Inflammation has been well recognized to play an important role in developing coronary artery disease (CAD). By regulating essential genes in this pathway post-transcriptionally, MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may help or hinder the development of atherosclerotic lesions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of miR-24-3p, miR-595, CCL3, CCL4, IL-1ß, TNFaIP3, and NF-?BIa in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of CAD and control groups and to examine whether any correlation exists between the expression of miRs and genes in CAD group. A total of 168 subjects (84 CAD subjects and 84 control subjects) were examined in this research. Expression levels of miR-24-3p, miR-595, CCL3, CCL4, IL-1ß, TNFaIP3, and NF-?BIa in PBMCs were measured using the real-time PCR technique. A comparison of the CAD group with the control group indicated significantly increased expression levels of CCL3, CCL4, and IL-1ß (Fold Change (FC) =4, P=0.009; FC=2.9, P=0.01; FC=1.8, P=0.019, respectively) and remarkably reduced expression levels of TNFaIP3 and NF?BIa (FC=-1.4, P=0.03 and FC=-5.9, P=0.001, respectively). Moreover, the expression levels of miR-24-3p downregulated (FC=-2.5, P=0.005) and miR-595 upregulated (FC=1.9, P=0.009) in the CAD group. There was a statistical correlation between the number of clogged arteries with expression levels of miR-24-3p, miR-595, CCL3, CCL4, IL-1ß, TNFaIP3, and NF-?BIa in the CAD group. Also, there was a statistical correlation between expression levels of miR-24-3p and miR-595 with CCL3, CCL4, IL-1ß, TNFaIP3, and NF-?BIa gene expression in the CAD group. In CAD patients, decreased expression of miR-24-3p and increased expression of miR-595 may aid the progression of atherosclerotic plaques by regulating CCL3, CCL4, IL-1ß, TNFaIP3, and NF?BIa gene expression.
