“…Roskova et al studied microRNAs expression in brain metastases arising from different origins, and they found that there is a significantly different expression of six microRNAs in five groups of brain metastases, including brain metastases with origin in melanomas, renal cell carcinomas, breast carcinomas, lung carcinomas, colorectal carcinomas [ 38 ]. These microRNAs include microRNA-141-3p, microRNA-141-5p, microRNA-146a-5p, microRNA-194-5p, microRNA-200b-3p, microRNA-365b-5p [ 38 ].…”

Brain metastasis is considered the most common brain tumor. They arise from different primary cancers. The most common primary tumors giving brain metastases include breast, colorectal, lung, melanoma, and renal cancer. Depending only on history, physical examination, and conventional imaging modalities makes brain tumors diagnosis difficult. Rapid and non-invasive promising modalities could diagnose and differentiate between different brain metastases without exposing the patients to unnecessary brain surgeries for biopsies. One of these promising modalities is non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). NcRNAs can determine brain metastases' prognosis, chemoresistance, and radioresistance. It also helps us to understand the pathophysiology of brain metastases development.Additionally, ncRNAs may work as potential therapeutic targets for brain metastases treatment and prevention. Herein, we present deregulated ncRNAs in different brain metastases, including microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), such as gastric adenocarcinoma, colorectal, breast, melanoma, lung, and prostate cancer. Additionally, we focus on serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) expression of these ncRNAs in patients with brain metastases compared to patients with primary tumors. Moreover, we discuss the role of ncRNAs in modulating the immune response in the brain microenvironment. More clinical studies are encouraged to assess the specificity and sensitivity of these ncRNAs.

Background: Brain metastases (BMs) are frequent and devastating complications of systemic malignancies, necessitating accurate diagnosis and origin identification for effective treatment strategies. Invasive biopsies are currently required for definitive diagnosis, highlighting the need for less invasive diagnostic approaches and robust biomarkers. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have demonstrated potential as sensitive and specific diagnostic biomarkers in various cancers. Thus, our objective was to identify and compare miRNA profiles in BM tissue, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and plasma, with a specific focus on liquid biopsies for diagnostic purposes. Methods: Total RNA enriched for miRNAs was isolated from histopathologically confirmed BM tissues (n=30), corresponding plasma samples (n=30), and CSF samples (n=27) obtained from patients with diverse BM types. Small RNA sequencing was employed for miRNA expression profiling. Results: Significantly differentially expressed miRNAs were observed in BM tissues, enabling the differentiation of primary origins, particularly breast, colorectal, renal cell carcinoma, and melanoma metastases. The heterogeneity observed in lung carcinomas also manifested in the corresponding BMs, posing challenges in accurate discrimination from other BMs. While tissue-specific miRNA signatures exhibited the highest precision, our findings suggest low diagnostic potential of circulating miRNAs in CSF and blood plasma for BM patients. Conclusions: Our study represents the first analysis of miRNA expression/levels in a unique set of three biological materials (tissue, blood plasma, CSF) obtained from the same BM patients using small RNA sequencing. The presented results underscore the importance of investigating aberrant miRNA expression/levels in BMs and highlight the low diagnostic utility of circulating miRNAs in patients with BMs.

The growth of liquid biopsy, i. e., the possibility of obtaining health information by analysing circulating species (nucleic acids, cells, proteins, and vesicles) in peripheric biofluids, is pushing the field of sensors and biosensors beyond the limit to provide decentralised solutions for nonspecialists. In particular, among all the circulating species that can be adopted in managing cancer evolution, both for diagnostic and prognostic applications, microRNAs have been highly studied and detected. The development of electrochemical devices is particularly relevant for liquid biopsy purposes, and the screen‐printed electrodes (SPEs) represent one of the building blocks for producing novel portable devices. In this work, we have taken miR‐2115‐3p as model target (it is related to lung cancer), and we have developed a biosensor by exploiting the use of a complementary DNA probe modified with methylene blue as redox mediator. In particular, the chosen sensing architecture was applied to serum measurements of the selected miRNA, obtaining a detection limit within the low nanomolar range; in addition, various platforms were interrogated, namely commercial and hand‐made SPEs, with the aim of providing the reader with some insights about the optimal platform to be used by considering both the cost and the analytical performance.
