Popis: Background/aim It has been found that microRNAs (miRNA) affect rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathophysiology. This study aimed to identify novel serum exosomal miRNAs related to RA disease activity in patients with an inadequate treatment response. Patients and methods The sample population comprised clinical remission (CR) and non-clinical remission (non-CR) groups of RA patients. To identify potent miRNA markers for RA disease activity, miRNA array and qPCR were performed after patient serum exosomes preparation. Results Has-miR-1915-3p and has-miR-6511b-5p were significantly higher in the serum exosomes of the CR group. The level of serum C-reactive protein (CRP) was negatively correlated with has-miR-1915-3p level in serum exosomes. Conclusion Has-miR-1915-3p may be a potential marker for Korean RA disease activity.
