| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we focused on exosome-expressed protein, including Glypican-1, to develop novel screening method using exosomal miRNAs in CRC patients. During the series of this project, we successfully find several novel findings. As first, we directly compared between exosomal and serum-derived miRNAs in adenoma patients, and showed that diagnostic potential of serum-derived miRNAs are superior to exosomal miRNAs in these patients. Second, we performed comprehensive protein profiling using exosomal protein from CRC cells and normal cells, and identified canditate proteins to specifically expressed in CRC tissues. Finally, we demonstrated that serum miR-1290 could be used as a diagnostic and prognotic biomarker in CRC patients.
