PURPOSE: Wilms' tumor (WT) is a rare kidney cancer that primarily affects children. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that cargo nucleic acids, proteins,etc. for cellular communication. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have utility as biomarkers for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and disease monitoring. We hypothesize that expression of lncRNA, metastasis-associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript-1(MALAT1), is dysregulated and possibly trafficked within exosomes to influence the tissue microenvironment for metastasis and recurrence of WT.

METHODS: We investigated the expression of MALAT1 in thirty WT samples by qPCR. Exosomes were isolated using a precipitated and affinity-binding-based kit, and characterized using TEM, NTA, and DLS.

RESULTS: Mean number of exosomes was 9.01×108/mL in primary culture, 1.64×108/mL in urine, and 4.65×108/plasma:400µl. Average yield of total RNA was 1.28µg (primary-culture supernatant:1ml), 1.47µg (Urine:1ml), 1.65µg (Plasma:400 µL). We quantified MALAT1 in exosomes derived from these sources in patients of WT. Expression of MALAT1 was significantly downregulated (p=0.008) in WT samples.

CONCLUSION: This is the first study that demonstrated the presence of lncRNA MALAT1 in various invasive and non-invasive samples of patients with WT(primary tissue culture, urine, and plasma samples).
