The miRNome of canine invasive urothelial carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Urothelial carcinoma (UC) comprises up to 2% of all naturally occurring neoplasia in dogs and can be challenging to diagnose. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be dysregulated in numerous diseases, including neoplasia. MiRNA expression has been evaluated in human UC, but there is limited information regarding the miRNA transcriptome of UC in dogs. Our study aimed to evaluate differential miRNA expression in bladder tissue collected from normal canine urothelium and canine invasive UC (iUC) to elucidate the dysregulated pathways in canine UC. Next-Generation RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) was performed for dogs with UC (n = 29) and normal canine urothelium (n = 4). Raw RNA data were subjected to normalization, and pairwise comparison was performed using EdgeR with Benjamini-H
