ABSTRACT: Introduction
Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) require dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). However, the response to treatment can vary considerably. Certain platelet microRNAs (miRs) are suspected to predict DAPT response and influence platelet function. This study aimed to analyze selected miRs' expressions and compare them among patients treated with different P2Y12 inhibitors while assessing their association with platelet activity and turnover parameters.Materials and methods
We recruited 79 ACS patients post-PCI treated with clopidogrel, ticagrelor, or prasugrel, along with 18 healthy volunteers. Expression levels of miR-126-3p, miR223-3p, miR-21-5p, miR-197-3p, and miR-24-3p, as well as immature platelet fraction (IPF) and ADP-induced platelet reactivity, were measured and compared between groups.Results
Analyses revealed significantly lower expressions of miR-126-3p, miR-223-3p, miR-21-5p, and miR-197-3p in patients treated with ticagrelor, compared to clopidogrel (fold changes from -1.43 to -1.27, p-values from 0.028 to 0.048). Positive correlations were observed between platelet function and the expressions of miR-223-3p (r = 0.400, p = 0.019) and miR-21-5p (r = 0.423, p = 0.013) in patients treated with potent drugs. Additionally, miR-24-3p (r = 0.411, p = 0.012) and miR-197-3p (r = 0.333, p = 0.044) showed correlations with IPF.Conclusions
The identified platelet miRs hold potential as biomarkers for antiplatelet therapy. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT06177587).
