OBJECTIVE To evaluate microRNA (miRNA) biomarkers tor upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC.) to improve risk stratification.METHODS miRNA was isolated from 157 radical nephroureterectomy specimens from 2 institutions. The relative expression of miRNA was examined for high grade vs low grade tumors as well as muscle invasive vs nonmuscle invasive tumors. Recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were also stratified using relative expression of specific miRNA.RESULTS The optimized model to identify high grade UTUC included miR-29b-2-5p, miR-18a-5p, miR-223-3p, and miR-199a-5p, generating a sensitivity of 83%, specificity of 85%, and generated a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve with area-under-the-curve of 0.86. Similarly, the model classifier for predicting >= pT2 disease incorporated miR-10b-5p, miR-26a-5p-5p, miR-31-5p, and miR-146b-5p, producing a sensitivity of 64%, specificity of 96%, and area-under-the-curve of 0.90. RFS was best reflected by a combination of miR-10a-5p, miR-30c-5p, and miR-10b-5p, while OS was best predicted by miR-10a-5p, miR-199a-5p, miR-30c-5p, and miR-10b-5p.CONCLUSION High-grade vs low-grade as well as muscle invasive vs nonmuscle invasive UTUC can be reliable distinguished with unique miRNA signatures. Furthermore, differential expression of UTUC miRNA produces robust classifiers for predicting RFS and OS that may help identify patients who would most benefit from adjuvant therapies.
