MiRNAs as potential biomarkers and their clinical significance.
| MiRNA | Heart tissue | Circulating blood | Clinical significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| miR-34a-5p | Upregulated in mice | Not tested |
✧ Superior to cTnT ✧ Positively related to DOX dose |
| miR-150-5p | Downregulated in mice | Not tested | |
| miR-133a-3p/miR-133b-3p | Not tested | Upregulated in mice & patients |
✧ Possible due to skeletal muscle injury ✧ No difference between cardiotoxic and non-cardiotoxic patients |
| miR-1-3p | Not tested | Upregulated in patients downregulated in mice |
✧ Superior to cTnI ✧ Correlated with LVEF changes |
| miR-29b-3p | Downregulated in mice | Upregulated in patients | ✧ Higher in patients with acute elevated cTnT |
| miR-29c-3p | Not tested | Upregulated in patients | ✧ Initiation of anthracycline |
| miR-499-5p | Downregulated in mice | Upregulated in patients downregulated in mice |
✧ Higher in patients with acute elevated cTnT ✧ Positively correlated to decline in LVEF from initiation to completion of anthracycline |
| miR-208a-3p | Downregulated in mice | No changes in patients | |
| miR-208b-3p | Upregulated in mice | No changes in patients |
