Exosomes are extracellular membrane vesicles of 50-to 130-nm diameter secreted by most tumor cells. Exosomes can mediate the intercellular transfer of proteins and RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs), and promote both tumorigenesis and premetastatic niche formation. In this study, we performed exosomal RNA sequencing to identify candidate exosomal miRNAs that could be associated with colorectal cancer (CRC) and its distant metastasis. The expression profiles of exosomal miRNA, as secreted by isogenic human primary CRC cell line SW480 and highly metastatic cell line SW620, were analyzed and the potential targets related to tumorigenesis and metastatic progression were investigated. We found that 25 miRNAs had been up-regulated and 5 miRNAs had been down-regulated in exosomes purified from SW620 culture supernatant. Candidate miRNAs were further evaluated for CRC diagnosis using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction in CRC patients. Higher expression levels of circulating exosomal miR-17-5p and miR-92a-3p were significantly associated with pathologic stages and grades of the CRC patients. CONCLUSIONS: Circulating exosomal miR-17-5p and miR92a- 3p may provide a promising noninvasive prognostic biomarker for primary and metastatic CRC.
