摘要: 微小核糖核酸(microRNA,miRNA)是一类长度为18~24个核苷酸的内源性非编码小分子RNA,其表达具有高保守性、时序性和组织特异性。miRNA不易被RNA酶降解,对温度、酸碱度等环境因素的变化有较强的抵抗性,在腐败组织中也能检测出来。因此,miRNA在法医学体液来源鉴定、死亡原因推断等方面具有广阔的应用前景。本文就miRNA作为在体液鉴定、死亡时间推断以及死亡原因分析等法医学实践中的应用进行简要综述。

Abstract: MicroRNA (miRNA) belongs to a class of endogenous non-coding small RNA molecules with a length of 18-24 nucleotides. The expression of miRNA is highly conservative, has time sequence and is highly tissue-specific. MiRNA could not be easily degraded by ribonuclease, and is resistant to changes in environmental factors such as temperature and pH value. Moreover, miRNA can even be detected in corrupt tissue. As a result, miRNA has broad application prospects in many fields of forensic medicine such as source identification of body fluid and estimation of cause of death. This article briefly summarizes the application of miRNA in forensic practice, such as body fluid identification, determination of postmortem interval and cause of death analysis.
