Abstract

Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCLP) has been recognized as a condition resulting from a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Studies have demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in embryonic development. However, few studies have focused on screening potential target miRNAs in human NSCLP tissue. Using microarray-based miRNA expression profiling, miRNA expression was compared in tissue samples from 4 NSCLP patients and 4 healthy control subjects. Two hundred and fifty‑four miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed. Changes in Homo sapiens (hsa)-miR-24-3p, hsa‑miR‑27b‑3p, hsa‑miR‑205‑5p, hsa‑miR‑1260b and hsa‑miR‑720 were of particular interest with respect to Wnt signaling (fold‑changes were 12.5, 12.2, 12.1, 12.3 and 10.5, respectively; P<0.005 for all). The levels of hsa-miR-24-3p, hsa‑miR‑1260b and hsa‑miR‑205‑5p were higher in tissues from NSCLP patients than in those from controls according to PCR analysis. Hsa‑miR‑24‑3p, hsa‑miR‑1260b and hsa‑miR‑205‑5p may be candidate miRNAs involved in the etiology of NSCLP via Wnt signaling.
