MicroRNA differential expression in malignant pleural mesothelioma versus normal mesothelial specimens.

ABSTRACT: MiRNA screening was performed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in a series of 14 formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) samples representative of the epithelioid, biphasic and sarcomatoid histotypes in comparison with normal mesothelium. MiRNA expression in FFPE MPM and normal mesothelial specimens was analyzed through the miRCURY™ LNA™ Array microRNA Profiling Service (Exiqon). RNA samples were subjected to quality control and, subsequently, 450 ng were labelled with the Hy3™ fluorescent label with the miRCURY™ LNA™ Array power labelling kit. A common reference, against which each individual sample could be tested to assay biological variations among the specimens, was constituted by pooling equal amounts of RNA from each tumor and control
