Childhood resolution of early abnormal miRNA following neonatal encephalopathy.

ABSTRACT: Neonatal Encephalopathy (NE) is a clinical syndrome presenting as neurological dysfunction. Persistent dysregulated Inflammation is associated with NE and miRNA biomarkers may correlate with developmental outcomes. We investigated miR-20a, miR-20b, miR-93 and miR-532 expression at birth and childhood following Neonatal Encephalopathy (NE) as potential biomarkers of inflammation, brain development, and long-term outcomes. Blood samples were collected from neonates with NE (week 1 of life) and children post-NE (2-5 years of age) and compared to age-matched controls (Neonatal and paediatric). Whole blood was stimulated ex-vivo with lipopolysaccharide, and total RNA was extracted from serum. MiR-20a, miR-20b, miR-93 and miR-532 were identified by TaqMan^® Advanced miRNA Assays. Forty
