Amplification primers of all miRNA markers can be purchased from the market, and the primers of the circulating blood exosome miRNA markers used in the embodiment of the invention are specific miRNA stem-loop PCR primers synthesized and produced by Guangzhou multifunctional gene Co.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: compared with the traditional detection of free miRNA in peripheral blood, the exosome as a representative of a novel biomarker has the characteristics of good stability, high sensitivity and high specificity. The phospholipid bilayer of the exosome enables molecules in the exosome not to be easily damaged, can exist in body fluid relatively stably, is low in external interference, and can be used as a marker which is more accurate and stable. In addition, exosomes are produced by the endoplasmic reticulum of donor cells, and are not produced by cell death disruption, and thus are more latent for markers than are blood free RNA. The application carries out rigorous and multistage verification and evaluation on the differential expression miRNA in the retinal vein occlusion and the serum and the plasma of a control group, and confirms the reliability and the repeatability of the group of miRNA as a noninvasive marker for diagnosing the retinal vein occlusion, the detection material of the peripheral blood exosome is convenient, the detection cost is low, and the miRNA can be used as an ideal auxiliary diagnosis method. The invention provides a new research direction for diagnosing retinal vein obstruction.

Centrifuging RNA Column at room temperature for 1 min at 12000 × g in a volume of no more than 700 μ L each time, discarding the liquid in the collection tube, continuing to use Column, adding the rest mixed solution into Column again, centrifuging, and repeating for multiple times until the mixed solution passes through the Column completely.
(4) Washing the membrane: wash buffer I500. mu.L, 12000 Xg, was added to the Column, centrifuged at room temperature for 30 seconds, and the liquid in the collection tube was discarded. Add Wash buffer II with pre-proportionedabsolute ethanol 500. mu.L, 12000 Xg to Column, centrifuge at room temperature for 30 seconds, discard the liquid in the collection tube, repeat twice.

If the concentration is too low, the filtered liquid can be added into the filter membrane again for incubation for 5min, and the RNA concentration and purity are detected after centrifugation and collection again. Or pre-heating DEPC water in advance to increase RNA solubility.
RNA sequencing of plasma exosomes of RVO patients
RNA in plasma exosomes of 8 RVO patients is collected, reverse transcription is carried out to obtain cDNA, then non-specific PCR amplification is carried out, then Illumina HiSeq 2500 is used for miRNA high-throughput sequencing, a linker used in reverse transcription is removed, and a fragment of less than 17nt (provided by Guangzhou pluripotent Gene Co., Ltd.) is filtered. And comparing the obtained sequencing result with the existing miRNA sequencing data of the plasma exosomes of the cataract patient in a laboratory to obtain the miRNA with differential expression. The comparison results are tested by using an edgeR test tool, and the results show that the expression of 302 genes has significant difference with | log (fold change) | > 1 bit threshold value and P < 0.05, wherein the expression of 115 genes is up-regulated miRNA and the expression of 187 genes is down-regulated miRNA, and the results are shown in figure 1.
Prediction of target genes for differentially expressed mirnas
The action site of the miRNA is reversely predicted by complementary pairing of seed sequences of the miRNA, and then the detection of a predicted target is carried out by referring to the conservation type in miRNA species and the heat stability of miRNA-mRNA double strands. To reduce false positive results, the target gene sites were predicted using four tools, miRTarBase (carolina. imins. athena-innovation. gr/diana _ tool), Targetscan (Targetscan. org/vert _72), miRWALK (miRWALK. umun.uni-heidelberg. de), and miRDB (miRDB. org), and the target gene predicted site results of different software were mapped to Venn, and the target genes covered by at least three predicted results were taken as the target gene candidates for the miRNA. The candidate target genes are annotated for biological functions through Gene Ontology (GO) (FIG. 2A), and the high-frequency functional annotation of the candidate target genes relative to the background is analyzed to predict the biological effect caused by differential expression. The results show that the major functional regions of the action sites of the RVO patients differentially expressing mirnas compared to the control group are: apoptosis process, RNA synthesis process, cell proliferation regulation, cell migration under the stimulation of growth factors, endocytosis, Wnt pathway, cytokines and the like. In addition, there is some gene enrichment in nerve growth and new blood vessels. Meanwhile, enrichment analysis is carried out on the KEGG channel annotation to obtain a signal transduction and disease channel with statistical significance relative to the background, so that distribution information of a gene set possibly related to diseases on the KEGG type is predicted (fig. 2B). The results show that the several paths with the highest correlation are: axon guidance, biological metabolism, cancer, Wnt pathway, insulin resistance pathway, neurotrophic factor signaling pathway, and stem cell pluripotency modulating signals. In addition, AMPK signaling pathway and insulin receptor signaling pathway are also more gene-rich. The miRNA differentially expressed by the RVO patient is mainly involved in processes of apoptosis, endocytosis, cell proliferation, migration, angiogenesis and the like, which are consistent with pathological changes of the RVO.
Screening of exosome mirnas as RVO biomarkers
Selecting 20 miRNAs with high frequency occurrence from miRNAs related to RVO possible related biological processes and disease pathways, carrying out next screening verification, wherein 19 miRNAs comprise miR-146a-5p, miR-148a-3p, miR-24-3p, miR-221-3p, miR-28-3p, miR-652-3p, miR-532-5p, miR-223-5p, miR-148b-3p, miR-143-3p, miR-361-3p, miR-199a-3p, miR-7-5p, miR-382-5p, miR-27b-3p, miR-222-3p, miR-425-5p, miR-152-3p and miR-4326 are subjected to down-regulation, miR-378d expression is up-regulated.
We performed fluorescent quantitative PCR detection validation on these 20 differential mirnas. In peripheral blood samples of other RVO patients, total RNA of 20 RVO disease patients and 20 control groups of plasma exosomes are randomly extracted, and the 20 miRNA are quantitatively verified. Patient case baseline as shown in table 2, two sets of baseline were not different (t-test, p-0.5518). The results show that the quantitative PCR verification results of 20 miRNAs are consistent with the trend of the sequencing results and have significant differences (figure 3), and the quantitative PCR verification results can well distinguish cataract patients from RVO patients and can be used as potential biomarkers for RVO diagnosis.
