Circulating MicroRNAs as Novel Potential Biomarkers for Left Ventricular Remodeling in Postinfarction Heart Failure

Figure 3

Validation of candidate plasma miRNAs. (a) Expression levels of 13 candidate plasma miRNAs in the 8-week post-MI group and the sham group. The left 2 bars of each panel show miRNA levels detected by miRNA sequencing in the 8-week post-MI group () and the sham group (). The right 2 bars of each panel show the same miRNA levels validated using real-time PCR in the 8-week post-MI group () and the sham group (). (b) ROC curves and the AUCs of miR-20a-5p, miR-340-5p, and let-7i-5p for predicting HF at 8 weeks post-MI. versus the corresponding sham group. RNA-seq: RNA sequencing; MI: myocardial infarction; HF: heart failure; ROC: receiver operator characteristic; AUC: area under the curve.
