Circulating miRNAs appear promising therapeutic and prognostic biomarkers. We aimed to investigate the predictive value of circulating miRNAs on the disease outcome following anti-TNF therapy in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Our study included 19 AS patients assessed at baseline (M0), after three (M3) and twelve months (M12) of therapy. Total RNA was isolated from plasma. A comprehensive analysis of 380 miRNAs using TaqMan Low Density Array (TLDA) was followed by a single assay validation of selected miRNAs. All AS patients had high baseline disease activity and an excellent response to anti-TNF therapy at M3 and M12. TLDA analysis revealed the dysregulation of 17 circulating miRNAs, including miR-145. Single assay validation confirmed that miR-145 is significantly downregulated at M3 compared to baseline. The decrease in the levels of miR-145 from M0 to M3 negatively correlated with the change in BASDAI from M0 to M3; and positively correlated with disease activity improvement from M3 to M12 as per BASDAI and ASDAS. The predictive value of the early change in miR-145 and levels of miR-145 at M3 were further validated by Receiver operating curves analysis. We show thatthe early change in circulating miR-145 may be a predictor for the future outcome ofAS patients treated with TNF inhibitors. Patients with a more significant decrease in miR-145 levels may show further significant improvement of disease activity after 12 months. Monitoring the expression of miR-145 in plasma in AS patients may, therefore, influence our therapeutic decision-making.
