Integrative Analyses of Circulating mRNA and lncRNA Expression Profile in Plasma of Lung Cancer Patients.

ABSTRACT: Circulating-free RNAs (cfRNAs) have been regarded as potential biomarkers for "liquid biopsy" in cancers. However, the circulating messenger RNA (mRNA) and long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) profiles of lung cancer have not been fully characterized. In this study, we profiled circulating mRNA and lncRNA profiles of 16 lung cancer patients and 4 patients with benign pulmonary nodules. Compared with benign pulmonary nodules, 806 mRNAs and 1,762 lncRNAs were differentially expressed in plasma of lung adenocarcinoma patients. For lung squamous cell carcinomas, 256 mRNAs and 946 lncRNAs were differentially expressed. A total of 231 mRNAs and 298 lncRNAs were differentially expressed in small cell lung cancer. Eleven mRNAs, 51 lncRNAs, and 207 canonical pathways were differentially expressed in lung ca
