MicroRNA-122 (miR-122) is a hepatocyte-specific microRNA biomarker for drug-induced liver injury (DILI). We developed a single molecule, dynamic chemical labeling (DCL) assay to directly detect miR-122 in blood. The DCL assay specifically measured miR-122 directly from 10 μL of serum or plasma without any extraction steps, with a limit of detection of 1.32 pM that enabled the identification of DILI. Testing of 192 human serum samples showed that DCL accurately identified patients at risk of DILI after acetaminophen overdose (area under ROC curve 0.98 (95% CI; 0.96-1), P YR 2020 FD 2020-01-27 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10668/28411 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10668/28411 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 5, 2025
