Clinical significance and regulatory mechanism of miR-134-5p in rheumatic heart disease.

ABSTRACT: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) causes irreversible valvular injury and mortality globally. Easily detectable miRNAs may provide valuable perspectives into the clinical management of RHD. This study aimed to explore the role of miR-134-5p in RHD progression. A total of 167 subjects (80 non-RHD, 87 RHD) were included in this study. The level of miR-134-5p was evaluated by qRT-PCR, and its diagnostic value was assessed by the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve. The correlation between miR-134-5p and RHD severity was evaluated by correlation analysis. The association between miR-134-5p expression and RHD prognosis was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and multivariate COX regression analysis. The regulatory relationship between miR-134-5p and lysine acetyltransferase 7 (K
