AB  - Current clinical data show that, despite constant efforts to develop novel therapies and clinical approaches, atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) are still one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Advanced and unstable atherosclerotic plaques most often trigger acute coronary events that can lead to fatal outcomes. However, despite the fact that different plaque phenotypes may require different treatments, current approaches to prognosis, diagnosis, and classification of acute coronary syndrome do not consider the diversity of plaque phenotypes. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent an important class of molecules that are implicated in epigenetic control of numerous cellular processes. Here we review the latest knowledge about lncRNAs’ influence on plaque development and stability through regulation of immune response, lipid metabolism, extracellular matrix remodelling, endothelial cell function, and vascular smooth muscle function, with special emphasis on pro-atherogenic and anti-atherogenic lncRNA functions. In addition, we present current challenges in the research of lncRNAs’ role in atherosclerosis and translation of the findings from animal models to humans. Finally, we present the directions for future lncRNA-oriented research, which may ultimately result in patient-oriented therapeutic strategies for ASCVD.

AB  - Background. Metabolic alterations, particularly disorders of lipoprotein metabolism in COVID-19, may affect the course and outcome of the disease. This study aims at evaluating the lipoprotein profile and redox status in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients with different pneumonia severity and their association with lethal outcomes. Methods. The prospective cohort study was performed on 98 COVID-19 patients with mild, moderate, and severe pneumonia. Lipid and inflammatory parameters, lipoprotein subclasses, and redox status biomarkers were determined at the study entry and after one week. Results. Compared to patients with mild and moderate pneumonia, severely ill patients had higher oxidised low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) and malondialdehyde levels and lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) concentrations and paraoxonase 1 activity. Reduction in the proportion of large HDL 2a subclasses with a concomitant increase in the proportion of smallest HDL 3c and small dense LDL (sdLDL) particles was observed in patients with severe disease during the time. However, these changes were reversed in the mild and moderate groups. The results showed a positive association between changes in oxLDL and total antioxidative status. However, prooxidants and antioxidants in plasma were lower in patients with lethal outcomes. Conclusions. Increased levels of oxLDL and sdLDL particles may contribute to the severity of COVID-19. The role of oxidative stress should be clarified in further studies, mainly its association with lethal outcomes.

AB  - Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Atherosclerosis
involves an interplay of different pathological mechanisms, such as progressive inflammation,
abnormal lipid metabolism, and oxidative stress, and as such represents the basic pathological
phenomenon underlying CAD. Atherosclerotic plaque narrows the lumen of coronary arteries,
creating an ischemic environment for the heart muscle, which finally leads to clinical
complications, such as acute myocardial infarction. Currently, there are no biomarkers that could
predict plaque stability or major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Numerous functional
non-coding RNA (ncRNA) species influence basic cellular functions, and as such play a role in
the development and progression of CAD. Of these ncRNAs, micro RNAs (miRNAs) and long
non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are the most investigated. Considering that ncRNAs detected in
extracellular fluids can originate from different cells, circulating ncRNAs are being intensively
investigated as potential biomarkers in the diagnosis and prognosis of CAD. In the following
paper, we provide current insights into potential molecular mechanisms by which miRNAs and
lncRNAs contribute to the pathology of CAD and discuss their potential role as biomarkers in
diagnosis and prognosis of disease.
AB  - Koronarna arterijska bolest (KAB) predstavlja vodeći uzrok smrtnosti širom sveta. Osnovni patološki proces koji karakteriše KAB je ateroskleroza, koju odlikuju različiti patofiziološki mehanizmi kao što su progresivna inflamacija, poremećen metabolizam lipida, oksidativni stres, itd. Aterosklerotski plak sužava lumen koronarnih arterija, što dovodi do nastanka ishemijskih promena na srčanom mišiću, posledično dovodeći do kliničkih komplikacija ove bolesti, kao što je akutni infarkt miokarda. Trenutno ne postoje biomarkeri koji bi mogli da predvide sudbinu aterosklerotskog plaka, kao ni razvoj akutnih koronarnih događaja ili razvoj velikih uznapredovalih kardiovaskularnih događaja. Mnogobrojne vrste nekodirajućih RNK molekula utiču na osnovne ćelijske funkcije i kao takve igraju ulogu u nastanku i progresiji KAB. Do sada su od svih vrsta nekodirajućih RNK-a najviše istražene mikro RNK-a (miRNK) i dugolančane nekodirajuće RNK-a (dnkRNK). Uzimajući u obzir da nekodirajuće RNK-a dospevaju u ekstracelularnu tečnost iz različitih ćelija, trenutno se veliki napori ulažu u ispitivanje mogućnosti upotrebe cirkulišuih nekodirajućih RNK-a kao potencijalnih biomarkera u dijagnostici i prognostici KAB. U ovom naučno-istraživačkom članku sažećemo trenutna saznanja o molekularnim mehanizmima preko kojih miRNK i dnkRNK doprinose razvoju KAB, kao i o potencijalnoj primeni ovih molekula kao budućih biomarkera u dijagnozi i prognozi ove bolesti.
