摘要

Methods

We quantified the expression levels of four miRNAs (hsa-miR-128-3p, hsa-miR-21-3p, hsa-miR-223-3p, and hsa-let-7a) in liver samples obtained during bariatric metabolic surgery from patients with obesity and healthy controls using qPCR. Expression was normalized to hsa-miR-24-3p, selected as the most stable reference gene in our cohort. Associations between miRNA levels and clinical or demographic variables (sex, AMPs) were also explored.

Results

Compared with controls, patients with obesity showed significant dysregulation of hsa-miR-128-3p and hsa-miR-223-3p, independent of histological liver alterations. No consistent changes were observed for hsa-miR-21-3p or hsa-let-7a. Clinical variables, including AMPs, did not account for the observed differences.

Conclusion

miR-128-3p and miR-223-3p are linked to obesity-related metabolic dysfunction and emerge as promising biomarkers or therapeutic targets.
