Advancing RNA liquid biopsy technology via nanopore sequencing

Abstract RNA liquid biopsies enable the systemic profiling of tissues and organs in our bodies in a minimally invasive manner. Cell-free RNAs are dynamically secreted by the cells that comprise our tissues and organs but are thought to be largely degraded in the blood. We performed nanopore sequencing on cell-free RNAs isolated from pancreatic cancer patient plasma and found that thousands of genes are detectable as full-length cell-free RNAs in vivo. Using our repeat-aware COMPLETE-seq RNA liquid biopsy technology, we found that pancreatic cancer patients exhibit high levels of repetitive cell-free RNAs in the blood, with full-length, short interspersed nuclear element (SINE)-derived cell-free RNAs being among the most abundant repetitive RNAs. Moreover, we found that utilizing repetitive cell-free RNA features improved the performance of our machine learning models for cancer classification. Our findings highlight the value of long-read nanopore sequencing of cell-free RNAs for discovering and characterizing novel biomarkers of disease.
