Combination of urine exosomal mRNAs and lncRNAs as novel diagnostic biomarkers for bladder cancer

Total RNAs were subjected to RNA isolation and RNA-seq analyses were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina sequencing platform. We performed RNA sequencing on three matched muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) tissues with superficial tumor regions and deep infiltrating tumor regions in order to assess its potential as biomarkers. Quantitative real-time PCR were used to validate the expression pattern of mRNAs and lncRNAs in urine exosomes. Bioinformatic tools including Gene ontology, and KEGG pathway analysis were utilized. Sequence was performed on three matched superficial and deep infiltrating tumor regions of MIBC.
