Identification of microRNA biomarkers simultaneously expressed in circulating extracellular vesicles and atherosclerotic plaques

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The early detection of plaques by circulating biomarkers is highly clinically relevant to prevent the occurrence of major complications such as stroke or heart attacks. miRNA expression profiles of serum-derived EVs were obtained by small RNA sequencing and in plaque material simultaneously acquired from patients.

Coronary Artery Calcification: Current Concepts and Clinical Implications

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 149, Issue 3 , Page 251-266, January 16, 2024. Nevertheless, the relationship between CAC and the susceptibility of a plaque to provoke a thrombotic event remains incompletely understood. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) accompanies the development of advanced atherosclerosis.

Defective Bile Acid Signaling Promotes Vascular Dysfunction, Supporting a Role for G?Protein Bile Acid Receptor 1/Farnesoid X Receptor Agonism and Statins in the Treatment of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association

The expression of GPBAR1 in the human endothelium correlated with the expression of inflammatory biomarkers. Mice lackingFxrandGpbar1−/−/Fxr−/−display hypotension and aortic inflammation, along with altered intestinal permeability that deteriorates with age, and severe dysbiosis, along with dysregulated bile acid synthesis.

Lowering Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease Events by Treating Residual Inflammatory Risk

DAIC

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 7 Research has shown inflammation plays a significant role in the development of atherosclerosis and ASCVD,8-10 and even the formation of plaque.11 Circulation.
