The expression levels of miR-16, miR-193b, miR-199a, miR-222, and miR-324 in PBMCs were significantly higher in CHC patients compared with healthy controls and significantly different between CHC patients with HCV genotype 1 (GT-1) and non-genotype-1 (non-GT-1). Multivariate logistic regression analysis also showed that patients with high expression levels of the six target miRNAs had an approximately 7.202-fold risk of CHC compared with those with low expression levels of the target miRNAs. We concluded that the expression levels of miR-16, miR-193b, miR-199a, miR-222, and miR-324 target miRNAs in PBMCs of CHC may act as significant risk biomarkers for the development of CHC.
与健康对照相比,慢性丙型肝炎(CHC)患者外周血单核细胞(PBMCs)中miR-16、miR-193b、miR-199a、miR-222和miR-324的表达水平显著更高,且在丙型肝炎病毒1型(GT-1)的CHC患者与非1型(非GT-1)的CHC患者之间存在显著差异。多因素逻辑回归分析还显示,与靶标miRNAs低表达水平的患者相比,六种靶标miRNAs高表达水平的患者患CHC的风险约高7.202倍。我们得出结论,CHC患者PBMCs中miR-16、miR-193b、miR-199a、miR-222和miR-324靶标miRNAs的表达水平可能是CHC发生的重要风险生物标志物。
