Expression of miRNA in exosomes from transudative pleural effusion and tuberculous pleural effusions


ABSTRACT: Pleural fibrosis is defined as an excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM) that results in destruction of the normal pleural tissue architecture and compromised function. However there is currently no effective medication for pleural fibrosis. Understanding the detailed mechanisms of pleural fibrosis is an important unmet need which could lead to the identification of new targets for treatment of this condition. microRNAs (miRNAs) play an important role in the posttranscriptional control of gene expression. In our study, cellular fractions from TBPE contained activities capable of promoting fibrosis-like behavior in pleural mesothelial cells (PMCs), the goal of this study is to compare the exosomal miRNA composition of TBPE and TPE. We isolated exosomes from transudative pleural effusion and tuberculous pleural effusions and performed miRNA sequencing. Our study represents the first detailed analysis of exosomal miRNA composition of TBPE and TPE with biologic replicates, generated by miRNA-Seq technology.
