ABSTRACT: Background
Accumulating evidence shows that microRNAs are aberrantly expressed and exert essential roles in the tumorigenesis and tumor progression of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods
The plasma miRNAs from five healthy donors and four NSCLC patients were profiled by miRNA microarray. The differentially expressed miRNAs from 154 primary NSCLC patients and 146 healthy donors were subjected to RNA isolation and verified by quantitative PCR (qPCR).Results
The miRNA microarray analysis revealed that 40 differential miRNAs between NSCLC patients and healthy donors were selected. We found that the plasma miR-1247-5p, miR-301b-3p and miR-105-5p levels of patients were significantly higher than those of healthy controls. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses revealed higher area under the ROC curve (AUC) values and higher sensitivity/specificity of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in combination with miR-1247-5p, miR-301b-3p, or miR-105-5p were superior to that of CEA alone.Conclusions
High miR-1247-5p, miR-301b-3p and miR-105-5p expression have been demonstrated to accelerate tumorigenesis, and these three miRNAs in plasma act as novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of NSCLC patients.Key points
Plasma miR-1247-5p, miR-301b-3p and miR-105-5p act as novel biomarkers for early NSCLC and NSCLC.
