MicroRNAs desempenhar um papel regulador importante e estão a emergir como novos alvos terapêuticos para várias doenças humanas. Tem sido demonstrado que miARNs são realizadas em lipoproteínas de alta densidade. Nós desenvolvemos um método simplificado para isolar rapidamente HDL purificada adequada para análise de miARN a partir de plasma humano.
Small non-coding RNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in a variety of human diseases including metabolic syndromes. They may be utilized as biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis or may serve as targets for drug development, respectively. Recently it has been shown that miRNAs are carried in lipoproteins, particularly high density lipoproteins (HDL) and are delivered to recipient cells for uptake. This raises the possibility that miRNAs play a critical and pivotal role in cellular and organ function via regulation of gene expression as well as messenger for cell-cell communications and crosstalk between organs. Current methods for miRNA isolation from purified HDL are impractical when utilizing small samples on a large scale. This is largely due to the time consuming and laborious methods used for lipoprotein isolation. We have developed a simplified approach to rapidly isolate purified HDL suitable for miRNA analysis from plasma samples. This method should facilitate investigations into the role of miRNAs in health and disease and in particular provide new insights into the variety of biological functions, outside of the reverse cholesterol transport, that have been ascribed to HDL. Also, the miRNA species which are present in HDL can provide valuable information of clinical biomarkers for diagnosis of various diseases.
MicroRNAs are endogenous non-coding tiny RNA species that are highly conserved and are considered key players in the regulation of various biological processes by degrading or repressing specific target messenger RNAs1. Because miRNAs act intracellularly they have been explored as tissue-derived biomarkers which led to the discovery of tissue-specific functions of these miRNA. However, miRNAs are also found extracellularly either associated with proteins or in exosomes/micro vesicles that effectively can shield them from degradation by extracellular RNases2. More recent studies have shown that the protective effect of HDL may not be closely linked to its capability to promote cholesterol efflux but rather to its non-cholesterol cargo, in particularly as a circulating miRNAs carrier 3, 4. These miRNAs may not only modulate lipid metabolism but are also associated with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antithrombotic effects of the HDL-miRNA complex 5, 6.
To further explore the role of miRNAs carried in HDL particles, a simple and easy protocol needs to be established for miRNA extraction from isolated highly purified HDL for use in clinical routine. Numerous methods have been described to isolate HDL. These methods are either very time consuming or require large volume of plasma that may require sample pooling, extensive dialysis for desalting isolated lipoproteins and they do not completely remove exosomes as a source of miRNAs3, respectively. Here we describe a simple and rapid method that can isolate miRNA from highly purified HDL utilizing small volume of blood samples on a larger scale. We believe that this method may serve as good reference to promote research into the role of circulating miRNAs and in particular the role of HDL in facilitating communication between various cells and organs.

Isolamento de lipoproteína de alta densidade após a remoção dos exossomas
Para obter a partir de miARN HDL altamente purificada é necessário remover exossomas que representam uma fonte de contaminação miARN 7. Isto foi feito antes de ultracentrifugação em gradiente de densidade com um kit disponível comercialmente. Para fins práticos um padrão de três passos protocolo de ultracentrifugação de gradiente de densidade desen...
A identificação de novos biomarcadores a partir de sangue irá ajudar no diagnóstico e prognóstico clínico de várias doenças. MicroRNAs têm conhecido por possuir todas as qualidades de biomarcadores e tem sido demonstrado em vários estudos 14-17. Neste estudo demonstrámos método fácil rápida e simples para isolar miARN de HDL no plasma. Densidade convencional gradiente método ultra-centrifugação de isolamento de VLDL, LDL e HDL depende amostragem exacta de plasma, preparação precisa da solu?...
