Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of peripheral blood microRNA(miR)-21 and plasma poly(ADP - ribose) polymerase-1(PARP-1)in allergic rhinitis(AR)and combined allergic rhinitis and asthma syndrome(CARAS). Methods:Peripheral blood samples were collected from 44 CARAS patients,31 AR patients,and 42 healthy controls. The expression levels of miR-21 in peripheral blood were detected by RT-qPCR,and the plasma levels of PARP-1 protein were measured by ELISA. Correlation analysis was performed by rearson correlation analysis. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of miR- 21 and PARP-1 were determined by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve. Results:The expression of peripheral blood miR - 21 was high in CARAS patients compared with healthy controls. The level of PARP - 1 was higher in AR patients than that in CARAS patients and healthy controls. Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expiression of miR - 21 was correlated with eosinophils count in AR patients and with fractional nasal nitric oxide(FnNO)in CARAS patients. The plasma level of PARP-1 was correlated with forced expiratory volume in one second percent predicted(FEV1%pred)in CARAS patients and with FEV1%pred and forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)/forced vital capacity(FVC)(FEV1/FVC)in CARAS patients. ROC curve analysis showed that when peripheral blood miR-21 was used as a diagnostic marker for CARAS,the sensitivity was 51.35% and the specificity was 80.95%. When the plasma PARP -1 was used as a diagnostic marker for AR,the sensitivity was 90.32% and the specificity was 54.76%. When the plasma PARP-1 was used as a diagnostic marker for the progression from AR to CARAS,the sensitivity was 45.45% and the specificity was 90.32% . Conclusion:There are differential expressions of miR -21 and PARP -1 in peripheral blood of patients with AR and CARAS. the peripheral bolld miR -21 can serve as a diagnostic biomarker for CARAS,while the plasma PARP-1 can serve as a diagnostic biomarker for AR and as a biomarker for the progression from AR to CARAS. This has significant value in identifying diagnostic and therapeutic targets for AR and CARAS.
