Analysis of Argonaute 2–microRNA complexes in ex vivo stored red blood cells
20 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Human enucleated mature red blood cells (RBCs) contain both mature microRNAs (miRNAs) and mRNAs, and we have previously correlated RBC storage lesion processes such as eryptosis, adenosine 5'-triphosphate loss, and RBC indices with differentially expressed miRNAs. Here we have characterized Argonaute 2 (AGO2)-miRNA complexes in stored mature RBCs as a first step toward understanding their role, if...
