Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have analyzed the expression levels of microRNA(miR)-106b-25 cluster in serum and verified its usefulness as a novel biomarker. In addition, we investigated the mechanism of its existence in serum by focusing on the relationship with host gene MCM7 and the involvement of extracellular vesicle exosomes. The utility of the miR-106b-25 cluster as a biomarker in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma was confirmed. The miR-106b-25 cluster behaved differently from the host gene MCM7 in the tumor, suggesting the involvement of exosomes in the secretion into the serum.
