke, and falling asleep earlier than 22:00 is associated with higher risk of ischemic stroke. Sleep onset timing interacted with rs579459 in ABO gene and the risk of ischemic stroke. Sleep duration and PITX2 rs2634074 may have a potential interaction with ischemic stroke risk.

Abstract
Background
Ischemic stroke (IS) is the most leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Micro RNA (miRNA) genetic variants have been identified as a part of IS non-modifiable risk markers. This study aims to identify the possible association of rs2910164 C > G of pre-miRNA-146a and rs3746444 A > G of pre-miRNA-499 with increased IS risk. C-reactive protein (CRP) was studied as one of the mediators of the genetic disturbance in IS. The study included 100 patients with atherosclerotic IS and 100 age and sex matched healthy controls with more than one risk factor for IS. Variants were evaluated by the real-time polymerase chain reaction technique using TaqMan probes. CRP levels were assayed by immunoturbidimetry method on COBAS analyzer.
Results
Regarding rs3746444 A > G, the G allele, and its containing genotypes (GG and GG + AG) were associated with high IS incidence. Increased CRP levels were found to induce IS by GG and GG + AG genotypes, with a cut value of 7.5 mg/ L in differentiation between AA genotype and GG + AG genotypes. Combining the G allele of rs3746444 A > G with either G or C allele of rs2910164 C > G had enhanced the risk. For rs2910164 C > G, the G allele, and the combined GG + GC genotypes were associated with IS risk elevation with no correlation to CRP levels.
Conclusion
The G involving genetic variants of rs3746444 A > G and rs2910164 C > G were associated with an enhanced IS risk. CRP showed higher levels in GG and AG genotypes of rs3746444 with no relation to rs2910164 genotypes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In recent years, the evidence of the relationship between epigenetics and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) were accumulating, however, the epigenetic characteristics that directs specifically towards the aetiology of large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) remain ambiguous. The aim of this study was to highlight the overall evidence concerning the epigenetic mechanisms associated with the occurrence of LAA. MATERIALS AND METHODS Studies that involve investigations related to epigenetic markers (DNA methylation and RNA modifications) and LAA were retrieved from eleven scientific publication databases. The studies were screened through the pre-set inclusion and exclusion criteria prior to the NOS evaluation. RESULTS Eligible studies (n=25) were evaluated. Of which, six reported on DNA methylation and 19 studies assessed RNA modifications (16 on miRNAs, two on lncRNAs, and one study on circRNA). Hypomethylation of MTRNR2L8 and ERα promoters; microRNAs (miR-7-2-3p, miR-16, miR-34a-5p, miR-126, miR-143, miR-200b, miR-223, miR-503, miR-1908, miR-146a rs2910164 C/G, miR-149 rs2292832 T/C, miR-200b rs7549819 T/C, miR-34a rs2666433); lncRNA of ZFAS1; and circRNA of hsa_circRNA_102488 were associated with LAA significantly. CONCLUSION Current systematic review highlighted hypomethylation of miRNAs and lncRNA might be the potential biomarkers for LAA.

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness, Genetic Risk, and Ischemic Stroke: A Family-Based Study in Rural China. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2020; 18:ijerph18010119.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) has been associated with an elevated risk of ischemic stroke (IS) in several studies, but the results are inconsistent. We investigated whether the association between cIMT and IS varied across different IS subtypes, and further assessed gene-cIMT interactions' association with IS risk. METHODS A total of 1048 IS cases (795 large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) cases, 103 small-vessel occlusion (SVO) cases, and 150 other subtypes) and 2696 IS-free controls across 2179 families were included in the analysis. Self-reported IS cases were confirmed through medical records' review and head imaging by computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging. The mean values of the common cIMT obtained in bilateral distal and proximal carotid artery segments were used. The genotype information of rs2910164 polymorphism in microRNA-146a (miR-146a) was also collected. RESULTS We found that cIMT was significantly associated with a higher risk of IS and LAA subtype but not SVO subtype in the multivariate-adjusted models. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) in the highest quartile versus the lowest quartile of cIMT was 2.48 (1.92-3.20) for IS and 2.75 (2.08-3.64) for LAA (both p trend <0.001). The results also showed that there was a significant interaction between cIMT and rs2910164 genotype with the risk of IS (p interaction = 0.03) and LAA (p interaction = 0.02). The associations of cIMT with IS and LAA were strengthened among participants carried rs2910164_GG genotype compared with those with rs2910164_CC genotype. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that higher cIMT levels were significantly associated with IS and LAA subtype but not SVO subtype, and the relations were modified by rs2910164 polymorphism in miR-146a.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have found many new susceptible genetic variants for ischemic stroke (IS) occurrence. However,the roles of GWAS-susceptibility loci in stroke prognosis are just beginning. The present study aimed to examine whether these GWAS-linked loci polymorphisms are associated with ischemic stroke recurrence in a Chinese population. METHODS We genotyped six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (9p21: rs2383207 and rs4977574; 12p13: rs12425791 and rs11833579; PDE4D: rs966221; and ALOX5AP: rs1050391) in four GWAS-reported ischemic stroke risk genes in 657 patients. RESULTS The risk of recurrent stroke was significantly associated with PDE4D rs966221 in the dominant model (p = 0.027)and recessive model (p = 0.027). Furthermore, Kaplan-Meier analyses indicated no significant difference in the rate of recurrent stroke among the three genotypes of other five SNPs. Cox regression analysis showed that the GA + GG genotype within the rs966221 polymorphism had a 1.399-fold risk for stoke recurrence (95% confidence interval = 1.038-1.886; p = 0.027). Stratified analysis revealed that the increased recurrence risk of PDE4D rs966221 was more prominent in the large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) subgroup. CONCLUSIONS The reults of the present study demonstrate that PDE4D rs966221 may be a valuable biomarker for predicting the recurrent risks of patient with the LAA-IS and adds to our knowledge of the genetic basis of recurrent stroke risk.

Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2020; 193:105789. [PMID: 32203705 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2020.105789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2018] [Revised: 03/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES MiRNAs are the most abundant class of regulatory non-coding RNA, which may exert a significant role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke(IS). Previous studies have focused on the relationship between miRNA polymorphism and IS risk, but the results remain inconsistent. Therefore, we first conducted a case-control study to explore the association, and subsequently performed a meta-analysis to further to clarify the association of miRNA polymorphism with risk of ischemic stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS We first conducted a case-control study including 567 IS patients and 552 controls. Then we performed a meta-analysis combining the current study and previous studies with a total of 3015 cases and 2874 controls on miR-149 rs2292832 and 4119 cases and 4085 controls on miR-499 rs3746444 to further confirm our findings by searching PubMed, Web of Science and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databases database up to Nov 2019. RESULTS In our case-control study, no association between miR-499 rs3746444, miR-149 rs2292832 and IS were found. When combined with previous studies, however, a significant relationship between miR-149 rs2292832 and ischemic stroke incident was found under recessive model and allelic model. In other words, CC genotype and C allele of miR-149 rs2292832 were increased risk of ischemic stroke. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis results suggest that miR-149 rs2292832 might contribute to stroke susceptibility in the Asian populations.

Influence of miRNA Gene Polymorphism on Recurrence and Age at Onset of Ischemic Stroke in a Chinese Han Population. Neurotox Res 2019; 37:781-787. [PMID: 31811586 DOI: 10.1007/s12640-019-00125-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/23/2019] [Revised: 10/10/2019] [Accepted: 10/16/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
Polymorphisms in microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with ischemic stroke occurrence and traditional risk factors for ischemic stroke such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. However, few studies have examined recurrent ischemic stroke as an outcome. Thus, the aim of our study was to examine association of miRNA gene polymorphisms (namely, miR-126 rs4636297, miR-149 rs2292832, miR-124 rs531564, miR-499 rs3746444, miR-143 rs12655723, and miR-122 rs17669) with recurrence of ischemic stroke. miRNA gene polymorphisms were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction-ligation detection reaction (PCR-LDR) method in 657 patients with ischemic stroke. Association of miRNA polymorphisms with prognosis outcomes was examined by the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox proportional hazards models. miR-122 rs17669 was significantly associated with recurrence risk of ischemic stroke under the recessive model. Cox regression analysis showed that the CC genotype of rs17669 was associated with an increased risk of 1.9-fold for stroke recurrence (hazard ratio = 1.879; 95% confidence interval = 1.182-2.985; P = 0.008). Further, this effect was more evident among the non-drinker and male subgroups. We found no difference in risk of recurrent ischemic stroke among the other five miRNA polymorphisms. Furthermore, we identified a significant association between the miR-149 rs2292832 polymorphism and age at onset of first-ever stroke. Altogether, miR-122 rs17669 is a significant predictor for the risk of recurrent stroke, independent of traditional risk factors.

BMC Med Genomics 2019; 12:159. [PMID: 31703587 PMCID: PMC6839137 DOI: 10.1186/s12920-019-0589-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2018] [Accepted: 09/23/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The microRNA-17-92 (miR-17-92) cluster is one of the most extensively studied miRNA clusters. Abnormal expression of the cluster has been found to play important role in different kinds of human diseases, including ischemic stroke (IS). The aim of our study was to investigate the association between three polymorphisms (rs1491034, rs9301654 and rs982873) in the promoter of the miR-17-92 cluster and risk of IS. Methods Three hundred and ninety-eight patients with IS and 397 control subjects were included. The genotypes of the three polymorphisms were determined by Snapshot SNP genotyping assay. Relative expression of the cluster in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of cases and controls were examined by quantitative real-time PCR. Results Significant association between rs9301654 polymorphism and risk of IS were observed basing on genotype, model and allele analyses (GA vs. AA: adjusted OR = 0.63, 95% CI: 0.41~0.97, P = 0.037; GG vs. AA: adjusted OR = 0.23, 95% CI: 0.07~0.78, P = 0.018; GA + GG vs. AA: adjusted OR = 0.57, 95% CI: 0.38~0.87, P = 0.009; GA + AA vs. GG: adjusted OR = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.08~0.89, P = 0.032; G vs. A: adjusted OR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.40~0.83). Haplotype analysis showed that TGC and TGT haplotypes were associated with decreased risk of IS (OR = 0.59, 95% CI: 0.40~0.87, P = 0.007 for TGC haplotype; OR = 0.21, 95% CI: 0.06~0.75, P = 0.009 for TGT haplotype). Importantly, we found the expression of miR-17-5p was significant higher while miR-19a-3p was significant lower in patient with IS compared with the control group (P < 0.01), and patients with rs9301654GG or GA genotype displayed lower level of miR-19a-3p compared with the AA genotype (P < 0.01). Conclusions Our findings indicated that rs9301654 polymorphism in the promoter of miR-17-92 cluster may be associated with susceptibility of IS in the Chinese population. However, we found that rs9301654 polymorphism and its respective gene expression did not demonstrate consistent association with IS in the Chinese population. Further studies such as gene-gene interaction are warranted to reveal the role of miR-19a and its regulatory genes in the etiology of IS.

Abstract
Recent studies have explored the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in microRNAs (miRNAs) and ischemic stroke (IS). In particular, the associations of rs2910164 (miRNA-146A), rs11614913 (miRNA-196A2), and rs3746444 (miRNA-499A) were intensively studied in IS. In this study, we investigated the associations between SNPs in miRNAs and IS including rs2910164, rs11614913, and rs3746444 in a Korean population. For a pilot study, we selected 19 SNPs in pre-miRNA region (including mature miRNA region) and genotyped in 140 IS patients and 240 control subjects using the Fluidigm Dynamic Array. Our pilot study showed a weak association of rs79402775 in miRNA-933 (p = 0.044) and a relatively strong association of rs35196866 in miRNA-4669 (p = 0.016) with IS. From the pilot study, we selected rs79402775, rs35196866, and rs7202008 (miRNA-2117; p = 0.055) as candidate miRNA SNPs on IS and further genotyped these SNPs in 264 IS patients and 455 control subjects using direct sequencing. In addition, we further analyzed the associations of rs2910164, rs11614913, and rs3746444 that have been intensively studied in previous studies. In the further analysis, we found the significant association between rs35196866 and IS (p = 0.0014 in additive model and p = 0.00015 in dominant model; p = 0.00037 in allele frequency analysis). However, the association between rs2910164, rs11614913, rs3746444, rs79402775, and rs7202008 and IS was not shown. These results suggest that miRNA-4669 may be involved in the susceptibility of IS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies investigated the association between miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphisms and risk of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. However, the results were inconsistent. METHODS We searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane library, Web of Science, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, and Wanfang databases for appropriate studies. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate the associations. Heterogeneity, sensitivity, and publication bias were conducted to measure the robustness of our findings.All analyses were based on previous published studies, thus, no ethical approval and patient consent are required. RESULTS We conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphisms and risk of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. A total of 26 related studies involving 11,602 cases and 14,016 controls were identified and included in our meta-analysis. After considering the heterogeneity of the global analysis, we inferred that rs2910164 polymorphisms were associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) significantly in all genetic models. In addition, it was also found that the miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphisms were associated with the low risk of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases in large sample size subgroup analysis. CONCLUSION These results indicate that miR-146a rs2910164 polymorphisms were significantly associated with a lower risk of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular. The miR-146a rs29101164 might be recommended as a predictor for susceptibility of ischemic cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.

Abstract
Aim We conducted the present prospective study to assess the level of microRNA (miRNA) 146a in patients with ischemic stroke and its correlation with patients' characteristics. Methods We conducted an observational study that included adult patients (≥18 years old) who presented within 24 hrs after the onset of the symptoms of acute ischemic stroke. In addition, age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were included as control group. The primary outcome in the present study was the difference in miRNA 146a expression between patients with ischemic stroke and control group participants. The expression of miRNA 146a was measured using quantitative real-time PCR. Quantitative real-time PCR amplification and analysis were performed using Rotor-Gene Q thermal cycler. Results The present study included 44 patients with ischemic stroke and 22 matched controls. Regarding the primary outcome of the present study, the median expression of miRNA 146a in patients with ischemic stroke was -1.98 fold (IQR -27.1-3.9) compared to 1.75 fold (IQR -2.25-5.27) in control group (P<0.001). However, the subgroup analysis showed that the expression of miRNA 146a was significantly downregulated in comatosed patients only (P<0.001). The expression of miRNA 146a correlated negatively with Glasgow Coma Scale score in comatose patients (r=-0.352, P=0.022). Conclusion In conclusion, the expression of miRNA 146a is significantly downregulated in ischemic stroke patients. Further studies are needed to assess its diagnostic utility and therapeutic potentials.

Abstract
Recently extensive focus has been concentrated on the role of miRNAs in the initiation and progression of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCDs) which constitute a range of conditions including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs, especially coronary artery disease (CAD)), congenital heart disease (CHD) and cerebrovascular diseases (CBVDs, especially the ischemic stroke (IS)). An increasing number of studies are evaluating the association between different miRNA polymorphisms and risk of CCDs, but results have been inconclusive. This study represents a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between miRNA polymorphisms and risk of CCDs. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science were queried to identify eligible articles. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were used to assess the association of miRNA polymorphisms with CCD susceptibility. A total of 51 eligible articles evaluating the association of 31 miRNA polymorphisms were identified. Meta-analysis was performed for six miRNA polymorphisms. miR-146a rs2910164 (30 studies: 13,186 cases/14,497 controls), miR-149 rs2292832 (Nine studies: 4116 cases/3511 controls), miR-149 rs71428439 (Three studies: 1556 cases/1567 controls), miR-196a2 rs11614913 (20 studies: 10,144 cases/10,433 controls), miR-218 rs11134527 (Three studies: 2,322 cases/2,754 controls) were not associated with overall CCD. miR-499 rs3746444 was associated with CCD (20 studies: 9564 cases/8876 controls). In the subgroups, rs2910164 and rs3746444 were only associated with CVDs, especially CAD. In conclusion, the results support the existence of a role for miR-146a rs2910164 and miR-499 rs3746444 in determining susceptibility to CCDs, especially CAD.

Zhu X, Hou R, Ma A, Yang S, Pan X. Associations of miR-146a, miR-149, miR-196a2, and miR-499 Polymorphisms with Ischemic Stroke in the Northern Chinese Han Population. Med Sci Monit 2018; 24:7366-7374. [PMID: 30321140 PMCID: PMC6198714 DOI: 10.12659/msm.909935] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recently, miR-146a C>G, miR- 149 T>C, miR-196a2 T>C and miR-499 A>G polymorphisms have been associated with susceptibility to many diseases, including ischemic stroke (IS). However, results have been reported inconsistency in IS, especially in the Chinese population. This study aimed to investigate the polymorphisms of the 4 miRNAs and IS risk in the Chinese population. MATERIAL AND METHODS We used a case-control study to explore these associations in 396 patients with IS and 378 healthy controls. According to TOAST standards, the selected patients were divided into subgroups: the large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) subgroup and the small artery occlusion (SAO) subgroup. The method of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to detect the genotypes. RESULTS The miR-146a C>G polymorphism was remarkably different (CC vs. CG+GG: P=0.027; CC+CG vs. GG: P=0.020; C vs. G: P=0.006). The miR-149 T>C polymorphism was also remarkably different (TT vs. TC+CC: P=0.017; TT+TC vs. CC: P=0.020; T vs. C: P=0.004). The miR-146a and miR-149 polymorphisms were also remarkably different in the LAA subgroup (P<0.05). However, we did not find an association of miR-196a2 T>C or miR-499 A>G polymorphisms with IS (P>0.05); we did not find any association in the LAA subgroup or the SAO subgroup (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that miR-146a C>G and miR-149 T>C polymorphisms might remarkably increase the risk of IS, which might be mainly associated with an increased risk in LAA stroke; however, the miR-196a2 T>C and miR-499 A>G polymorphisms might not be associated with IS risk in the northern Chinese Han population.

Long non-coding RNA H19 and MALAT1 gene variants in patients with ischemic stroke in a northern Chinese Han population. Mol Brain 2018; 11:58. [PMID: 30305120 PMCID: PMC6180423 DOI: 10.1186/s13041-018-0402-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2018] [Accepted: 10/01/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified as key regulators in the development of atherosclerosis, which is a major cause of ischemic stroke. However, to date, there are no reports on the association between lncRNA gene variation and the risk of ischemic stroke. Therefore, we assessed the association between H19 and MALAT1 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to ischemic stroke in a northern Chinese Han population. Methods In our study, we genotyped four genetic variations in lncRNA-H19 and -MALAT1 (rs217727, rs2251375, rs619586, and rs3200401) in a case-control study of 567 ischemic stroke patients and 552 control subjects. Results We found that the TT genotype of the rs217727 polymorphism within H19 was significantly associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke in our northern Chinese Han population (odds ration (OR) = 1.519, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.072-2.152, p = 0.018). Stratified analysis based on stroke subtype revealed that the increased risk was more evident in small vessel ischemic stroke (OR = 1.941, 95% CI = 1.260-2.992, p = 0.02). Individuals with the TT genotype had a 1.941 times higher risk of small vessel ischemic stroke when compared with the subjects of CC + CT. These correlations remained after adjusting for confounding risk factors of stroke (OR = 1.913, 95% CI = 1.221-2.998, p = 0.005). However, there was no significant association between H19 rs2251375 or MALAT1 rs3200401 and ischemic stroke in either total population analysis or subgroup analysis. Conclusion In conclusion, our findings suggest that the H19 rs217727 gene polymorphism contributes to small vessel ischemic stroke susceptibility in the Chinese Han population and may serve as a potential indicator for ischemic stroke susceptibility.

Abstract
Background Polymorphisms in miR-146a (rs2910164), miR-196a2 (rs11614913), miR-149 (rs2292832) and miR-499 (rs3746444) have been associated with ischemic stroke (IS), but studies have given inconsistent results. Methods This meta-analysis investigated the possible association between IS risk and the four polymorphisms. A total of 14 case-control studies from Asian populations involving 6,083 cases and 7,248 controls for the four polymorphisms were included. Results Results showed that the GG genotype of miR-146a (rs2910164) may be associated with increased IS risk according to the recessive model (OR=1.20, 95% CI=1.02–1.42, P=0.03). Similarly, the CC genotype of miR-149 (rs2292832) may be associated with increased IS risk according to the recessive model (OR=1.28, 95% CI=1.08–1.52, P=0.005) and the homozygous model (OR=1.31, 95% CI=1.09–1.58, P=0.004). In contrast, miR-196a2 (rs11614913) and miR-499 (rs3746444) polymorphisms did not show significant association with IS risk in any of the five genetic models. Conclusion These results indicate that the GG genotype of miR-146a (rs2910164) and CC genotype of miR-149 (rs2292832) may confer increased susceptibility to IS, while miR-196a2 (rs11614913) and miR-499 (rs3746444) polymorphisms may not be associated with IS risk in Asian populations. These conclusions should be verified in large and well-designed studies.

Abstract
OBJECT Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) that affect the sncRNA function and target gene expression to mediate the risk of certain diseases. The association between the miR-196a2 rs11614913 and ischemic stroke (IS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) is still conflicting and inconclusive. This meta-analysis aimed at analysing studies which have been done so far to get a more precise assessment of the association between the mutation and these two diseases. METHODS Electronic databases dated up to April 2018 were searched, retrieved and used. Revman 5.2 software and STATA version 12.0 were used for statistical analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to identify any potential associations. Heterogeneity, publication bias and sensitivity analysis were conducted to measure the robustness of our findings. RESULTS The overall meta-analysis results showed that miR-196a2 rs11614913 T > C polymorphism was significantly associated with CAD risk in certain genetic models, as well as in subgroup analysis (CC versus TT, OR = .43, 95%CI = .39-.47, P < .00001). However, no significant association was detected between the miR-196a2 rs11614913 T > C and IS risk in all genetic models. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that miR-196a2 rs11614913 T > C may contribute to CAD susceptibility but further well-designed studies with larger sample size and comprehensive data are needed to confirm our findings and provide a profound conclusion.

Abstract
Objective: Previous studies have demonstrated that some single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNAs are related to the risk of ischemic stroke (IS), but the conclusions are still controversial and inconclusive. We performed this meta-analysis to further assess the association between miR-146a C>G (rs2910164), miR-149 T>C (rs2292832), miR-196a2 T>C (rs11614913), miR-499 A>G (rs3746444) and risk of IS in Chinese individuals. Methods: Relevant studies were identified in the databases of PubMed, Embase. The strength of correlation between microRNAs polymorphisms and IS risk was assessed by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) under five genetic models. Results: 5 studies, containing 2,632 cases and 3,191 controls, were included in this meta-analysis. The overall results of meta-analysis indicated that there were no significant association between miR-146a C>G (rs2910164), miR-149 T>C (rs2292832), miR-196a2 T>C (rs11614913), and the IS risk in the overall analyses. MiR-499 A>G (rs3746444) was associated with an increased IS risk under allele model (OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.02-1.66), heterozygous model (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.01-1.79) and dominant model (OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.02-1.80) in Chinese. The sensitivity analysis results of these four polymorphisms were similar to the overall results. Conclusion: MiR-499 A>G (rs3746444) G allele and AG, AG + AA genotype might be risk factors of IS in Chinese. No significant association was observed between miR-146a C>G (rs2910164), miR-149 T>C (rs2292832), miR-196a2 T>C (rs11614913), and IS risk. The associations may be different due to geographical factors of China. More explorations in more diverse geographically regions with large sample size are expected to further verify the findings in the future.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate genetic polymorphisms of miR-146a, miR-149, miR-196a2, and miR-499 and genetic susceptibility of ischemic stroke in the population of Guangxi in China. A case–control study was used to investigate miRNAs genetic polymorphisms in 298 patients with ischemic stroke and 303 healthy controls. Single-base extension polymerase chain reaction genotyping principle was used to detect genetic polymorphisms of miRNAs,and the relationship of genotype in each group and blood lipid was compared and analyzed. The genetic polymorphism of miR-499A>G (rs3746444) was associated with ischemic stroke (P < 0.05), and the risk of ischemic stroke was high in patients with G allele (OR = 1.455; 95% CI = 0.531–2.381; P = 0.039) and AG (OR = 1.339; 95% CI = 1.126–1.967; P = 0.037) genotype. The levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, homocysteine, and lipoprotein in the ischemic stroke group were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The genetic polymorphism of miR-499A>G (rs3746444) was related to ischemic stroke, and G allele and AG genotype may increase the risk of ischemic stroke in the population of Guangxi in China.

Abstract
Strokes are a major cause of disability and death worldwide. An association between microRNA-146a (miR-146a) and miR-149 polymorphisms and strokes was inconclusive. This meta-analysis aimed to reevaluate the strength of the association by searching online databases and retrieving relevant case-control studies published between 2000 and 2016. Nine articles including 8 on miR-146a rs2910164 G/C and 3 on miR-149 rs2292832 C/T in 3372 patients with stroke and 4394 controls were included. The miR-149 rs2292832 was significantly associated with the risk of a stroke under allelic (C vs T: odds ratio [OR] = 1.14; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01-1.29; P = .03), homologous (CC vs TT: OR = 1.36; 95% CI = 1.05-1.77; P = .02), and recessive models (CC vs CT + TT: OR = 1.34; 95% CI = 1.05-1.71; P = .02). No correlation was detected between miR-146a rs2910164 and susceptibility to a stroke. In conclusion, the results suggested that miR-149 might be a risk factor for the development of a stroke, while miR-146a might not be. Well-designed studies with large populations are needed to clarify the association between miR-146a and miR-149 polymorphisms and strokes.

Abstract
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are genetic variations that contribute to human phenotypes associated with various diseases. SNPs are involved in the regulation of a broad range of physiological and pathological processes, such as cellular senescence, apoptosis, inflammation, and immune response, by upregulating the expression of classical inflammation markers. Recent studies have suggested that SNPs located in gene-encoding microRNAs (miRNAs) affect various aspects of diseases by regulating the expression or activity of miRNAs. In the last few years, miRNA polymorphisms that increase and/or reduce the risk of developing many diseases, such as cancers, autoimmune diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, have attracted increasing attention not only because of their involvement in the pathophysiology of diseases but also because they can be used as prognostic biomarkers for a variety of diseases. In this review, we summarize the relationships between miRNA SNPs and the pathophysiology and risk of diseases.

Abstract
Background The morbidity of erectile dysfunction (ED) has been found to be substantially increased in patients with chronic prostatitis (CP). Accumulating evidence shows that single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in pre-miRNA or mature microRNA may affect the processing of microRNA (miRNA) and alter the expression of the miRNA, as well as its target gene. In this study we investigated the association between rs2910164 G/C polymorphism and risk of ED in patients with CP, as well as the underlying molecular mechanism. Material/Methods Computational analysis was used to search for the target of miR-146a, and the luciferase reporter assay system was used to validate NOS1 to be the target gene of miR-146a. We also treated PC-3 cells with miR-146a mimics/inhibitors to verify the negative regulatory relationship between miR-146a and NOS1, and real-time PCR and Western blot analysis were used to estimate the expression of the NOS1 mRNA and miR-146a. Results The binding site of miR-146a was found to be located within the 3′-UTR of the NOS1 by searching an online miRNA database (www.mirdb.org), and luciferase reporter assay was done to confirm that NOS1 is a direct target gene of miR-146a. We also found that mRNA and protein expression level of NOS1 in PC-3 cells treated with miR-146a mimics and NOS1 siRNA was substantially down-regulated compared with scramble control, while cells treated with miR-146a inhibitors showed increased expression of NOS1. In addition, 705 people were recruited for our research – 342 CP patients with ED and 363 CP patients without ED – and we found that the presence of minor allele of rs2910164 polymorphism is significantly associated with reduced risk of ED in patients with CP. Conclusions The findings indicate a decreased risk of ED in patients with CP who are carriers of miR-146a rs2910164 C allele, and this association might be due to its ability to compromise the expression of miR-146a, and thereby increase the expression of its target gene, NOS1.

Association of the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in microRNAs 130b, 200b, and 495 with Ischemic Stroke Susceptibility and Post-Stroke Mortality. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0162519. [PMID: 27603512 PMCID: PMC5014326 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0162519] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/15/2016] [Accepted: 08/24/2016] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The microRNA (miRNA) is a small non-coding RNA molecule that modulates gene expression at the posttranscriptional level. Platelets have a crucial role in both hemostasis and thrombosis, a condition that can occlude a cerebral artery and cause ischemic stroke. miR-130b, miR-200b, and miR-495 are potential genetic modulators involving platelet production and activation. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these miRNAs might potentially contribute to the susceptibility to ischemic stroke and post-stroke mortality. This study included 523 ischemic stroke patients and 400 control subjects. We investigated the association of three miRNA SNPs (miR-130bT>C, miR-200bT>C, and miR-495A>C) with ischemic stroke prevalence and post-stroke mortality. In the multivariate logistic regression, there was no statistically significant difference in the distribution of miR-130bT>C, miR-200bT>C, or miR-495A>C between the ischemic stroke and control groups. In the subgroup analysis based on ischemic stroke subtype, the miR-200b CC genotype was less frequently found in the large-artery atherosclerosis stroke subtype compared with controls (TT+CT vs CC; adjusted odds ratio for CC, 0.506; 95% confidence interval, 0.265-0.965). During a mean follow-up period of 4.80 ± 2.11 years after stroke onset, there were 106 all-cause deaths among the 523 stroke patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis did not find a significant association between post-stroke mortality and three miRNA SNPs. Our findings suggest that the functional SNP of miR-200b might be responsible for the susceptibility to large-artery atherosclerotic stroke.

Association of the MicroRNA-146a SNP rs2910164 with Ischemic Stroke Incidence and Prognosis in a Chinese Population. Int J Mol Sci 2016; 17:ijms17050660. [PMID: 27164084 PMCID: PMC4881486 DOI: 10.3390/ijms17050660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2016] [Revised: 04/12/2016] [Accepted: 04/23/2016] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
We conducted a case-control study investigating the association between the single-nucleotide polymorphism rs2910164 in microRNA (miR)-146a and the risk and prognosis of stroke. We recruited a total of 1139 ischemic stroke patients and 1585 sex- and age-matched control subjects. After a median follow-up period of 4.5 years, 1071 of these ischemic stroke patients were then recruited for a prospective study. Our study revealed that rs2910164 was not associated with ischemic stroke incidence (odds ratio = 1.00; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.80–1.24; p = 0.985) by multivariate logistic regression. Meta-analysis of our case-control study and three others on Asian populations also suggested that there was no relationship between rs2910164 and ischemic stroke incidence. The significance of differences in long-term outcomes was examined by the log-rank test of the respective comparison groups. The prospective study showed that rs2910164 led to a 1.56-fold increased risk of stroke recurrence (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.56; 95% CI = 1.10–2.20; p = 0.013) and a 2.13-fold increased risk of death caused by cardiovascular disease or stroke (Csdeath) (HR = 2.13; 95% CI = 1.31–3.46; p = 0.002). The independent association of rs2910164 with stroke prognosis was evaluated using Cox regression models. Therefore, rs2910164 appears to be a strong predictor of stroke prognosis but not of stroke incidence in Asian populations.

Abstract
AIM To analyse the relationship between two potentially functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the miR-146a gene (rs2910164 and rs57095329) and the risk of atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI). METHODS A total of 297 patients with ACI and 300 matched healthy individuals were enrolled in the study. The miR-146a polymorphism was detected using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. RESULTS A significant difference in the C allele frequency at rs2910164 (p=0.028) was noted between patients with ACI and control subjects. In contrast, the genotype and allele frequencies of rs57095329 were not statistically associated with ACI. In addition, the decreased expression of miR-146a was significantly more frequent in ACI patients who were ApoEε4 (+) carriers (p=0.0233), and rs2910164 G>C was intimately associated with the ApoEε4-containing genotype in patients compared with the ApoEε4 (-) carriers (p=0.0323). CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicated that the C allele of rs2910164 miR-146a is an important risk factor for ACI, and ApoEε4 may function through attenuating miR-146a expression to enhance ACI susceptibility. This study provides new information about the possible relationship between miR-146a and ApoEε4 in the development of ACI, with potentially important therapeutic implications.

Abstract
Ischemic stroke (IS) is responsible for a high death rate and for adult disability worldwide. MiR-146a (rs2910164), miR-149 (rs2292832), miR-196a2 (rs11614913) and miR-499 (rs3746444) are found to be associated with ischemic stroke. However, the results were inconsistent and inconclusive. The present study performed a meta-analysis to get a more precise and comprehensive estimation of the association between the four polymorphisms and IS risk. The databases Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database were searched for related studies. A total of five studies including 2230 cases and 2229 controls were identified for the meta-analysis. The results indicate that TT genotype and T allele of miR-149 (rs2292832) are associated with significantly lower risks of IS in a homozygous model (OR = 0.70) and an allelic model (OR = 0.86). No significant associations were found between miR-146a (rs2910164), miR-196a2 (rs11614913), miR-499 (3746444) and IS susceptibility in any of the studies. However, subgroup analysis by sample size indicates a significant decrease in risks of IS for CC genotype and C allele of miR-146a (rs2910164) in the large sample size group. Therefore, miR-149 (rs2292832) might be recommended as a predictor for IS risk, while miR-146a (rs2910164), miR-196a2 (rs11614913), miR-499 (3746444) are not.

Abstract
Background The association between 3 well known SNPs – miR-146a C/G (rs2910164), miR-196a2 T/C (rs11614913), and miR-499 A/G (rs3746444) – in pre-miRNA sequences and ischemic stroke (IS) are still conflicting and inconclusive. This meta-analysis aimed to pool previous studies get a more precise assessment of the association between these 3 SNPs and the risk of IS. Material/Methods Relevant studies were searched in online databases. The strength of the association between the SNPs and IS were estimated by pooling odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) using Review Manager (version 5.3). Results Rs2910164 C allele was associated with lower IS risk. But this trend was only observed in Koreans under the allele model (OR=0.81, 95% CI=0.68–0.95, p=0.009), dominant model (OR=0.68, 95% CI=0.50–0.93, p=0.02), recessive model (OR=0.79, 95% CI=0.63–1.00, p=0.05), and homozygous model (OR=0.63, 95%CI=0.45–0.88, p=0.007). Rs11614913 T allele might be associated with higher IS risk under the dominant model (OR=1.45, 95% CI=1.19–1.78, p=0.0003), while rs3746444 A allele might be associated with decreased IS risk under the homozygous model (OR=0.48, 95% CI=0.23–0.98, p=0.04) only in Chinese, but not in Koreans. Conclusions Although the 3 SNPs might be associated with IS, the association varied significantly in different countries.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in microRNA (miR) genes and their target sites are a distinct classification of variation in the human genome, which are rapidly being identified and investigated in human cancer. A polymorphism in the miR-196a-2 locus has demonstrated significant associations with various types of cancer, including lung, breast, esophageal and gastric tumors. However, miR-196a-2 has not been fully explored in ovarian cancer, which shares similar biological characteristics with other types of cancer. Therefore, the present study aimed to elucidate the association between a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the mature sequence of miR-196a-2 (rs11614913, T/C) and the clinical features of 479 Chinese patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). In addition, the biological significance of this polymorphism was investigated in the OVCAR3 ovarian cancer cell line. Risk association was evaluated in 479 cases of EOC patients and 431 controls. SNPs were analyzed by using polymerase chain reaction based restriction fragment length polymorphism assay. miR-196a expression was evaluated with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction. The influence of miR-196a-2 rs11614913 T/C on EOC cell migration and invasion ability was further investigated in vitro. The results revealed significant differences in the homozygous CC genotype distribution in patients with EOC (n=479), compared with that of the control subjects (n=431; P=0.026). Analysis of the association between genotype and the risk of EOC revealed that individuals who carried the homozygous CC genotype were 1.34-fold more susceptible to EOC, compared with those carrying the wild-type TT and heterozygous CT genotypes [odds ratio, 1.34; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-2.17; P=0.023]. In addition, the role of this polymorphism in the production of mature miR-196a was investigated. Significantly enhanced production of mature miR-196a was revealed in the C-allelic compared with that of the T-allelic miR-196a-2 precursor (P<0.05). Further examination indicated that miR-196a significantly promoted cell migration and invasion ability in the human OVCAR3 ovarian cell line (P<0.05). In conclusion, the results indicated that the miR-196a-2 rs11614913 CC genotype may increase the risks of ovarian cancer by affecting the expression of mature miR-196a and enhancing cell migration/invasion. The current results provided evidence that the T>C polymorphism in the miR-196a-2 precursor may influence tumorigenesis and metastasis in EOC, and suggested that the functional SNP rs11614913 in the promoter region of pri-miR-196a-2 may be a potential indicator of EOC susceptibility in the population analyzed.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic stroke (IS) are manifestations of atherosclerosis, with a high death rate. miR-146a is a microRNA that participates in the progress of CAD and IS. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the precursor of miR-146a, rs2910164, was found to be associated with the risks of CAD and IS. However, the results were inconsistent and inconclusive. A meta-analysis was performed to assess the relationship of rs2910164 and CAD as well as IS susceptibility. The database Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM) were searched for related studies. Crude odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were used to investigate the strength of the association by random- or fixed-effect model. A total of eight studies, with 3138 cases and 3097 controls were identified for the meta-analysis. The results shows that rs2910164 is associated with the risk of CAD significantly in allelic model (OR = 0.86), homozygous model (OR = 0.70), heterozygous model (OR = 0.80) and dominant model (OR = 0.76). The subjects carrying the GG genotype, GG + GC genotype or G allele are at lower risks of CAD. For the susceptibility of IS, there are no significant associations between rs2910164 and total studies. However, in subgroup analysis by sample size and ethnicity, the GG, GG + GC and G allele of rs2910164 are found to be associated with higher risks of IS in large sample size group and in Koreans, under homozygous and dominant models. In conclusion, the current meta-analysis suggests lower risks of CAD for GG, GG + GC genotype and G allele of rs2910164, while rs2910164 is not associated with the risk of IS. Thus rs2910164 might be recommended as a predictor for susceptibility of CAD, but not IS.

Abstract
The microRNA146a rs2910164 polymorphism has been associated with the development of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases (CCDs); however, the results were inconsistent among different studies. The present report was aimed to investigate the association between rs2910164 G/C polymorphism and the risk of CCDs. Based on the data extracted from 12 eligible studies with a total of 5433 CCD cases and 6278 controls, we performed a meta-analysis to assess the diseases risk of rs2910164 G/C polymorphism under allelic contrast (C vs. G), homozygote comparisons (CC vs. GG), heterozygote comparisons (GC vs. GG), dominant model (CC+GC vs. GG) and recessive models (CC vs. GC+GG) in fixed or random effects models. We also conducted pathway enrichment analyses using the putative and validated miR-146a interacting targets to explore the functional impacts of rs2910164. The current meta-analysis results showed that rs2910164 CC genotype has a decreased risk with overall cardiovascular diseases and the specific coronary artery disease. Stratified analysis based on ethnicity showed that the CC genotype has a decreased risk with CCDs in Chinese population, but has an increased risk with CCDs in Korean and Indian populations. The results from pathway enrichment analysis also revealed the association of rs2910164 G allele with heart function and disease related pathways. Our findings suggested that miR-146a CC genotype might be a protective factor for cardiovascular diseases in Chinese population, but a risk factor in Korean and Indian populations.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are present in serum and have the potential to serve as disease biomarkers. As such, it is important to explore the clinical value of miRNAs in serum as biomarkers for ischemic stroke (IS) and cast light on the pathogenesis of IS. In this study, we screened differentially expressed serum miRNAs from IS and normal people by miRNA microarray analysis, and validated the expression of candidate miRNAs using quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assays. Furthermore, we performed gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses to disclose functional enrichment of genes predicted to be regulated by the differentially expressed miRNAs. Notably, our results revealed that 115 miRNAs were differentially expressed in IS, among which miR-32-3p, miR-106-5p, and miR-532-5p were first found to be associated with IS. In addition, GO and KEGG pathway analyses showed that genes predicted to be regulated by differentially expressed miRNAs were significantly enriched in several related biological process and pathways, including axon guidance, glioma, MAPK signaling, mammalian target of rapamycin signaling, and ErbB-signaling pathway. In conclusion, we identified the changed expression pattern of miRNAs in IS. Serum miR-32-3p, miR-106-5p, miR-1246, and miR-532-5p may serve as potential diagnostic biomarkers for IS. Our results also demonstrate a novel role for miRNAs in the pathogenesis of IS.
