Abstract
Early-onset ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in individuals under 50 is an increasing concern. Identifying new biomarkers could improve early diagnosis and intervention. In this case-control study, we investigated endothelial-related long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) MANTIS, NORAD, RNCR3, and SENCR as potential diagnostic markers. Blood samples from 200 young STEMI patients and 200 age-matched controls were analyzed using real-time PCR to evaluate lncRNA expression. NORAD and MANTIS levels were significantly reduced in STEMI patients (p < 0.001). MANTIS displayed the strongest association (AUC = 0.92), while NORAD demonstrated a moderate association (AUC = 0.68). SENCR and RNCR3 showed no significant differences between groups. The downregulation of MANTIS and NORAD suggests their potential roles as biomarkers in early-onset STEMI. MANTIS, in particular, may enhance risk stratification and treatment. Further research is warranted to validate these findings in broader populations.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research (JCTR) is a premier journal in cardiovascular translational research.
JCTR is the journal of choice for authors seeking the broadest audience for emerging technologies, therapies and diagnostics, pre-clinical research, and first-in-man clinical trials.
JCTR''s intent is to provide a forum for critical evaluation of the novel cardiovascular science, to showcase important and clinically relevant aspects of the new research, as well as to discuss the impediments that may need to be overcome during the translation to patient care.
