MicroRNAs have been found to be deregulated in several diseases and, due to their high stability in body fluids, represent promising noninvasively detectable biomarkers. However, numerous technical variables can affect accurate measurement of circulating miRNAs. Using a microarray-based method we assessed the: (i) adequate intra- and inter-array reproducibility of miRNA profiling; (ii) feasibil...

An increasing number of studies have focused on circulating microRNAs (cmiRNA) in cancer patients' blood for their potential as minimally-invasive biomarkers. Studies have reported the utility of assessing specific miRNAs in blood as diagnostic/prognostic biomarkers; however, the methodologies are not validated or standardized across laboratories. Unfortunately, there is often minimum limited o...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a high-risk factor for the morbidity and mortality of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Thus, we conducted meta-analysis to investigate whether microRNAs associated with non-alcoholic are their potential predict in individuals. We systematic literature search using PubMed, Cochrane library Embase databases. The about circulating microRNA levels nonalcoholic individu...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential value of circulating miRNA-122a and miRNA-221 in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma. METHODS Serum samples were obtained from 85 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma and 85 age-matched and sex-matched healthy volunteers. miRNAs were isolated from the serum samples, and alfa-fetoprotein levels were determined. Expressi...

acute coronary syndrome is the leading cause of mortality worldwide. for prompt diagnosis and management of this disease, several biomarkers have been utilized. recently microrna which are suggestive of tissue damage and some are cardiospecific are paid special attention and might help in dearly diagnosis of this disease and furthermore help in preventing the resultant mortality. in this review...

Circulating plasma microvesicles (PMVs) and their microRNA content are involved in the development of atherosclerosis and could serve as biomarkers for cardiovascular disease (CVD) progression. However, little is known on how smoking influences the levels of PMVs and microRNA signatures in vivo. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of smoking on circulating PMV levels and CVD-related ...

BACKGROUND The relationship between circulating microRNA-223 and pathogenesis of acute ischemic stroke is unknown. Here we investigated the roles and possible targets of circulating microRNA-223 in human ischemic stroke within the first 72 hours. METHODS Blood samples were collected from patients within 72 hours after cerebral ischemia (n = 79) and compared with healthy control samples (n = 7...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are small endogenous non-coding RNAs that regulate the expression of protein-encoding genes at the post-transcriptional level. Several studies have described the role of miRNAs in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), including tumor suppressor and oncogenic miRNAs. Down-regulation of miRNA expression is a prominent feature of human malignancy. This down-regulati...
