Differentiating liposarcoma from lipoma using a simple blood test: A miRNA signature

ABSTRACT: Background: Liposarcoma constitute about 13% of all soft tissue sarcoma and are associated with a high risk of metastases. As the preoperative differentiation between benign and malign lipomatous tumors is restricted to magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and biopsy, we performed a miRNA array to distinguish liposarcoma patients from healthy controls and lipoma patients. Workflow: Blood samples of patients with dedifferentiated liposarcoma, healthy controls and lipoma patients were collected. Whole blood RNA was extracted and samples of patients with dedifferentiated liposarcoma (n=6) and of healthy donors (n=4) were analyzed using an Affymetrix GeneChip miRNA Array v. 4.0. qRT-PCR was carried out to confirm the most differentially expressed miRNA; being further analyzed in an independent cohort of healthy controls as well as in lipoma patients. Results: As shown by the microarray, two miRNAs (miR-4668-5p and miR-3613-3p) were shown to be significantly upregulated (fold change: >2.5; p<0.05) in patients with dedifferentiated liposarcoma (n=6) as compared to healthy controls (n=4). miR-4668-5p was further validated by qRT-PCR to be significantly upregulated in liposarcoma patients compared to an independent cohort of healthy controls (n=3) and lipoma patients (n=6). Conclusion: We identified a specific whole blood miRNA (miR-4668-5p) that may serve to distinguish between lipoma and liosarcoma patients, thus potentially serving as a specific biomarker for dedifferentiated liposarcoma.

Small RNA-seq analysis of circulating miRNAs to identify phenotypic variability in Friedreich's ataxia patients

Project description:Friedreich’s ataxia (FRDA; OMIM 229300), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative mitochondrial disease, is the most prevalent hereditary ataxia. In addition, FRDA patients showed additional non-neurological features such as scoliosis, diabetes and cardiac complications. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is found in two thirds of patients at the time of diagnosis, is the primary cause of death in these patients. In this data set, using small RNA-sequencing of small RNA purified from plasma samples of FRDA patients and controls we identified differential expression of miRNAs (hsa-miR-128-3p, hsa-miR-625-3p, hsa-miR-130b-5p, hsa-miR-151a-5p, hsa-miR-330-3p, hsa-miR-323a-3p, and hsa-miR-142-3p) between both groups. In addition, we found that miR-323a-3p can be used as a biomarker for differentiation of FRDA patients with cardiac problems. Identification of miRNA signatures could therefore provide new molecular explanation for pathological mechanisms occurring during the natural history of the FRDA. Since miRNA levels change with disease progression and pharmacological interventions, miRNAs will contribute to design new therapeutic strategies and improve clinical decisions. Plama miRNA profiles of 25 Friedreich's ataxia patients and 17 healthy subjects were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiScan SQ.

Differential expression profiles of plasma exosomal microRNAs identify potential biomarkers for rheumatoid arthritis

Project description:Aims: Differential expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNAs) are associated with autoimmune diseases. This study sought to elucidate the plasma exosomal miRNA expression profiles of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and their potential clinical significance. Methods: In the screening phase, small RNA sequencing was performed to characterize dysregulated exosome-derived miRNAs in the plasma samples from six RA patients and six healthy controls. In the independent validation phase, the candidate plasma exosomal miRNAs were verified in 40 RA patients and 32 healthy controls using quantitative real-time PCR. The association of miRNA levels with clinical characteristics in RA patients was tested. The value of these miRNAs in diagnosing RA was assessed with the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: Totally 177 and 129 miRNAs were upregulated and downregulated, respectively in RA patients versus healthy controls in the screening phase. There were 10 candidate plasma exosomal miRNAs selected for the next identification. Compared with the healthy controls, eight plasma exosomal miRNAs (let-7a-5p, let-7b-5p, let-7d-5p, let-7f-5p, let-7g-5p, let-7i-5p, miR-128-3p, and miR-25-3p) were significantly elevated in RA patients, but miR-144-3p and miR-15a-5p expression exhibited no significant changes. The let-7a-5p and miR-25-3p levels were associated with rheumatoid factor-positive phenotype in RA patients. For the eight miRNAs, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) ranged from 0.641 to 0.843, and their combination had a high diagnostic accuracy for RA (AUC = 0.916). Conclusions: Our study illustrates that novel exosomal miRNAs in the plasma may represent potential noninvasive biomarkers for RA.

miRNA profiling in DVT patients and control subjects

Project description:Microarray and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) results showed that the Caspase-1 expression was increased while miR-513c-5p level was decreased substantially in DVT patients, and there was significant negative correlation between miR-513c-5p and Caspase-1. Knockdown of miR-513c-5p could aggravate DVT formation by enhancing Caspase-1-mediated pyroptosis, while overexpression of miR-513c-5p could alleviate DVT formation via inhibiting Caspase-1 expression. we identified pyroptosis of PBMCs with elevated expression of Caspase-1 in DVT patients. miRNA microarray analysis revealed miR-513c-5p as the most significantly down-regulated miRNA in DVT and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that miR-513c-5p level could sensitively discriminate DVT from healthy controls.

A serum microRNA panel as potential biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma related with hepatitis B virus

Project description:Background: The identification of new high sensitivity and specificity markers for HCC are essential. We aimed to identify serum microRNAs for diagnosing hepatitis B virus (HBV) â??related HCC. Methods: Serum microRNA expression was investigated with four cohorts including 667 participants (261 HCC patients ,233 cirrhosi patients and 173 healthy controls), recruited between August 2010 and June 2013. First, An initial screening of miRNA expression by Illumina sequencing was performed using serum samples pooled from HCC patients and controls,respectively. Quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction assay was then applied to evaluate the expression of selected microRNAs. A logistic regression model was constructed using a training cohort (n=357) and then validated using a cohort(n=241). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used to evaluate diagnostic accuracy. Results: , We identified 8 miRNAs(hsa-miR-206, hsa-miR-141-3p, hsa-miR-433-3p, hsa-miR-1228-5p, hsa-miR-199a-5p, hsa-miR-122-5p, hsa-miR-192-5p and hsa-miR-26a-5p.) formed a miRNA panel that provided a high diagnostic accuracy of HCC (AUC=0.887 and 0.879 for training and validation data set, respectively). The microRNA panel can also differentiate HCC from healthy (AUC =0.894) and cirrhosis (AUC = 0.892), respectively. Conclusions:We found a serum microRNAs panel that has considerable clinical value in diagnosing HCC. 9 serum samples pooled from 3 healthy control donors and 3 HCC patients, 3 cirrhosi patients treated at The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were subjected to Illumina HiSeq 2000 deep sequencing to identify the miRNAs that were significantly differentially expressed.

Serum microRNA profile of ADPKD patients

Project description:From serum samples of non-dialyzed and dialyzed patients with ADPKD and healthy control total RNA was isolated and miRNA expression was evaluated. Circulating microRNAs (miRNA) are important intercellular communication compounds. We investigated the influence of ADPKD (autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease) and hemodialysis on the profile of serum miRNAs. We found 37 significant circulating miRNA that differ between ADPKD patients (dialyzed and non-dialyzed) and healthy controls. Bioinformatic analysis revealed strongest connections between those miRNAs and KEGG pathway: MicroRNAs in cancer. We selected 3 miRNAs with highest and 3 with lowest fold change in comparison of dialyzed and non-dialyzed patients and compared their expression in paired pre-/post-dialysis samples. All up-regulated miRNAs (miR-532-3p, miR-320b, miR-144-5p) were not significantly altered by hemodialysis. From down-regulated miRNAs miR-27a-3p was shown to be significantly lower after dialysis in both total and exosomal fraction. MiR-20a-5p was down-regulated after dialysis only in the exosomal fraction whereas miR-16-5p was unaltered by hemodialysis. MiR-16-5p was selected as the best circulating biomarker of ADPKD with miR-22-3p, let-7i-5p and miR-24-3p as following best ones. Circulating representatives of miR-17 family (new drug target of ADPKD (Hajarnis et al. 2017)) sharing the same seed region (miR-20a-5p, miR-93-5p and miR-106a-5p) showed significantly lowered expressed in sera of dialyzed patients vs non-dialyzed ones and their exosomal fraction dropped after hemodialysis. We concluded that serum miRNA among ADPKD patients differ substantially depending on the stage of CKD. These alterations show possible links with cancer. The exosomal fraction of miRNA was more affected by dialysis than total fraction of miRNAs suggesting their dynamically changing functional role.

Five microRNAs in serum are able to differentiate breast cancer patients from healthy individuals

Project description:Breast Cancer is the cancer with most incidence and mortality in women. microRNAs are emerging as novel prognosis/diagnostic tools. Our aim was to identify a serum microRNA signature useful to predict cancer development. We focused on studying the expression levels of 30 microRNAs in the serum of 96 breast cancer patients versus 92 control individuals. Bioinformatic studies provide a microRNA signature, designated as a predictor, based upon the expression levels of 5 microRNAs. Then, we tested the predictor in a group of 60 randomly chosen women. Lastly, a proteomic study unveiled the over-expression and down-regulation of proteins differently expressed in the serum of breast cancer patients versus that of control individuals. Twenty-six microRNAs differentiate cancer tissue from healthy tissue and 16 microRNAs differentiate the serum of cancer patients from that of the control group. The tissue expression of miR-99a-5p, mir-497-5p, miR-362, and miR-1274, and the serum levels of miR-141 correlated with patient survival. Moreover, the predictor consisting of mir-125b-5p, miR-29c-3p, mir-16-5p, miR-1260, and miR-451a was able to differentiate breast cancer patients from controls. The predictor was validated in 20 new cases of breast cancer patients and tested in 60 volunteer women, assigning 11 out of 60 women to the cancer group. An association of low levels of mir-16-5p with a high content of CD44 protein in serum was found. Circulating microRNAs in serum can represent biomarkers for cancer prediction. Their clinical relevance and use of the predictor here described might be of potential importance for breast cancer prediction.

MOLECULAR PROFILING OF DECOMPENSATED CIRRHOSIS BY A NOVEL microRNA SIGNATURE

Project description:Objectives Non-invasive staging of decompensated cirrhosis is an unmeet clinical need. The aims of this study were to characterize and validate a novel miRNA signature to stage decompensated cirrhosis and predict the portal pressure and cardiac dysfunction response to non-selective beta-blockers (NSBB). Design Serum samples from patients with decompensated cirrhosis (n=36) and healthy controls (n=36) were tested for a novel signature of five miRNAs (miR-452-5p, miR-429, miR-885-5p, miR-181b-5p, and miR-122-5p) identified in the secretome of primary human hepatocytes, and three miRNAs (miR-192-5p, miR-34a-5p and miR-29a-5p) previously discovered as biomarkers of chronic liver disease. All patients had ascites, that was refractory in 18 (50%), and were placed on NSBB for variceal bleeding prophylaxis. In all patients, serum miRNAs, hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG), and echocardiogram study was performed before and 1 month after NSBB. Results Cirrhotic patients had lower serum levels of miR-429, miR-885-5p, miR-181b-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-192-5p and miR-29a-5p (p<0.05). miR-452-5p and miR-429 expression were lower in NSBB responders (p=0.006). miR-181b-5p expression was greater in refractory- than in diuretic sensitive ascites (p=0.008) and correlated with serum creatinine. miR-452-5p and miR-885-5p were inversely correlated with baseline systemic vascular resistance (ρ=-0.46 p=0.007; and ρ=-0.41 p=0.01 respectively), and with diminished systolic contractility in patients with refractory ascites after NSBB (ρ=-0.55 p=0.02; and ρ=-0.55 p=0.02, respectively). Conclusion Analysis of a miRNA signature in serum distinguishes patients with decompensated cirrhosis who show more severe systemic circulatory dysfunction and compromised systolic function after beta-blockade, and those more likely to benefit from NSBB.
