Introduction Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the major cause of death throughout the world.1 As reported by GBD 2017 Causes of Death Collaborators, the estimated years of life lost (YLLs) increased for CAD (ranked first in 2017).2 During the past decade, a marked rising trend of atherosclerosis-related burden (especially for CAD) in Eastern Asia was observed.3 Although endothelial dysfunction contributes essentially to the atherosclerosis, the molecular pathways underlying disease occurrence are not fully understood. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases through the posttranscriptional control of gene networks.4,5 Among them, miR-217 was reported to aggravate atherosclerosis and promote cardiovascular dysfunction through downregulating a network of endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) activators, including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).6 VEGF, a signal protein stimulating the formation of blood vessels, acted as a potential biomarker to predict the occurrence of CAD, and increased VEGF level was associated with poor coronary collateralization in patients with stable CAD.7 Besides, inhibition of miR-217 could protect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury through inactivating NF-kappaB and MAPK pathways by targeting DUSP14.8 These findings highlighted a potential role of miR-217 in pathogenesis of CAD.

As with most cardiovascular diseases, a heart attack occurs when one or more of the coronary arteries becomes blocked. An impending heart attack will often be signalled by a sensation of tightness or squeezing in the centre of the chest. While one of the most significant risk factors for the condition is being overweight, growing research is pointing to bacteria as a potential culprit Continue reading →
