AB Lung cancer (LC) is the most common cause of cancer death, with 75% of cases being diagnosed in late stages. This study aimed to determine potential miRNAs as biomarkers for the early detection of LC in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) cases. Ninety-nine patients were included, with registered clinical and lung function parameters followed for 6 years. miRNAs were determined in 16 serum samples from COPD patients (four with LC and four controls) by next generation sequencing (NGS) at LC diagnosis and 3 years before. The validation by qPCR was performed in 33 COPD-LC patients and 66 controls at the two time points. Over 170 miRNAs (≥10 TPM) were identified; among these, miR-224-5p, miR-206, miR-194-5p, and miR-1246 were significantly dysregulated (p < 0.001) in COPD-LC 3 years before LC diagnosis when compared to the controls. The validation showed that miR-1246 and miR-206 were differentially expressed in COPDpatients who developed LC three years before (p = 0.035 and p = 0.028, respectively). The in silico enrichment analysis showed miR-1246 and miR-206 to be linked to gene mediators in various signaling pathways related to cancer. Our study demonstrated that miR-1246 and miR-206 have potential value as non-invasive biomarkers of early LC detection in COPD patients who could benefit from screening programs.
