A comparative analysis of high-throughput platforms for validation of a circulating microRNA signature in diabetic retinopathy
نویسندگان
چکیده
MicroRNAs are now increasingly recognized as biomarkers of disease progression. Several quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) platforms have been developed to determine the relative levels of microRNAs in biological fluids. We systematically compared the detection of cellular and circulating microRNA using a standard 96-well platform, a high-content microfluidics platform and two ultra-high content platforms. We used extensive analytical tools to compute inter- and intra-run variability and concordance measured using fidelity scoring, coefficient of variation and cluster analysis. We carried out unprejudiced next generation sequencing to identify a microRNA signature for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) and systematically assessed the validation of this signature on clinical samples using each of the above four qPCR platforms. The results indicate that sensitivity to measure low copy number microRNAs is inversely related to qPCR reaction volume and that the choice of platform for microRNA biomarker validation should be made based on the abundance of miRNAs of interest.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy is a common chronic complication of diabetes and one of the leading causes of acquired blindness in the world. There is growing evidence that traditional risk factors do not fully justify the onset and progression of diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, some other risk factors such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease may be involved in the pathophysiology of diabe...
