Can I rely on target prediction data bases without any experimental evidence to design a study of quantification miRNA in serum ?

I know miRNA that targeted a gene in rats and has been proven experimentally. The hsa- miRNA is identical to rno-miRNA, so I decided to quantify this miRNA in a patient's serum instead of a cell...
