THE POSSIBLE ROLE OF MIR-1910-3P, MIR-4649-3P, MIR-4296, AND MIR-210 IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS: MAY MIR-4296 PLAY CRUCIAL ROLES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF ATOPIC DERMATITIS?

Objective Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with unexplained points in its pathogenesis. Altered expressions of microRNAs (miRNA, miR) in plasma can serve as markers that distinguish diseased individuals from healthy controls AD. In the present study, plasma expression levels of miR-1910-3p, miR- 4649-3p, miR-4296 and miR-210 were investigated in AD. Material and Method Forty patients with AD and forty healthy control subjects were included in the present study. Quantitative realtime PCR was used to measure miRNAs. Results The mean plasma miR-4296 level was higher in the patient group (p < 0.001). There was a significant negative correlation between SCORAD scores and miR-210 levels (r:-0.340, p=0.032). miR-210 levels decreased with increasing disease severity. In logistic regression analyses, an increase in plasma miR-4296 levels was found to be statistically significant (OR =5.464, p
