Objective:

To summarize the current understanding and mechanisms of MIAT.

Approach:
  • Comprehensive Review: The review systematically details MIAT's basic characteristics, summarizes key research advances, explores its role in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and evaluates its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target.
Key Findings:
  • MIAT is implicated in various diseases beyond myocardial infarction, including ischemic stroke, hepatocellular carcinoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
  • Genome-wide association studies link single nucleotide polymorphisms in MIAT to myocardial infarction incidence.
  • MIAT exhibits dynamic subcellular localization, influencing its role as a transcriptional regulator or competing endogenous RNA.
Interpretation:

The review integrates both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular pathologies and discusses newly identified mechanisms.

Limitations:
  • No clinical trials targeting MIAT have been registered to date.
  • Few reviews have summarized MIAT's roles in both cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases comprehensively.
Conclusion:

The review provides insights into MIAT's current research status and mechanisms.
