Circulating and Tissue Expression Profile of MicroRNAs in Primary Hyperparathyroidism Caused by Sporadic Parathyroid Adenomas.

ABSTRACT: We investigated the expression profile of selected microRNAs (miRs) in serum and tissue samples from patients with sporadic parathyroid adenomas (sPAs). This was a prospective, controlled cohort study. Forty patients with sPAs who had undergone parathyroidectomy (PTX) were included. MiR extraction was performed from (i) 40 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples (FFPEs) of sPAs, (ii) 10 FFPEs of normal parathyroid tissue (NPT), (iii) serum samples of the 40 patients with sPAs (t1 = baseline; t2 = 2 months post-PTX), and (vi) serum samples of 10 healthy individuals (controls; t1 = baseline and t2 = 2 months later). Ten miRs were selected based on their interaction with genes related to parathyroid tumorigenesis (miR-17-5p, miR-24-3p, miR-29b-3p, miR-31-5p, miR-135b-5p, miR-186-5p, miR-195-
