Differential diagnosis of synovial sarcoma from other soft tissue sarcomas by circulating/secreted miR-92b-3p. (A,B) The expression of miR-92b-3p and miR-150-3p in cells (A) and cell culture media (B) of SS (SYO-1, YaFuSS, HS-SY-II, and Yamato-SS) and the other STS cell lines (HT1080, NMS2, and UPS2023). The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. (C) Serum miR-92b-3p levels in SS patients and other STS patients (p < 0.001). The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. (D) ROC curve analysis of miR-92b-3p discriminating SS patients from other STS patients. AUC was 0.88 (95% confidence interval = 0.72–1.0). (E) Serum miR-150-3p expression levels in SS patients and other STS patients. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. (F) ROC curve analysis of miR-150-3p discriminating SS patients from other STS patients. AUC was 0.54 (95% confidence interval = 0.33–0.75).
