miR-204 is a high-value microRNA that plays a critical role in regulating cardiovascular and renal physiology, exhibiting tissue-specific expression patterns and being influenced by multiple regulatory mechanisms. It attenuates pulmonary arterial hypertension and renal injury while promoting hypertension and endothelial dysfunction, potentially impacting disease processes through targeting various biological pathways. Dysregulation of miR-204 in cardiovascular and renal diseases highlights its unequivocal functional roles and clinical relevance.
The field of microRNA research has evolved from studies aiming to gauge the importance of microRNAs to those focusing on understanding a subset of specific microRNAs that have emerged as potent regulators of molecular systems and pathophysiological conditions. In this article, we review the molecular features and regulation of miR-204 and the growing body of evidence for an important role of miR-204 in the regulation of cardiovascular and renal physiology and pathophysiological processes. miR-204 exhibits a highly tissue-specific expression pattern, and miR-204 abundance is regulated by several transcriptional and posttranscriptional mechanisms. Strong evidence supports a role for miR-204 in attenuating pulmonary arterial hypertension and hypertensive and diabetic renal injury while promoting hypertension and endothelial dysfunction in a wide range of model systems. miR-204 may influence these disease processes by targeting several biological pathways in a tissue-specific manner. miR-204 is dysregulated in patients with cardiovascular and renal diseases. The unequivocal functional roles and clear clinical relevance indicate that miR-204 is a high-value microRNA in cardiovascular and renal diseases.
