Project description:MiRNA arrays were performed for the plasma exosomes of ESCC patients before treatment. The tumor regression grade of the primary tumor (TRG-PT) was used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Patients classified as Grade 3 were considered sensitive to CRT (n=4), while those classified as Grade 0 or 1a were considered resistant to CRT (n=4).
Project description:To identify the candidate exosomal miRNAs involved in ESCC metastasis, we conducted small RNA sequencing to determine the miRNA expression profiles of plasma exosomes from 5 LNM+ and 5 LNM- ESCC patients
Project description:microRNA profiles of Exosomes from Pooled NPC Patients serum comparing Control Exosomes from Healthy donors serum Two-condition experiment, Exosomes from Pooled Healthy donors serum vs. Exosomes from Pooled NPC Patients serum. Biological replicates: 1 Exosomes from Pooled Healthy donors serum, 1 Exosomes from Pooled NPC Patients serum,
Project description:Despite a significant progress in the treatment of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), our ability to identify early patients and predict outcome remains limited. In this study, we aimed to characterize small RNA content of plasma exosomes from ARDS patients in order to identify potential diagnostic biomarkers of the disease. For the first time, we profiled miRNA expression levels in plasma-derived exosomes from ARDS patients (n=8) compared to healthy subjects (n=10) by small RNA-seq. It allowed us to identify 12 exosomal miRNAs differentially expressed in ARDS context (padj<0.05).
Project description:More and more studies have showed that plasma exosomal miRNAs are biomarkers for disease. The aim of the study were to investigate the miRNA profiling in plasma exosomes of patients with segmental vitiligo (SV) and to find biomarkers in plasma exosomes for patients with SV. Plasma exosomes and exosomal RNA of 7 SV patients and 8 health persons were purified by exoRNeasy Serum/Plasma Maxi Kit. The miRNA profiles of the 15 samples were sequenced using HiSeq 2500 (Illumina) and analyzed by Reads Per Million (RPM) values and edgeR algorithm. Some differently expressed miRNAs in plasma exosomes and skin tissues of the two sets were validated by qRT–PCR.A total of 85 miRNAs in plasma exosomes showed differential expression between SV patients and health persons, with a |log2(Fold Change)|≥1 and P-value < 0.05. Several miRNAs were confirmed by qRT–PCR and showed similar expression patterns between plasma exosomes and skin tissues. Our study depict the miRNAs expression profiles in plasma exosomes of SV patients and suggest that several miRNAs in plasma exosomes may serve as biomarkers for SV.
Project description:In order to detect the expression profile of plasma microRNAs, we have employed microRNA microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify microRNAs with the potential to distinguish the different microRNA profiles from ESCC patients and healthy controls. Three pairs of plasma samples from ESCC patients and healthy controls without any digestive tract disease history were collected for microarray analysis.
Project description:More and more studies have showed that plasma exosomal miRNAs are biomarkers for disease. The aim of the study were to investigate the miRNA profiling in plasma exosomes of patients with non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) and to find biomarkers in plasma exosomes for patients with NSV. Plasma exosomes and exosomal RNA of 10 NSV patients and 10 health persons were purified by exoRNeasy Serum/Plasma Maxi Kit. The miRNA profiles of the 20 samples were sequenced using HiSeq 2500 (Illumina) and analyzed by Reads Per Million (RPM) values and edgeR algorithm. Some differently expressed miRNAs in plasma exosomes and skin tissues of the two sets were validated by qRT–PCR.Several miRNAs were confirmed by qRT–PCR and showed similar expression patterns between plasma exosomes and skin tissues. Our study depict the miRNAs expression profiles in plasma exosomes of NSV patients and suggest that several miRNAs in plasma exosomes may serve as biomarkers for NSV.
Project description:Exosomes were isolated from plasma and saliva of healthy individuals and head and neck cancer (HNSCC) patients. miRNA profiling of plasma- and saliva-derived exosomes was performed using nCounter SPRINT system. Diagnostic panels were selected from the exosomal miRNA profile.
Project description:Stroke places a huge burden on society today, and great of studies were devoted for seeking safe and effective therapeutic strategy to improve the prognosis of stroke. Plasma exosome has exhibited its therapeutic potential against ischemia and reperfusion injury via ameliorating inflammation. To enhance therapeutic potential in patients with ischemic injury, we isolated exosomes from melatonin pretreated rat plasma and assessed the neurological protective effect in a rat model of focal cerebral ischemia. Treatment with melatonin enhanced plasma exosome therapeutic effect against ischemia induced inflammatory response and inflammasome mediated pyroptosis. In addition, we confirmed ischemic stroke induced pyroptotic cell death mainly occurred in microglia, while administration of melatonin treated exosome further effectively decreased infract volume and improved function recovery via regulation of TLR-4/NF-κB signaling pathway. Finally, the altered miRNAs profile in melatonin treated plasma exosomes demonstrated the regulatory mechanisms. This study suggests plasma exosome with melatonin pretreatment might be a more effective strategy for patients with ischemic brain injury. Further exploration of key molecules in plasma exosome may devote more therapeutic value for cerebral ischemic injury.
