TLDR
Observations show the feasibility of developing plasma miRNA profiling as a sensitive and specific blood-based biomarker assay for pancreatic cancer that has the potential of translation to the clinic with additional improvements in the future.Abstract:
Development of minimally invasive biomarker assays for early detection and effective clinical management of pancreatic cancer is urgently needed to reduce high morbidity and mortality associated with this malignancy We hypothesized that if aberrantly expressing microRNAs (miRNA) in pancreatic adenocarcinoma tissues are detected in blood plasma, then plasma profiling of these miRNAs might serve as a minimally invasive early detection biomarker assay for this malignancy By using a modified protocol to isolate and quantify plasma miRNAs from heparin-treated blood, we show that miRNA profiling in plasma can differentiate pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients from healthy controls We have profiled four miRNAs, miR-21, miR-210, miR-155, and miR-196a, all implicated in the development of pancreatic cancer with either proven or predicted target genes involved in critical cancer-associated cellular pathways Of these, miR-155 has recently been identified as a candidate biomarker of early pancreatic neoplasia, whereas elevated expression of miR196a has been shown to parallel progression of disease The results revealed a sensitivity of 64% and a specificity of 89% with the analyses of plasma levels for this panel of four miRNAs The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve were estimated at 082 and 078 without and with leave-one-out cross-validation scheme, respectively These observations, although a "proof of principle" finding at this time, show the feasibility of developing plasma miRNA profiling as a sensitive and specific blood-based biomarker assay for pancreatic cancer that has the potential of translation to the clinic with additional improvements in the futureread more

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss the current status of methods and tools for analyzing ncRNAs, and the PDAC-specific ncRNA, and also touch upon the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of NcRNA in PDACs.
Aberrations of a putative tumor suppressor gene sel1l in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
TL;DR: It was hypothesized that SEL1L expression could be down-modulated by somatic mutation, loss of heterozygosity (LOH), CpG island hypermethylation and/or aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients.

Fully automated microRNA quantification technique based on bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay.
TL;DR: In this article , a technique based on Bioluminescent enzyme immunoassay (BLEIA) was used to perform fully automated miRNA quantification using magnetic particles conjugated with antibodies targeting DNA-RNA hybrids, biotinylated DNA probes specific to miRNAs, and firefly luciferase-labeled streptavidin.

TL;DR: It is shown here that miRNAs are present in human plasma in a remarkably stable form that is protected from endogenous RNase activity and established the measurement of tumor-derived mi RNAs in serum or plasma as an important approach for the blood-based detection of human cancer.

TL;DR: The results indicate that miRNAs are extensively involved in cancer pathogenesis of solid tumors and support their function as either dominant or recessive cancer genes.

MicroRNA-21 is an antiapoptotic factor in human glioblastoma cells.
TL;DR: It is shown that the highly malignant human brain tumor, glioblastoma, strongly over-expresses a specific miRNA, miR-21, which may contribute to the malignant phenotype by blocking expression of critical apoptosis-related genes.
