Abstract:

AIM:To detect the distribution of miR-148a level in Chinese people's plasma, and to explore the different expression level of miR-148a in plasma between healthy subjects and hyperlipidemia patients.   METHODS: According to the clinical trial scheme, plasma samples of 52 patients with hyperlipidemia and 77 cases of healthy subjects were collected. RT-qPCR was used to determine the expression of miR-148a level. Shapiro-Wilk test as a way of normality test to the experimental data. Two independent sample t-test or one-way ANOVA was used to analyze the difference between groups. RESULTS:129 cases of subjects were quartile grouped by miR-148a level, and the △Ct of miR-148a were 1.65±0.80,3.91±0.64,5.68±0.61 and 8.21±1.16, respectively. The difference between groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Whereas, the △Ct of miR-148a of the healthy subjects group and patients with hyperlipidemia group were 4.81±2.75 and 4.84±2.26, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: The expression of miR-148a in Chinese people's plasma is normally distributed, and the difference between four groups is statistically significant. There is no difference between healthy subjects group and patients with hyperlipidemia group, suggesting that miR-148a may not relate to hyperlipidemia.
