Popis: Rhabdoid tumor of the kidney (RTK) is a rare, highly aggressive pediatric renal tumor. No specific biomarkers are available for detection of RTK, and the initial differential diagnosis from other pediatric abdominal tumors, including neuroblastoma (NB), is difficult. Exosomal miRNAs are novel cancer biomarkers that can be detected in biological fluids. We explored candidate RTK-specific exosomal miRNAs as novel biomarkers of RTK. Exosomal miRNAs were collected from conditioned media of human RTK-derived cell lines, a human embryonic renal cell line, and human NB-derived cell lines. miRNA sequencing (miRNA-Seq) was performed to detect candidate RTK-specific exosomal miRNAs. The exosomal miRNA expression in conditioned media of tumor cell lines and serum from RTK xenograft-bearing mice was analyzed by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The expression of exosomal miR-214-3p detected by miRNA-Seq was highest in RTK-derived cell lines. Exosomal miR-214-3p expression level determined by qRT-PCR was significantly higher in RTK-derived cell lines than in the human embryonic renal cell line or NB-derived cell lines. Furthermore, the serum exosomal miR-214-3p expression level was significantly higher in RTK xenograft mice than controls. Our data indicated that exosomal miR-214-3p has potential as a novel biomarker of RTK.
