Circulating microRNAs as potential biomarkers of disease activity and structural damage in ankylosing spondylitis patients
8 Jan 2018
Abstract excerpt
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) remains difficult to diagnose before irreversible damage to sacroiliac joint is noticeable. Circulating microRNAs have demonstrated to serve as diagnostic tools for several human diseases. Here, we analysed plasma microRNAs to identify potential AS biomarkers. Higher expression levels of microRNA (miR)-146a-5p, miR-125a-5p, miR-151a-3p and miR-22-3p, and lower expression of miR-150-5p,...
