M⁶A target microRNAs in serum for cancer detection.

ABSTRACT: Recent studies have revealed the significant dysregulation of m⁶A level in peripheral blood in several cancer types and its value in diagnosis. Nonetheless, a biomarker for accurate screening of multiple cancer types has not been established based on the perspective of m⁶A modification. In this study, we aimed to develop a serum diagnostic signature based on the m⁶A target miRNAs for the mass detection of cancer. A total of 14965 serum samples with 12 cancer types were included. Based on training cohort (n=7299), we developed the m6A-miRNAs signature using a support vector machine algorithm for cancer detection. The m6A-miRNAs signature showed high accuracy, and its area under the curve (AUC) in the training, internal validation and external validation cohort reached 0.979 (95%CI 0.976 - 0.982), 0.976 (95%CI 0.973 - 0.979) and 0.936 (95%CI 0.922 - 0.951), respectively. In the performance of distinguishing cancer types, the m6A-miRNAs signature showed superior sensitivity in each cancer type and presented a satisfactory AUC in identifying lung cancer, gastric cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Additionally, the diagnostic performance of m6A-miRNAs was not interfered by the gender, age and benign disease. In short, this study revealed the value of serum circulating m⁶A miRNAs in cancer detection and provided a new direction and strategy for the development of novel biomarkers with high accuracy, low cost and less invasiveness for mass cancer screening, such as RNA modification.

Detection of microRNAs in dried serum blots.

Project description:We observed the preservation of microRNAs in unrefrigerated dried serum blots. Preservation was not adversely affected by drying or storing at 37, 45, or 60°C instead of room temperature, but it was harmed when blots were dried incompletely before storage. Preservation of microRNAs in serum was not diminished if, instead of being kept frozen at -80°C, it was stored as dried blots at room temperature for 5 months or at 37°C for 4 weeks. Thus, dried blots can be a convenient and safer way to save, transport, and store serum for microRNA assays.

A novel combination of serum microRNAs for the detection of early gastric cancer.

Project description:BackgroundThe aim of this study was to identify serum miRNAs that discriminate early gastric cancer (EGC) samples from non-cancer controls using a large cohort.MethodsThis retrospective case-control study included 1417 serum samples from patients with EGC (seen at the National Cancer Center Hospital in Tokyo between 2008 and 2012) and 1417 age- and gender-matched non-cancer controls. The samples were randomly assigned to discovery and validation sets and the miRNA expression profiles of whole serum samples were comprehensively evaluated using a highly sensitive DNA chip (3D-Gene®) designed to detect 2565 miRNA sequences. Diagnostic models were constructed using the levels of several miRNAs in the discovery set, and the diagnostic performance of the model was evaluated in the validation set.ResultsThe discovery set consisted of 708 samples from EGC patients and 709 samples from non-cancer controls, and the validation set consisted of 709 samples from EGC patients and 708 samples from non-cancer controls. The diagnostic EGC index was constructed using four miRNAs (miR-4257, miR-6785-5p, miR-187-5p, and miR-5739). In the discovery set, a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of the EGC index revealed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.996 with a sensitivity of 0.983 and a specificity of 0.977. In the validation set, the AUC for the EGC index was 0.998 with a sensitivity of 0.996 and a specificity of 0.953.ConclusionsA novel combination of four serum miRNAs could be a useful non-invasive diagnostic biomarker to detect EGC with high accuracy. A multicenter prospective study is ongoing to confirm the present observations.

A novel serum m<sup>7</sup>G-harboring microRNA signature for cancer detection.

Project description:Background: Emerging evidence points to the exceptional importance and value of m7G alteration in the diagnosis and prognosis of cancers. Nonetheless, a biomarker for precise screening of various cancer types has not yet been developed based on serum m7G-harboring miRNAs. Methods: A total of 20,702 serum samples, covering 12 cancer types and consisting of 7,768 cancer samples and 12,934 cancer-free samples were used in this study. A m7G target miRNA diagnostic signature (m7G-miRDS) was established through the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) analyses in a training dataset (n = 10,351), and validated in a validation dataset (n = 10,351). Results: The m7G-miRDS model, a 12 m7G-target-miRNAs signature, demonstrated high accuracy and was qualified for cancer detection. In the training and validation cohort, the area under the curve (AUC) reached 0.974 (95% CI 0.971-0.977) and 0.972 (95% CI 0.969-0.975), respectively. The m7G-miRDS showed superior sensitivity in each cancer type and had a satisfactory AUC in identifying bladder cancer, lung cancer and esophageal cancer. Additionally, the diagnostic performance of m7G-miRDS was not interfered by the gender, age and benign disease. Conclusion: Our results greatly extended the value of serum circulating miRNAs and m7G in cancer detection, and provided a new direction and strategy for the development of novel biomarkers with high accuracy, low cost and less invasiveness for mass cancer screening, such as ncRNA modification.

Identification of serum microRNAs as novel non-invasive biomarkers for early detection of gastric cancer.

Project description:BACKGROUND: To investigate the potential of serum miRNAs as biomarkers for early detection of gastric cancer (GC), a population-based study was conducted in Linqu, a high-risk area of GC in China. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: All subjects were selected from two large cohort studies. Differential miRNAs were identified in serum pools of GC and control using TaqMan low density array, and validated in individual from 82 pairs of GC and control, and 46 pairs of dysplasia and control by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The temporal trends of identified serum miRNA expression were further explored in a retrospective study on 58 GC patients who had at least one pre-GC diagnosis serum sample based on the long-term follow-up population. The miRNA profiling results demonstrated that 16 miRNAs were markedly upregulated in GC patients compared to controls. Further validation identified a panel of three serum miRNAs (miR-221, miR-744, and miR-376c) as potential biomarkers for GC detection, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve-based risk assessment analysis revealed that this panel could distinguish GCs from controls with 82.4% sensitivity and 58.8% specificity. MiR-221 and miR-376c demonstrated significantly positive correlation with poor differentiation of GC, and miR-221 displayed higher level in dysplasia than in control. Furthermore, the retrospective study revealed an increasing trend of these three miRNA levels during GC development (P for trend<0.05), and this panel could classify serum samples collected up to 5 years ahead of clinical GC diagnosis with 79.3% overall accuracy. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: These data suggest that serum miR-221, miR-376c and miR-744 have strong potential as novel non-invasive biomarkers for early detection of GC.

Cross validated serum exosomal microRNAs for the detection of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

Project description:Exosomes were purified from 250 ul serum using ExoQuickTm. The presence of particles consistent in size with exosomes (60-150nm) was confirmed using a Nanosight LM10. miRNA was extracted from exosomes using an miRNeasy Serum/Plasma kit (Qiagen, #217184). miRNA was reversed transcribed using a TaqMan® microRNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Life technologies, #4366596). miRNA profiling was performed with a custom high throughput TaqMan® OpenArray® Human microRNA panel (Life technologies). The panel consisted of probes for 110 human miRNAs that are based on miRNA sequences derived from Sanger miRBase v20. The poor prognosis and rising incidence of HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) highlight the need for improved methods for detection of this cancer. Molecular biomarkers offer potential for this. The potential for circulating miRNAs as biomarkers in some other cancers has been shown, but circulating miRNAs have not been well validated in OPSCC. This study therefore used stabilised nested cross validation to investigate whether circulating miRNAs could be used to differentiate OPSCCs from healthy controls and patients with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.

Circulating microRNAs as stable blood-based markers for cancer detection.

Project description:Improved approaches for the detection of common epithelial malignancies are urgently needed to reduce the worldwide morbidity and mortality caused by cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small ( approximately 22 nt) regulatory RNAs that are frequently dysregulated in cancer and have shown promise as tissue-based markers for cancer classification and prognostication. We show here that miRNAs are present in human plasma in a remarkably stable form that is protected from endogenous RNase activity. miRNAs originating from human prostate cancer xenografts enter the circulation, are readily measured in plasma, and can robustly distinguish xenografted mice from controls. This concept extends to cancer in humans, where serum levels of miR-141 (a miRNA expressed in prostate cancer) can distinguish patients with prostate cancer from healthy controls. Our results establish the measurement of tumor-derived miRNAs in serum or plasma as an important approach for the blood-based detection of human cancer.
