Abstract
Background: The pathophysiology of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is complicated and multifactorial, including platelet antibody formation and T cell imbalance. Emerging evidence has revealed differential miRNA expression in autoimmune disorders, including ITP. Nevertheless, the role of miR-106b-5p, miR-200c-3p, and miR-146a-5p in ITP remains unclear. Herein, we explored the potential role of these miRNAs in pediatric ITP and examined how their plasma levels influenced response to therapy.
Research design and methods: Three groups were recruited in this study: newly diagnosed ITP children (n = 25) in group I, chronic ITP children (n = 25) in group II, and normal controls (n = 25) in group III. Plasma levels of miR-106p-5p, miR-200c-3p, and miR-146a-5p were measured by polymerase chain reaction.
Results: MiR-106b-5p and miR-200c-3p were upregulated, whereas miR-146a-5p was downregulated in newly diagnosed and chronic ITP versus controls. MiR-200c-3p and miR-146a-5p were much higher in chronic ITP than newly diagnosed ITP. Lower miR-106b-5p levels were associated with complete response.
Conclusions: MiR-106b-5p and miR-200c-3p were elevated, while miR-146a-5p was suppressed in ITP versus controls. Reduced miR-106b-5p indicated a full response to therapy. These markers may be useful as diagnostic ITP biomarkers. Moreover, miR-106b-5p level can be used to monitor response to therapy and as a predictor for complete response.
期刊介绍:
Advanced molecular research techniques have transformed hematology in recent years. With improved understanding of hematologic diseases, we now have the opportunity to research and evaluate new biological therapies, new drugs and drug combinations, new treatment schedules and novel approaches including stem cell transplantation. We can also expect proteomics, molecular genetics and biomarker research to facilitate new diagnostic approaches and the identification of appropriate therapies. Further advances in our knowledge regarding the formation and function of blood cells and blood-forming tissues should ensue, and it will be a major challenge for hematologists to adopt these new paradigms and develop integrated strategies to define the best possible patient care. Expert Review of Hematology (1747-4086) puts these advances in context and explores how they will translate directly into clinical practice.
