This study aimed to investigate the effect of nanomicelle curcumin (CUR), Nigella sativa oil (NS), and CUR and NS on the plasma levels of miR-21, miR-422a, and miR-503 expression in postmenopausal women with low bone mass density (BMD). This randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial with a factorial design was conducted on 120 postmenopausal women from the integrated healthcare system, Tabriz-Iran. The BMD was determined using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Women were randomly divided into four groups of 30 participants: (a) CUR (80 mg) and placebo of NS, (b) NS (1,000 mg) and placebo of CUR, (c) CUR (80 mg) and NS (1,000 mg), and (d) both placebos (containing microcrystalline cellulose). The plasma level of miRNA-21, miRNA-422a, and miRNA-503 was determined by qRT-PCR. The expression level of miRNAs at the baseline was similar. At the end of the intervention, only the expression level of miRNA-21 changed statistically significantly between the four groups (p = .037) and between the NS and placebo groups (p = .005). Also, its expression in the two groups receiving NS (p = .037) and NS-CUR (p = .043) was significantly increased. NS and NS-CUR supplementation can increase the expression level of miRNA-21 in postmenopausal women with low bone density, and bring perspective to further studies of the target.
本研究旨在探讨纳米姜黄素(CUR)、黑种草油(NS)以及 CUR 和 NS 对低骨密度(BMD)绝经后妇女血浆 miR-21、miR-422a 和 miR-503 表达水平的影响。这是一项在伊朗大不里士综合医疗系统中进行的、采用随机、三盲、安慰剂对照临床试验,设计为析因设计,共纳入 120 名绝经后妇女。BMD 采用双能 X 线吸收法(DEXA)测定。将女性随机分为 4 组,每组 30 名参与者:(a)CUR(80mg)和 NS 安慰剂,(b)NS(1000mg)和 CUR 安慰剂,(c)CUR(80mg)和 NS(1000mg),以及(d)两种安慰剂(含微晶纤维素)。通过 qRT-PCR 测定血浆 miRNA-21、miRNA-422a 和 miRNA-503 的水平。基线时 miRNA 的表达水平相似。干预结束时,只有 miR-21 的表达水平在四组间有统计学差异(p=0.037),且 NS 组与安慰剂组间有统计学差异(p=0.005)。此外,NS 组(p=0.037)和 NS-CUR 组(p=0.043)的表达也显著增加。NS 和 NS-CUR 补充可以增加低骨密度绝经后妇女 miR-21 的表达水平,为进一步研究其靶点提供了新视角。
