Recent studies posit a role for non-coding RNAs in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Combining small RNA sequencing from 179 human serum samples with a neural network analysis produced a miRNA algorithm for diagnosis of EOC (AUC 0.90; 95% CI: 0.81-0.99). The model significantly outperformed CA125 and functioned well regardless of patient age, histology, or stage. Among 454 patients with various diagnoses, the miRNA neural network had 100% specificity for ovarian cancer. After using 325 samples to adapt the neural network to qPCR measurements, the model was validated using 51 independent clinical samples, with a positive predictive value of 91.3% (95% CI: 73.3-97.6%) and negative predictive value of 78.6% (95% CI: 64.2-88.2%). Finally, biologic relevance was tested using in situ hybridization on 30 pre-metastatic lesions, showing intratumoral concentration of relevant miRNAs. These data suggest circulating miRNAs have potential to develop a non-invasive diagnostic test for ovarian cancer.
最近的研究提出非编码 RNA 在卵巢上皮性癌(EOC)中的作用。将 179 个人类血清样本的小 RNA 测序与神经网络分析相结合,产生了用于诊断 EOC 的 miRNA 算法(AUC 0.90;95%CI:0.81-0.99)。该模型明显优于 CA125,并且无论患者的年龄、组织学或分期如何,都能很好地发挥作用。在 454 名具有不同诊断的患者中,miRNA 神经网络对卵巢癌具有 100%的特异性。在使用 325 个样本使神经网络适应 qPCR 测量后,使用 51 个独立的临床样本验证了该模型,阳性预测值为 91.3%(95%CI:73.3-97.6%),阴性预测值为 78.6%(95%CI:64.2-88.2%)。最后,通过对 30 个前转移病变进行原位杂交测试了生物学相关性,显示了相关 miRNA 的肿瘤内浓度。这些数据表明循环 miRNA 具有开发卵巢癌非侵入性诊断测试的潜力。
