Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the importance of miRNA variants in female reproductive disorders has been frequently reported, the association between miRNA polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been poorly studied. In this study, we aimed to assess the correlation of four different miRNA variants to unexplained RPL. METHODS AND RESULTS The prevalence of four SNPs including miR-21 rs1292037, miR-155-5p rs767649, miR-218-2 rs11134527, and miR-605 rs2043556 in 280 cases with iRPL and 280 controls was performed. The DNA was extracted from all subjects and the SNPs were genotyped using RFLP-PCR methods. The data revealed that rs1292037 and rs767649 were significantly associated with higher rates of iRPL in patients compared with controls while rs11134527 and rs2043556 showed no association with increased rates of iRPL among patients. The haplotypes T-A-G-G and T-A-G-A were the most frequent in both cases and controls. Three haplotypes including T-T-G-A, C-T-G-G, and T-A-A-A showed significantly different frequencies in patients in comparison to healthy females. CONCLUSION This study suggests that rs1292037 and rs767649 could be risk factors for increased rates of iRPL.

Abstract
Characterized by cardiovascular disease and diabetes, cardiometabolic diseases are a major cause of mortality around the world. As such, there is an urgent need to understand the pathogenesis of cardiometabolic diseases. Increasing evidence suggests that most of the mammalian genome are transcribed as RNA, but only a few percent of them encode for proteins. All of the RNAs that do not encode for proteins are collectively called non-protein-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Among these ncRNAs, long ncRNAs (lncRNAs) are considered as missing keys to understand the pathogeneses of various diseases, including cardiometabolic diseases. Given the increased interest in lncRNAs, in this study, we will summarize the latest trend in the lncRNA research from the perspective of cardiometabolism and disease by focusing on the major risk factors of cardiometabolic diseases: obesity, cholesterol, diabetes, and hypertension. Because genetic inheritance is unavoidable in cardiometabolic diseases, we paid special attention to the genetic factors of lncRNAs that may influence cardiometabolic diseases.

Abstract
Background Long noncoding RNA GAS5 (lnc‐GAS5) and its target microRNA‐21 (miR‐21) regulate blood lipid, macrophages, Th cells, vascular smooth muscle cells to participate in atherosclerosis, and related coronary heart disease (CHD). The study aimed to further explore the linkage of their circulating expressions with common biochemical indexes, stenosis severity and inflammatory cytokines in CHD patients. Methods Ninety‐eight CHD patients and 100 controls confirmed by coronary angiography were enrolled. Plasma samples were collected for lnc‐GAS5 and miR‐21 detection by reverse transcription‐quantitative polymerase chain reaction and inflammatory cytokines determination by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Results Lnc‐GAS5 was increased in CHD patients compared with controls (2.270 (interquartile range [IQR]: 1.676–3.389) vs. 0.999 ([IQR: 0.602–1.409], p < 0.001), whereas miR‐21 showed opposite tread (0.442 [IQR: 0.318–0.698] vs. 0.997 [IQR: 0.774–1.368], p < 0.001). In aspect of their intercorrelation, lnc‐GAS5 negatively linked with miR‐21 in CHD patients (p < 0.001) instead of controls (p = 0.211). Interestingly, among the common biochemical indexes, lnc‐GAS5 related to decreased high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol (p = 0.008) and increased C‐reactive protein (CRP) (p < 0.001), while miR‐21 correlated with lower total cholesterol (p = 0.024) and CRP (p < 0.001) in CHD patients. As stenosis degree, lnc‐GAS5 positively correlated with Gensini score (p < 0.001), but miR‐21 exhibited negative association (p = 0.003) in CHD patients. In terms of inflammatory cytokines, lnc‐GAS5 positively related to tumor necrosis factor α (TNF‐α) and interleukin (IL)‐17A, while miR‐21 negatively linked with TNF‐α, IL‐1β, IL‐6, and IL‐17 in CHD patients (all p < 0.05). Conclusion Circulating lnc‐GAS5 and its target miR‐21 exhibit potency to serve as biomarkers for CHD management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin receptor (INSR), insulin receptor substrate (IRS) and glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) play important roles in the insulin resistance pathway. The microRNA (miRNA or miR) involved in INSR, IRS or GLUT4 could be associated with the development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS The aim of this study was to investigate the association of T2DM with 12 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 7 miRNAs (miR-195, miR-126, miR-144, miR-155, miR-21, miR-93 and miR-222) involved in the insulin resistance pathway. A total of 1593 subjects with T2DM and 1656 nondiabetic subjects were genotyped. Then, the associations of these SNPs with the development of T2DM and individual metabolic traits were evaluated, such as fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1C). RESULTS Our data showed that the C allele of rs1292037 in miR-21 could increase the risk of developing T2DM (P = 0.002, OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 1.06-1.29). In addition, the T allele of rs13137 in miR-21 could be a risk factor for T2DM (P = 0.003, OR = 1.16; 95% CI: 1.05-1.28). According to inheritance mode analysis, compared with the T/T-T/C genotype, the C/C genotype of rs1292037 showed a risk effect in T2DM in the recessive mode (P = 0.001, OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.13-1.63). For rs13137, compared with the A/A-A/T genotype, the T/T genotype also showed a risk effect in T2DM in the recessive mode (P = 0.001, OR = 1.35; 95% CI: 1.13-1.62). Moreover, in the nondiabetic group, compared with the rs78312845 A/G (FPG = 5.177±0.488mmol/L; HbA1C = 5.147±0.293%) and A/A genotypes (FPG = 5.155±0.486mmol/L; HbA1C = 5.136±0.299%), the G/G genotype (FPG = 4.887±0.482mmol/L; HbA1C = 4.960±0.397%) was associated with lower FPG (P = 0.012 and 0.019) and HbA1C (P = 0.008 and 0.011). CONCLUSION Our results revealed that rs1292037 and rs13137 in miR-21 were associated with T2DM susceptibility in a Han Chinese population. Moreover, the rs78312845 in miR-195 contributed to the level of FPG and HbA1C in nondiabetic group in the Han Chinese population.

Abstract
This study is aimed at exploring the role and potential molecular mechanism of microRNA-21 (miR-21) in coronary heart disease (CHD). RT-qPCR analysis was conducted to detect the expression of miR-21, Sprouty 1 (SPRY1), and connexin 43 (CX43). The protein expression of SPRY1 and CX43 was measured by western blot. ELISA was performed for measuring inflammatory factors, including intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β). The target relationship between miR-21 and SPRY1 was determined by dual-luciferase reporter assay. Cell multiplication and apoptosis were detected using CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry analysis, respectively. Our results indicated that miR-21, CX43, and the level of inflammatory cytokines including ICAM-1 and IL-1β were upregulated, while SPRY1 was downregulated in blood samples from CHD patients compared with the controls. Besides, miR-21 directly targeted SRPY-1. miR-21 could suppress SPRY1 expression and enhance CX43 expression in VSMCs. Moreover, miR-21 accelerated cell multiplication and attenuated cell apoptosis in VSMCs. Collectively, these findings suggested that miR-21 could effectively elevate VSMC multiplication and repress apoptosis by targeting SPRY1 in CHD, providing a potential target for therapeutic strategy of CHD.

Abstract
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) regulate many biological processes by interacting with corresponding RNA-binding proteins. The identification of lncRNA-protein Interactions (LPIs) is significantly important to well characterize the biological functions and mechanisms of lncRNAs. Existing computational methods have been effectively applied to LPI prediction. However, the majority of them were evaluated only on one LPI dataset, thereby resulting in prediction bias. More importantly, part of models did not discover possible LPIs for new lncRNAs (or proteins). In addition, the prediction performance remains limited. To solve with the above problems, in this study, we develop a Deep Forest-based LPI prediction method (LPIDF). First, five LPI datasets are obtained and the corresponding sequence information of lncRNAs and proteins are collected. Second, features of lncRNAs and proteins are constructed based on four-nucleotide composition and BioSeq2vec with encoder-decoder structure, respectively. Finally, a deep forest model with cascade forest structure is developed to find new LPIs. We compare LPIDF with four classical association prediction models based on three fivefold cross validations on lncRNAs, proteins, and LPIs. LPIDF obtains better average AUCs of 0.9012, 0.6937 and 0.9457, and the best average AUPRs of 0.9022, 0.6860, and 0.9382, respectively, for the three CVs, significantly outperforming other methods. The results show that the lncRNA FTX may interact with the protein P35637 and needs further validation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous epidemiological studies displayed that long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) polymorphisms are associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease, while the results are inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to more accurately determine the association between LncRNA polymorphism and the risk of coronary artery disease. METHODS PubMed, EmBase and Web of Science databases were searched, and the time to build the database was set until December 2020. The association between LncRNA polymorphism and the risk of coronary artery disease was collected and evaluated. Meta-analysis was performed by STATA 14.0 software, and the odds ratio and its 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were applied to estimate the association between LncRNA polymorphism and the risk of coronary artery disease. RESULTS The results of this meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis will summarize the relationship between LncRNA polymorphism and coronary disease risk. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethical approval was not required for this study. The systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal, presented at conferences, and shared on social media platforms. This review would be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal or conference presentations. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/9XPHS.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a complex condition and serious health problem, with growing occurrence of DM-associated complications occurring globally. Persistent hyperglycemia is confirmed as promoting neurovascular dysfunction leading to irreversible endothelial cell dysfunction, increased neuronal cell apoptosis, oxidative stress and inflammation. These collaboratively and individually result in micro- and macroangiopathy as well as neuropathy demonstrated by progressive neuronal loss. Recently, major efforts have been pursued to select not only useful diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, but also novel therapeutic approaches. Both microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) belong to a class of non-coding RNAs identified in most of the body fluids i.e., peripheral blood, cerebrospinal fluid, brain tissue and neurons. Numerous miRNAs, lncRNAs and their target genes are able to modulate signaling pathways known to play a role in the pathophysiology of progressive neuronal dysfunction. Therefore, they pose as promising biomarkers and treatment for the vast majority of neurodegenerative disorders. This review provides an overall assessment of both miRNAs’ and lncRNAs’ utility in decelerating progressive nervous system impairment, including neurodegeneration in diabetic pathways.

Abstract
Background Circulating long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) plays a vital role in clinical disease diagnosis and prognosis. Here, we evaluate the role of a lncRNA, named growth arrest specific 5 (GAS5), in atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods Expression of GAS5 was measured by qRT‐PCR. Diagnostic and prognostic values of GAS5 were assessed by the receiver operating characteristics curve (ROC), Kaplan–Meier (KM) and Cox regression analyses. Results A total of 173 participants were enrolled in this study. Circulating GAS5 expression was significantly down‐regulated in AF patients. This change occurred prior to enlargement of the left atrial volume and was strongly associated with AF progression, which demonstrates the potential use of GAS5 as an early biomarker. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.858 (95% CI 0.789‐0.926, P < .001). Seventy of the 85 AF patients received radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA), and 22 (31.4%) had relapsed by the 1‐year follow‐up. The KM analysis (log‐rank test, P = .031) and multivariable Cox analysis (HR = 0.127, 95% CI 0.026‐0.616; P = .01) revealed that GAS5 has a role in predicting recurrence after RFCA. Conclusion Circulating lncRNA GAS5 is a potential biomarker for AF diagnosis and prognosis. Down‐regulation of GAS5 occurs prior to left atrial enlargement and can be used for the prognosis of AF progression and recurrence.

In recent years, an increasing number of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been discovered using microarrays and nucleic acid sequencing technology. LncRNAs exert crucial biological functions by regulating signaling pathways. In particular, the lncRNA growth arrest-specific transcript 5 (GAS5) has been documented to serve a crucial role in numerous signaling pathways. This article discusses the latest developments in the association between GAS5 and microRNA (miRNA), p53, mTOR, glucocorticoid response element (GRE) and AKT in order to investigate the roles served by GAS5. miRNAs can activate related signaling pathways and GAS5 can combine with miRNA to regulate related signaling pathways. GAS5 may regulate p53 expression via derivation of snoRNA, but the underlying mechanism requires further investigation. GAS5 overxpresion reduces the expression level of mTOR, which is induced by inhibiting miR-106a-5p expression. GAS5 is a sponge of GR, and serves a role in controlling and maintaining glucocorticoid sensitivity and drug resistance via competitive combination with GR. GAS5 can interact with miRNAs, such as miR-21 and miR-532-5p, to regulate the expression of AKT signaling pathway, affecting cell survival and apoptosis. Collectively, the data indicate that GAS5 serves a key role in the miRNA, p53, mTOR, GRE, and AKT signaling pathways. GAS5 regulates complex intracellular signaling pathways primarily through three modes of action, all of which are interrelated: Signal, decoy and guide. In the present article, latest developments in the association between GAS5 and a number of cellular signaling pathways are discussed to examine the tumor suppressive role of GAS5.

Abstract
Background Allowing for the significance of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in reflecting disease risk, this investigation attempted to uncover whether SNPs situated in lncRNA GAS5/miR‐21/mTOR axis were associated with risk and prognosis of coronary heart disease (CHD) among a Chinese Han population. Methods Altogether 436 patients with CHD were recruited as cases, and meanwhile, 471 healthy volunteers were included into the control group. Besides, SNPs of GAS5/MIR‐21/mTOR axis were genotyped utilizing mass spectrometry. Chi‐square test was applied to figure out SNPs that were strongly associated with CHD risk and prognosis, and combined effects of SNPs and environmental parameters on CHD risk were evaluated through multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) model. Results Single nucleotide polymorphisms of GAS5 (ie, rs2067079 and rs6790), MIR‐21 (ie, rs1292037), and mTOR (rs2295080, rs2536, and rs1034528) were associated with susceptibility to CHD, and also Gensini score change of patients with CHD (P < .05). MDR results further demonstrated that rs2067079 and rs2536 were strongly interactive in elevating CHD risk (P < .05), while smoking, rs6790 and rs2295080 showed powerful reciprocity in predicting Gensini score change of patients with CHD (P < .05). Conclusion Single nucleotide polymorphisms of lncRNA GAS5/miR‐21/mTOR axis might interact with smoking to regulate CHD risk, which was conducive to diagnosis and prognostic anticipation of CHD.
