Abstract Circulating microRNA (miRNA), a non-coding RNA molecule, is the potential biomarker for bone and mineral metabolism. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) one of leading causes secondary osteoporosis. After parathyroidectomy, BMD improves as parathyroid hormone (PTH) decreases in patients with PHPT but degree recovery vary greatly among patients. Biomarkers which are able to predict posto...

Aim: comparative analysis of the expression profile plasma microRNAs and target genes in patients with complicated pregnancy. Materials Methods. A prospective observational study parallel groups was carried out. The included 73 women divided into three groups: main group – 42 preeclampsia (PE), comparison 12 pregnant fetal growth retardation (FGR), control 19 clinically healthy uncomplicated An...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most prevalent and lethal human cancers chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection accounts for up to 50% total HCC cases worldwide. Although resection surgery has been available as a curative therapy HCC, high rate recurrence remains big threat patient survival. Therefore, discovery valuable biomarkers selecting patients at higher risk key goal allow...

AIMS To demonstrate that pregnancy-related complications are associated with alterations in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular microRNA expression. Gene expression of 32 microRNAs (miR-1-3p, miR-16-5p, miR-17-5p, miR-20a-5p, miR-20b-5p, miR-21-5p, miR-23a-3p, miR-24-3p, miR-26a-5p, miR-29a-3p, miR-33a-5p, miR-92a-3p, miR-100-5p, miR-103a-3p, miR-122-5p, miR-125b-5p, miR-126-3p, miR-130b-3p, miR...

Background: Semaphorin-3A (Sema3A), as a secreted semaphorin, is an immune modulator molecule participating in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) modulate the target-gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. It has been proposed that miRNAs may be crucial to the modulation of the function of semaphorins. Previous findings have proven that miR-497-5p is upregula...

Breast cancer is a complex genetic disease that has an average annual incidence of two million people and the second leading cause of death among women all over the world. Micro-RNAs are consistently reported to regulate gene expression in all cancers. The present study, the correlation between the expression of hsa-miR-490-5p and nuclear factor of activated T-cells 5 (NFAT5) in breast cancer w...

The aim of the study was to demonstrate that preterm birth (PTB) is associated with altered C19MC microRNA expression profile in placental tissues. Gene expression of 15 placental specific microRNAs (miR‑512‑5p, miR‑515‑5p, miR‑516‑5p, miR‑517‑5p, miR‑518b, miR‑518f‑5p, miR‑519a, miR‑519d, miR‑519e‑5p, miR‑520a‑5p, miR‑520h, miR‑524‑5p, miR‑525‑5p, miR‑526a and miR‑526b‑5p) was compared between...

The aim of the present study was to examine the hypothesis that miR-33-5p attenuates morphine state-dependent (StD) memory via the µ opioid receptor by regulating cyclic AMP response element-binding protein (CREB). The effects of post-training morphine and morphine StD memory and their interaction with pre-test naloxone were evaluated using a single-trial inhibitory avoidance paradigm. Then, th...

MicroRNA (miRNA) expression profiling of colorectal cancer (CRC) are often inconsistent among different studies. To determine candidate miRNA biomarkers for CRC, we performed an integrative analysis of miRNA expression profiling compared CRC tissues and paired neighboring noncancerous colorectal tissues. Using robust rank aggregation method, we identified a miRNA set of 10 integrated-signature ...
