Cellular Phenotypic Transformation During Atherosclerosis: The Potential Role of miRNAs as Biomarkers

Résumé

Cellular phenotypic transformation is a key process that occurs during the development and progression of atherosclerosis. Within the arterial wall, endothelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, and macrophages undergo phenotypic changes that contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. miRNAs have emerged as potential biomarkers for cellular phenotypic changes during atherosclerosis. Monitoring miR-155-5p, miR-210-3p, and miR-126-3p or 5p levels could provide valuable insights into disease progression, risk of complications, and response to therapeutic interventions. Moreover, miR-92a-3p’s elevated levels in atherosclerotic plaques present opportunities for predicting disease progression and related complications. Baseline levels of miR-33a/b hold the potential for predicting responses to cholesterol-lowering therapies, such as statins, and the likelihood of dyslipidemia-related complications. Additionally, the assessment of miR-122-5p levels may offer insights into the efficacy of low-density-lipoprotein-lowering therapies. Understanding the specific miRNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms involved in cellular phenotypic transformations can provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and potentially identify novel therapeutic targets.
