Background. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal neoplasm because of difficulties in early detection. Several studies have recently suggested that exosomes may have potential as novel biomarkers. This study aimed to isolate exosomes from pancreatic juice and to investigate whether exosomal microRNAs (ex-miRs) could be used as biomarkers for PDAC.Methods. Pancreatic juice was collected from patients with PDAC and chronic pancreatitis (CP) by endoscopic retrograde pancreatography. Exosomes were extracted by ultracentrifugation. The presence of exosomes was confirmed by electron microscopy and Western blotting using anti-CD63, -CD81, and -TSG101 antibodies. Relative levels of ex-miR-21 and ex-miR-155 were quantified and compared between PDAC and CP patients.Results. A total of 35 pancreatic juice samples (27 PDAC and 8 CP) were collected. Relative levels of both ex-miR-21 and ex-miR-155 were significantly higher in PDAC patients compared with CP patients (p
