Abstract Objective The expression pattern of exosomal miRNAs derived from parathyroid tumor is still unknown. In the present work, we aimed to examine the differences on microRNA (miRNA) expression, present in serum exosomes, by comparing parathyroid carcinoma (PC) and parathyroid adenoma (PA). Methods MiRNA expression profile of serum exosomes, derived from 4 PC patients and 4 PA patients, were analyzed by next-generation sequencing technology. The differential expressions of target miRNAs were further verified in both serum exosomes and tissues of PC/PA patients by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Lastly, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to investigate the efficiency of target exosomal miRNAs in distinguishing PC patients from PA controls. Results Multiple differentially expressed miRNAs of serum exosomes were screened out by sequencing. Based on this screening, hsa-miR-146b-5p (p = 0.0846), hsa-miR-27a-5p (p = 0.0412), hsa-miR-93-5p (p = 0.73), hsa-miR-381-3p (p = 0.1239) and hsa-miR-134-5p (p = 0.0694) were upregulated in the serum exosomes of PC patients. These results were validated by qPCR, where the trend on differential miRNA expression was consistent with the sequencing results. Specifically, the expression of exosomal hsa-miR-27a-5p was able to clearly distinguish PC patients from PA controls, and related analysis indicated that the area under the ROC curve was 0.8594 (p = 0.0157). Conclusions Here we present, for the first time, the miRNA expression profile of serum exosomes derived from PC patients. Based on this result, we presently suggest that the exosomal hsa-miR-27a-5p may serve as a putative tumor marker for preoperative identification of PC and PA subjects.

Introduction Parathyroid carcinoma (PC), a rare endocrine malignancy, is one of the causes of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and accounts for less than 1% of all PHPT cases [1]. Reportedly, the 5- and 10-year overall survival rates of PC patients are 82.3% and 66%, respectively [2]. An uncontrollable hypercalcemia induced by PC recurrence
