Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the expression pattern of 14 innate immunity related microRNAs ( miRNAs) in brucellosis patients.Methods:By using Real time PCR assay, expression levels of 14 miRNAs in serum samples from brucellosis patients and healthy volunteers were analyzed.Results: Of the 14 miRNAs tested, 13 showed decreased expression in brucellosis patients.And significant Ct differences over one were observed for nine of the miRNAs.In them,five miRNAs,including miR-122,miR-145a,miR-155,miR-301a and miR-146a levels significantly decreased in brucellosis patients (P<0.01).Conclusion:Decreased serum levels of miR-122,miR-145a,miR-155,miR-301a and miR-146a are confirmed and may serve as novel biomarkers for human brucellosis diagno-sis.
