MicroRNA identification in plasma and serum: a new tool to diagnose and monitor diseases

Cortez, Maria Angelica, Calin, George Adrian·2009·Expert Opinion on Biological Therapy

Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression at the posttranscriptional level by degrading or blocking translation of messenger RNA (mRNA) targets. MiRNAs play important regulatory roles in a variety of cellular functions as well as in several diseases, including cancer. MiRNA-specific expression profiles have been reported for several pathological conditions. Recently, the discovery of miRNAs in serum opens up the possibility of using miRNAs as biomarkers of disease. In this review, we discuss the potential use of miRNAs as clinically diagnostic biomarkers of various cancers and other diseases as well as the approaches used to detect these molecules in serum and plasma.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
