Mir-150-5p distinguishes acute pulmonary embolism, predicts the occurrence of pulmonary arterial hypertension, and regulates ox-LDL-induced endothelial cell injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

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.

Methods

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 en
