Development of microRNA expression signatures for Buyang Huanwu decoction in treating intracerebral hemorrhage

To identify the potential miRNA asscociated with Buyang Huanwu decoction (BYHWD) in treating intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), we have employed miRNA expression profiling. 126 and 38 miRNAs were identified in the ICH vs sham group and the BYHWD vs ICH group, respectively. Specifically, 15 DEmiRNAs were intersected among the three groups. Expression of 14 miRNA (miR-7b-5p, miR-770-3p,miR-760-3p, miR-376c-5p, miR-1224-5p, miR-298-5p, miR-541-3p, miR-344d-3-5p, miR-653-5p, miR-7a-5p, miR-6540-5p,miR-146a-5p, miR-375-3p, and miR-3962) from this signature was quantified by RT-qPCR. Mice were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=5): the Sham, ICH, and BYHWD-H groups. The gavage administration started on the 1st day after the surgery for 14 consecutive days. Brain samples were dectected at 14 d after ICH.
