More Details: BackgroundAcute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is a kind of cardiovascular disease with high mortality and incidence. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and microRNA-126 (miR-126) are known to play important role in the development and prognosis of several cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the changes in Extracellular vesicle (EV)-associated miR-126 levels in the coronary blood of patients with AMI to explore the relationship between miR-126 levels and AMI.Materials and methodsWe analyzed EV-associated miR-126 in the coronary blood of patients with AMI and stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).ResultsWe tested the coronary blood of 20 patients with AMI and 20 with SCAD. The mean age of the patients was 58.8 ± 10.3 years and 32 (80%) were men. We observed that the EV-associated miR-126 levels were lower in patients with AMI [median = 0.13; interquartile range (IQR): 0.08–0.22] than in patients with SCAD (median = 0.37; IQR: 0.26–0.48) (P < 0.001). In addition, the levels of miR-126 were negatively associated with the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score (r = −0.66, P = 0.001).ConclusionReduction of EV-associated miR-126 levels in the coronary blood of patients with AMI may be involved in acute coronary thrombosis events.
