Non-invasive diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder by evaluation of cell-free DNA and microRNA in urine
Brisuda, Antonín ; Babjuk, Marek (advisor) ; Hora, Milan (referee) ; Broďák, Miloš (referee)
Bladder cancer represents the most common malignancy of the uropoetic tract. Its incidence has been stable in the last couple of years in the Czech Republic, worldwide rises though. A ratio of incidence and mortality is considerable in bladder cancer since it is highest out of all genitourinary malignancies. An early diagnosis and adequate treatment is therefor determinig for its prognosis. There are several commercialy available urine tests, none of them is recommended as a standard diagnostic tool in any indication though. Urine cytology, as a complement of invasive cystoscopy, remains the only widely used method with all its limitations. Cell-free nucleic acids in urine (urine supernatant) belong amongs potential tumour biomarkers. Cell-free urinary DNA (ucfDNA) is excreted by cells undergoing necrosis or apoptosis although it can also originate from living cells. Their level in urine or serum can thus indicate a presence of malignancy. Micro RNA (miRNA) are short non-coding sequences of RNA produced outside of nucleus. They bind to complementary sequences of mRNA thus affecting its translation and protein formation. As such they play an important role in cell division and cancerogenesis. In our study, we correlated levels of ucfDNA in controls and patients with urothelial carcinoma of different...
