This study aimed to investigate the expression patterns and clinical value of microRNA-145 (miR-145) in ACS patients, and further uncover the function of miR-145 in ACS rats. METHODS Quantitative real-time PCR was used to estimate the expression of miR-145. Diagnostic value of miR-145 was evaluated, and its correlation with endothelial injury marker (vWF and H-FABP) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) was analyzed. Coronary artery ligation was adopted to construct the ACS rat model, and the effects of miR-145 on endothelial injury, inflammation and vascular endothelial cells (VECs) biological function were examined. RESULTS Downregulated expression of miR-145 was found in the ACS serum samples compared with the healthy controls. The expression of miR-145 was proved to be a diagnostic biomarker and negatively correlated with vWF, H-FABP, IL-6 and TNF-α. The similar serum expression trends of miR-145 in ACS patients were also observed in the ACS rats, and the overexpression of miR-145 could decrease the elevated vWF, H-FABP, IL-6 and TNF-α in the animal model. Moreover, the upregulation of miR-145 in VECs led to promoted proliferation and migration. The bioinformatics prediction data and luciferase report results indicated that FOXO1 was a direct target of miR-145. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, it was hypothesized that serum decreased expression of miR-145 may serve as a potential diagnostic biomarker in ACS patients. Overexpression of miR-145 may improve the endothelial injury and abnormal inflammation through targeting FOXO1, indicating that miR-145 serves as a candidate therapeutic target of ACS.BACKGROUND The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of miR-34a targeted at PAI-1 on urinary microalbumin and renal function in h
