- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 儿科 儿科 儿科
背景情况:
- 复合人体生长激素 (GH) 治疗的疗效在生长激素缺乏症 (GHD) 的患者中有所不同.
- 对个体GH治疗敏感性的预测生物标志物至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 在GH治疗期间研究循环微RNAs (miRNAs) 在生长板调节中的作用.
- 在患有GHD的青春期前儿童中建立与GH响应相关的miRNA面板.
主要方法:
- 16名患有GHD的青春期前儿童每天接受重组GH,持续6个月.
- 在多个时间点使用数字PCR测量了六种特定miRNA的循环水平.
- 同时收集了包括身高,体重和生长速度在内的临床数据.
主要成果:
- 所有测量的miRNAs在1个月和6个月显著增加,在3个月短暂下降.

MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA ends...
