Differential gene expression profiles associated with CAIX expression in patients with ER negative breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease classified into 3 major subtypes based on the presence or absence of molecular markers for oestrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR) and human epidermal growth factor-2 (Her2) . Hormone receptor-positive BC (ER+, PR+ and Her-2-), accounts for approximately 70% of patients. Patients with ER- BC account for approximately 30 % of all cases and commonly have a worse prognosis than ER+ patients (9). However, a significant proportion of ER- cases have good outcomes and could potentially benefit from a less aggressive therapy. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC, ER-, PR- and Her-2-) accounts for approximately 15% of breast cancers and has the poorest outcomes. An hypoxic microenvironment is an important intrinsic component of solid tumours that can result in rapid proliferation of cancer cells and is associated with the lack of oxgyen and abnormal tumour blood vessels. Hypoxia stimulates the hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) that transactivates genes associated with angiogenesis, tumour growth, metastasis, metabolic reprogramming, and treatment resistance. HIF-1α is recognised to induce the expression of carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX), an enzyme that has been attributed a central role in pH regulation and cancer progression and is particularly pronounced in peri necrotic tumour areas, high-grade BCs. The adaption to hypoxia is governed by multiple transcriptional and post-transcriptional changes in gene expression. Up to 1.5 % of the human genome is estimated to be transcriptionally responsive to hypoxia. Genes and pathways which have been identified as being responsive to hypoxia may have the potential to be used as prognostic or predictive markers, and furthermore, can help identify novel therapeutic targets. The aim of the present study was to gain a better understanding of the transcriptomic and protein pathways associated with CAIX in ER- BC to identify potential therapeutic targets against this aggressive phenotype.

Project description:Breast cancer (BC) is a commonly identified life-threatening type of cancer and a major cause of death among women worldwide. Several microRNAs (miRs), including miR-143-5p, have been reported to be vital for regulating hallmarks of cancer; however, the effect of miR-143-5p on BC requires further exploration. The present study performed bioinformatics analysis on GSE42072 and GSE41922 datasets from the National Center for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify miR-143-5p expression patterns. Furthermore, miR-143-5p expression was detected in BC cell lines and tissues via reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Post-transfection with miR-143-5p mimics, Cell Counting Kit-8, colony formation and Transwell assays were performed to explore the effects of miR-143-5p on BC cell proliferation, colony formation, and migration. The association of miR-143-5p with the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)-associated glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) pathway was explored via western blotting, immunofluorescence and dual-luciferase reporter assay. The present study detected high expression of miR-143-5p in BC tissue of the GSE42072 and serum of the GSE41922 datasets by GEO chip analysis. Additionally, the expression levels of miR-143-5p were decreased in BC tissues compared with those in adjacent healthy tissues, and low miR-143-5p expression was associated with a poorer prognosis and shorter survival time in patients with BC. In vitro, miR-143-5p expression levels were decreased in BC cells, and transfection with miR-143-5p mimics suppressed BC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration. Furthermore, miR-143-5p targeted the HIF-1α-related GLUT1 pathway, and inhibited HIF-1α and GLUT1 expression. Additionally, HIF-1α agonists reversed the miR-143-5p-induced inhibition during tumorigenesis. In conclusion, miR-143-5p exhibited low expression in BC tissues, and suppressed BC cell proliferation, colony formation, migration. Moreover, the antitumor effects of miR-143-5p targeted the HIF-1α-related GLUT1 pathway.
