MicroRNA-582-3p is downregulated in lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT) and acts as a protective factor. This microRNA targets TFRC, offering potential as a diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target for LEDVT.
Area of Science:
- Molecular Biology
- Biochemistry
- Vascular Biology
Background:
- MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial in regulating gene expression and have been implicated in various diseases, including deep vein thrombosis.
- The specific role and mechanism of miR-582-3p in lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (LEDVT) remain largely unexplored.
- Understanding miRNA involvement is key to developing novel diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for LEDVT.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the expression levels of miR-582-3p in patients with LEDVT and in a human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) model.
- To elucidate the regulatory function and molecular mechanism of miR-582-3p in LEDVT pathogenesis.
- To assess the diagnostic potential and protective role of miR-582-3p in LEDVT.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to measure miR-582-3p and TFRC expression.
- Construction of an ox-LDL-induced HUVEC injury model to mimic LEDVT conditions.
- Cellular assays (CCK8, flow cytometry, ELISA) to evaluate cell proliferation, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses.
- Dual-luciferase reporter assays and rescue experiments to confirm the targeting relationship between miR-582-3p and TFRC.
Main Results:
- MiR-582-3p was significantly downregulated in LEDVT patients' serum and ox-LDL-treated HUVECs, correlating negatively with D-dimer and TAT III levels.
- MiR-582-3p demonstrated a high diagnostic value (AUC=0.870) and acted as an independent protective factor against LEDVT.
- Overexpression of miR-582-3p promoted HUVEC proliferation, inhibited apoptosis, reduced inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6), and modulated coagulation factors.
- MiR-582-3p directly targeted TFRC, and TFRC overexpression counteracted the protective effects of miR-582-3p in ox-LDL-induced HUVEC damage.
Conclusions:
- MiR-582-3p is a potential diagnostic biomarker and an independent protective factor for LEDVT.
- MiR-582-3p regulates endothelial cell function and inflammatory responses by targeting TFRC.
- MiR-582-3p represents a promising therapeutic target for managing LEDVT.
