Abstract Background: Plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is a newly discovered long non-coding RNA (lncRNA), and it has not been previously studied in the inflammatory responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 15 CAD patients and 15 non-CAD (NCAD) individuals. PVT1 expression in PBMCs of the participants was measured, using real-time PCR. Interleukin (IL)-10, IL-22 and MMP-9 in the plasma and supernatant of the cultured PBMCs in the presence or absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was assessed, using flowcytometry and ELISA.Results: An increased expression of PVT1 was observed in untreated PBMCs of CAD patients compared to the NCAD group. There was a significant up-regulation of PVT1 after LPS treatment in PBMCs of both groups. Plasma matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) levels were found to be higher in CAD patients compared to the controls. The level of IL-10 and IL-22 production from the non-treated PBMCs of CAD was significantly lower compared to the NCAD group. In the total examined population, PVT1 expression was negatively correlated with IL-10 secretion. The results also showed a significant negative correlation between PVT1 expression and IL-10 produced by untreated cells. Conclusions: PVT1 expression is increased in PBMCs of CAD patients and this increased expression could be associated with decreased IL-10 production from PBMCs of these patients.

Objective: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) function as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for coronary artery disease due to their high stability, covalently closed structure and potential gene regulation. We aimed to identify the expression profile and role of circular RNAs (circRNAs) in coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: We performed RNA sequence analysis of circRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of 5 CAD patients and 5 controls. Bioinformatics analyses was adopted to explore biological functions of differentially expressed circRNAs. The miRanda and TargetScan tools were used to predict the miRNA targeting interactions and to construct a triple network of differentially expressed gene-circRNA-miRNA-mRNA. Results: In total, 13160 downregulated and 12905 upregulated circRNAs were identified in CAD. A gene ontology annotation analysis showed that genes in the network were involved in organelle organization, cell cycle, mitotic cycle and cellular metabolic process. Parental genes of the 10 dysregulated-circRNAs were involved in metabolism and protein modification, and these circRNAs might regulate gene expression associated with CAD via miRNA sponges. Conclusion: As potential ceRNAs, dysregulated circRNAs may be involved in the pathogenesis of CAD, which provides new insights into diagnosis and prognosis of coronary artery disease.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the long non-coding RNA metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (lncRNA MALAT1) expression and its role in cytokine production from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and non-CAD participants (NCAD). METHODS: Blood samples were taken from 15 patients with CAD and 15 NCAD individuals. The plasma was used for biochemical analyses. MALAT1 and CD36 expressions were evaluated in the isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by real-time PCR. Furthermore, the levels of inflammatory cytokines e.g. interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, and IL-22 were measured in the supernatants of the cultured PBMCs by flow cytometry. RESULTS: The levels of MALAT1 and CD36 were not significantly different between the CAD and NCAD groups. However, a lower level of MALAT1 and CD36 was observed in PBMCs of vitamin D deficient (<15 ng/ml) CAD and NCAD participants. Furthermore, the vitamin D deficient (<15 ng/ml) group showed a significantly higher plasma level of IL-6, IL-10, and IL-22 compared to the non-deficient (≥15 ng/ml) group. In addition, significant positive correlations were found between CD36, IL-22, and fasting blood sugar (FBS) with MALAT1. CONCLUSION: Given that in vitamin D deficient individuals a decreased level of MALAT1 was associated with CD36 expression and increased IL-22 production, vitamin D supplementation may play a role in reducing MALAT1/CD36/IL-22 mediated complications such as T2DM and CAD, especially in vitamin D deficiency.
