MicroRNA profiling of muscular dystrophies

ABSTRACT: In this study, we aim to identify common miRNA signatures in the pathogenesis of different NMD groups (Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Megaconial Congenital Muscular Dystrophy (CMD), Ullrich CMD and alpha-dystroglycanopathy) (abbreviated as D, M, U, and A, respectively) each caused by mutations in different genes encoding proteins with distinct roles. For this purpose, we isolated miRNAs from the skeletal muscle tissues of three patients from four disease groups and three control individuals (15 individuals in total) and we performed miRNA microarray method (Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA 4.0 Array). In order to find out differentially expressed miRNAs in patients, we analyzed raw data by two different databases. Differentially expressed miRNAs that were found to be statistically significant by using both the programs (with parameters, fold change ≥2.0 and FDR=0 for MeV-SAM analysis; and p<0.05 for TAC-ANOVA analysis) were identified as the potential miRNA candidates.
