In-stent restenosis (ISR) is one of the most important complications and impacts the long-term effects after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Related studies have revealed that microRNA (miRNA) can predict ISR in CHD patients. MiRNA-126 may be a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of ISR. However, the accuracy of miRNA-126 in the diagnosis of ISR is still controversial. Therefore, this study carried out meta-analysis to further evaluate the accuracy of miRNA-126 in the diagnosis of ISR. At the same time, bioinformatics is used to predict the target genes and miRNA-126 may be involved in regulation, so as to provide theoretical support for the precise treatment of CHD.

Evidence reveals that microRNA (miRNA) can predict coronary restenosis in patients suffering from coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Perhaps, miRNA-21 is a promising biomarker for the diagnosis of coronary restenosis after PCI. However, the accuracy of miRNA-21 has not been systematically evaluated. Therefore, it is necessary to perform meta-analysis to certify the diagnostic values of miRNA-21 on coronary restenosis after PCI.

： Background: Arteriosclerosis has genetic correlation. Many studies have shown that Angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor gene A1166C Polymorphism is highly associated with Arteriosclerosis, but there is no evidence-based basis. The purpose of this study is to systematically evaluate the relationship between Angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor gene A1166C Polymorphism and Arteriosclerosis. Methods: The search time is set from the establishment of the database in December 2020 in this study. The search database include China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP and China Biology Medicine disc (CBM), PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library. The subjects are observational studies on the relationship between AGTR1 A1166C Polymorphism and Arteriosclerosis (including case-control study, cross-sectional study and cohort study). The language is limited to English and Chinese. The data of the included study are extracted and the literature quality is evaluated by two researchers independently. The data are statistically analyzed by Stata 16.0 software. Results: This study will use pulse wave velocity (PWV) as an index to evaluate Arteriosclerosis to explore the relationship between Angiotensin II type 1 receptor gene A1166C Polymorphism and Arteriosclerosis. Conclusion: This study will provide evidence-based medicine for elucidating the genetic tendency of Arteriosclerosis.

Bovine herpesvirus type 1 (BHV-1) is a neurotropic herpesvirus that causes infectious rhinotracheitis and vulvovaginitis in cattle. The virion host shutoff protein encoded by the BHV-1 UL41 gene is highly conserved in the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily. This protein can degrade viral and host messenger RNA (mRNA) to interrupt host defense and facilitate the rapid proliferation of BHV-1. However, studies on the BHV-1 UL41 gene are limited, and BHV-1 defective virus construction using the CRISPR/Cas9 system is somewhat challenging. In this study, we rapidly constructed a BHV-1 UL41-deficient strain using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in BL primary bovine-derived cells. BHV-1 UL41-defective mutants were screened by Western blot analysis using specific polyclonal antibodies as the primary antibodies. During the isolation and purification of the defective strain, a mixed virus pool edited by an efficient single-guide RNA (sgRNA) showed a plaque number reduction. Viral growth property assessment showed that BHV-1 UL41 was dispensable for replication, but the UL41-defective strain exhibited early and slowed viral replication. Furthermore, the BHV-1 UL41-deficient strain exhibited enhanced sensitivity to temperature and acidic environments. The BHV-1 UL41-deficient strain regulated viral and host mRNA levels to affect viral replication.

At the same time, bioinformatics is used to predict the target genes and miRNA-126 may be involved in regulation, so as to provide theoretical support for the precise treatment of CHD. Methods: The literatures on the miRNA-126 diagnosis of ISR in CHD patients were collected by searching on computer through China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Web of Science. The retrieval time is set to build the database until April 2021. The meta-analysis of the literatures that meet the quality standards was conducted by Stata 16.0 software. TargetScan database, PicTar database, miRanda database, and miRDB database were used to predict miRNA-126 intersection target genes. Gene Ontology (GO) functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) signal pathway enrichment analysis of miRNA-126 target genes were performed by using DAVID database. STRING database was applied to analyze the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network of miRNA-126 target genes. The “Networkanalyzer” function of Cytoscape3.7.2 software is adopted to analyze the network topology attributes, so as to find out the core genes of PPI network. Results: The results of this meta-analysis will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. Conclusion: In this study, meta-analysis and bioinformatics analysis were adopted to further evaluate the accuracy of miRNA-126 in the diagnosis of ISR in CHD patients, and to explore the mechanism of the action of miRNA-126 and understand related pathways. Ethics and dissemination: The private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also should not damage participants’ rights. Ethical approval is not available. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated in relevant conferences. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/9FMR5.

Methods: China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, VIP, and China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched for relevant studies to explore the potential diagnostic values of miRNA-21 on coronary restenosis after PCI from inception to January 2021. All data were extracted by 2 experienced researchers independently. The risk of bias about the meta-analysis was confirmed by the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2. The data extracted were synthesized and heterogeneity was investigated as well. All of the above statistical analyses were carried out with Stata 16.0. Results: This study proved the pooled diagnostic performance of miRNA-21 on coronary restenosis after PCI. Conclusion: This study clarified confusions about the specificity and sensitivity of miRNA-21 on coronary restenosis after PCI, thus further guiding their promotion and application. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval is not required for this study. The systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal, presented at conferences, and shared on social media platforms. This review would be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal or conference presentations. OSF Registration Number: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/356QK.
