Medical examination powers miR-194-5p as a biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis

Abstract: An important attribute of microRNAs is their potential use as disease biomarkers. However, such applications may be restricted because of unsatisfactory performance of the microRNA of interest. Owing to moderate correlation with spine T-score, miR-194-5p was identified as a potential biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis. Here, we determined whether medical examination could improve its characteristic as a biomarker for postmenopausal osteoporosis. We recruited 230 postmenopausal Chinese women to measure c… Show more

“…We believe that the critical evaluation of these miRNAs is an important preclinical step. So far, to our knowledge, the largest study to date on serum miRNA levels in osteoporosis was assessed in a cohort of 230 subjects overall, (47) whereas the average size in the other studies was roughly from 20 to 100. In addition to the aforementioned challenges, as yet there is no clear consensus on the most appropriate reference for normalization to adjust for serum miRNAs as detected by qRT-PCR in relative quantification.…”

“…However, six additional miRNAs were needed to achieve the same accuracy rate when using the MLR model. The MLR model is a widely used mathematical model that can be used to construct miRNA biomarker panels for the detection of various human diseases ( Ding et al, 2017 ). The NNC is a tandem mode of multiple small ANNs that generates a gradual gain in target information.…”

“…Their tissue-specific expression patterns give a valuable insight into particular tissue metabolisms, which further adds to their diagnostic potential. Consequently, both lncRNAs and miRNAs have emerged as precise and versatile potential biomarkers of numerous disorders such as Alzheimer's disease [111], breast cancer [112,113], gastric cancer [114], cardiovascular disease [95], and postmenopausal osteoporosis [115]. Additionally, due to their unique regulatory functions, the analysis of lncRNAs' and miRNAs' dysregulation has expanded our understanding of various conditions and their pathomechanisms.…”
