Upregulation of microRNA-205 is a potential biomarker for intracranial aneurysms,
NeuroReport. 30(12):812-816, August 14, 2019.
Inhibition of microRNA-205 is considered to be a therapeutic target for abdominal aortic aneurysm in animal model. Hepatocyte growth factor also plays pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms, and its expression can be regulated by different miRNAs in different processes. We investigated the involvement of microRNA-205 in intracranial aneurysms and explored is potential interaction with hepatocyte growth factor. We found that blood levels of microRNA-205 were significantly higher in patients with intracranial aneurysms than in healthy controls. High blood levels of microRNA-205 showed diagnostic values for intracranial aneurysms. MicroRNA-205 and hepatocyte growth factor were negatively correlated in patients with intracranial aneurysms. MicroRNA-205 overexpression inhibited hepatocyte growth factor expression and reduced cell viability. Therefore, microRNA-205 may participate in intracranial aneurysms and may serve as a diagnostic marker for this disease.
