MicroRNAs regulating superoxide dismutase 2 are new circulating biomarkers of heart failure.

| Abstract |
Although several risk factors such as infarct size have been identified, the progression of heart failure (HF) remains difficult to predict in clinical practice. Using an experimental rat model of post-myocardial infarction (MI), we previously identified 45 proteins differentially modulated during HF by proteomic analysis. This study sought to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) able to regulate these proteins and to test their relevance as biomarkers for HF. In silico bioinformatical analysis selected 13 miRNAs related to the 45 proteins previously identified. These miRNAs were analyzed in the rat and in cohorts of patients phenotyped for left ventricular remodeling (LVR). We identified that 3 miRNAs, miR-21-5p, miR-23a-3p and miR-222-3p, and their target Mn superoxide dismutase (SOD2) were significantly increased in LV and plasma of HF-rats. We found by luciferase activity a direct interaction of miR-222-3p with 3'UTR of SOD2. Transfection of human cardiomyocytes with miR-222-3p mimic or inhibitor induced respectively a decrease and an increase of SOD2 expression. Circulating levels of the 3 miRNAs and their target SOD2 were associated with high LVR post-MI in REVE-2 patients. We demonstrated for the first time the potential of microRNAs regulating SOD2 as new circulating biomarkers of HF.
