A MICRORNA-BASED METHOD FOR EARLY DETECTION OF PROSTATE CANCER IN URINE SAMPLES

摘要

The present application concerns a new in vitro method for assessing the risk that a subject suffers from prostate cancer. The method comprises measuring the expression level the level of at least two miRs selected from group of miRs consisting of: hsa-let-7a-5p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-let-7c-5p, hsa-let-7e-5p, hsa-let-7f-5p, hsa-let-7g-5p, hsa-miR-100-5p, hsa-miR-106a-5p, hsa-miR-10a-5p, hsa-miR-10b-5p, hsa-miR-1238-3p, hsa-miR-125b-5p, hsa-miR-1260a, hsa-miR-130a-3p, hsa-miR-132-3p, hsa-miR-135a-5p, hsa-miR-135b-5p, hsa-miR-136-5p, hsa-miR-140-3p, hsa-miR-141-3p, hsa-miR-142-3p, hsa-miR-146a-5p, hsa-miR-148a-3p, hsa-miR-151a-3p, hsa-miR-151a-5p, hsa-miR-15b-5p, hsa-miR-16-5p, hsa-miR-191-5p, hsa-miR-1972, hsa-miR-19a-3p, hsa-miR-19b-3p, hsa-miR-200a-3p, hsa-miR-200b-3p, hsa-miR-200b-5p, hsa-miR-200c-3p, hsa-miR-203a, hsa-miR-204-5p, hsa-miR-205-5p, hsa-miR-20a-5p, hsa-miR-210, hsa-miR-222-3p, hsa-miR-223-3p, hsa-miR-22-5p, hsa-miR-23a-3p, hsa-miR-23b-3p, hsa-miR-24-3p, hsa-miR-25-3p, hsa-miR-26a-5p, hsa-miR-27b-3p, hsa-miR-29a-3p, hsa-miR-29b-3p, hsa-miR-29c-3p, hsa-miR-30a-3p, hsa-miR-30a-5p, hsa-miR-30b-5p, hsa-miR-30c-5p, hsa-miR-30e-5p, hsa-miR-31-3p, hsa-miR-31-5p, hsa-miR-320a, hsa-miR-320b, hsa-miR-320c, hsa-miR-331-3p, hsa-miR-362-3p, hsa-miR-362-5p, hsa-miR-363-3p, hsa-miR-375, hsa-miR-378a-3p, hsa-miR-425-3p, hsa-miR-425-5p, hsa-miR-455-3p, hsa-miR-490-3p, hsa-miR-660-5p, hsa-miR-93-5p, hsa-miR-99a-5p, and hsa-miR-99b-5p, in a urine sample from the patient. A method wherein the at least two selected miRs are: hsa-miR-30c-5p, hsa-miR-222-3p, and hsa-miR-24-3p is preferred. The application also concerns a kit of parts to perform the in vitro method.
