Association of Epression with the Level of MicroRNA in Plasma and Mononuclear Cells in Patients with Schizophrenia / 现代检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance ot the expression ot microRNA in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with schizophrenia.Methods 174 patients with schizophrenia in Danzhou People 's Hospital were selected as the case group and the other 80 healthy persons as control group The relative expression levels of 8 microRNA in two groups of plasma and pcripheral blood mononuclear cells were detected by real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR(MiR-195,MiR-346,MiR-181b,MiR-212,MiR-30e,MiR-432,MiR 7,MiR-34a),and the differences of microRNA in the plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were compared between the two groups.ROC curve was used to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of microRNA as diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and Logistic regression analysis of the relative risk of microRNA in schizophrenia.Results The expression levels of MiR-195,MiR-181b,MiR-132,MiR-30e,MiR-7 and in the patients of the case group(3.11±1.05,2.18±0.72,1.85±0.74 and 9.61±1.87) were significantly higher than those in the control group(4.48±1.07,2.92±0.86,3.53±1.07 and 11.96±2.73,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).The expression levels of MiR-181b,MiR-212,MiR-30e and MiR-34a in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients in the case group (-4.20±1.16,0.27 ±0.55,-4.83± 1.05 and 2.64± 1.08) were significantly higher than those in control group (-3.56±0.81,0.91±0.68,-3.49±1.22 and 3.95±1.03,P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that plasma MiR-181b and MiR-30e were significantly relative risk (OR=2.357,95 ％ CI1.361 ～ 4.093;OR=2.064,95 ％ CI1.147～3.815),and peripheral blood mononuclear cells MiR-30e also had significant relative risk (OR=1.628,95 ％CI0.914～2.926).ROC curve analysis showed that 95％CI and AUC in plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of MiR-181b were 0.702 (0.784～0.632),0.658 (0.593 to 0.736),and plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cell of MiR-30e were 0.775 (0.706～0.857),0.758 (0.686～0.839),respectively.Spearman correlation analysis showed that plasma MiR 181b and plasma MiR-30e were significantly correlated (r=0.547,P =0.043).Conclusion Abnormal expression of microRNA in patients with schizophrenia,and plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells MiR-181b and MiR-30e had good diagnostic value for schizophrenia patients.
