Tumor microRNA expression profiling identifies circulating microRNAs for earlier breast cancer detection

ABSTRACT: Due to their role in tumorigenesis and remarkable stability in body fluids, microRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as a promising diagnostic tool. The aim of this study was to identify tumor miRNA signatures for the discrimination of breast cancer and the intrinsic molecular subtypes, and the study in plasma of the status of the most significant ones in order to identify potential circulating biomarkers for breast cancer detection. MiRNA expression profiling of 1919 human miRNAs was conducted in 122 FFPE breast tumors (31 luminal A, 33 luminal B, 27 Her2 and 31 triple negative) and 11 normal breast tissues using LNA based miRNA microarrays. Breast tumors were divided into a training (n=61) and a test set (n=61). Both series comprised a similar number of samples from each molecular subtype. Differential expression analysis was performed and microarray classifiers were developed with samples from the training set and validated in samples from the test set. The most relevant miRNAs were validated by quantitative PCR and analyzed in plasma from 36 pretreated patients, 47 postreated patients and 26 healthy individuals. In addition, further validation in 114 pretreated patients and 116 healthy individuals was performed.

Project description:Dysregulation in expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in various tissues has been linked to a wide spectrum of diseases, including Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2D). In this study, we compared the expression profiles of miRNAs in blood samples from Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) and T2D male patients with tissues from T2D rat models. Healthy adult males with no past history of T2D (n=158) and with desirable cholesterol and blood pressure profiles were enrolled in this study. They were then classified according to fasting glucose levels to have T2D, IFG or as healthy controls (CTL), for comparison of miRNA expression profiles. Employing miRNA microarray, we identified ‘signature miRNAs’ in peripheral blood samples that distinguished IFG and T2D. Eight selected miRNAs were further validated using stem-loop real-time RT-PCR. miR-144 expression was found to be dysregulated in Type 2 Diabetes, wherein its expression was significantly higher than in healthy controls. Insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) has been predicted to be a potential target of miR-144. Consistent with this observation, IRS1 mRNA and protein levels, verified by quantitative real-time PCR and western blotting respectively, were found to be down-regulated. Using luciferase assay, we further demonstrated that miR-144 directly targets IRS1 and showed its effects on protein expression via immunocytochemistry. From this cross-sectional study in humans, we have identified signature miRNAs which could explain the pathogenesis of T2D. Whether miRNAs like miR-144 could be potential therapeutic targets for management of T2D will need to be explored by further mechanistic and functional studies. miRNA profiling of tissues from T2D rat models. Total RNA (plus miRNAs) was isolated using a modification of the RiboPure™-Blood kit from Ambion (Austin,TX) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. The concentration of total RNA and integrity were determined by using Nano-Drop ND-1000 Spectrophotometry (NanoDrop Tech, Rockland, Del) and gel electrophoresis respectively.

Project description:Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL) are the most frequent primary skin lymphomas. Nevertheless, diagnosis of early disease has proven difficult due to a clinical and histological resemblance to benign inflammatory skin diseases. To address if microRNA (miRNA) profiling can discriminate CTCL from benign inflammation, we study miRNA expression in 199 patients with CTCL, peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTL), and benign skin diseases (psoriasis and dermatitis). Using microarrays we show that the most induced- (miR-326, miR-663b, miR-711) and repressed- (miR-203, miR-205) miRNAs distinguish CTCL from benign skin diseases with > 90% accuracy in a training set of 90 samples and a test set of 58 blinded samples. These miRNAs also distinguish malignant and benign lesions in an independent set of 50 patients with PTL and skin inflammation and in experimental human xenograft mouse models of psoriasis and CTCL. Q-RT-PCR analysis of 104 patients with CTCL and benign skin disorders validates differential expression of 4 out of the 5 miRNAs and confirms previous reports on miR-155 in CTCL. A q-RT-PCR-based classifier consisting of miR-155, miR-203, and miR-205 distinguishes CTCL from benign disorders with high specificity, sensitivity, and a classification accuracy of 95% indicating that miRNAs have a high diagnostic potential in CTCL. miRNA microarray. From each sample 100 ng of total RNA was labeled with Hy3 fluorescent dye using the miRCURY LNA Array power labeling kit (Exiqon, Denmark). All samples were labeled the same day with the same master mix, in order to minimize technical variation. The Hy3-labelled samples were hybridized to miRCURY LNA arrays (v11.0) (Exiqon, Denmark), containing capture probes targeting all human miRNAs registered in the miRBASE version 15.0 at the Sanger Institute. The hybridization was performed overnight at 56Â°C according to manufacturer specifications using a Tecan HS4800 hybridization station (Tecan, Austria). Since it was not possible to hybridize all arrays in one go, samples were randomly split into 5 batches as to minimize day to day variation in the hybridization process. After hybridization the microarray slides were scanned using an Agilent G2565BA Microarray Scanner System (Agilent Technologies, Inc., USA) at 5Âµm resolution, and the resulting TIFF images were analyzed using the ImaGene 8.0 software on standard settings (BioDiscovery, Inc., USA).

Project description:MicroRNA expression in the mouse eye.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are key regulators of biological processes. To define miRNA function in the eye, it is essential to determine a high-resolution profile of their spatial and temporal distribution. In this report, we present the first comprehensive survey of miRNA expression in ocular tissues, using both microarray and RNA in situ hybridization (ISH) procedures. We initially determined the expression profiles of miRNAs in the retina, lens, cornea and retinal pigment epithelium of the adult mouse eye by microarray. Each tissue exhibited notably distinct miRNA enrichment patterns and cluster analysis identified groups of miRNAs that showed predominant expression in specific ocular tissues or combinations of them. Next, we performed RNA ISH for over 220 miRNAs, including those showing the highest expression levels by microarray, and generated a high-resolution expression atlas of miRNAs in the developing and adult wild-type mouse eye, which is accessible in the form of a publicly available web database. We found that 122 miRNAs displayed restricted expression domains in the eye at different developmental stages, with the majority of them expressed in one or more cell layers of the neural retina . This analysis revealed miRNAs with differential expression in ocular tissues and provided a detailed atlas of their tissue-specific distribution during development of the murine eye. The combination of the two approaches offers a valuable resource to decipher the contributions of specific miRNAs and miRNA clusters to the development of distinct ocular structures. microRNA profiling of ocular tissues from mouse. In particular we analysed the cornea, lens, Retina Pigment Epithelium (RPE) and retina and compared them against RNA extracted from the entire eye. The purpose of this experiment was to understand which microRNAs are present nd/or show differential expression in the various structures of the eye (cornea, lens, RPE, retina). The samples numbered 1 & 2 (i.e. CORNEA1, CORNEA2 etc ) are biological replicates, prepared from tissues dissecyed from different groups of wild-type animals. RNA extracted from the entire eye (EYE) served as the unique reference sample. For each tissue to be analysed we performed the following hybridizations: - 2 slides for lens (LENS1, LENS2) vs entire eye (EYE) - 2 slides for RPE (RPE1, RPE2) vs entire eye (EYE) - 2 slides for retina (RETINA1, RETINA2) vs entire eye (EYE) - 2 slides for cornea (CORNEA1, CORNEA2) vs entire eye (EYE) - 1 slide for entire eye (EYE) vs entire eye (EYE)

Project description:Introduction: Although changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression correlate with breast cancer diagnostic markers, comparatively little is known about miRNA regulation by selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), e.g., tamoxifen (TAM), or their role in endocrine-resistance. Methods: A microarray approach was used to identify miRNAs differentially expressed and regulated by 4-hydroxyTAM (4-OHT) in MCF-7/TAM-sensitive versus LY2 TAM/endocrine-resistant human breast cancer cells after 6 h treatment. The expression of specific miRNAs was validated by quantitative, real-time PCR. Control miRNAs and time-course studies showed important gene-, time-, and cell- specific differences in miRNA expression. Results: 97 miRNAs were differentially expressed in MCF-7 versus LY2 cells. Bioinformatic analyses to impute the biological significance of these miRNAs by identifying 36 predicted gene targets of these miRNAs from amongst those reported to be regulated by MCF-7 cells was performed and agreement was found in direction of anticipated regulation for 12 of those putative targets. Among the miRNAs differentially expressed in MCF-7 versus LY2 cells, and that putatively target mRNAs regulated by 4-OHT in MCF-7 cells, are: miRs- 10a, 21, 22, 29a, 93, 125b, 181, 200a, 200b, 200c; 205, 221, and 222. Q-PCR assessment showed agreement with microarray data: miR- 10a, 22, 125b, 181, and 222 are higher in LY2 whereas miR-21 and miR-200a are lower in LY2 than MCF-7. 4-OHT increased miR-10a, miR-21, miR-22, miR-125b, miR-181a, miR-200a, and miR-222 in MCF-7 cells and reduced miR-10a in LY2 cells. E2 reduced the miR-21expression in MCF-7 cells. Treatment with ICI 182,780 revealed that ER suppresses miR-10a, miR-21, miR-22, miR-200a, miR-221, and miR-222 expression in MCF-7 cells. Time-dependent changes in select miRNA expression were observed in control, E2, and 4-OHT-treated MCF-7 cells. ESR1/ER? was significantly lower in LY2 than MCF-7, commensurate with higher let-7 family member, miR-221, and miR-222 expression in LY2. Reflecting inverse association with miR-200 family expression, the expression of ZEB1 was higher in LY2 than MCF-7 cells and concomitantly, E-cadherin expression was absent in LY2 cells indicating that LY2 have undergone epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Conclusions: Our studies identifying miRNAs with opposite expression between the two cell lines, indicate the involvement of these miRNAs in endocrine resistance. The purpose of this experiment is: 1. To identify miRNAs that are regulated (up or down) by 4-OHT in MCF-7 and LY2 cell lines (comparison of values from EtOH versus 4-OHT treated cells). 2. To identify miRNAs that are differentially regulated under basal (EtOH) conditions between MCF-7 and LY2 cell lines. 3. To identify miRNAs that are differentially regulated by 4-OHT in MCF-7 versus LY2 cells.
