Summary: | Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of long noncoding
RNA
s (lnc
RNA
s) as biomarkers for coronary artery disease (
CAD
). We measured the levels of three atherosclerosis‐ or cardiac‐related lnc
RNA
s in peripheral blood monocyte cells (
PBMC
s) from 20
CAD
patients and 20 non‐
CAD
control participants using real‐time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (real‐time
RT
–
PCR
) methods. We found that the levels of lnc
RNA KCNQ
1 opposite strand/antisense transcript 1 (
KCNQ
1
OT
1), hypoxia‐inducible factor 1 alpha‐antisense
RNA
2 (
HIF
1A‐
AS
2) and apolipoprotein A‐1 antisense
RNA
(
APOA
1‐
AS
) were significantly increased in
CAD
patients (
KCNQ
1
OT
1 increased by 2.38‐fold,
P
= 0.00042;
HIF
1A‐
AS
2 increased by 2.00‐fold,
P
= 0.0001;
APOA
1‐
AS
increased by 4.52‐fold,
P
= 0.000048). The area under the
ROC
curve was 0.865 for
KCNQ
1
OT
1, 0.852 for
HIF
1A‐
AS
2, and 0.967 for
APOA
1‐
AS
. Furthermore, the combination of lnc
RNA
s resulted in a much higher
AUC
value of 0.990 for the prediction of
CAD
. Spearman's correlation analysis showed that
APOA
1‐
AS
was positively correlated with
NT
‐pro
BNP
,
CKMB
,
MYO
and HsTnT, whereas
HIF
1A‐
AS
2 was correlated with
NT
‐pro
BNP
and HsTnT. Hence, the elevation of
KCNQ
1
OT
1,
HIF
1A‐
AS
2 and
APOA
1‐
AS
predicts
CAD
and these molecules may be considered as novel biomarkers of
CAD
