We have previously shown that a transcriptome is found in saliva and sub-panels of these mRNAs can be used as oral cancer biomarkers. In this study, we measured the presence of micro-RNAs (miRNAs) in saliva and determined their potential as an additional set of oral cancer biomarkers. A total of 314 miRNAs were measured using reverse transcriptase-preamplification-quantitative PCR (RT-preamp-qPCR) in 12 healthy controls. Degradation pattern of endogenous and exogenous saliva miRNAs were measured at room temperature over time. Finally, selected miRNAs were validated in saliva of 50 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and 50 healthy matched control subjects. We detected approximately 50 miRNAs in both the whole and supernatant saliva. Endogenous saliva miRNA degraded much slower compared to exogenous miRNA. Two miRNAs, miR-125a and miR-200a, were present in significantly lower levels (p<0.05) in the saliva of OSCC patients than in control samples. Both whole and supernatant saliva of healthy controls contained dozens of miRNAs, and similar to saliva mRNAs, these miRNAs also appear to be stable. Saliva miRNAs can be used for oral cancer detection.
