Malnutrition and parasitic helminth infections.
The Global Burden of Disease caused by the 3 major intestinal nematodes is an estimated 22.1 million disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) lost for hookworm, 10.5 million for Ascaris lumbricoides, 6.4 million for Trichuris trichiura, and 39.0 million for the three infections combined (as compared with malaria at 35.7 million) (World Bank, 1993; Chan et al. 1994); these figures illustrate why s...
متن کاملExtracellular microRNAs as Biomarkers in Human Disease
Dysregulation of microRNA (miRNA) levels is observed in diverse disease states. Early studies showed that by analyzing the expression profile of miRNAs in the tissue sample of a diseased person, it was possible to classify the disease into a specific subtype. To be used for diagnostic purposes more practically, however, a less invasive method than tissue biopsy is required. Surprisingly, it was...
متن کاملParasite-Derived MicroRNAs in Host Serum As Novel Biomarkers of Helminth Infection
BACKGROUND MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of short non-coding RNA that play important roles in disease processes in animals and are present in a highly stable cell-free form in body fluids. Here, we examine the capacity of host and parasite miRNAs to serve as tissue or serum biomarkers of Schistosoma mansoni infection. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We used Exiqon miRNA microarrays to profile miR...
متن کاملPlasma-derived extracellular vesicle proteins as a source of biomarkers for lung adenocarcinoma
Exosomes and other extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been implicated as mediators of intercellular communication. Their release into the circulation has the potential to inform about tumor status. In-depth proteomic characterization of plasma-derived EVs has been limited by challenges in isolating EVs from protein-abundant biological fluids. We implemented a novel single-step density gradient f...
متن کاملMicroRNAs as biomarkers associated with bladder cancer
Bladder cancer is the fifth most common cancer with significant morbidity and mortality. Recently, numerous studies demonstrated that microRNAs are emerging as diagnostic biomarkers for bladder cancer. Specific miRNA profiles have been identified for several samples from patients with bladder cancer. MicroRNAs are noncoding RNA molecules of approximately 23 nucleotides that play important roles...
