Dysregulated transfer RNA-derived small RNAs as potential gastric cancer biomarkers.

ABSTRACT: Gastric cancer (GC) is the kind of carcinoma that has the highest rates of morbidity and death worldwide. In the early stages of GC, there is currently an absence of sensitive and specific biomarkers. The newly-discovered class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) known as transfer RNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) is highly expressed in bodily fluids and neoplastic cells. High-throughput sequencing was initially employed to identify differentially expressed tsRNAs in early GC patients, followed by validation in patient serum, GC tissues, and cell lines by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). We identified dysregulated tsRNAs (the up-regulated tsRNAs included tRF-31-PNR8YP9LON4VD, tRF-30-MIF91SS2P4FI, and tRF-30-IK9NJ4S2I7L7, whereas the down-regulated tsRNAs included tRF-38-W6
