Distinct miRNA gene expression profiles among the nodule tissues of lung sarcoidosis, tuberculous lymphadenitis and normal healthy control individuals
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Sarcoidosis and tuberculosis share similarities in clinical manifestations and histopathological features. We aimed to identify the microRNA (miRNA) profiles of the lymph nodes of individuals with sarcoidosis and of those with tuberculous lymphadenitis to investigate the value of miRNAs in the differential diagnosis of sarcoidosis and tuberculous lymphadenitis. The miRNA profiles of the lymph nodes of individuals with sarcoidosis, those with tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBLN) and controls were detected by miRNA microarray analysis in the age- and sex-matched development group of the controls (n=3), patients with TBLN (n=3) and patients with sarcoidosis (n=3), and the results were validated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in the validation group of the controls (n=30), TBLN (n=30) and patients with sarcoidosis (n=31). The relationship between miRNA expression and the clinical parameters of sarcoidosis was analyzed.
