Circulating miRNA and circulating tumor DNA application as liquid biopsy markers in gastric cancer.
Clinical Biochemistry 2024 May 3
Liquid biopsy has been investigated as a novel method to overcome the numerous challenges in gastric cancer (GC) management. This non-invasive, feasible, and easy-to-repeat method has been shown to be cost-effective and capable of increasing diagnostic sensitivity and prognostic assessment. Additionally, it is potentially accurate to aid decision-making and personalized treatment planning. MicroRNA (miRNA) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) markers can enhance GC management in various aspects, including diagnosis (mainly earlier diagnosis and the ability to perform population-based screening), prognosis (more precise stratification of prognosis), and treatment (including more accurate prediction of treatment response and earlier detection of resistance to the treatment). Concerning the treatment-related application, miRNAs' mimics and antagonists (by using two main strategies of restoring tumor suppressor miRNAs and inhibiting oncogene miRNAs) have been shown to be effective therapeutic agents. However, these need to be further validated in clinical trials. Furthermore, novel delivery systems, such as lipid-based vectors, polymeric-based vectors, and exosome-based delivery, have been developed to enhance the performance of these agents. Moreover, this paper explores the current detection and measuring methods for these markers. These approaches are categorized into direct methods (e.g., Chem-NAT, HTG EdgeSeq, and Multiplex Circulating Fireplex) and indirect methods (e.g., Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), qPCR, microarray, and NGS) for miRNA detection. For ctDNA measurement, main core technologies like NGS, digital PCR, real-time PCR, and mass spectrometry are suggested.
