Prognosis associated microRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) [miRNA]

Genome wide microRNA profiling in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chronic liver failure (HBV-ACLF) patients of in different prognoses of 28-day. The Agilent Human miRNA Microarray Kit was used to obtain RNA profiles in 8 survival patients and 8 dead patients in 28-day. To identify short term prognosis associated microRNAs and comprehensively understand their underlying pathologic mechanism, we compared Agilent Human miRNA Microarray data from PBMCs of 16 HBV-ACLF patients (8 survival cases and 8 dead controls in 28-day).
