MRX34 has recently entered the clinic as the first therapeutic product based on a microRNA (miRNA) mimic. In order to measure drug concentrations in vivo, a quantitation method is needed that exhibits high precision, accuracy, and robustness. While most clinical applications for oligonucleotide therapeutics involve methods based on hybridization assays and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a less well-described approach. Here, we present an RT, qPCR, and analysis method to determine the tissue biodistribution of endogenous as well as a therapeutic, exogenous miRNA mimic therapeutic. Assay performance is demonstrated on multiple tissues from nonhuman primates dosed with MRX34.

Cancer is a complex genetic disorder characterized by abnormalities in both coding and regulatory non-coding RNAs. microRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulatory non-coding RNAs that modulate cancer development, functioning as both tumor suppressors and oncogenes. miRNAs play critical roles in cancer progression, influencing key processes such as initiation, promotion, and metastasis.

MicroRNAs play a pivotal role in the regulation of adipose tissue function and have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates for the management of obesity and associated comorbidities. Among them, miR-1 could be a potential biomarker for metabolic diseases and contribute to metabolic homeostasis. However, thorough research is required to fully elucidate the impact of miR-1 on human adipocyte thermogenesis and metabolism.

Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are closely related to cardiovascular diseases, including chronic heart failure (CHF). Endothelial dysfunction can lead to heart failure. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of miR-1285-3p in CHF patients, with the aim of identifying a novel and effective biomarker for CHF.
