Abstract: AIMS: We aimed to characterize relationship between the expression profiles of platelet miR-96, miR-126 and miR-223 and platelet function examination in patients with sticky platelet syndrome (SPS) and in healthy controls.
BACKGROUND: MicroRNAs (miRNA, miR) are a group of small and non-coding RNAs involved in many mechanisms as regulators of post-transcriptional protein expression in platelets. SPS is defined as platelet hyperaggregability after administration of low doses of adenosine diphosphate and/or epinephrine. Clear genetic abnormality of this syndrome is not known yet.
METHODS: We examined 45 patients with SPS and 30 healthy volunteers. For functional platelet examination we used light transmission aggregometry, and qRT-PCR was used to determine the expression of the miRNAs.
RESULTS: We observed no relationship of the platelet miRNA expression with functional platelet examination in the entire cohort of patients with SPS. However, in a group of patients with SPS and pregnancy complications, we found that the expression of platelet miR-96 (p = 0.009) was up-regulated.
CONCLUSION: In spite of the multiple limitations of the study, it can be considered that the increased expression of platelet miR-96 found in a group of patients with SPS and pregnancy complications could be related to the hyperaggregability in these selected patients (Tab. 2, Ref. 31).
