miRNA Profiling May Provide More Accurate Classification of Cancer Subtypes than the Expression Profiles of Protein-coding Genes miRNA expression profiles can classify human cancers Nature 435(7043):834-838,2005
In lung cancer, it has been shown that miRNA expression profiles and specific miRNAs in lung tissue are correlated with disease prognosis and clinical outcome Cancer Cell. 2008;13:48-57. Cancer Cell. 2006;9:189-98.
miRNAs Exist in Serum? Circulating microRNAs as stable blood-based markers for cancer detection PNAS, 2008 Jul Characterization of microRNAs in serum: a novel class of biomarkers for diagnosis of cancer and other diseases Cell Res. 2008 Oct
Why Serum Biomarkers are Important? • Easy to get (non-invasive) • Repeatable • In high risk population (cancer screening)
The discovery of stable serum miRNAs Chen et al. 2007 Cell Res.
Solexa Whole Genome Sequencing miRNAs (21-23nt) were most abundant sequences in serum RNAs

Serum miRNA expressions – prognosis? Exposure Lung Cancer Clinical Outcome Research Question:
Serum miRNA and Lung Cancer Survival Case-only study (303 cases) 30 live cases 34-68 months 30 dead cases 2-22 months 120 patients 123 patients Randomly classified Discovery Solexa sequencing Validation set qRT-PCR Training set qRT-PCR
Subjects and Assays Study Population: Early stage (I-IIIa) adenocarcinomaand squamous celllung cancer patients, treated with both operation and adjuvant chemotherapies Discovery samples: “Long survival” patients: 30 live patients survival more than 30 months (34.6-61.8 months) (Stage I, 10; stage II, 10; stage III, 10 ) “Short survival” group: 30 dead patients survival less than 25 months (2.0-22.5 months) (Stage I, 10; stage II, 10; stage III, 10 ) Training and testing sample sets: 243 participants were classified as 120 for training and 123 for testing by computer-generated random numbers. qRT-PCR assay was conducted to quantify the serum levels of miRNAs.

Stepwise Cox Proportional Hazards Analyses on NSCLC Survival
Conclusions Serum miRNA signature can be also used to predict the subgroup of NSCLC patients with poor prognosis (short survival). Journal of Clinical Oncology 2010 (IF=17.2)
