Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) have important roles in inflammation and infections, which are common manifestations of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The present study aimed to assess whether serum miRNAs are potential diagnostic biomarkers for human ARDS. For this, two sets of serum samples from healthy individuals and patients with ARDS were analysed by high‑throughput sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes in ARDS. A total of 679 valid sequences were identified as differentially expressed (P<0.05). Of these, five differentially expressed miRNAs were subjected to reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR validation. Finally, two miRNAs (miR‑584 and miR‑146a) were successfully verified. These two miRNAs were significantly downregulated in the serum of patients with ARDS. Gene Ontology annotations and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis revealed that their target transcripts were implicated in a broad range of biological processes and various metabolic pathways, including involvement in the regulation of various inflammatory factors. The present study provided a framework for understanding the molecular mechanisms of ARDS and suggested that miR‑584 and miR‑146a are associated with ARDS and may be potential therapeutic targets.
