Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine whether secreted microRNA (miRNA) in urine from osteoarthritis (OA) patients could be a novel diagnostic marker for OA. Three healthy subjects, 6 low grade OA patients and 6 severe OA patients were included. Vesicle was isolated from urine by ultra-centrifugation, and quantity of vesicle and miRNAs in urine were identified using microarray. Severe OA urine had large amount vesicle compared to healthy and low grade OA. miRNA-16, 24, 25 and let-7b in urine from low grade OA were highly expressed compared to healthy and severe OA. These results suggested that urine miRNA could be a novel diagnostic marker for OA diagnosis.
