Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of microRNA(miR)-15b and miR-503 in peripheral blood in patients with depression and their relationship with cognitive function.Methods A total of 103 patients with depression admitted and diagnosed in Shaoxing Seventh People's Hospital from January 2023 to June 2024 were set as study group,and 94 healthy participants were selected as control group.The cognitive function of patients with depression was evaluated by Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA),and the patients in study group were divided into normal cognitive function group(n=68)and cognitive dysfunction group(n=35).Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation between the expression level of miR-15b,miR-503 and cognitive function;The diagnostic value of miR-15b and miR-503 for cognitive dysfunction in patients with depression was analyzed by using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results miR-15b and miR-503 in the peripheral blood of study group were lower than those of control group(P＜0.05),miR-15b and miR-503 in the peripheral blood of cognitive dysfunction group were lower than those of normal cognitive function group(P＜0.05),the scores of MoCA and mini-mental state examination in normal cognitive function group were higher than those in cognitive dysfunction group(P＜0.05);The results of Pearson analysis showed that the levels of miR-15b and miR-503 in peripheral blood of patients with depression were significantly positively correlated with MoCA scores(r=0.635,0.668,P＜0.05);The area under the curve(AUC)of miR-15b level alone in diagnosing cognitive dysfunction in patients with depression was 0.836(95％CI:0.750-0.902),the sensitivity and specificity were 77.14％and 89.71％respectively;The AUC of miR-503 level alone in diagnosing cognitive dysfunction in patients with depression was 0.892(95％CI:0.816-0.945),the sensitivity and specificity were 80.00％and 88.24％respectively;The AUC for the combined diagnosis of miR-15b and miR-503 was significantly greater than the AUC for miR-15b and miR-503 alone.Conclusion The expression of miR-15b and miR-503 is decreased in patients with depression,and they are of high diagnostic value for cognitive dysfunction in patients with depression.
