Identification of canine circulating miRNAs as tumor biospecific markers using Next-Generation Sequencing and Q-RT-PCR.

ABSTRACT: Delay in cancer diagnosis often results in metastasis and an inability to successfully treat the tumor. The use of broadly cancer-specific biomarkers at an early stage may improve cancer treatment and staging. This study has explored circulatory exosomal miRNAs as potential diagnostic biomarkers to identify cancer patients. Secretory exosomal miRNAs were isolated from 13 canine cancer cell lines (lymphoma, mast cell tumor, histiocytic cell line, osteosarcoma, melanoma, and breast tumor) and were sequenced by Next-Generation sequencing (NGS). We have identified 6 miRNAs (cfa-miR-9, -1841, -1306, -345, -132, and -26b) by NGS that were elevated in all cancer cell types. The miRNAs identified by NGS were then examined by Q-RT-PCR. The PCR data demonstrated similar expression patterns to those
