Özet
NAFLD is the most common cause of chronic liver disease worldwide. The miRNAs and lncRNAs are important endogenous ncRNAs families that can regulate molecular mechanisms. The aim of this study was to analyze the miRNA and lncRNA expression profiles in serum samples of NAFLD patients with different types of hepatosteatosis compared to healthy controls by the qPCR method. A total of180 NAFLD patients and 60 healthy controls were included. miRCURY LNA miRNA miRNome PCR human panel I + II kit and LncProfiler qPCR Array Kit were used to detect miRNA and lncRNA expression, respectively. DIANA miRPath and DIANA-lncBase web servers were used for interaction analysis. As a result, 75 miRNA and 24 lncRNA expression changes were determined. For miRNAs and lncRNAs, 30 and 5 were downregulated and 45 and 19 were upregulated, respectively. hsa-miR-21 was upregulated 2-fold whereas miR-197 was downregulated 0.25-fold. Among lncRNAs, NEAT1 was upregulated 2.9-fold while lncRNA MEG3 was downregulated 0.41-fold. A weak correlation was found between hsa-miR-122 and lncRNA MALAT1. As a conclusion, it is clear that lncRNA-miRNA interaction is involved in the molecular mechanisms of the emergence of NAFLD. The lncRNAs MEG3 and PTENP1 interacted with hsa-miR-21. It was thought that this interaction should be investigated as a biomarker for the development of NAFLD.
