Research progress of microRNA-126 in cardiovascular diseases / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Cardiovascular disease(CVD)is a major cause of human death and a serious threat to people's health.Therefore,it is very important to explore the early identification,diagnosis and effective treat-ment of CVD.The expression level of microRNA(miRNA)is related to many pathophysiological processes related to CVD,such as myocardial cell metabolism disorder,myocardial cell injury and myocardial fibrosis,which makes miRNA an important entry point for the diagnosis and treatment of CVD.MicroRNA-126(miR-126)is one of the most important biological markers in the miRNA family.It plays a role in protecting the myocardium by participating in angiogenesis,endothelial cell repair,and inhibition of inflammatory responses.This article reviewed the latest research progress on the mechanism,diagnostic significance and potential ther-apeutic value of miR-126 in the occurrence and development of various types of CVD.
