Exosomal microRNA panel as a diagnostic biomarker in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: Diagnostic tools for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are critical for patient treatment and prognosis. Thus, this study explored the diagnostic value of the exosomal microRNA panel for HCC. Methods: Expression profiles of microRNAs in exosomes and plasma of HCC and control groups were assessed using microRNA microarray analysis. Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR was applied to evaluate the expression of candidate microRNAs in blood samples from 50 HCC patients, 50 hepatic cirrhosis patients, and 50 healthy subjects. The area calculated the diagnostic accuracy of the microRNAs and microRNA panel under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). Results: MicroRNA microarray analysis revealed that there were more differentially expressed microRNAs i
