Keywords: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small endogenous non-coding RNA, size range from 17 to 25 nucleotides that regulate
Coronary artery disease gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. More than 2000 different types of miRNAs have been identified
Atherosclerosis in humans which regulate about 60% of gene expression, since the discovery of the first miRNA in 1993.
miRNA
MicroRNA performs many functions such as being involved in the regulation of various biological pathways for
Cell signalling pathway
example cell migration, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, disease progression, and initiation. miRNAs also
play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis lesions, cardiac fibroblast, cardiac hypertrophy,
cancer, and neurological disorders. Abnormal activation of many cell signaling pathways has been observed in
the development of coronary artery disease. Abnormal expression of these candidate miRNA genes leads to up or
downregulation of specific genes, these specific genes play an important role in the regulation of cell signaling
pathways involved in coronary artery disease. Many studies have found that miRNAs play a key role in the
regulation of crucial signaling pathways that are involved in the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease. This
review is designed to investigate the role of cell signaling pathways regulated by candidate miRNAs in Coronary
artery disease.
