Background: The objective was to assess secretion of small extracellular vesicular microRNA (exo-miRNA) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) according to human papillomavirus (HPV) status, and determine the translational potential as a liquid biopsy for early detection.

Methods: This study employed a combination of cell culture and case-control study design using archival pretreatment serum. Small extracellular vesicles (sEV) were isolated from conditioned culture media and human serum samples via differential ultracentrifugation. miRNA-sequencing was performed on each sEV isolate.

Results: There were clear exo-miRNA profiles that distinguished HNSCC cell lines from nonpathologic oral epithelial control cells. While there was some overlap among profiles across all samples, there were apparent differences in exo-miRNA profiles according to HPV-status. Importantly, differential exo-miRNA profiles were also apparent in serum from early-stage HNSCC cases relative to cancer-free controls.

Conclusions: Our findings indicate that exo-miRNA are highly dysregulated in HNSCC and support the potential of exo-miRNA as biomarkers for HNSCC.

Objective: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a debilitating condition that can lead to myocardial infarction (MI). Exosomal miRNAs (exo-miRNA) can be diagnostic biomarkers for detecting MI. Here, we conduct a study to evaluate the efficacy of exo-miRNA-21-5p/3p for early detection of MI.

MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) carried by exosomes play pivotal roles in the crosstalk between cell components in the tumor microenvironment. Our study aimed at identifying the expression profile of exosomal miRNAs (exo-miRNAs) in the serum of multiple myeloma (MM) patients and investigating the regulation networks and their potential functions by integrated bioinformatics analysis. Exosomes in serum from 19 newly diagnosed MM patients and 9 healthy donors were isolated and the miRNA profile was investigated by small RNA sequencing.

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles, which have the ability to convey various types of cargo between cells. Lately, a great amount of interest has been paid to exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs), since much evidence has suggested that the sorting of miRNAs into exosomes is not an accidental process. It has been shown that exosomal miRNAs (exo-miRNAs) are implicated in a variety of cellular processes including (but not limited to) cell migration, apoptosis, proliferation, and autophagy.

There are large gaps in understanding the molecular machinery accounting for the association of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection with autoimmunity. Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is the most common HCV-associated extrahepatic manifestation, which is characterized by B-cell lymphoproliferation and autoantibody production. B-cell activating factor (BAFF) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor family and plays an important role in B-cell proliferation.
