Serum-Derived Neuronal Exosomal microRNAs as Stress-Related Biomarkers in an Atopic Dermatitis Model.

ABSTRACT: Chronic allergic inflammatory skin disease-atopic dermatitis (AD)-is characterized by eczema, pruritus, xeroderma, and lichenification. Psychological stress is one cause of this disease; however, psychological stress will also result from the presence of AD symptoms. Previous studies have shown that psychological stress triggers neuroinflammation in the brain, where microRNAs (miRNAs) in the neuronal exosomes (nEVs) were analyzed to identify the composition of the miRNAs in the nEVs and how they were altered by AD. In this study, the AD model was induced by treatment with 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB). The expression patterns of neuroinflammation markers, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor, cyclooxygenase-2, and glial fibrillary acidic protein, were subsequently evaluated over time. Among these groups, there was a significant difference in DNCB 14 days expression compared with the control; therefore, nEVs were isolated from serum and next-generation sequencing was performed. The results demonstrate that 9 miRNAs were upregulated and 16 were downregulated in the DNCB 14 days compared with the control. Previous studies have shown that some of these miRNAs are associated with stress and stress-induced depression, which suggests that the miRNAs in nEVs may also be stress-related biomarkers.

Serum-Derived Neuronal Exosomal miRNAs as Biomarkers of Acute Severe Stress.

Project description:Stress is the physical and psychological tension felt by an individual while adapting to difficult situations. Stress is known to alter the expression of stress hormones and cause neuroinflammation in the brain. In this study, miRNAs in serum-derived neuronal exosomes (nEVs) were analyzed to determine whether differentially expressed miRNAs could be used as biomarkers of acute stress. Specifically, acute severe stress was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats via electric foot-shock treatment. In this acute severe-stress model, time-dependent changes in the expression levels of stress hormones and neuroinflammation-related markers were analyzed. In addition, nEVs were isolated from the serum of control mice and stressed mice at various time points to determine when brain damage was most prominent; this was found to be 7 days after foot shock. Next-generation sequencing was performed to compare neuronal exosomal miRNA at day 7 with the neuronal exosomal miRNA of the control group. From this analysis, 13 upregulated and 11 downregulated miRNAs were detected. These results show that specific miRNAs are differentially expressed in nEVs from an acute severe-stress animal model. Thus, this study provides novel insights into potential stress-related biomarkers.

Serum exosomal microRNAs as novel biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:Recent studies have shown that circulating microRNAs are a potential biomarker in various types of malignancies. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using serum exosomal microRNAs as novel serological biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We measured the serum exosomal microRNAs and serum circulating microRNAs in patients with CHB (n=20), liver cirrhosis (LC) (n=20) and HCC (n=20). Serum exosomal microRNA was extracted from 500 μl of serum using an Exosome RNA Isolation kit. The expression levels of microRNAs were quantified by real-time PCR. The expression levels of selected microRNAs were normalized to Caenorhabditis elegans microRNA (Cel-miR-39). The serum levels of exosomal miR-18a, miR-221, miR-222 and miR-224 were significantly higher in patients with HCC than those with CHB or LC (P<0.05). Further, the serum levels of exosomal miR-101, miR-106b, miR-122 and miR-195 were lower in patients with HCC than in patients with CHB (P=0.014, P<0.001, P<0.001 and P<0.001, respectively). There was no significant difference in the levels of miR-21 and miR-93 among the three groups. Additionally, the serum levels of circulating microRNAs showed a smaller difference between HCC and either CHB or LC. This study suggests that serum exosomal microRNAs may be used as novel serological biomarkers for HCC.

Profiling of serum and urinary microRNAs in children with atopic dermatitis.

Project description:BackgroundAtopic dermatitis (AD) is the most prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease in children characterized by dermatitis and pruritus. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown as great potential biomarkers for disease fingerprints to predict prognostics. We aimed to identify miRNA signature from serum and urine for the prognosis of AD patient by genome-wide miRNA profiling analysis.MethodsSerum and urine from 30 children with AD and 28 healthy children were collected and their genome-wide miRNA expression profiles were measured by TaqMan-based array and confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR. Inflammatory factors in serum were detected by Antibody Array System.ResultsmiR-203 and miR-483-5p were significantly up-regulated in serum of children with AD compared with healthy children. The level of miR-483-5p in serum was significantly associated with other atopic conditions, such as rhinitis and/or asthma. However, miR-203 was markedly decreased in urine of children with AD compared with healthy children. Down-regulated miR-203 in urine was significant associated with abnormal level of serum IgE in AD patients. 7 inflammatory factors in serum were altered in children with AD compared with healthy children. Up-regulated miR-203 in serum was significantly associated with increased sTNFRI and sTNFRII.ConclusionsUp-regulated miR-483-5p in serum may be indicative of other atopic conditions in children with AD. Down-regulated miR-203 in urine may serve as a biomarker for the severity of inflammation in children with AD.

Serum Exosomal MicroRNAs as Potential Circulating Biomarkers for Endometriosis.

Project description:BackgroundA reliable noninvasive biomarker is not yet available for endometriosis diagnosis. Novel biomarkers for the diagnosis of endometriosis are urgently needed. The molecular constituents of exosomes, especially exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs), have considerable potential as novel biomarkers for clinical diagnosis. This study is aimed at exploring aberrant exosomal miRNA profiles by using miRNA microarray and at providing more accurate molecular biomarkers of endometriosis.MethodsExosomes were isolated from the serum of patients with endometriosis and negative controls and identified by electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis, and Western blot. Exosomal miRNAs were profiled by miRNA microarrays. The expression of selective serum exosomal miRNA was validated by qRT-PCR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were established to explore the diagnostic value of selective miRNAs. Finally, GO annotation and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses were used to display possible functions associated with the two miRNAs.ResultsA total of 24 miRNAs showed differential levels of enrichment with P < 0.05 and |log2 fold change| > 1 by miRNA microarrays. Among the six selective miRNAs (i.e., miR-134-5p, miR-197-5p, miR-22-3p, miR-320a, miR-494-3p, and miR-939-5p), qRT-PCR analysis revealed that miR-22-3p and miR-320a were significantly upregulated in serum exosomes from patients with endometriosis compared with negative individuals. ROC curve revealed that the serum exosomal miR-22-3p and miR-320a yielded the area under the curve values of 0.855 and 0.827, respectively.ConclusionOur results demonstrated that exosomal miR-22-3p and miR-320a were significantly increased in the sera of patients with endometriosis. The two miRNAs may be useful potential biomarkers for endometriosis diagnosis.

Exosomal MicroRNAs in Serum as Potential Biomarkers for Ectopic Pregnancy.

Project description:DesignFrom July 2016 to June 2018, 36 women with symptomatic early pregnancy around 4-8 weeks of gestation were recruited into the study. Among them, there were 16 women with viable intrauterine pregnancy (VIP), 9 women with spontaneous abortion (SA), and 11 women of EP. Serum exosomal miRNAs were extracted and measured at the first prenatal visit. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the clinical utility of these biomarkers as single markers and as multimarker panels for EP.ResultsConcentrations of miR-378d in serum exosomes were significantly higher in EP than in VIP and also SA group. As a single marker, miR-378d had the highest specificity of 64% at the sensitivity of 89.1%. Comparatively, both combined panels of hCG, progesterone, miR-100-5p and hCG, progesterone, and miR-215-5P yielded the specificity of 96%. Panels for all markers achieved the highest specificity of 80% at the sensitivity of 91%.ConclusionsAlthough further validation in large-scale prospective studies is necessary, our results suggest that serum exosomal miR-378d, miR-100-5p, and miR-215-5P are promising biomarkers for early EP.

Sets of serum exosomal microRNAs as candidate diagnostic biomarkers for Kawasaki disease.

Project description:Although Kawasaki disease is the main cause of acquired heart disease in children, no diagnostic biomarkers are available. We aimed to identify candidate biomarkers for diagnosing Kawasaki disease using serum exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs). Using frozen serum samples from a biobank, high-throughput microarray technologies, two-stage real-time quantitative PCR, and a self-referencing strategy for data normalization, we narrowed down the list of biomarker candidates to a set of 4 miRNAs. We further validated the diagnostic capabilities of the identified miRNAs (namely, CT(miR-1246)-CT(miR-4436b-5p) and CT(miR-197-3p)-CT(miR-671-5p)) in 79 samples from two hospitals. We found that this 4-miRNA set could distinguish KD patients from other febrile patients as well as from healthy individuals in a single pass, with a minimal rate of false positives and negatives. We thus propose, for the first time, that serum exosomal miRNAs represent candidate diagnostic biomarkers for Kawasaki disease. Additionally, we describe an effective strategy of screening for biomarkers of complex diseases even when little mechanistic knowledge is available.
