Background: Asthma is a complex, multifactorial, immune-mediated condition with a number of molecular immunopathological mechanisms underlying airway inflammation, hyper reactivity, and bronchial remodeling. MicroRNAs are important regulators in the pathogenesis and progression of chronic respiratory diseases, including bronchial asthma. Objective: The aim of the study is to investigate the level of expression of serum miR-1165-3p in allergic asthma and its correlation with serum IgE levels. Subjects and Methods: A case-control study was conducted on 30 allergic asthma cases and 20 healthy subjects as a control group. The level of expression miR-1165-3p was evaluated by qRT-PCR using the comparative threshold cycle (Ct) method. Serum total IgE levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results: miR-1165-3p and serum total IgE level were significantly upregulated and elevated, respectively, in asthmatic patients in comparison with control group. The area under the ROC curve of miR-1165-3p showed 0.988 (95% CI 0.967 to 1, P value < 0.001). Asthmatic patients showed a significant positive correlation between the expression level of miR-1165-3p and IgE levels (r =0.687, P <0.001). Conclusion: Serum miR-1165-3p along with serum total IgE are valuable biomarkers in predicting and diagnosing asthma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
