Abstract An accurate biomarker or method for diagnosis of thyroid nodule with indeterminate fine-needle aspiration result is essential for clinical treatment. Micro RNAs (miRNAs) of exosomes are advantageous in the diagnosis of tumors because they are highly stable, and be protected by a bilayer membrane structure. Exosomes were isolated from 13 papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and 7 nodular goiter (NG) patients’ plasma. Small RNA sequencing was performed on exosomes’ RNA in next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform. Then, we performed comprehensive analysis on miRNA expression profile in exosome of two groups. One hundred and twenty-nine differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in plasma exosomes between PTC and NG patients. Forty-nine miRNAs were up-regulated, and 80 miRNAs were down-regulated in PTC patients. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of 129 miRNAs were plotted. Area under curve (AUC) of 129 miRNAs was 0.571–0.951, with distribution peak of 0.82–0.86. AUC of 11 miRNAs was above 0.9, miR-5189-3p had the most optimal performance for diagnosis between PTC and NG, with 0.951 of AUC. Target genes of 129 miRNAs were enriched into 7 cancer-related signaling pathways, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), NF-kappa B signaling pathway and so on. This study profiled the miRNA signature of exosomes from PTC patients and NG patients. We proposed a group of miRNAs in plasma exosomes as candidate biomarkers for thyroid nodule diagnosis.

Background: Among various bio-informative molecules transferred by exosomes between cells, micro RNAs (miRNAs), which remain remarkably stable even after freeze-and-thaw cycles, are excellent candidates for potential biomarkers for coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Blood samples were collected from the coronary arteries of 214 patients diagnosed with three-vessel CAD and 140 without CAD. After precipitation extraction, the amounts of exosomes were found to decrease with increased age and three-vessel CAD. Next-generation sequencing was performed to further explore the possible relationship between exosomal miRNAs and CAD. Results: Eight exosomal miRNAs showed altered expression associated with CAD. The up-regulated miRNAs in CAD were miRNA-382-3p, miRNA-432-5p, miRNA-200a-3p, and miRNA-3613-3p. The down-regulated miRNAs were miRNA-125a-5p, miRNA-185-5p, miRNA-151a-3p, and miRNA-328-3p. Conclusion: We successfully demonstrated particular exosomal miRNAs that may serve as future biomarkers for CAD.
