BACKGROUND: Implantation of current generation left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) in the treatment of end-stage heart failure (HF), not only improves HF symptoms and end-organ perfusion, but also leads to cellular and molecular responses, presumably in response to the continuous flow generated by these devices. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression in multiple biological processes, including the pathogenesis of HF. In our study, we examined the influence of long-term LVAD support on changes in flow-sensitive miRNAs in plasma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Blood samples from patients with end-stage heart failure (N = 33; age = 55.7 ± 11.6 years) were collected before LVAD implantation and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after implantation. Plasma levels of the flow-sensitive miRNAs; miR-10a, miR-10b, miR-146a, miR-146b, miR-663a, miR-663b, miR-21, miR-155, and miR-126 were measured using quantitative PCR. RESULTS: Increasing quantities of miR-126 (P < 0.03) and miR-146a (P < 0.02) was observed at each follow-up visit after LVAD implantation. A positive association between miR-155 and Belcaro score (P < 0.04) and an inverse correlation between miR-126 and endothelial function, measured as the reactive hyperemia index (P < 0.05), was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Our observations suggest that after LVAD implantation, low pulsatile flow up-regulates plasma levels of circulating flow-sensitive miRNAs, contributing to endothelial dysfunction and vascular remodeling.
