The study showed that the expression levels of plasma miRNA-190 and miRNA-197 in patients with PTE were significantly higher than in the MI and healthy control groups, suggesting their potential as noninvasive diagnostic markers for PTE. Combining miRNA-190, miRNA-197, and D-dimer levels improved the diagnostic power for PTE.
Background Diagnosing pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) remains challenging due to the lack of specific clinical symptoms and biomarkers. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have proved to be potential biomarkers for numerous cardiovascular diseases. The aims of this study were to quantitatively analyze the expression of plasma miRNA-190 and miRNA-197 in patients with PTE and to evaluate the diagnostic value for PTE. Methods Thirty patients diagnosed with PTE by computed tomographic pulmonary angiography at the emergency department were enrolled in this study, and plasma was collected immediately. For comparison, myocardial infarction (MI, n = 45) and healthy participants (NC, n = 45) were recruited as the control groups. Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) was conducted to reveal the relative expression levels of miRNA-190 and miRNA-197 in each group. The plasma concentrations of D-dimer were measured by immunoturbidimetric assay. The diagnostic value was evaluated by analyzing the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results The relative expression levels of miRNA-190 and miRNA-197 in the PTE group were both significantly higher than in the MI group (t = 3.602t = 4.791,P < .05, respectively) and the healthy control group (t = 5.814,t = 5.886,P < .05, respectively). As diagnostic indicator, the sensitivity and specificity of miRNA-190 were 75.56% and 80%, respectively, with an AUC of 0.7844 (95%CI: 0.6858-0.8831,P < .001). The sensitivity and specificity of miRNA-197 were 73.33% and 86.67%, respectively, with an AUC value of 0.7931 (95%CI: 0.6870-0.8991,P < .001). Combining miRNA-190 and miRNA-197 with D-dimer levels significantly increased the diagnostic power, improving the AUC to 0.9536 (95% CI: 0.9083-0.9989,P < .001). Conclusions The relative expression levels of miRNA-190 and miRNA-197 in PTE patients were significantly higher than in the MI and healthy control groups, indicating that (a) both may be involved in the pathophysiological process of PTE and (b) both may serve as potential noninvasive diagnostic markers for PTE. The combination of miRNA-190, miRNA-197, and D-dimer levels showed better sensitivity and specificity, which is more conducive to the diagnosis of PTE.
