“…As demonstrated in Table 1, miR-15b and miR-21 from CSF, 6 7-miRNA panel from serum, 7 miR-15b and miR-21 from plasma, 10 9-miRNA panel from serum, 15 9-miRNA panel from CSF, 20 as well as miR-21, miR-222, and miR-124-3p from serum exosome 24 performed well in the diagnosis of glioma, which may be because these panels of miRNAs have common mRNA targets or participate in the common pathways such as Hedgehog, Notch, Wnt, EGFR, TGFβ and HIF1α, etc. 33 For example, ANKS1B, COX15, CREBRF, GABRB2, PDHA1, PLAG1, and UBR3 are common mRNA targets for the panel of miR-15b and miR-21 predicted by miRDB. 34 The molecular mechanism underlying the limitation of a single-miRNA biomarker may be that aberrant levels of single miRNA might be associated with several different types of cancers.…”
