Abstract
Acute pulmonary embolism (APE) is a major type of venous thromboembolism (VTE) with a high risk of mortality and disability. There is a lack of biomarkers for APE to indicate deteriorating development and predict adverse outcomes. This study evaluated the significance of miR-150-5p in APE aiming to explore a novel potential biomarker for APE. The study enrolled APE (n = 137) and deep wein thrombosis (DVT, n = 67) patients and collected plasma samples from all study subjects. The expression of miR-150-5p was analyzed by PCR and its significance in screening APE and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) was assessed by receiver operating curve (ROC) and logistic analyses. The study established oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced human venous endothelial cells (HUVECs). Through cell transfection combined with cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), flow cytometry, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the effect of miR-150-5p on ox-LDL-induced HUVEC injury was evaluated. Significant downregulation of miR-150-5p was observed in the plasma of APE patients compared with DVT patients (P < 0.0001). The plasma miR-150-5p levels in APE patients occurred PAH was much lower than in patients without PAH (P < 0.0001). Reducing miR-150-5p distinguished APE patients from DVT patients (AUC = 0.912) and was identified as a risk factor for the occurrence of PAH in APE patients (OR = 0.385, P = 0.010). In HUVECs, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) caused inhibited cell proliferation, enhanced apoptosis, increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), and decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD). Overexpressing miR-150-5p could promote proliferation, inhibit apoptosis, and alleviate inflammation and oxidative stress of ox-LDL-treated HUVECs. Downregulated plasma miR-150-5p served as a diagnostic biomarker for APE and predicted the predisposition of PAH in APE patients. Overexpressing miR-150-5p could alleviate ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell injury in HUVECs.
