Plasma circulating MiRNAs: a new potential biomarker for prostate cancer diagnosis.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: PCa is the second most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men. PCa Diagnosis are based on biopsy sampling that is an invasive, expensive procedure and does not accurately represent multifocal disease. It is desirable to have an easily accessible, minimally invasive way to accurately determine the molecular signature of patient’s tumor that can aid in diagnosis and risk stratification. Methods:we enrolled a total of 70 patients underwent 12-core transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy of which 48% had cancer in the diagnosis. The mean age at diagnosis was 67.15 (IR 55/75), the mean PSA (ng/ml) at diagnosis was 7.8 (IR 4.1/13.4) and the mean TRUS Volume (ml) was 53.5 (IR 29/86). The cancer biopsy presented 73.1% of positive core. Among all cancer patients, 57% showed a High grade of cancer status (Grade 3). Controls are patients with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH). MicroRNA-expression profiling (NGS analysis) was performed to identify tumor-related microRNAs (miRs) and determine their association with clinicopathological characteristics. Results: The expression of miRs -4732-3p, let7a, 26b-5p, 98-5p, 30c-5p and 21-5p may identified Prostate Cancer in plasma samples. Higher expression of mir-4732-3p is associated with a high grade tumor Conclusions: miRs signature discriminate Prostate cancer in plasma better to PSA values and is associated with high grade tumor status
