A two-miRNA signature (miR-33a-5p and miR-128-3p) in whole blood as potential biomarker for early diagnosis of lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) have been found to be dysregulated in lung cancer tissues compared to their matched paracancerous tissues. However, the roles of miRNAs in peripheral blood as potential biomarkers for early diagnosis of lung cancer remain poorly understood. Here we found that miR-33a-5p and miR-128-3p were down-regulated in lung cancer tissues and cell lines. The expression levels of miR-33a-5p and miR-128-3p in lung cancer tissues were significantly correlated to TNM stages. MiR-128-3p in lung cancer tissues was also remarkably related to smoking and tumor size. The relative expression levels of miR-33a-5p and miR-128-3p were positively correlated in lung cancer tissues. Notably, miR-33a-5p and miR-128-3p in whole blood of lung cancer patients or early-stage lung cancer patients (TNM stage I-II) were lowly expressed as compared with that in healthy controls. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses revealed higher area under the ROC curve (AUC) values and higher sensitivity/specificity of miR-33a-5p and miR-128-3p alone and in combination were superior to that of traditional tumor markers (CYFR21-1, NSE and CA72-4). Importantly, both miR-33a-5p and miR-128-3p in whole blood were highly stable even under different harsh conditions. The results demonstrate that tumor suppressor miR-33a-5p/miR-128-3p in whole blood can serve as novel biomarkers for the early detection of lung cancer.

Project description:BackgroundLung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest incidence and mortality rate in the world today, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is its most common type. However, there is still a paucity of specific tumor markers for lung cancer screening. Herein, we detected and compared the levels of miR-128-3p and miR-33a-5p in serum exosomes of NSCLC patients and healthy volunteers, with the aim of identifying suitable exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) as tumor biomarkers, and explored their value in the auxiliary diagnosis of NSCLC.MethodsAll participants were recruited from September 1, 2022 to December 30, 2022, and met the inclusion criteria. The case group included 20 patients with lung nodules who were highly suspected of having lung cancer (two cases were excluded). A total of 18 healthy volunteers (control group) were also enrolled. Blood samples were collected in both the case group before surgery and in the control group. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect the expression of miR-128-3p and miR-33a-5p in serum exosomes. The main indicators of statistical analysis included the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity.ResultsCompared with the healthy control group, the NSCLC case group had significantly lower expression levels of serum exosome miR-128-3p and miR-33a-5p (P<0.01, P<0.001), and there was a significant positive correlation between the two exosome miRNAs (r=0.848, P<0.01). The AUC values of miR-128-3p alone and miR-33a-5p alone in distinguishing case group and control group were 0.789 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.637-0.940; sensitivity: 61.1%; specificity: 94.4%; P=0.003] and 0.821 (95% CI: 0.668-0.974; sensitivity: 77.8%; specificity: 83.3%; and P=0.001), respectively. The combination of miR-128-3p and miR-33a-5p had an AUC of 0.855 (95% CI: 0.719-0.991; P<0.001) for distinguishing case group and control group, which was greater than the AUC values of miR-128-3p alone and miR-33a-5p alone (cut-off value: 0.034; sensitivity: 83.3%; and specificity: 88.9%). However, there was no significant difference in the AUC among these three groups (P>0.05).ConclusionsSerum exosome miR-128-3p and miR-33a-5p showed good performance in NSCLC screening and may be used as new biomarkers for large-scale NSCLC screening.
