The evaluation of exosomal miRNA biomarkers for cachexia. The evaluation of exosomal miRNA biomarkers for cachexia

In order to screen miRNAs related to cachexia, we collected plasma from patients with gastric cancer cachexia or without cachexia, and extracted exosomes from plasma. Then, we analyzed the gene expression profile of 3 gastric cancer patients with cachexia and 2 gastric cancer patients with non cachexia. Overall design: Comparative gene expression profile analysis of RNA seq data between patients with gastric cancer cachexia and patients with gastric cancer without cachexia.
