ABSTRACT: Background and purpose
MicroRNAs have recently been shown to regulate the downstream bioprocesses of intracerebral hemorrhage. The aim of this study was to investigate whether miRNAs can be used as biomarkers to predict secondary hematoma enlargement (HE) in patients with ICH.Methods
Consecutively, 79 ICH patients admitted within 6 h of symptom onset and 30 healthy individuals were enrolled in this study. Whole-genome miRNA expression profiles were generated in 32 patients (HE/non-HE: 14/18). Representative differentially expressed miRNAs were measured in all cases (HE/non-HE: 30/49) and normal controls (n = 30) by real-time PCR.Results
Thirty miRNAs showed differential expressions in the plasma samples from patients with HE as compared with the non-HE controls. Compared to the hierarchical cluster analysis with all probes on microarray, all patients were separated into two main branches with only four exceptions by 30 differentially expressed miRNAs, improving the overall accuracy from 47.62 to 77.78% in the HE and 72.73 to 100% in the non-HE group. Further support vector machine (SVM) test can discriminate the two groups with 100% accuracy with 10 differentially expressed miRNAs.Conclusions
We demonstrated that multiple miRNAs are differentially expressed in the plasma of ICH patients with or without HE and may serve as circulating biomarkers for predicting HE after ICH.
