This study aims to explore novel microRNAs in urine for screening and predicting clinical characteristics in pancreatic cancer (PC) patients using a microRNA array-based approach.
We used the Toray 3D-Gene microRNA array-based approach to compare urinary levels between PC patients and healthy volunteers.
(1) Four oncogenic microRNAs (miR-744-5p, miR-572, miR-210-3p, and miR-575) that were highly upregulated in the urine of PC patients compared to healthy individuals were identified by comprehensive microRNA array analysis. (2) Test-scale analysis by quantitative RT-PCR for each group of 20 cases showed that miR-210-3p was significantly upregulated in the urine of PC patients compared to healthy individuals (P = 0.009). (3) Validation analysis (58 PC patients and 35 healthy individuals) confirmed that miR-210-3p was significantly upregulated in the urine of PC patients compared to healthy individuals (P < 0.001, area under the receiver operating characteristic curve = 0.79, sensitivity: 0.828, specificity: 0.743). We differentiated PC patients into invasive ductal carcinoma (IDCa) and intraductal papillary mucinous carcinoma (IPMC) groups. In addition to urinary miR-210-3p levels being upregulated in IDCa over healthy individuals (P = 0.009), urinary miR-210-3p levels were also elevated in IPMC over healthy individuals (P = 0.0018). Urinary miR-210-3p can differentiate IPMC from healthy individuals by a cutoff of 8.02 with an AUC value of 0.762, sensitivity of 94%, and specificity of 63%. (4) To test whether urinary miR210-3p levels reflected plasma miR-210-3p levels, we examined the correlation between urinary and plasma levels. Spearman's correlation analysis showed a moderate positive correlation (ρ = 0.64, P = 0.005) between miR-210-3p expression in plasma and urine.
Urinary miR-210-3p is a promising, non-invasive diagnostic biomarker of PC, including IPMC.

本研究旨在通过基于 microRNA 阵列的方法,探索尿液中新型 microRNAs,用于筛查和预测胰腺癌(PC)患者的临床特征。
我们使用 Toray 3D-Gene microRNA 阵列方法比较 PC 患者和健康志愿者尿液中的 microRNA 水平。
(1)通过综合 microRNA 阵列分析,发现 4 种致癌 microRNAs(miR-744-5p、miR-572、miR-210-3p 和 miR-575)在 PC 患者尿液中高度上调。(2)对 20 例每组的定量 RT-PCR 进行测试规模分析,结果显示 miR-210-3p 在 PC 患者尿液中显著上调(P=0.009)。(3)验证分析(58 例 PC 患者和 35 例健康个体)证实 miR-210-3p 在 PC 患者尿液中显著上调(P<0.001,ROC 曲线下面积=0.79,敏感性:0.828,特异性:0.743)。我们将 PC 患者分为浸润性导管癌(IDCa)和导管内乳头状黏液性癌(IPMC)组。除了 IDCa 患者尿液中的 miR-210-3p 水平明显高于健康个体(P=0.009)外,IPMC 患者尿液中的 miR-210-3p 水平也高于健康个体(P=0.0018)。miR-210-3p 可以通过截断值 8.02 将 IPMC 与健康个体区分开来,AUC 值为 0.762,敏感性为 94%,特异性为 63%。(4)为了检测尿 miR210-3p 水平是否反映血浆 miR-210-3p 水平,我们检测了尿与血浆水平之间的相关性。Spearman 相关分析显示血浆和尿液中 miR-210-3p 表达之间存在中度正相关(ρ=0.64,P=0.005)。
尿 miR-210-3p 是一种很有前途的非侵入性 PC 诊断生物标志物,包括 IPMC。
