Abstract:

Objective To investigate the change and significance of serum microRNA (miR)-520g in preeclampsia among pregnant patients. Methods Serum cycling miR was extracted from 30 patients with preeclampsia and 30 healthy pregnant women at early, middle and late pregnant stages. The expression of miR-520g was determined by quantitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(PCR), and the difference between the 2 groups was analyzed statistically. Results MiR-520g increased with pregnant days in healthy pregnant group. MiR-520g in early pregnant stage of preeclampsia group increased comparing with that of healthy pregnant group, whereas no significant difference was observed in middle and late pregnant stages between preeclampsia group and healthy pregnant group. Conclusions Serum miR-520g in early pregnant stage may be a potential biomarker for the prediction of preeclampsia.
