Longitudinal miRNA sequencing study of HIV/HCV patients after HCV eradication with direct-acting antiviral (DAAs)

ABSTRACT: We have carried out a longitudinal study of PBMC's miRNA profile in HIV/HCV coinfected patients (n=28) after HCV eradication with DAA and SVR achivement. HIV monoinfected patients (n=16) were used as control. Briefly, peripheral venous blood samples were collected in EDTA tubes, and PBMCs were isolated within the first 4 hours after extraction.Total RNA including miRNAs were isolated from PBMCs with the miRNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen). Quality and integrity were evaluated by the Bioanalyzer 2100 with Agilent RNA 6000 Nano kit (Agilent). Only those samples with RIN > 7.5 were sequenced. Small RNA library synthesis and sequencing were performed at Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG) at Barcelona (Spain). Small RNA libraries were constructed with Illumina’s TruSeq Small RNA kit v.4 (Illumina) and
