| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Reliable biomarkers for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have yet to be found. Recently, exosome is getting more attention as an emerging biomarker for several types of cancer. Exosomes are lipid bilayer vesicles containing protein, messengerRNA and microRNA (miRNA). The aim of this study is to construct novel diagnostic model for RCC using miRNAs in serum exosomes. We performed miRNAs microarray analysis of exosomes and identified miRNAs that expressed more highly in exosomes in RCC patients compared to those in healthy volunteer. Novel diagnostic model constructed by random forest analysis had a good capability (sensitivity 97.8%, specificity 50.0%) for the diagnosis of RCC.
