MicroRNA expression in Mestenteric lymph samples from rat models of acute pancreatitis

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs in body fluids are becoming interesting markers for disease state. Here we assessed their presence in Mesenteric Lymph to identify candidate biomarkers for pancreatitis using a rat model of the disease. We used Affymetrix microRNA arrays to assess the differences in mesenteric lymph fluid miRNAs in a taurocholate induced rat model of pancreatitis Mesenteric lymph was collected from five biological replicates from control sham operated animals (SHAM), fluid resuscitated taurocholate induced acute pancreatitis (RAP) and non-resuscitated taurocholate induced pancreatitis animals (AP). The latter group represent a more severe form of the disease.
