Abstract
Objective: Methods: One hundred patients divided into two groups’ 50 responders and 50 non responders with 50 healthy individuals were studied. The serum expression ofmiRNA-5196 was detected by using real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: miRNA-5196 expression was significantly higher in rheumatoid arthritis patients versus control group P <0.05. Sub-group of patients into responders and non-responders showed that miRNA-5196 expression higher in non-responders than responders.miRNA-5196 expression related with response to TNF-α inhibitor and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusion: miRNA-5196 may consider as a valid target for monitoring progression of RA disease and response to TNF-α inhibitor therapy.
