Analysis of circulating microRNA: preanalytical and analytical challenges.
BACKGROUND There is great interest in circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) as disease biomarkers. Translating promising miRNAs into validated clinical tests requires the characterization of many preanalytical and analytical parameters. METHODS miRNAs were extracted from serum and plasma samples of healthy volunteers, and miRNAs known to be present in serum and plasma (miR-15b, miR-16, miR-24, and m...
متن کاملHigh Percentage of Isomeric Human MicroRNA and Their Analytical Challenges
MicroRNA (miR) are short non-coding RNAs known to post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression, and have been reported as biomarkers for various diseases. miR have also been served as potential drug targets. The identity, functions and detection of a specific miR are determined by its RNA sequence, whose composition is made up of only 4 canonical ribonucleotides. Hence, among over two thousa...
متن کاملAnalytical challenges and technical limitations in assessing circulating miRNAs.
MiRNAs are emerging as promising biomarkers in cardiovascular diseases and may constitute a novel mechanism of intercellular communication. Accurate quantification of circulating miRNAs is essential. A variety of technological approaches and platforms have been developed with increased sensitivity and specificity for the detection and quantification of circulating miRNAs. In this review, we foc...
متن کاملLow testosterone and risk of premature death in older men: analytical and preanalytical issues in measuring circulating testosterone.
Two recent papers in Circulation (1 ) and Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (2 ) reported that older men with lower serum testosterone concentrations had a greater risk of dying than did men with higher testosterone. This potentially clinically important finding was not observed in 2 other prospective cohort studies (3, 4 ), and another cohort study reported that low concentratio...
