Through a three-step study that relies on biomarker discovery, training, and validation, we identified a set of five exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) that can be used to evaluate the risk of gallbladder carcinoma (GBC), including miR-552-3p, miR-581, miR-4433a-3p, miR-496, and miR-203b-3p. When validated in 102 GBC patients and 112 chronic cholecystitis patients from multiple medical centers, the AUC of this combinatorial biomarker was 0.905, with a sensitivity of 81.37% and a specificity of 86.61%. The performance of this biomarker is superior to that of the standard biomarkers CA199 and CEA and is suited for GBC early diagnosis. The multi-clinicopathological features and prognosis of GBC patients were significantly associated with this biomarker. After building a miRNA-target gene regulation network, cell functions and signaling pathways regulated by these five miRNAs were examined. This biomarker signature can be used in the development of a noninvasive tool for GBC diagnosis, screening and prognosis prediction.
通过一项依赖生物标志物发现、训练和验证的三步研究,我们鉴定出一组可用于评估胆囊癌(GBC)风险的五个外泌体微小RNA(miRNA),包括miR-552-3p、miR-581、miR-4433a-3p、miR-496和miR-203b-3p。在来自多个医疗中心的102例GBC患者和112例慢性胆囊炎患者中进行验证时,该组合生物标志物的曲线下面积(AUC)为0.905,灵敏度为81.37%,特异性为86.61%。该生物标志物的性能优于标准生物标志物CA199和CEA,适用于GBC的早期诊断。GBC患者的多临床病理特征和预后与该生物标志物显著相关。构建miRNA-靶基因调控网络后,检测了这五个miRNA调控的细胞功能和信号通路。这种生物标志物特征可用于开发一种用于GBC诊断、筛查和预后预测的非侵入性工具。
