A Bioinformatics Approach to MicroRNA-Sequencing Analysis Based on Human Saliva Samples of Patients with Endometriosis

Abstract

Endometriosis, defined by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, affects 2–10% of the female population, i.e., around 190 million women, worldwide. The aim of the prospective ENDO-miRNA study was to develop a bioinformatics approach for microRNA-sequencing analysis of 200 saliva samples for miRNAome expression and to test its diagnostic accuracy for endometriosis. Among the 200 patients, 76.5% (n = 153) had confirmed endometriosis and 23.5% (n = 47) had no endometriosis (controls). Small RNA-seq of 200 saliva samples yielded ~4642 M raw sequencing reads (from ~13.7 M to ~39.3 M reads/sample). The number of expressed miRNAs ranged from 1250 (outlier) to 2561 per sample. Some 2561 miRNAs were found to be differentially expressed in the saliva samples of patients with endometriosis compared with the control patients. Among these, 1.17% (n = 30) were up- or downregulated. Among these, the F1-score, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC ranged from 11–86.8%, 5.8–97.4%, 10.6–100%, and 39.3–69.2%, respectively. Here, we report a bioinformatic approach to saliva miRNA sequencing and analysis. We underline the advantages of using saliva over blood in terms of ease of collection, reproducibility, stability, safety, non-invasiveness. This report describes the whole saliva transcriptome to make miRNA quantification a validated, standardized, and reliable technique for routine use. The methodology could be applied to build a saliva signature of endometriosis.
