Circulating exosomal microRNAs contribute to the antimigraine effects of acupuncture
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We conducted this study to determine whether exosome regulation underlies the antimigraine mechanisms of acupuncture. By comparing serum samples from patients with migraine and healthy controls using high-throughput small RNA sequencing technology , we identified 705 exosomal microRNAs that are differentially expressed in patients with migraine, and this set of 705 microRNAs included five that are particularly well characterised (hsa-miR-369-5p, hsa-miR-1268b, hsa-miR-145-5p, hsa-miR-222-5p, and hsa-miR-4488). By comparing serum samples collected from patients with migraine before and after acupuncture treatment, we showed that acupuncture normalised the expression levels of those five well-characterised exosomal microRNAs.
