Identification of miR-708-5p in peripheral blood monocytes: Potential marker for postmenopausal osteoporosis in Mexican-Mestizo population

ABSTRACT: This is the first study in which hsa-miR-708-5p has been identified in peripheral blood monocytes (osteoclast precursors) and associated with postmenopausal osteoporosis through small RNA-Sequencing, in an Admixed Mexican Mestizo population. By conducting in silico and bioinformatic analyzes, we identified target genes and important signaling pathways involved in bone metabolism pointing hsa-miR-708-5p as a candidate marker for osteoporosis in Mexican population. These approaches provide a landscape of the post-transcriptional regulation, which can be useful for the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis along with the potential use of microRNAs as markers for its early detection.
