Comprehensive analysis of exosomal miRNA in type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis

We comprehensively analyzed the miRNA expression derived from serum exosomes using microarrays in patients with type 1 AIP (n = 10) in comparison to that in healthy adults (n = 10) and in patient with chronic pancreatitis. The high or low expression of miRNAs in microarray analysis were considered candidate biomarkers or related to the pathogenesis of disease. Serum exosome-derived miRNA expression was analyzed using microarrays in type 1 AIP patients (n = 10), healthy adults (n = 10) and chronic pancreatits (n=10).
