Expression profiles of microRNAs and transfer RNA-derived small RNAs in laser-induced choroidal neovascularization in mice.
The purpose of the study was to investigate the roles and possible functions of the miRNAs and tsRNAs in choroidal neovascularization (CNV).The mouse model of laser-induced CNV was conducted by laser photocoagulation and the samples were collected 7 days after laser treatment. The expression profiles of miRNAs and tsRNAs were accessed by small RNA sequencing in RPE-choroid-sclera complexes of mice in CNV group and controls. Our study identified differential expressions of miRNAs and tsRNAs in CNV model, and these altered miRNAs and tsRNAs might be novel potential targets in treating CNVs in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. Overall design: The mouse model of laser-induced CNV was conducted by laser photocoagulation. The expression profiles of miRNAs and tsRNAs were accessed by small RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) in RPE-choroid-sclera complexes of mice in CNV group and control group.
