“…Indeed, the cells expressing induced-miR-21 in disease remain unidentified and although Treg numbers decrease with vascular disease, the possibility exists that the remaining cells enhance miR-21 to mediate suppressive effects. Although the current study did not examine miR-21 in Treg in atherosclerotic plaques, miR-21 has been reported to be up-regulated in human plaques (18) and differences in local and peripheral regulatory T-cell function may exist. The authors highlight a previous study which demonstrated that Tregs derived from umbilical cord blood (13), which represented a heterogenous population distinct from those of circulating PBMC, also express miR-21 to promote Treg activity through FoxP3.…”

“…The current evidence supports the hypothesis that miR-146a operates as an important epigenetic regulator in various pathways involved in atherosclerosis and stroke. Thus, we were prompted to explore the relationship between miR146a and ACI 15,16) . Certain single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) could influence the function of the target genes and are associated with diseases risk 17) .…”

“…An increase expression of Gal-3 mRNA in human carotid atherosclerotic plaque tissue may be affected by rare genetic variants of the haplotype block, previously associated with Gal-3 circulating levels [85,86]. Diverse cellular processes in atherosclerosis are affected by microRNAs (miRs) and their expression are often tissue and disease-specific [87,88]. Recently, the prediction algorithms and computational methods were applied to identify novel miRs important in pathogenesis of early and advanced atherosclerosis [89].…”
