A Novel Urinary miRNA Biomarker for Early Detection of Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Since noninvasive biomarkers as an alternative to invasive colonoscopy to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) are desired, we conducted this study to determine the urinary biomarker consisting of microRNAs (miRNAs). In total, 415 age- and sex-matched participants, including 206 patients with CRC and 209 healthy controls (HCs), were randomly divided into three groups: (1) the discovery cohort (CRC, n = 3; HC, n = 6); (2) the training cohort (140 pairs); and (3) the validation cohort (63 pairs). Among 11 urinary miRNAs with aberrant expressions between the two groups, miR-129-1-3p and miR-566 were significantly independent biomarkers that detect CRC. The panel consisting of two miRNAs could distinguish patients with CRC from HC participants with an area under the curve (AUC) = 0.811 in the training cohort. This panel showed good efficacy with an AUC = 0.868 in the validation cohort. This urinary biomarker combining miR-129-1-3p and miR-566 could detect even stage 0/I CRC effectively with an AUC = 0.845. Moreover, the expression levels of both miR-129-1-3p and miR-566 were significantly higher in primary tumor tissues than in adjacent normal tissue. Our established novel biomarker consisting of urinary miR-129-1-3p and miR-566 enables noninvasive and early detection of CRC.

Project description:Currently, the majority of patients diagnosed with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) present with locally invasive and/or metastatic disease, resulting in five-year survival of less than 5%. The development of an early diagnostic test is, therefore, expected to significantly impact the patient's prognosis. In this study, we successfully evaluated the feasibility of identifying diagnostic cell free microRNAs (miRNAs) for early stage PDAC, through the analysis of urine samples. Using Affymetrix microarrays, we established a global miRNA profile of 13 PDAC, six chronic pancreatitis (CP), and seven healthy (H) urine specimens. Selected differentially expressed miRNAs were subsequently investigated using an independent technique (RT-PCR) on 101 urine samples including 46 PDAC, 29 CP and 26 H. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and logistic regression analyses were applied to determine the discriminatory potential of the candidate miRNA biomarkers. Three miRNAs (miR-143, miR-223, and miR-30e) were significantly over-expressed in patients with Stage I cancer when compared with age-matched healthy individuals (P=0.022, 0.035 and 0.04, respectively); miR-143, miR-223 and miR-204 were also shown to be expressed at higher levels in Stage I compared to Stages II-IV PDAC (P=0.025, 0.013 and 0.008, respectively). Furthermore, miR-223 and miR-204 were able to distinguish patients with early stage cancer from patients with CP (P=0.037 and 0.036). Among the three biomarkers, miR-143 was best able to differentiate Stage I (n=6) from healthy (n=26) with area under the curve (AUC) of 0.862 (95% CI 0.695-1.000), with sensitivity (SN) of 83.3% (95% CI 50.0-100.0), and specificity (SP) of 88.5% (95% CI 73.1-100.0). The combination of miR-143 with miR-30e was significantly better at discriminating between these two groups, achieving an AUC of 0.923 (95% CI 0.793-1.000), with SN of 83.3% (95% CI 50.0-100.0) and SP of 96.2% (95% CI 88.5-100.0). In this feasibility study, we demonstrate for the first time the utility of miRNA biomarkers for non-invasive, early detection of PDAC in urine specimens.
