technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to biomarkers, in particular to a serum miRNA biomarker composition and application. Background technique
[0002] miRNA, also known as microRNA, is a kind of single-stranded non-coding RNA composed of about 22 nucleotides, which mainly regulates the expression of target genes at the post-transcriptional level by direct cleavage of messenger RNA or indirect inhibition of translation. miRNAs have different expression patterns in different stages of individual development, such as cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, etc., and in different tissues, indicating that they play an important regulatory role in development and differentiation. The study of miRNA expression profiles in tissues has found that miRNAs have strong cell, tissue or disease specificity, and these specifically expressed miNRAs are not only the basis for their functional studies, but also good disease markers. Studies in recent years have shown ...
