MicroRNAs as Biomarkers for Ulcerative Colitis
摘要
The integration of bioinformatics and molecular biology has advanced the search for biomarkers in several diseases. In this study, we searched for possible microRNA biomarkers related to Ulcerative Colitis, a chronic and progressive immune-mediated inflammatory condition characterized by inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Starting from a set of public datasets, we collect a set of miRNAs and analyze the possible interactions between miRNAs, their target genes, and the associated enriched pathways, related in particular to inflammation and oxidative stress.
