Abstract:Objective To study the relationship between serum microRNA-126 (miR-126), serum microRNA-328 (miR-328), and myocardial injury markers in patients with acute non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).Methods A total of 191 NSTEMI patients admitted from January 2021 to January 2022 were selected as the observation group, and 180 healthy volunteers who underwent physical examination in outpatient department during the same period were selected as the control group. The levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), cardiac troponin I (cTnI), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), miR-126, and miR-328 were compared between the two groups. Under ROC analysis, the predictive value of BNP, CK-MB, LDH, cTnI, miR-126, and miR-328 for non-STEMI was determined. Non-stemi patients were divided into low-risk group, medium-risk group, and high-risk group according to global coronary event registry (GRACE score). The correlation of BNP, CK-MB, LDH, and cTnI wirh miR-126 and miR-328 was analyzed by Person correlation coefficient.Results Compared with the control group, BNP, CK-MB, LDH, cTnI and miR-328 in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and miR-126 was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05). ROC analysis showed that BNP ≥ 1 149.684 ng/L, CK-MB ≥ 34.760 ng/mL, LDH ≥ 812.535 u/L, cTnI ≥ 3.583 μg/L, miR-126 ≤26.825, miR-328 ≥1.215 were the best cut-off values for non-STEMI. The sensitivity was 84.2% (95% CI: 0.714, 0.854), 84.7% (95% CI: 0.723, 0.921), 83.7% (95% CI: 0.741, 0.882), 67.9% (95% CI: 0.595, 0.789), 87.2% (95% CI: 0.623, 0.932), and 77.9% (95% CI: 0.745, 0.836), and specificity was 82.8% (95% CI: 0.653, 0.912), 83.9 %(95% CI: 0.675, 0.931), 83.9% (95% CI: 0.741, 0.963), 74.4% (95% CI: 0.628, 0.844), 87.9% (95% CI: 0.573, 0.917), and 82.8% (95% CI: 0.749, 0.901), respectively. There were significant differences in BNP, CK-MB, LDH, cTnI, miR-126 and miR-328 in patients with different severity of non-STEMI (P < 0.05). Compared with the low-risk and medium-risk groups, the levels of BNP, CK-MB, LDH, cTnI, and miR-328 were higher and the levels of miR-126 were lower in the high-risk group (P < 0.05). The correlation analysis showed that miR-126 was negatively correlated with BNP, CK-MB, LDH, and cTnI, while miR-328 was positively correlated with BNP, CK-MB, LDH, and cTnI (P < 0.05).Conclusion The myocardial injury markers and the levels of miR-126 and miR-328 in non-STEMI patients were significantly different from those in healthy people, and correlation analysis confirmed that miR-126 was negatively correlated with BNP, CK-MB, LDH, and cTnI, and miR-328 was positively correlated with BNP, CK-MB, LDH, and cTnI.
