Abstract
Corin is a type II transmembrane serine protease highly expressed in the heart. It plays a critical role in regulating fluid balance and improving cardiac function by converting pro-atrial natriuretic peptide into mature atrial natriuretic peptide. CORIN variants have been identified in patients with hypertension, heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke. In vivo and in vitro, corin deficiency increases blood pressure and impairs cardiac function. Circulating soluble corin appears to have potential as a stable and specific biomarker for the risk prediction and prognostic assessment of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and stroke. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on corin physiology and circulating corin and discuss cardiac corin expression and function in CVDs. In the future, corin-related therapeutic approaches to increase corin activity and raise corin levels may offer new opportunities to treat CVDs.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
