Centrifugation: an important pre-analytic procedure that influences plasma microRNA quantification during blood processing
Circulating microRNAs are robustly present in plasma or serum and have become a research focus as biomarkers for tumor diagnosis and prognosis. Centrifugation is a necessary procedure for obtaining high-quality blood supernatant. Herein, we investigated one-step and two-step centrifugations, two centrifugal methods routinely used in microRNA study, to explore their effects on plasma microRNA qu...
متن کاملPre-storage centrifugation conditions have significant impact on measured microRNA levels in biobanked EDTA plasma samples
BACKGROUND In the past few years, an increasing number of studies have reported the potential use of microRNAs (miRNA) as circulating biomarkers for diagnosis or prognosis of a wide variety of diseases. There is, however, a lack of reproducibility between studies. Due to the high miRNA content in platelets this may partly be explained by residual platelets in the plasma samples used. When colle...
متن کاملAnalytic methods for bilirubin in blood plasma.
A critical evaluation of existing colorimetric and spectrophotometric methods for the determination of bilirubin in blood plasma is presented. The stoichiometric equivalencesof the reagents used in the diazo coupling reaction are re-evaluated. The elimination of turbidity is discussed,as well as methods using diazo-coupling promoters. Recommendationsare made concerning the preservation of speci...
متن کاملHsa-miR-34b is a plasma-stable microRNA that is elevated in pre-manifest Huntington's disease.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating, neurodegenerative condition, which lacks effective treatment. Normal Huntingtin (HTT) and mutant Huntingtin (mHTT) are expressed in multiple tissues and can alter transcription of microRNAs (miRs). Importantly, miRs are present in a bio-stable form in human peripheral blood plasma and have recently been shown to be useful biomarkers in other diseases....
متن کاملAn invariant analytic orthonormalization procedure with applications
We apply the orthonormalization procedure previously introduced by two of us and adopted in connection with coherent states to Gabor frames and other examples. For instance, for Gabor frames we show how to construct g(x) ∈ L2(R) in such a way the functions gn(x) = e 1g(x+an2), n ∈ Z2 and a some positive real number, are mutually orthogonal. We discuss in some details the role of the lattice nat...
