Background: Previous studies showed that megakaryocytes from normal umbilical cord blood displayed some differences when cultured with or without immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) plasma. MicroRNA-146 level in megakaryocytes increased signi cantly after incubation with ITP plasma. Methods: The prognostic value of miR-146 in ITP was analyzed. Plasma samples were collected from 56 ITP cases and 30 healthy individuals. Megakaryocytes were isolated from bone marrow obtained from the 56 ITP patients and 15 bone marrow donors. Real-time quantita- tive PCR was employed to measure miR-146 expression in plasma and megakaryocytes. The co-relations between miR-146 level and clinicopathological characteristics of ITP patients were also evaluated. Results: MicroRNA-146 levels in plasma and megakaryocytes were signi cantly higher in samples from ITP patients compared with control values. What’s more, high miR-146 expression was closely correlated with platelet count, lymphocyte count, re- sponse to steroid, infection ratio and visceral hemorrhage ratio. Conclusion: Results indicate that miR-146 upregu- lation may serve as a novel molecular marker to predict unfavorable prognosis in ITP patients.
