In addition to supervised walking therapy, antithrombotic therapy and the management of risk factors, the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is limited to endovascular and surgical interventions, i.e., angioplasty with stent implantation and bypass surgery, respectively. Both are associated with a high restenosis rate. Furthermore, patients with PAD often suffer atherothrombotic events like myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attacks or stroke. Small ribonucleic acids (RNAs) have proven reliable biomarkers because of their remarkable stability. Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) guide modifications to small nuclear RNAs and ribosomal RNAs, enabling protein synthesis. In the current study, we measured four snoRNAs in 104 consecutive PAD patients who underwent elective infrainguinal angioplasty with stent implantation. We selected snoRNAs that showed significant overexpression in the plasma of end-stage PAD patients in a previous study. All four snoRNAs are transcribed from the 14q32 locus, which is strongly linked to human cardiovascular disease, including PAD and restenosis. We showed that the four selected 14q32 snoRNAs were abundantly expressed in the plasma of PAD patients. The plasma levels of these snoRNAs were not directly associated with target vessel restenosis, however, levels of SNORD113.2 and SNORD114.1 were strongly linked to platelet activation, which is an important determinant of long-term outcome, in PAD, and in cardiovascular disease in general.
