NCT04574557 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 80

Last updated 2020-10-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

* Epidemiological study of NAFLD, NASH patients.
* Descriptions of altered miRNA profiles in NAFLD patients especially with fibrosis. - Explore the role of circulating miRNAs as biomarkers for the early diagnosis and evaluation of NAFLD patient with fibrosis.

Conditions

  • Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

micro RNA

miRNA was isolated from serum using a miRNeasy Mini Kit (Qiagen, Cat; 217004)cDNA was isolated from obtained miRNA samples using a miScript Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen, Cat; 218060) Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR) will be done using (miScript SYBR Green PCR Kit Qiagen Cat. No: 218073)The qPCR assays were performed in duplicate The relative expressions of Three miRNAs were selected for RT-PCR validation Two were selected from over-expressed miRNAs (miR-34a, miR-146b), one from under-expressed miRNAs (miR-122) were analyzed using the standard 2-ΔΔCT method. These miRNAs were selected due to their pathophysiological relation with NASH. Predicted gene targets of all differentially expressed miRNAs will be identified. Genes with functions that are potentially relevant to the pathogenesis of NASH and gene targets that are commonly studied e.g. lipogenesis (e.g. FAS), inflammation (c-JUN kinase) will be included in the study
