Table 2

Summary of the current studies that evaluated microRNAs expression profile in blood samples of adrenocortical tumor patients.

Study Tumors Dysregulated microRNAs

Patel et al., 2013 [57]17 ACAs, 22 ACCsmiR-34a, miR-483-5p

Chabre et al., 2013 [53]8 ACAs, 9 ACCsmiR-139-5p, miR-483-5pā€‰
miR-195, miR-335, miR-376a

Szabo et al., 2014 [58]14 ACAs, 23 ACCsmiR-100, miR-181b, miR-184, miR-483-5p

ACAs: adrenocortical adenomas; ACCs: adrenocortical carcinomas; miRNAs in bold are overexpressed and regular ones are underexpressed in carcinomas comparing to adenoma.
