Prospective Study on Plasma MicroRNA-4286 and Incident Acute Coronary Syndrome.

ABSTRACT: Background Mounting evidence suggests that circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are critical indicators of cardiovascular disease. However, prospective studies linking circulating miRNAs to incident acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are limited, and the underlying effect of associated miRNA on incident ACS remains unknown. Methods and Results Based on a 2-stage prospective nested case-control design within the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort, we profiled plasma miRNAs from 23 pairs of incident ACS cases and controls by microarray and validated the candidate miRNAs in 572 incident ACS case-control pairs using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. We observed that plasma miR-4286 was associated with higher risk of ACS (adjusted odds ratio according to an interquartile range increase, 1.26 [95% CI,
