Analysis on the Expression and Prognostic Value of LncRNA FAF in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease

الملخص EN

Objective.

To investigate the expression and prognostic value of LncRNA FAF in patients with coronary heart disease.

Patients and Methods.

97 patients with coronary heart disease who came to our hospital were selected as the research group (RG), and 97 healthy people who came to our hospital for physical examination during the same period were selected as the control group (CG).

The serum LncRNA FAF, plasma homocysteine (HCY), lipoprotein A (Lp-a), serum tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in the two groups of patients were detected, and their correlations were analyzed.

Then, the predictive value and risk factors of FAF for poor prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease were analyzed.

Results.

The expression of LncRNA FAF in the serum of patients in the RG was significantly lower than that in the CG, and the expressions of HCY, Lp-a, TNF-α, and hsCRP were significantly higher than those in the CG (p <0.05).

The AUC of FAF in the diagnosis of coronary heart disease was more than 0.9.

FAF was negatively correlated with the coronary lesion vessels, HCY, Lp-a, TNF-α, and hsCRP expressions in patients with coronary heart disease (p<0.05).

The ROC of FAF for predicting poor prognosis in patients with coronary heart disease was greater than 0.9.

Low expression of FAF; high expressions of HCY, Lp-a, and hsCRP; and increase of coronary lesion vessels were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with coronary heart disease.

Conclusions.

LncRNA FAF was lowly expressed in the serum of patients with coronary heart disease, and it was of high value in the diagnosis and prediction of poor prognosis of coronary heart disease.

It was also an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease and may be a potential target for diagnosis and treatment of coronary heart disease.
