摘要: This study analyzed the potential associations of 7 myocardial fibrosis-related microRNAs with quality collagen network (e.g., degree fibril cross-linking or CCL) and enzyme lysyl oxidase (LOX) responsible for CCL in 28 patients severe aortic stenosis (AS) whom 46% had a diagnosis chronic heart failure (HF). MicroRNA expression was blood samples. From studied only miR-19b presented direct correlation (p < 0.05) between serum myocardium. Compared to controls both were reduced (p < 0.01) AS patients. In addition, myocardium HF compared without HF. Myocardial inversely correlated LOX, LV stiffness vitro studies inhibition increased connective tissue growth factor protein LOX human fibroblasts. conclusion, decreased may be involved up-regulation excessive CCL, consequently patients, namely those Serum can biomarker these alterations particularly
