MicroRNAs as biomarkers for trastuzumab-based therapy in HER2-positive advanced oesophago-gastric cancer patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to identify microRNAs (miRs) as circulating biomarkers of resistance to first-line trastuzumab-based therapy in advanced HER2-positive oesophago-gastric cancer patients.

Methods

A high-throughput 1015 Exiqon miRCURY LNA™ microRNA inhibitor library screen was performed in trastuzumab-treated HER2-positive NCI-N87 and HER2-negative FLO-1 oesophago-gastric cancer cell lines. NanoString nCounter^® miR analysis was performed in NCI-N87, FLO-1, and MAGIC trial (ISRCTN93793971) formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) oesophago-gastric cancer patient samples. MiR-148a-3p copies in plasma samples were quantified using digital droplet polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) from HER2-positive oesophago-gastric cancer patients treated with standard-of-ca
