Evaluation of Plasma Extracellular Vesicle MicroRNA Signatures for Lung Adenocarcinoma and Granuloma With Monte-Carlo Feature Selection Method.

ABSTRACT: Extracellular Vesicle (EV) is a compilation of secreted vesicles, including micro vesicles, large oncosomes, and exosomes. It can be used in non-invasive diagnosis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) processed by exosomes can be detected by liquid biopsy. To objectively evaluate the discriminative ability of miRNAs from whole plasma, EV and EV-free plasma, we analyzed the miRNA expression profiles in whole plasma, EV and EV-free plasma of 10 lung adenocarcinoma and 9 granuloma patients. With Monte-Carlo feature selection method, the top discriminative miRNAs in whole plasma, EV and EV-free plasma were identified, and they were quite different. Using the Repeated Incremental Pruning to Produce Error Reduction (RIPPER) method, we learned the classification rules: in whole plasma, granuloma patients did not
