Popis: Pre-eclampsia (PE), a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality, accounts for up to 14 % mortality of maternal and 18 % of fetal or infant mortalities. However, the pathogenesis process of PE remains unclear. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in the peripheral blood exosomes of early-onset PE patients versus healthy pregnant women using high-throughput sequencing, and to find candidate miRNAs as molecular markers. Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from five preeclamptic patients and five healthy women. Exosomal miRNAs were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq4000 sequencing platform. The target gene prediction, biological function enrichment, and signaling pathway prediction of the miRNAs with significant differences were carried out using the Starbase database software, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) databases, respectively. Our results showed 65 significantly differentially expressed miRNAs in the exosomes of early-onset PE patients compared to control group, with 17 up-regulated and 48 down-regulated (P
