Abstract
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the most severe cardiovascular event in clinical settings, imposes a significant burden with its annual increase in morbidity and mortality rates. However, it is noteworthy that mortality due to AMI in developed countries has experienced a decline, largely attributable to the advancements in medical interventions such as percutaneous coronary intervention. This trend highlights the importance of accurate diagnosis and effective treatment to preserve the myocardium at risk and improve patient outcomes. Conventional biomarkers such as myoglobin, creatine kinase isoenzymes, and troponin have been instrumental in the diagnosis of AMI. However, recent years have witnessed the emergence of new biomarkers demonstrating the potential to further enhance the accuracy of AMI diagnosis. This literature review focuses on the recent advancements in biomarker research in the context of AMI diagnosis.

Abstract
Recent reports show miR-449b-5p reduces liver and renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, but its effects on hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte injury in ischemic heart disease are still unknown. In this study, AC16 human cardiomyocytes underwent hypoxic conditions for durations of 24, 48, and 72 h. We observed that miR-449b-5p expression was significantly downregulated in hypoxic AC16 cardiomyocytes. Elevating the levels of miR-449b-5p in these cells resulted in enhanced cell survival, diminished release of LDH, and a reduction in cell apoptosis and oxidative stress using CCK-8, LDH assays, flow cytometry, TUNEL staining, and various commercial kits. Conversely, reducing miR-449b-5p levels resulted in the opposite effects. Through bioinformatics analysis and luciferase reporter assays, BCL2-like 13 (BCL2L13) was determined to be a direct target of miR-449b-5p. Inhibiting BCL2L13 greatly inhibited hypoxia-induced cell viability loss, LDH release, cell apoptosis, and excessive production of oxidative stress, whereas increasing BCL2L13 negated miR-449b-5p's protective impact in hypoxic AC16 cardiomyocytes. Additionally, miR-449b-5p elevated the levels of the proteins p-PI3K, p-AKT, and Bcl-2, while decreasing Bax expression in hypoxic AC16 cardiomyocytes by targeting BCL2L13. In summary, the research indicates that the protective effects of miR-449b-5p are facilitated through the activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway, which promotes cell survival, and by targeting BCL2L13, which inhibits apoptosis, offering a potential therapeutic strategy for ischemic heart disease by mitigating hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte injury.

Abstract
In recent years, investigations have revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) can bind together and form a miRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory network that alters the consequence of miRNA-mRNA interaction. If we consider the miRNA that binds to mRNA as the primary miRNA and the miRNA that binds to the primary miRNA as the secondary one, secondry miRNAs can act as master regulators upstream of primary miRNAs and their target mRNAs. One of the distinguishing characteristics of secondary miRNAs as master regulators within a diverse set of differentially expressed genes is the absence of direct target mRNA for them. Instead, these master regulators exclusively govern the regulation of miRNAs that target specific mRNAs. Through in silico analysis, we identified 18 miRNAs among 385 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) with no direct target mRNAs among 58 differentially expressed mRNAs (DEmRNAs) in peripheral blood of patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Instead, these secondary miRNAs targeted 9 primary miRNAs that had 36 direct targets among 58 DEmRNAs. We found that one primary miRNA might be regulated by more than one secondary miRNAs and each secondary miRNA can target more than one primary miRNAs. Among identified miRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks miR-188-5p/miR-299-3p/natural killer cell granule protein (NKG7), miR-200a-3p/miR-199b-5p/granzyme B (GZMB), and miR-377-3p/miR-581/oviductal glycoprotein 1 (OVGP1) exhibited higher scors in terms of expression levels (>2-fold increase or decrease) and strengh of interactions (ΔG < -5). Given the extensive network of miRNA interactions, focusing on master regulators opens up avenues for identifying key regulatory nodes for more effective therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Revascularization of coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) still remains controversial. The factors that impact collateral circulation and myocardial perfusion are of interest. Circular RNA (circRNA) has been shown to regulate the process of angiogenesis. However, the effects of circ-membrane-bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 2 (circ-MBOAT2) on angiogenesis in patients with CTO were unclear. In this study, we evaluated circulating circRNAs and miRNAs in patients with CTO and stable coronary artery disease using high-throughput sequencing. Another cohort of patients were selected to verify the expressions of circ-MBOAT2 and miR-495. The role and mechanism of circ-MBOAT2 in the process of angiogenesis were explored through in vitro and vivo studies. Finally, we came back to a clinical perspective and investigated whether circ-MBOAT2 and miR-495 were associated with the improvement of myocardial perfusion evaluated by single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). We found that the expression of circ-MBOAT2 was significantly up-regulated while miR-495 was significantly down-regulated in patients with CTO. The expression of circ-MBOAT2 was negatively correlated with miR-495 in patients with CTO. In an in vitro study, we found that circ-MBOAT2 promoted tube formation and cell migration via the miR-495/NOTCH1 axis in endothelial cells. In an in vivo study, we showed that the inhibition of miR-495 caused the increase in collateral formation in mice after hindlimb ischemia. In a human study, we showed the expressions of circ-MBOAT2 and miR-495 were associated with myocardial perfusion improvement after revascularization of CTO. In conclusion, circ-MBOAT2 regulates angiogenesis via the miR-495/NOTCH1 axis and associates with myocardial perfusion in patients with CTO. Our findings suggest that circ-MBOAT2 and miR-495 may be potential therapeutic targets and prognostic factors for patients with CTO.

Abstract
Background: Anthracycline cardiotoxicity is a well-known complication of cancer treatment, and miRNAs have emerged as a key driver in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to investigate the expression of miRNAs in the myocardium in early and late stages of chronic anthracycline induced cardiotoxicity to determine whether this expression is associated with the severity of cardiac damage. Method: Cardiotoxicity was induced in rabbits via daunorubicin administration (daunorubicin, 3 mg/kg/week; for five and 10 weeks), while the control group received saline solution. Myocardial miRNA expression was first screened using TaqMan Advanced miRNA microfluidic card assays, after which 32 miRNAs were selected for targeted analysis using qRT-PCR. Results: The first subclinical signs of cardiotoxicity (significant increase in plasma cardiac troponin T) were observed after 5 weeks of daunorubicin treatment. At this time point, 10 miRNAs (including members of the miRNA-34 and 21 families) showed significant upregulation relative to the control group, with the most intense change observed for miRNA-1298-5p (29-fold change, p < 0.01). After 10 weeks of daunorubicin treatment, when a further rise in cTnT was accompanied by significant left ventricle systolic dysfunction, only miR-504-5p was significantly (p < 0.01) downregulated, whereas 10 miRNAs were significantly upregulated relative to the control group; at this time-point, the most intense change was observed for miR-34a-5p (76-fold change). Strong correlations were found between the expression of multiple miRNAs (including miR-34 and mir-21 family and miR-1298-5p) and quantitative indices of toxic damage in both the early and late phases of cardiotoxicity development. Furthermore, plasma levels of miR-34a-5p were strongly correlated with the myocardial expression of this miRNA. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that describes alterations in miRNA expression in the myocardium during the transition from subclinical, ANT-induced cardiotoxicity to an overt cardiotoxic phenotype; we also revealed how these changes in miRNA expression are strongly correlated with quantitative markers of cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of hospitalization affecting approximately 38 million people worldwide. While pharmacological and revascularization techniques can improve the patient's survival and quality of life, they cannot help reversing myocardial infarction injury and heart failure. Direct reprogramming of somatic cells to cardiomyocyte and cardiac progenitor cells offers a new approach to cellular reprogramming and paves the way for translational regenerative medicine. Direct reprogramming can bypass the pluripotent stage with the potential advantage of non-immunogenic cell products, reduced carcinogenic risk, and no requirement for embryonic tissue. The process of directly reprogramming cardiac cells was first achieved through the overexpression of transcription factors such as GATA4, MEF2C, and TBX5. However, over the past decade, significant work has been focused on enhancing direct reprogramming using a mixture of transcription factors, microRNAs, and small molecules to achieve cardiac cell fate. This review discusses the evolution of direct reprogramming, recent progress in achieving efficient cardiac cell fate conversion, and describes the reprogramming mechanisms at a molecular level. We also explore various viral and non-viral delivery methods currently being used to aid in the delivery of reprogramming factors to improve efficiency. However, further studies will be needed to overcome molecular and epigenetic barriers to successfully achieve translational cardiac regenerative therapeutics.

Abstract
Here we develop robust noncovalent spherical nucleic acid enzymes (SNAzymes) for direct electrochemiluminescence (ECL) detection of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) related endogenous microRNAs in both circulating blood and cardiomyocytes, which circumvents the need for time-consuming signal amplification widely used in previous counterparts. It mainly relies on the super peroxidase-like activity of the designed noncovalent SNAzymes, promoted by a few nucleotides flanking on the 3'-terminals of common parallel G-quadruplexes (G4). For this reason, an unmodified G4 with an A5T30 head is well chosen and then attached robustly onto bare AuNPs via microwave-assisted heating-drying. A probe strand is meanwhile attached onto SNAzymes, enabling the target microRNA-triggered formation of a Y-shaped junction together with a capture strand tethered to a DNA tetrahedron on the electrode surface. The utilization of this tetrahedral nanoscaffold favors the ECL readout and thereby contributes to high sensitivity of the sensing platform. In this way, an AMI-related microRNA, miR-499, can be probed in a wide linear range, with a detection limit of 33 aM and high selectivity over other analogues. Furthermore, our developed sensing platform is employed to analyze endogenous miR-499 in AMI patients' blood, revealing an apparently higher level than the mean value of the healthy. What it means to patients, heart injury, is elucidated by comparing the miR-499 levels of cardiomyocytes and other tissue cells, with endogenous miR-16 as an intrinsic reference.

Abstract
The Yangtze River Delta white goats are the sole goat breed producing brush hair of high quality. Owing to the particularities of its wool production, a higher demand is placed on breeding efforts for this animal. Studies on the developmental mechanisms of the aligned hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) provide a theoretical basis for molecular breeding. In the present study, HFSCs were isolated using the technique of immunohistochemistry from the cervical spinal skin tissue samples from the fetal sheep, and the miR-133a-3p expression was confirmed using quantitative reverse-transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) and western blotting experiments from the isolated HFSCs. Additionally, the effects on the proliferation and apoptosis of HFSCs were detected using flow cytometry and 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine assays, along with other methods, following the overexpression of miR-133a-3p or its inhibition. The experimental results revealed that miR-133a-3p overexpressed could inhibit the proliferation of HFSCs and promote apoptosis by specifically targeting DUSP6. While the miR-133a-3p knockdown could promote the proliferation but inhibit the apoptosis of the HFSCs. Meanwhile, the miR-133a-3p knockdown experiments showed opposite outcomes. These results illustrate the presence of a relevant network between DUSP6 and miR-133a-3p, which regulates the production of superior-quality brush hair.

Abstract
Pre-eclampsia, which is part of the spectrum of hypertensive pregnancy disorders, poses a significant health burden, contributing to maternal and infant morbidity and mortality. Pre-eclampsia is widely associated with persistent adverse effects on the cardiovascular health of women with a history of pre-eclampsia. Additionally, there is increasing evidence demonstrating that offspring of pre-eclamptic pregnancies have altered cardiac structure and function, as well as different vascular physiology due to the decrease in endothelial function. Therefore, early detection of the likelihood of developing pre-eclampsia-associated cardiovascular diseases is vital, as this could facilitate the undertaking of the necessary clinical measures to avoid disease progression. The utilisation of microRNAs as biomarkers is currently on the rise as microRNAs have been found to play important roles in regulating various physiological and pathophysiological processes. In regard to pre-eclampsia, recent studies have shown that the expression of microRNAs is altered in postpartum women and their offspring who have been exposed to pre-eclampsia, and that these alterations may persist for several years. This review, therefore, addresses changes in microRNA expression found in postpartum women and offspring exposed to pre-eclampsia, their involvement in cardiovascular disease, and the potential role of microRNAs to be used as predictive tools and therapeutic targets in future cardiovascular disease research.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNA molecules that play a role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. It is generally accepted that their main mechanism of action is the negative regulation of gene expression, through binding to specific regions in messenger RNA (mRNA) and repressing protein translation. By interrupting protein synthesis, miRNAs can effectively turn genes off and influence many basic processes in the body, such as developmental and apoptotic behaviours of cells and cardiac organogenesis. Their importance is highlighted by inhibiting or overexpressing certain miRNAs, which will be discussed in the context of coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, bradycardia, and heart failure. Dysregulated levels of miRNAs in the body can exacerbate or alleviate existing disease, and their omnipresence in the body makes them reliable as quantifiable markers of disease. This review aims to provide a summary of miRNAs as biomarkers and their interactions with targets that affect cardiac health, and intersperse it with current therapeutic knowledge. It intends to succinctly inform on these topics and guide readers toward more comprehensive works if they wish to explore further through a wide-ranging citation list.

Abstract
Epigenetic modifications play a fundamental role in the progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). This panoramic review aims to provide an overview of the current understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms involved in CAD pathogenesis and highlights the potential implications for personalized medicine approaches. Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes that do not influence alterations in the DNA sequence of the genome. It has been shown that epigenetic processes, including DNA/histone methylation, acetylation, and phosphorylation, play an important role. Additionally, miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs are also involved in epigenetics, regulating gene expression patterns in response to various environmental factors and lifestyle choices. In the context of CAD, epigenetic alterations contribute to the dysregulation of genes involved in inflammation, oxidative stress, lipid metabolism, and vascular function. These epigenetic changes can occur during early developmental stages and persist throughout life, predisposing individuals to an increased risk of CAD. Furthermore, in recent years, the concept of personalized medicine has gained significant attention. Personalized medicine aims to tailor medical interventions based on an individual's unique genetic, epigenetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. In the context of CAD, understanding the interplay between genetic variants and epigenetic modifications holds promise for the development of more precise diagnostic tools, risk stratification models, and targeted therapies. This review summarizes the current knowledge of epigenetic mechanisms in CAD and discusses the fundamental principles of personalized medicine.

Abstract
Redox imbalance plays essential role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Chronic heart failure (CHF) and hypertension are associated with central oxidative stress, which is partly mediated by the downregulation of antioxidant enzymes in the central autonomic neurons that regulate sympathetic outflow, resulting in sympathoexcitation. Antioxidant proteins are partially regulated by the transcriptional factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Downregulation of Nrf2 is key to disrupting central redox homeostasis and mediating sympathetic nerve activity in the setting of Chronic heart failure and hypertension. Nrf2, in turn, is regulated by various mechanisms, such as extracellular vesicle-enriched microRNAs derived from several cell types, including heart and skeletal muscle. In this review, we discuss the role of Nrf2 in regulating oxidative stress in the brain and its impact on sympathoexcitation in Chronic heart failure and hypertension. Importantly, we also discuss interorgan communication via extracellular vesicle pathways that mediate central redox imbalance through Nrf2 signaling.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are emerging mediators of intracellular and inter-organ communications in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), especially in the pathogenesis of heart failure through the transference of EV-containing bioactive substances. microRNAs (miRNAs) are contained in EV cargo and are involved in the progression of heart failure. Over the past several years, a growing body of evidence has suggested that the biogenesis of miRNAs and EVs is tightly regulated, and the sorting of miRNAs into EVs is highly selective and tightly controlled. Extracellular miRNAs, particularly circulating EV-miRNAs, have shown promising potential as prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers for heart failure and as therapeutic targets. In this review, we summarize the latest progress concerning the role of EV-miRNAs in HF and their application in a therapeutic strategy development for heart failure.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs; miRs) are small non-coding ribonucleic acids sequences vital in regulating gene expression. They are significant in many biological and pathological processes and are even detectable in various body fluids such as serum, plasma, and urine. Research has demonstrated that the irregularity of miRNA in multiplying cardiac cells is linked to developmental deformities in the heart's structure. It has also shown that miRNAs are crucial in diagnosing and progressing several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The review covers the function of miRNAs in the pathophysiology of CVD. Additionally, the review provides an overview of the potential role of miRNAs as disease-specific diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for human CVD, as well as their biological implications in CVD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Myocardial injury is the main manifestation of cardiovascular diseases, and previous studies have shown that propofol (PPF) regulates myocardial injury. However, the mechanism of PPF in regulating myocardial injury remains to be further explored. This work aims to analyze the effects of PPF on human cardiomyocyte injury and the underlying mechanism. METHODS The regulatory and functional role of PPF and circAPBB2 in human cardiomyocyte injury were analyzed using an in vitro hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) cell model, which was established by treating human cardiomyocytes (AC16 cells) with H/R. The study evaluated AC16 cell injury by analyzing cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis of H/R-induced AC16 cells. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect circAPBB2, miR-18a-5p and dual specificity phosphatase 14 (DUSP14) expression. Protein expression was analyzed by Western blot analysis assay. Dual-luciferase reporter assay, RNA pull-down assay and RNA immunoprecipitation assay were performed to identify the associations among circAPBB2, miR-18a-5p and DUSP14. Cytotoxicity was investigated by cell counting kit-8 assay and lactate dehydrogenase activity detection kit. Oxidative stress was evaluated by cellular reactive oxygen species assay kit and superoxide dismutase activity assay kit. The production of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. RESULTS The expression of circAPBB2 and DUSP14 was significantly decreased, while miR-18a-5p was increased in H/R-induced AC16 cells when compared with controls. H/R treatment-induced cytotoxicity, oxidative stress, inflammation and cell apoptosis were attenuated after circAPBB2 overexpression or PPF treatment, whereas these effects were restored by increasing miR-18a-5p expression. PPF treatment improved the inhibitory effect of ectopic circAPBB2 expression on H/R-induced cell injury. MiR-18a-5p silencing ameliorated H/R-induced AC16 damage by interacting with DUSP14. Mechanically, circAPBB2 acted as a miR-18a-5p sponge, and miR-18a-5p targeted DUSP14 in AC16 cells. CONCLUSION PPF synergized with circAPBB2 to protect AC16 cells against H/R-induced oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis through the miR-18a-5p/DUSP14 pathway.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in most developed countries. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are highly investigated molecules not only in CVD but also in other diseases. Several studies on miRNAs continue to reveal novel miRNAs that may play a role in CVD, in their pathogenesis in diagnosis or prognosis, but evidence for clinical implementation is still lacking. The aim of this study is to clarify the diagnostic potential of miRNAs in some CVDs.

Abstract
The adult heart is made up of cardiomyocytes (CMs) that maintain pump function but are unable to divide and form new myocytes in response to myocardial injury. In contrast, the developmental cardiac tissue is made up of proliferative CMs that regenerate injured myocardium. In mammals, CMs during development are diploid and mononucleated. In response to cardiac maturation, CMs undergo polyploidization and binucleation associated with CM functional changes. The transition from mononucleation to binucleation coincides with unique metabolic changes and shift in energy generation. Recent studies provide evidence that metabolic reprogramming promotes CM cell cycle reentry and changes in ploidy and nucleation state in the heart that together enhances cardiac structure and function after injury. This review summarizes current literature regarding changes in CM ploidy and nucleation during development, maturation and in response to cardiac injury. Importantly, how metabolism affects CM fate transition between mononucleation and binucleation and its impact on cell cycle progression, proliferation and ability to regenerate the heart will be discussed.

Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common cause of heart failure, and males are more likely to suffer from DCM than females. This research aimed at exploring possible DCM-associated genes and their latent regulatory effects in female and male patients. WGCNA analysis found that in the yellow module, 341 and 367 key DEGs were identified in females and males, respectively. A total of 22 hub genes in females and 17 hub genes in males were identified from the PPI networks of the key DEGs based on Metascape database. And twelve and eight potential TFs of the key DEGs were also identified in females and males, respectively. Eight miRNAs of 15 key DEGs were screened in both females and males, which may be differentially expressed in females and males. Dual-luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that miR-21-5P could directly target the key gene MATN2. Furthermore, Sex differences in KEGG pathways were identified. Both KOBAS and GSEA analysis identified 19 significantly enriched pathways related to immune response in both females and males, and the TGF-β signaling pathway was exclusively identified in males. Network pharmacology analysis revealed that seven key DEGs were potential targets for the treatment of DCM, of which the OLR1 gene was only identified in males, the expression levels of the seven genes were verified by RT-PCR. The above results could offer a novel understanding of sex differences in key genes and pathways in DCM progression.

Abstract
A number of substances released by the brain under physiological and pathological conditions exert effects on other organs. In turn, substances produced primarily by organs such as bone marrow, adipose tissue, or the heart may have an impact on the metabolism and function and metabolism of the healthy and diseased brain. Despite a mounting amount of evidence supports such bidirectional communication between the brain and other organs, research on the function of molecular mediators carried by extracellular vesicles (EVs) is in the early stages. In addition to being able to target or reach practically any organ, EVs have the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier to transport a range of substances (lipids, peptides, proteins, and nucleic acids) to recipient cells, exerting biological effects. Here, we review the function of EVs in bidirectional communication between the brain and other organs. In a small number of cases, the role has been explicitly proven; yet, in most cases, it relies on indirect evidence from EVs in cell culture or animal models. There is a dearth of research currently available on the function of EVs-carrying mediators in the bidirectional communication between the brain and bone marrow, adipose tissue, liver, heart, lungs, and gut. Therefore, more studies are needed to determine how EVs facilitate communication between the brain and other organs.

Differentially expressed immune-related genes (DIRGs), which were screened out by four machine learning algorithms-partial least squares (PLS), random forest model (RF), k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and support vector machine model (SVM) were used in the diagnosis of MI. RESULTS The six key DIRGs (PTGER2, LGR6, IL17B, IL13RA1, CCL4, and ADM) were identified by the intersection of the minimal root mean square error (RMSE) of four machine learning algorithms, which were screened out to establish the nomogram model to predict the incidence of MI by using the rms package. The nomogram model exhibited the highest predictive accuracy and better potential clinical utility. The relative distribution of 22 types of immune cells was evaluated using cell type identification, which was done by estimating relative subsets of RNA transcripts (CIBERSORT) algorithm. The distribution of four types of immune cells, such as plasma cells, T cells follicular helper, Mast cells resting, and neutrophils, was significantly upregulated in MI, while five types of immune cell dispersion, T cells CD4 naive, macrophages M1, macrophages M2, dendritic cells resting, and mast cells activated in MI patients, were significantly downregulated in MI. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that IRGs were correlated with MI, suggesting that immune cells may be potential therapeutic targets of immunotherapy in MI.

Abstract
Doxorubicin (DOX), a broad-spectrum chemotherapy drug, is widely applied to the treatment of cancer; however, DOX-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC) limits its clinical therapeutic utility. However, it is difficult to monitor and detect DIC at an early stage using conventional detection methods. Thus, sensitive, accurate, and specific methods of diagnosis and treatment are important in clinical practice. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) belong to non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) and are stable and easy to detect. Moreover, miRNAs are expected to become biomarkers and therapeutic targets for DIC; thus, there are currently many studies focusing on the role of miRNAs in DIC. In this review, we list the prominent studies on the diagnosis and treatment of miRNAs in DIC, explore the feasibility and difficulties of using miRNAs as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets, and provide recommendations for future research.

Abstract
Early and accurate diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) can significantly reduce patient mortality. A variety of miRNAs are found to dysregulate in AMI patients, but the up- or down-regulation of a specific miRNA may not be evident in the early stage, making it difficult to achieve accurate diagnosis. Here, proposing the design that DNA photonic wire (PW) with no spectral crosstalk would make an excellent template for miRNA conjoint analysis, we report the construction of a miRNA addition probe for the additive analysis of two up-regulated miRNAs (miR-133a and miR-208a) for early diagnosis of AMI in clinical serum samples. A three-dye non-crosstalk DNA PW is built to form the two-step fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) cascade system, in which three paths can blocking the FRET cascade for separate or additive analysis of the two miRNAs. K-Means clustering algorithm is further utilized to classify the output signals of the miRNA addition probe, achieving a 100% accurate diagnosis of early AMI in both the training (n = 40) and validation (n = 19) cohorts of clinical serum samples.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases are the most common causes of death worldwide. Cardiac death can occur as reaction to myocardial infarction (MI). A diagnostic challenge arises for sudden unexpected death (SUD) cases with structural abnormalities (SA) or without any structural abnormalities (without SA). Therefore, the identification of reliable biomarkers to differentiate cardiac cases from each other is necessary. In the current study, the potential of different microRNAs (miRNAs) as biomarkers in tissue and blood samples of cardiac death cases was analyzed. Blood and tissue samples of 24 MI, 21 SUD and 5 control (C) cases were collected during autopsy. Testing for significance and receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC) were performed. The results show that miR-1, miR-133a and miR-26a possess a high diagnostic power to discriminate between different cardiac death causes in whole blood and in tissue.

Abstract
AIMS Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the major cardiovascular complications of diabetes. However, the mechanism of DCM is not fully understood. Studies have confirmed that certain microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) are key regulators of DCM. The aim of this study was to investigate the role and mechanism of microRNA (miR)-494 in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and autophagy induced by high glucose (HG). METHODS AND RESULTS By establishing a rat DCM model and an HG-treated H9c2 cells injury model, cardiac function was detected by echocardiography, myocardial tissue was stained by immunohistochemistry, and Cell Counting Kit-8 assay and lactate dehydrogenase assay were used to detect the cardiomyocyte injury. Cell apoptosis was detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labelling staining, and western blotting was used to detect death and autophagy. The results showed that the expression level of miR-494 was higher in the myocardial tissue of DCM rats and the myocardial cells of H9c2 treated with HG. Compared with the corresponding negative control groups, miR-494 mimics enhanced HG-induced apoptosis and autophagy, whereas miR-494 inhibitors showed the opposite effect, corresponding PI3K, AKT, and mTOR phosphorylation level has changed. CONCLUSIONS These findings identify that miR-494 could regulate cell apoptosis and autophagy through PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway, participating in the regulation of cardiomyocyte cell damage after HG. These findings provide new insights for the further study of the molecular mechanism and treatment of DCM.

Abstract
Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) encompass a family of ubiquitous RNA molecules that lack protein-coding potential and have tissue-specific expression. A significant body of evidence indicates that ncRNA's aberrant expression plays a critical role in disease onset and development. NcRNAs' biochemical characteristics such as disease-associated concentration changes, structural stability, and high abundance in body fluids make them promising prognostic and diagnostic biomarkers. Myocardial infarction (MI) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the term in use to describe MI's early phase, is generally diagnosed by physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and the presence of specific biomarkers. In this regard, compared to standard MI biomarkers, such as the cardiac troponin isoforms (cTnT & cTnI) and the Creatinine Kinase (CK), ncRNAs appears to provide better sensitivity and specificity, ensuring a rapid and correct diagnosis, an earlier treatment, and consequently a good prognosis for the patients. This review aims to summarize and discuss the most promising and recent data on the potential clinical use of circulating ncRNAs as MI biomarkers. Specifically, we focused primarily on miRNAs and lncRNAs, highlighting their significant specificity and sensitivity, discussing their limitations, and suggesting possible overcoming approaches.

Abstract
Propionic acidemia (PA) disorder shows major involvement of the heart, among other alterations. A significant number of PA patients develop cardiac complications, and available evidence suggests that this cardiac dysfunction is driven mainly by the accumulation of toxic metabolites. To contribute to the elucidation of the mechanistic basis underlying this dysfunction, we have successfully generated cardiomyocytes through the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a PCCB patient and its isogenic control. In this human cellular model, we aimed to examine microRNAs (miRNAs) profiles and analyze several cellular pathways to determine miRNAs activity patterns associated with PA cardiac phenotypes. We have identified a series of upregulated cardiac-enriched miRNAs and alterations in some of their regulated signaling pathways, including an increase in the expression of cardiac damage markers and cardiac channels, an increase in oxidative stress, a decrease in mitochondrial respiration and autophagy; and lipid accumulation. Our findings indicate that miRNA activity patterns from PA iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes are biologically informative and advance the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of this rare disease, providing a basis for identifying new therapeutic targets for intervention strategies.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), as a kind of pluripotent stem cells, have attracted much attention in orthopedic diseases, geriatric diseases, metabolic diseases, and sports functions due to their osteogenic potential, chondrogenic differentiation ability, and adipocyte differentiation. Anti-inflammation, anti-fibrosis, angiogenesis promotion, neurogenesis, immune regulation, and secreted growth factors, proteases, hormones, cytokines, and chemokines of MSCs have been widely studied in liver and kidney diseases, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In recent years, many studies have shown that the extracellular vesicles of MSCs have similar functions to MSCs transplantation in all the above aspects. Here we review the research progress of MSCs and their exocrine vesicles in recent years.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Myocardial infarction is a fatal disease that causes millions of deaths worldwide every year. The damage and recovery of cardiomyocytes are closely related to changes in gene expression. miRNA may be a new therapeutic target of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. METHODS The differential expression genes were analyzed based on GSE83500, GSE60993 and GSE154733. miRNA expression profile data and clinical data were downloaded from GSE76591. Bioinformatics analysis including limma package, cluster analysis, WGCNA analysis were performed. H9c2 cell hypoxia model and mouse myocardial ischemia model were established. Q-PCR, Western blot and luciferase assay were carried out. RESULTS miR-1322 was identified as a significantly differentially expressed miRNA in myocardial ischemi. Yin Yang 1(YY1) was significantly highly expressed in cells with hypoxia treatment (P < 0.05), and myocardial ischemia mice (P < 0.01), which was identified as the transcription factor of miR-1322. The protein expression of LRP8 was lower in cells with hypoxia treatment and myocardial ischemia mice (P < 0.05) and LRP8 was the target gene of miR-1322. The overexpression of LRP8 could significantly increase the expression of p-PI3K, p-AKT, and P70 S6K (P < 0.05). LRP8 regulated PI3K/AKT/P70 S6K signaling pathway, eventually resulting in cell apoptosis. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that miR-1322 can protect against the myocardial ischemia via LRP8/PI3K/AKT pathway.

Abstract
The advent of methods for efficient generation and cardiac differentiation of pluripotent stem cells opened new avenues for disease modelling, drug testing, and cell therapies of the heart. However, cardiomyocytes (CM) obtained from such cells demonstrate an immature, foetal-like phenotype that involves spontaneous contractions, irregular morphology, expression of embryonic isoforms of sarcomere components, and low level of ion channels. These and other features may affect cellular response to putative therapeutic compounds and the efficient integration into the host myocardium after in vivo delivery. Therefore, novel strategies to increase the maturity of pluripotent stem cell-derived CM are of utmost importance. Several approaches have already been developed relying on molecular changes that occur during foetal and postnatal maturation of the heart, its electromechanical activity, and the cellular composition. As a better understanding of these determinants may facilitate the generation of efficient protocols for in vitro acquisition of an adult-like phenotype by immature CM, this review summarizes the most important molecular factors that govern CM during embryonic development, postnatal changes that trigger heart maturation, as well as protocols that are currently used to generate mature pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that act as negative regulators of gene expression at the post-transcriptional level, promoting mRNA degradation or translation repression. Despite the well-described presence of miRNAs in various human tissues, there is still a lack of information about the relationship between miRNAs and the translation regulation in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) during cardiomyogenesis. Here, we investigate RNA-seq data from hESCs, focusing on distinct stages of cardiomyogenesis and searching for polysome-bound miRNAs that could be involved in translational regulation. We identify miR-6087 as a differentially expressed miRNA at latest steps of cardiomyocyte differentiation. We analyzed the coexpression pattern between the differentially expressed mRNAs and miR-6087, evaluating whether they are predicted targets of the miRNA. We arranged the genes into an interaction network and identified BLM, RFC4, RFC3, and CCNA2 as key genes of the network. A post hoc analysis of the key genes suggests that miR-6087 could act as a regulator of the cell cycle in hESC during cardiomyogenesis.

Abstract
Since their discovery in 1993, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of many crucial cellular processes, and their dysregulation have been shown to contribute to multiple pathologic conditions, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). miRNAs have been found to regulate the expression of various genes involved in cardiac development and function and in the development and progression of CVD. Many miRNAs are master regulators fine-tuning the expression of multiple, often interrelated, genes involved in inflammation, apoptosis, fibrosis, senescence, and other processes crucial for the development of different forms of CVD. This article presents a review of recent developments in our understanding of the role of miRNAs in the development of CVD and surveys their potential applicability as therapeutic targets and biomarkers to facilitate CVD diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. There are currently multiple potential miRNA-based therapeutic agents in different stages of development, which can be grouped into two classes: miRNA mimics (replicating the sequence and activity of their corresponding miRNAs) and antagomiRs (antisense inhibitors of specific miRNAs). However, in spite of promising preliminary data and our ever-increasing knowledge about the mechanisms of action of specific miRNAs, miRNA-based therapeutics and biomarkers have yet to be approved for clinical applications. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: Over the last few years microRNAs have emerged as crucial, specific regulators of the cardiovascular system and in the development of cardiovascular disease, by posttranscriptional regulation of their target genes. The minireview presents the most recent developments in this area of research, including the progress in diagnostic and therapeutic applications of microRNAs. microRNAs seem very promising candidates for biomarkers and therapeutic agents, although some challenges, such as efficient delivery and unwanted effects, need to be resolved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are noncoding RNAs involved in post-transcriptional genetic regulation with a proposed role in intercellular communication. miRNAs are considered promising biomarkers in ischemic heart disease. Invasive physiological evaluation allows a precise assessment of each affected coronary compartment. Although some studies have associated the expression of circulating miRNAs with invasive physiological indexes, their global relationship with coronary compartments has not been assessed. Here, we will evaluate circulating miRNAs profiles according to the coronary pattern of the vascular compartment affectation. STUDY AND DESIGN This is an investigator-initiated, multicentre, descriptive study to be conducted at three centres in Spain (NCT05374694). The study will include one hundred consecutive patients older than 18 years with chest pain of presumed coronary cause undergoing invasive physiological evaluation, including fractional flow reserve (FFR) and index of microvascular resistance (IMR). Patients will be initially classified into four groups, according to FFR and IMR: macrovascular and microvascular affectation (FFR≤0.80 / IMR≥25), isolated macrovascular affectation (FFR≤0.80 / IMR<25), isolated microvascular affectation (FFR>0.80 / IMR ≥25) and normal coronary indexes (FFR>0.80 / IMR<25). Patients with isolated microvascular affectation or normal indexes will also undergo the acetylcholine test and may be reclassified as a fifth group in the presence of spasm. A panel of miRNAs previously associated with molecular mechanisms linked to chronic coronary syndrome will be analysed using RT-qPCR. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study will identify miRNA profiles associated with patterns of coronary affectation and will contribute to a better understanding of the mechanistic pathways of coronary pathology.

Abstract
Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a frequent complication associated with increased periprocedural mortality and morbidity after cardiac surgery. Our study aimed to identify the difference in exosomal miRNA and further explore its role in the diagnosis of POAF. First, the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were obtained by high-throughput RNA sequencing. Second, the DEMs target genes were put into gene ontology (GO) and KEGG pathway analysis. Third, real-time quantification PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to verify the DEMs. Finally, we revealed 23 DEMs in POAF patients. Furthermore, analysis of gene function revealed that DEMs may affect atrial structure through many signaling pathways. We also found that miR-122-5p was up-regulated in POAF patients, but there are no significant changes in miR-191-5p, miR-181a-5p, miR-155-5p and miR-151a-5p. Our study revealed that exosomal miRNAs exert enormous potential in evaluating the severity or prognostic of POAF.

Abstract
Heart failure is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with relevant social and economic burden on global healthcare system. Although the development of novel diagnostic tools and the advance in therapies have deeply influenced the diagnosis and treatment of this disease, improving both prognosis and life expectancy of patients, hospitalization is still high, and mortality remains considerable. MicroRNAs are small endogenous RNA molecules that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression in both physiological and pathological processes. In recent years, microRNA have arisen as attractive therapeutic targets in the treatment of a wide spectrum of pathologies, including heart failure. In cardiac pathology, deregulation of microRNAs expression and function is associated to adverse outcome and heart failure progression. Circulating levels of specific microRNAs have emerged as useful biomarkers for the diagnosis of heart failure or as prognostic indicators. In the present review, we summarize the state of current research on the role of miRNAs as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis in patients with heart failure and their use as potential therapeutic targets for this condition.

Abstract
Previous studies have found microRNA-1 (miR-1) and hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 2 (HCN2) may be involved in the pathogenesis of thyroid hormone (TH) induced cardiac hypertrophy. However, little is known about the role of miR-1 and HCN2 in thyroid stimulation hormone (TSH)-induced cardiac dysfunction. In order to investigate the molecular mechanisms of TSH induced cardiac dysfunction and the role of miR-1/HCN2 in that process, we evaluated the expression of miR-1a/HCN2 in the ventricular myocardium of hypothyroid mice and in TSH-stimulated H9c2 cardiomyocytes. Our data revealed that hypothyroidism mice had smaller hearts, ventricular muscle atrophy, and cardiac contractile dysfunction compared with euthyroid controls. The upregulation of miR-1a and downregulation of HCN2 were found in ventricular myocardium of hypothyroid mice and TSH-stimulated H9c2 cardiomyocytes, indicating that miR-1a and HCN2 may be involved in TSH-induced cardiac dysfunction. We also found that the regulation of miR-1a and HCN2 expression and HCN2 channel activity by TSH requires TSHR, while the regulation of HCN2 expression and HCN2 channel function by TSH requires miR-1a. Thus, our data revealed the potential mechanism of TSH-induced cardiac dysfunction and might shed new light on the pathological role of miR-1a/HCN2 in hypothyroid heart disease.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the function and its possible mechanisms of long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) model. Patients with AMI and normal volunteers were selected from our hospital. Sprague-Dawley rats were induced into in vivo model of AMI. H9c2 cells were treated with H2 O2 to generate injury model. A significantly lower serum gene expression of lncRNA CASC2 was detected. In rat models of AMI, lncRNA CASC2 gene expressions in heart tissue of mice with AMI were decreased. In in vitro model, downregulation of lncRNA CASC2 increased reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress; lncRNA CASC2 induced NADPH oxidase (NOX-2) expression and suppressed miR-18a expression; MiR-18a promoted ROS-induced oxidative stress; downregulation of miR-18a decreased ROS-induced oxidative stress. The inhibition of miR-18a reversed the effects of CASC2 downregulation on ROS-induced oxidative stress in in vitro model of AMI. The activation of miR-18a reversed the effects of CASC2 on ROS-induced oxidative stress in in vitro model of AMI. These data for the first time suggest that lncRNA CASC2 have better protective effects on AMI, which could reduce oxidative stress through their carried miR-18a and subsequently downregulating the SIRT2/ROS pathway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic heart failure (CHF) is associated with redox imbalance. Downregulation of Nrf2 (nuclear factor [erythroid-derived 2]-like 2) plays important roles in disrupting myocardial redox homeostasis and mediating sympathetic nerve activity in the setting of CHF. However, it is unclear if circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) elicit sympathetic excitation in CHF by disrupting central redox homeostasis. We tested the hypothesis that cardiac-derived EVs circulate to the presympathetic rostral ventrolateral medulla and contribute to oxidative stress and sympathetic excitation via EV-enriched microRNA-mediated Nrf2 downregulation. METHODS Data were collected on rats with CHF post-myocardial infarction (MI) and on human subjects with ischemic CHF. EVs were isolated from tissue and plasma, and we determined the miRNAs cargo that related to targeting Nrf2 translation. We tracked the distribution of cardiac-derived EVs using in vitro labeled circulating EVs and cardiac-specific membrane GFP+ transgenic mice. Finally, we tested the impact of exogenously loading of antagomirs to specific Nrf2-related miRNAs on CHF-EV-induced pathophysiological phenotypes in normal rats (eg, sympathetic and cardiac function). RESULTS Nrf2 downregulation in CHF rats was associated with an upregulation of Nrf2-targeting miRNAs, which were abundant in cardiac-derived and circulating EVs from rats and humans. EVs isolated from the brain of CHF rats were also enriched with Nrf2-targeting miRNAs and cardiac-specific miRNAs. Cardiac-derived EVs were taken up by neurons in the rostral ventrolateral medulla. The administration of cardiac-derived and circulating EVs from CHF rats into the rostral ventrolateral medulla of normal rats evoked an increase in renal sympathetic nerve activity and plasma norepinephrine compared with Sham-operated rats, which were attenuated by exogenously preloading CHF-EVs with antagomirs to Nrf2-targeting miRNAs. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac microRNA-enriched EVs from animals with CHF can mediate crosstalk between the heart and the brain in the regulation of sympathetic outflow by targeting the Nrf2/antioxidant signaling pathway. This new endocrine signaling pathway regulating sympathetic outflow in CHF may be exploited for novel therapeutics.

Abstract
Myocardial fibrosis, resulting from the disturbance of extracellular matrix homeostasis in response to different insults, is a common and important pathological remodeling process that is associated with adverse clinical outcomes, including arrhythmia, heart failure, or even sudden cardiac death. Over the past decades, multiple non-invasive detection methods have been developed. Laboratory biomarkers can aid in both detection and risk stratification by reflecting cellular and even molecular changes in fibrotic processes, yet more evidence that validates their detection accuracy is still warranted. Different non-invasive imaging techniques have been demonstrated to not only detect myocardial fibrosis but also provide information on prognosis and management. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered as the gold standard imaging technique to non-invasively identify and quantify myocardial fibrosis with its natural ability for tissue characterization. This review summarizes the current understanding of the non-invasive detection methods of myocardial fibrosis, with the focus on different techniques and clinical applications of CMR.

Abstract
Molecular and sequencing technologies have been successfully used in decoding biological mechanisms of various diseases. As revealed by many novel discoveries, the role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in understanding disease mechanisms is becoming increasingly important. Since ncRNAs primarily act as regulators of transcription, associating ncRNAs with diseases involves multiple inference steps. Leveraging the fast-accumulating high-throughput screening results, a number of computational models predicting ncRNA-disease associations have been developed. These tools suggest novel disease-related biomarkers or therapeutic targetable ncRNAs, contributing to the realization of precision medicine. In this survey, we first introduce the biological roles of different ncRNAs and summarize the databases containing ncRNA-disease associations. Then, we suggest a new trend in recent computational prediction of ncRNA-disease association, which is the mode of action (MoA) network perspective. This perspective includes integrating ncRNAs with mRNA, pathway and phenotype information. In the next section, we describe computational methodologies widely used in this research domain. Existing computational studies are then summarized in terms of their coverage of the MoA network. Lastly, we discuss the potential applications and future roles of the MoA network in terms of integrating biological mechanisms for ncRNA-disease associations.

Abstract
Gap junctions and their expression pattern are essential to robust function of intercellular communication and electrical propagation in cardiomyocytes. In healthy myocytes, the main cardiac gap junction protein connexin-43 (Cx43) is located at the intercalated disc providing a clear direction of signal spreading across the cardiac tissue. Dislocation of Cx43 to lateral membranes has been detected in numerous cardiac diseases leading to slowed conduction and high propensity for the development of arrhythmias. At the cellular level, arrhythmogenic diseases are associated with elevated levels of oxidative distress and gap junction remodeling affecting especially the amount and sarcolemmal distribution of Cx43 expression. So far, a mechanistic link between sustained oxidative distress and altered Cx43 expression has not yet been identified. Here, we propose a novel cell model based on murine induced-pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes to investigate subcellular signaling pathways linking cardiomyocyte distress with gap junction remodeling. We tested the new hypothesis that chronic distress, induced by rapid pacing, leads to increased reactive oxygen species, which promotes expression of a micro-RNA, miR-1, specific for the control of Cx43. Our data demonstrate that Cx43 expression is highly sensitive to oxidative distress, leading to reduced expression. This effect can be efficiently prevented by the glutathione peroxidase mimetic ebselen. Moreover, Cx43 expression is tightly regulated by miR-1, which is activated by tachypacing-induced oxidative distress. In light of the high arrhythmogenic potential of altered Cx43 expression, we propose miR-1 as a novel target for pharmacological interventions to prevent the maladaptive remodeling processes during chronic distress in the heart.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases lead the mortality and morbidity disease metrics worldwide. A multitude of chemical base modifications in ribonucleic acids (RNAs) have been linked with key events of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic disorders. Named either RNA epigenetics or epitranscriptomics, the post-transcriptional RNA modifications, their regulatory pathways, components, and downstream effects substantially contribute to the ways our genetic code is interpreted. Here we review the accumulated discoveries to date regarding the roles of the two most common epitranscriptomic modifications, N6-methyl-adenosine (m6A) and adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) editing, in cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is a multi-factorial physiological process deregulated in human diseases characterised by excessive or insufficient blood vessel formation. Emerging evidence highlights a novel role for microRNAs as regulators of angiogenesis. Previous studies addressing the effect of miR-133a expression in endothelial cells during blood vessel formation have reported conflicting results. Here, we have assessed the specific effect of mature miR-133a strands in angiogenesis and the expression of endothelial angiogenic genes. Transfection of miR-133a-3p or -5p mimics in primary human endothelial cells significantly inhibited proliferation, migration, and tubular morphogenesis of transfected cells. Screening of gene arrays related to angiogenic processes, and further validation by TaqMan qPCR, revealed that aberrant expression of miR-133a-3p led to a decrease in the expression of genes encoding pro-angiogenic molecules, whilst increasing those with anti-angiogenic functions. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis of a collection of genes differentially expressed in cells harbouring miR-133a-3p, predicted decreased cellular functions related to vasculature branching and cell cycle progression, underlining the inhibitory role of miR-133a-3p in angiogenic cellular processes. Our results suggest that controlled delivery of miR-133a-3p mimics, or antagomirs in diseased endothelial cells, might open new therapeutic interventions to treat patients suffering from cardiovascular pathologies that occur with excessive or insufficient angiogenesis.

Abstract
Diabetes leads to cardiomyopathy and heart failure, the leading cause of death for diabetic patients. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibition in diabetic cardiomyopathy prevents oxidative stress, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum stress and the development of diastolic dysfunction. However, it is unclear whether, in addition to the direct effects exerted on the mitochondria, MAO activity is able to post-transcriptionally regulate cardiomyocyte function and survival in diabetes. To this aim, we performed gene and miRNA expression profiling in cardiac tissue from streptozotocin-treated mice (model of type 1 diabetes (T1D)), administered with either vehicle or MAOs inhibitor pargyline for 12 weeks. We found that inhibition of MAO activity in T1D hearts leads to profound transcriptomic changes, affecting autophagy and pro-survival pathways activation. MAO activity in T1D hearts increased miR-133a-3p, -193a-3p and -27a-3p expression. These miRNAs target insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (Igf1r), growth factor receptor bound protein 10 and inositol polyphosphate 4 phosphatase type 1A, respectively, all components of the IGF1R/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Indeed, AKT activation was significantly downregulated in T1D hearts, whereas MAO inhibition restored the activation of this pro-survival pathway. The present study provides an important link between MAO activity, transcriptomic changes and activation of pro-survival signaling and autophagy in diabetic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
ABSTRACT The various roles of muscle secretory factors and myokines have been well studied, but in recent decades, the role of myocyte-specific microRNAs (myomiRs) has gained momentum. These myomiRs are known to play regulatory roles in muscle health in general, both skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. In this review, we have focused on the significance of a myomiR termed miR-133a in cardiovascular health. The available literature supports the claim that miR-133a could be helpful in the healing process of muscle tissue after injury. The protective function could be due to its regulatory effect on muscle or stem cell mitochondrial function. In this review, we have shed light on the protective mechanisms offered by miR-133a. Most of the beneficial effects are due to the presence of miR-133a in circulation or tissue-specific expression. We have also reviewed the potential mechanisms by which miR-133a could interact with cell surface receptors and also transcriptional mechanisms by which they offer cardioprotection and regeneration. Understanding these mechanisms will help in finding an ideal strategy to repair cardiac tissue after injury.

Abstract
Exosomal microRNAs (EXO-miRNAs) are promising non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers for cardiovascular disease. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a poorly understood cardiovascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Little is known about whether EXO-miRNAs can be used as biomarkers for HFpEF in DM. We aimed to investigate the relationship between EXO-miRNAs and HFpEF in STZ-induced diabetic rats. We prepared STZ-induced diabetic rats exhibiting a type 1 DM phenotype with low body weight, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia and hypoinsulinemia. Histological sections confirmed atrophy and fibrosis of the heart, with collagen accumulation representing diabetic cardiomyopathy. Significant decreases in end-diastolic volume, stroke volume, stroke work, end-systolic elastance and cardiac output indicated impaired cardiac contractility, as well as mRNA conversion of two isoforms of myosin heavy chain (α-MHC and β-MHC) and increased atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) mRNA indicating heart failure, were consistent with the features of HFpEF. In diabetic HFpEF rats, we examined a selected panel of 12 circulating miRNAs associated with HF (miR-1-3p, miR-21-5p, miR-29a-5p, miR-30d-5p, miR-34a-5p, miR-126a-5p, miR-143-3p, miR-145-5p, miR-195-5p, miR-206-3p, miR-320-3p and miR-378-3p). Although they were all expressed at significantly lower levels in the heart compared to non-diabetic controls, only six miRNAs (miR-21-5p, miR-30d-5p, miR-126a-5p, miR-206-3p, miR-320-3p and miR-378-3p) were also reduced in exosomal content, while one miRNA (miR-34a-5p) was upregulated. Similarly, although all miRNAs were correlated with reduced cardiac output as a measure of cardiovascular performance, only three miRNAs (miR-30d-5p, miR-126a-5p and miR-378-3p) were correlated in exosomal content. We found that miR-30d-5p and miR-126a-5p remained consistently correlated with significant reductions in exosomal expression, cardiac expression and cardiac output. Our findings support their release from the heart and association with diabetic HFpEF. We propose that these two EXO-miRNAs may be important for the development of diagnostic tools for diabetic HFpEF.

Abstract
Current biomarkers for myocardial infarction (MI) diagnosis are typically late markers released upon cell death, incapable of distinguishing between ischemic and reperfusion injury and can be symptoms of other pathologies. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have recently been proposed as alternative biomarkers for MI diagnosis; however, detecting the changes in the human cardiac miRNA profile during MI is extremely difficult. Here, to study the changes in miRNA levels during acute MI, a heart-on-chip model with a cardiac channel, containing human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived cardiomyocytes in human heart decellularized matrix and collagen, and a vascular channel, containing hiPSC-derived endothelial cells, is developed. This model is exposed to anoxia followed by normoxia to mimic ischemia and reperfusion, respectively. Using a highly sensitive miRNA biosensor that the authors developed, the exact same increase in miR-1, miR-208b, and miR-499 levels in the MI-on-chip and the time-matched human blood plasma samples collected before and after ischemia and reperfusion, is shown. That the surface marker profile of exosomes in the engineered model changes in response to ischemic and reperfusion injury, which can be used as biomarkers to detect MI, is also shown. Hence, the MI-on-chip model developed here can be used in biomarker discovery.

Abstract
Cardiac hypertrophy (CH) is a pathological phenotype of cardiomyopathy. Epigenetic modification is a mechanism associated with CH. Our study here investigated the histone demethylase KDM3C in relation to epigenetic regulation in CH. We found that KDM3C mRNA silencing alleviated CH, as evidenced by reduced ANP, BNP, and β-MHC mRNAs, increased α-MHC mRNA, decreased cell surface area, and reduced cellular protein/DNA ratios. Specifically, KDM3C upregulated miR-200c-3p expression through demethylation of H3K9me2, leading to enhanced binding of miR-200c-3p to GAS5 and suppression of GAS5 expression; these effects then led to reduced binding of GAS5 to miR-495-3p, increased miR-495-3p expression, and repression of PHF8 transcription. Through these mechanisms, our data indicate that KDM3C-dependent epigenetic modification promotes CH.

Abstract
Background Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are considered a hot spot of research that can be employed for monitoring and/or diagnostic purposes in coronary artery disease (CAD). Since different disease features might be reflected on altered profiles or plasma miRNAs concentrations, a combination of miRNAs can provide more reliable non-invasive biomarkers for CAD. Subjects and methods We investigated a panel of 14-miRNAs selected using bioinformatics databases and current literature searching for miRNAs involved in CAD using quantitative real-time PCR technique in 73 CAD patients compared to 73 controls followed by function and pathway enrichment analysis for the 14-miRNAs. Results Our results revealed three out of the 14 circulating miRNAs understudy; miRNAs miR133a, miR155 and miR208a were downregulated. While 11 miRNAs were up-regulated in a descending order from highest fold change to lowest: miR-182, miR-145, miR-21, miR-126, miR-200b, miR-146A, miR-205, miR-135b, miR-196b, miR-140b and, miR-223. The ROC curve analysis indicated that miR-145, miR-182, miR-133a and, miR-205 were excellent biomarkers with the highest AUCs as biomarkers in CAD. All miRNAs under study except miR-208 revealed a statistically significant relation with dyslipidemia. MiR-126 and miR-155 showed significance with BMI grade, while only miR-133a showed significance with the obese patients in general. MiR-135b and miR-140b showed a significant correlation with the Wall Motion Severity Index. Pathway enrichment analysis for the miRNAS understudy revealed pathways relevant to the fatty acid biosynthesis, ECM-receptor interaction, proteoglycans in cancer, and adherens junction. Conclusion The results of this study identified a differentially expressed circulating miRNAs signature that can discriminate CAD patients from normal subjects. These results provide new insights into the significant role of miRNAs expression associated with CAD pathogenesis.

Abstract
Disorders of lipoprotein metabolism are among the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been associated with the individual variability in blood lipid profile and response to lipid-lowering treatments. Here, we genotyped 34 selected SNPs located in coding genes related to lipid metabolism, inflammation, coagulation, and a polymorphism in the MIR499 gene—a microRNA previously linked to CVD—to evaluate the association with lipid trait in subjects with moderate dyslipidemia not on lipid-lowering treatment (Treatment-naïve (TN) cohort, n = 125) and in patients treated with statins (STAT cohort, n = 302). We also explored the association between SNPs and the effect of a novel phytochemical lipid-lowering treatment in the TN cohort. We found that 6 SNPs (in the MIR499, TNFA, CETP, SOD2, and VEGFA genes) were associated with lipid traits in the TN cohort, while no association was found with the response to twelve-week phytochemical treatment. In the STAT cohort, nine SNPs (in the MIR499, CETP, CYP2C9, IL6, ABCC2, PON1, IL10, and VEGFA genes) were associated with lipid traits, three of which were in common with the TN cohort. Interestingly, in both cohorts, the presence of the rs3746444 MIR499 SNP was associated with a more favorable blood lipid profile. Our findings could add information to better understand the individual genetic variability in maintaining a low atherogenic lipid profile and the response to different lipid-lowering therapies.

Abstract
Background: Coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) disease is common and its specific characteristic is collateral formation. The Integrated analysis of angiogenesis related lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network remains unclear and might provide target for future studies. Methods: A total of five coronary artery disease (control group) and five CTO (CTO group) patients were selected for deep RNA and miRNA sequencing. The expression profiles of lncRNAs, mRNAs circRNA and miRNAs were obtained. Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were then performed. The expression of a 14q32 miRNA gene cluster, including miRNA-494, miRNA-495 and miRNA-329, were selected to be determined in another larger patient cohort. Analysis of the lncRNA-miRNA495-mRNA network was constructed to find potential targets for future studies. Results: A total of 871 lncRNAs, 1,080 mRNAs, 138 circRNAs and 56 miRNAs were determined as differentially expressed (DE) in CTO patients compared with control patients. GO and KEGG analyses revealed that the top terms included MAPK signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance, embryonic organ development, wound healing, MAPK signaling pathway and JAK-STAT signaling pathway, which are related to angiogenesis. The expression of miRNA-494, miRNA-495 and miRNA-329 were all significantly down-regulated in CTO patients and they were confirmed to be down-regulated in another cohort of 68 patients. Then we divided the CTO patients into two groups according to CC grade (poor CC group, CC = 0 or one; good CC group, CC = 2). MiRNA-494, miRNA-495 and miRNA-329 were found to be down-regulated in good CC group compared with poor CC group. Analysis of the lncRNA-miRNA495-mRNA network showed 3 DE lncRNA sponges (NONHSAG008675, NONHSAG020957 and NONHSAG010989), 4 DE lncRNA targets (NONHSAT079547.2, NONHSAT081776.2, NONHSAT148555.1 and NONHSAT150928.1) and 2 DE mRNA targets (RAD54L2 and ZC3H4) of miRNA495. Conclusion: This study revealed that the lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA network might play a critical role in angiogenesis in CTO patients.
