Serum microRNA miR-491-5p/miR-206 Is Correlated with Poor Outcomes/Spontaneous Hemorrhagic Transformation after Ischemic Stroke: A Case Control Study

Background: It is unclear whether miR-491-5p, miR-206, miR-21-5p or miR-3123 are associated with functional outcomes and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In this study, we aimed to investigate the correlation between these four microRNAs and functional outcomes, as...

description Background: It is unclear whether miR-491-5p, miR-206, miR-21-5p or miR-3123 are associated with functional outcomes and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). In this study, we aimed to investigate the correlation between these four microRNAs and functional outcomes, as well as spontaneous HT after AIS; Methods: We included 215 AIS patients and retrospectively assayed for miR-21-5p, miR-206, miR-3123 and miR-491-5p levels in serum. Poor functional outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score ≥ 3. Spontaneous HT referred to hemorrhage detected in follow-up brain imaging but not on admission, without reperfusion therapies. Logistic regression, generalized additive model and 2-piecewise regression model were used to explore the independent, non-linear correlation between miRNA expression levels and outcomes; Results: We included 215 AIS patients. Higher miR-491-5p level independently reduced the risk of poor functional outcomes at 1 year (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.82–0.98, corrected <i>p</i> value = 0.044). Higher miR-206 level significantly increased the risk of spontaneous HT (OR 1.64, 95% CI 1.17–2.30, corrected <i>p</i> value = 0.016). There was a nonlinear correlation found between miR-491-5p level and 1 year outcome with an inflection point of 2.180, while an approximately linear correlation was observed with an inflection point of 2.037 between miR-206 level and spontaneous HT; Conclusions: Higher serum miR-491-5p level independently reduced risk of 1-year poor functional outcome of AIS patients. Higher serum miR-206 level independently increased the risk of spontaneous HT in AIS patients. These two miRNAs may be as the potential biomarkers for improving prognosis after AIS.
