Exploration of differentially-expressed exosomal mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs from serum samples of gallbladder cancer and xantho-granulomatous cholecystitis patients

ABSTRACT: Gallbladder cancer (GBC) is the most common biliary tract malignancy worldwide. Although a growing number of studies have been devoted to the mechanism’s exploration of GBC, few molecules can be utilized as a specific biomarker for GBC early diagnosis and therapeutic treatment. Recent studies have shown that exosomes not only participate in the progression of tumors, but also carry the specific information which can define multiple cancer types. The present study was carried out to investigate the expression profile of coding and non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs and circRNAs) in the plasma-derived exosomes from GBC patients. By using high-throughput RNA sequencing and subsequently bioinformatic analysis, we identified a number of differentially expressed (DE) mRNAs, lncRNAs and circRNAs in GBC-exosomes comparing to xantho-granulomatous cholecystitis (XGC)-exosomes. Then we applied Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene and Genome (KEGG) analysis to investigate the potential function of these DE RNAs. Furthermore, we explored the interaction networks and competing endogenous RNA networks of these DE RNAs and their targeted genes, which revealed a complex regulatory network among coding and non-coding RNAs. In summary, this study will give evidence on the diagnostic worth of plasma-derived exosomes in GBC and provide a new perspective on the novel mechanism of GBC.
