Dynamic and static circulating cancer microRNA biomarkers - a validation study.

ABSTRACT: For cancers and other pathologies, early diagnosis remains the most promising path to survival. Profiling of longitudinal cohorts facilitates insights into trajectories of biomarkers. We measured microRNA expression in 240 serum samples from patients with colon, lung, and breast cancer and from cancer-free controls. Each patient provided at least two serum samples, one prior to diagnosis and one following diagnosis. The median time interval between the samples was 11.6 years. Using computational models, we evaluated the circulating profiles of 21 microRNAs. The analysis yielded two sets of biomarkers, static ones that show an absolute difference between certain cancer types and controls and dynamic ones where the level over time provided higher diagnostic information content. In the first group, miR-99a-5p stands out for all three cancer types. In the second group, miR-155-5p allows to predict lung cancers and colon cancers. Classification in samples from cancer and non-cancer patients using gradient boosted trees reached an average accuracy of 79.9%. The results suggest that individual change over time or an absolute value at one time point may predict a disease with high specificity and sensitivity.

Project description:BackgroundThiazide diuretics are the second most frequently prescribed class of antihypertensives, but up to 50% of patients with hypertension have minimal antihypertensive response to thiazides. We explored circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in search of predictive biomarkers of thiazide response.Methods and resultsWe profiled 754 miRNAs in baseline plasma samples of 36 hypertensive European American adults treated with hydrochlorothiazide, categorized into responders (n=18) and nonresponders (n=18) on the basis of diastolic blood pressure response to hydrochlorothiazide. miRNAs with ≥2.5-fold differential expression between responders and nonresponders were considered for validation in 3 cohorts (n=50 each): hydrochlorothiazide-treated European Americans, chlorthalidone-treated European Americans, and hydrochlorothiazide-treated Black individuals. Different blood pressure phenotypes including categorical (responder versus nonresponder) and continuous diastolic blood pressure and systolic blood pressure were tested for association with the candidate miRNA expression using multivariate regression analyses adjusting for age, sex, and baseline blood pressure. After quality control, 74 miRNAs were available for screening, 19 of which were considered for validation. In the validation cohort, miR-193b-3p and 30d-5p showed significant associations with continuous SBP or diastolic blood pressure response or both, to hydrochlorothiazide in European Americans at Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted P<0.05. In the combined analysis of validation cohorts, let-7g (odds ratio, 0.6 [95% CI, 0.4-0.8]), miR-142-3p (odds ratio, 1.1 [95% CI, 1.0, 1.2]), and miR-423-5p (odds ratio, 0.7 [95% CI, 0.5-0.9]) associated with categorical diastolic blood pressure response at Benjamini-Hochberg adjusted P<0.05. Predicted target genes of the 5 miRNAs were mapped to key hypertension pathways: lysine degradation, fatty acid biosynthesis, and metabolism.ConclusionsThe above identified circulating miRNAs may have a potential for clinical use as biomarkers for thiazide diuretic selection in hypertension.RegistrationURL: ClinicalTrials.gov.
