The aim was to identify differences in microRNA expression between patients with and without preeclampsia.
Microarray-based study was carried out with placental samples.
Comparison of eight previous studies with the current study revealed a total of 138 microRNAs; only 20/138 (14%), however, were seen in more than one study and the results agreed in the direction of change. Bioinformatic analysis of these 20 microRNAs identified a wide range of biological functions including apoptosis and cell movement for their mRNA targets.
The associations between miRNA expression and preeclampsia suggest a potential role for microRNAs in preeclampsia pathobiology.
旨在确定子痫前期患者与非子痫前期患者之间微小RNA表达的差异。
对胎盘样本进行基于微阵列的研究。
将之前的八项研究与当前研究进行比较,共发现138种微小RNA;然而,其中只有20/138(14%)在不止一项研究中出现,且结果在变化方向上一致。对这20种微小RNA进行生物信息学分析,确定了其mRNA靶标的广泛生物学功能,包括细胞凋亡和细胞运动。
微小RNA表达与子痫前期之间的关联表明,微小RNA在子痫前期病理生物学中可能发挥作用。
