MiRNA profiling of multiple myeloma, MGUS, multiple myeloma cell lines and normal plasma cells

ABSTRACT: miRNA profiling in multiple myeloma - microRNAs represent a class of noncoding regulators of gene expression implicated in several biological and pathophysiological processes, including cancer. We investigate here their role in multiple myeloma using miChip-arrays interrogating 559 miRNAs in 92 purified myeloma-, MGUS-, normal plasma cell- and myeloma cell line samples. Impact on gene expression is assessed by Affymetrix U133 2.0 DNA-microarrays in 741 samples including two cohorts of 332 and 345 myeloma patients; chromosomal aberrations are assessed by iFISH, survival for 247 and 345 patients undergoing up-front high-dose therapy and autologous stem cell transplantation. Compared to normal plasma cells, 67/559 (12%) miRNAs are differentially expressed with fold changes of 4.6 to -3.1 in m
