Evaluation of microRNA let-7b-3p expression levels in methamphetamine abuse

Abstract: OBJECTIVE:In this study, we aimed to identify a microRNA expression signature that could be used to distinguish methamphetamine from control samples. We also utilized the existing bioinformatics tools in order to predict the candidate microRNAs that could play potential key roles in regulating drug addiction-related genes. METHODS: Methamphetamine samples from 21 ventral tegmental area and 21 nucleus accumbens samples and their control regions were obtained from the Council of Forensic Medicine (Istanbul).

“…Demirel et al [118] studied samples of the ventral tegmental area and nucleus accumbens in postmortem human brain tissue from methamphetamine users. Through quantitative reverse transcription PCR, they found overexpression of miRNA let-7b-3p, which could be used as a diagnostic and therapeutic marker in methamphetamine addiction.…”
