Objective: This study aims to evaluate the expression pattern of circulating microRNAs (miR)-486-5p, miR-497, miR-509-5p, and miR-605 in the serum of metabolic syndrome (MetS) Egyptian male patients. Methods: In this study, the circulating miR-486-5p, miR-497, miR509-5p, and miR-605 were amplified and quantitatively detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in sera of 55 MetS male patients in comparison to 20 male controls. The level of fasting plasma glucose and triacylglycerol (TAG) were measured using calorimetric assay. Blood pressure was measured using mercuric sphygmomanometer. Anthropometric measurements were done to each individual. Furthermore, MetS patients were defined according to the criteria proposed by the American Heart Association and divided into three groups according to MetS index. Results: The study was performed on three groups and a control group defined as follows: group 1: 15 MetS patients who fulfilled all diagnostic criteria of MetS; group 2: 20 MetS patients with normal blood pressure; group 3: 20 MetS patients with normal TAG levels.The levels of miRs are expressed as [median (IQR)]. miR-486-5-p and miR-497 expression were elevated in group 1 [31.9(49), p˂0.0001; 73.1(42.5), p˂0.0001], group 2 [36.4(15.7), p˂0.0001; 68.3(54.8), p˂0.0001], and group (3) [10.8(18.9), p=0.0014; 27.5(39.7), p=0.0012]. MiR-509-5p was elevated in groups 1 and 2 [501(468), p=0.0001], [309(436), p=0.0006], respectively, while normally expressed in group 3 [0.93(0.077), p=0.0001]. miR-605 was elevated in groups 1 and 3 [25.4(20.0), p=0.0018], [54.8(65.8), p˂0.0001], while normally expressed in group 2 [0.84(0.67), p˂0.0001]. Conclusion: miRs (486-5p, 497, 509-5p, and 605) serum levels were higher in MetS patients than in healthy control subjects; therefore, these serum miRs can serve as early biomarkers and can be used to follow-up the prognosis of MetS.

The American Heart Association (AHA) publishes medical scientific statements on various cardiovascular disease and stroke topics. AHA volunteer scientists and healthcare professionals write the papers. The statements are supported by scientific studies published in recognized journals and have a rigorous review and approval process. Scientific statements generally include a review of data available on a specific subject, an evaluation on its relationship to overall cardiovascular disease science, and often an American Heart Association position on the basis of that evaluation. The American Heart Association sponsors accredited scientific conferences and professional development seminars to disseminate new and emerging scientific knowledge and stimulate discussion on future research and the application of knowledge.
