Circulating microRNA-122 as a potential biomarker for liver injury.
Liver-specific microRNA-122 (miR-122) is involved in the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and its potential as a target for antiviral intervention was recently assessed. However, the use of circulating miR-122 in the evaluation of liver function has never been reported. In the present study, changes of serum miRNA levels were first evaluated in acute human hepatotoxicity due to paraquat e...
متن کاملCirculating Liver-Specific miR-122 as a Novel Potential Biomarker for Diagnosis of Cholestatic Liver Injury
BACKGROUND Circulating microRNA-122 (miR-122) has been increasingly reported to be a potential biomarker for drug-, viral-, alcohol- and chemical-induced liver injury. The present study was initiated to determine the potential of circulating miR-122 as a biomarker for cholestatic liver injury. METHODS Both bile-duct ligation (BDL) mice and patients with biliary calculi were employed as choles...
متن کاملCirculating microRNA-122 as Potential Biomarker for Detection of Testosterone Abuse
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and thus influence many cellular and physiological processes. miRNAs are also present in cell-free body fluids such as plasma or serum, and these circulating miRNAs are very stable, sensitive, and specific biomarkers of pathophysiological states. In this study, we investigated whether circulating miRNAs could serve as bi...
متن کاملCirculating miR-122-5p as a potential novel biomarker for diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play key roles in cardiac development, and the expression of miRNAs is altered in the diseased heart. The aim of this study was to explore the value of circulating microRNA-122-5p (miR-122-5p) as a potential biomarker for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS Plasma samples from 50 patients with AMI and 39 healthy adults (non-AMI controls) were collected. Th...
متن کاملCirculating microRNA-137 is a potential biomarker for human glioblastoma.
OBJECTIVE In this study, we investigated whether circulating microRNA-137 (miR-137) could be a potential biomarker for patients with glioblastoma (GBM). PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum samples were collected from 64 GBM patients and 64 healthy controls. The expression level of circulating miR-137 was compared by quantitative RT-PCR. Among GBM patients, circulating miR-137 was compared between pati...
