ABSTRACT: Background
Breast cancer (BC) patients have a higher chance of survival if it is diagnosed at an early stage, which is essential for efficient treatment of the condition. The results of an elevated risk of cancer, including BC, previously associated with the ins/del polymorphism rs145204276 in the promoter region of growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) are still up for debate. Thus, this study aimed to appraise the frequency of the GAS5 rs145204276 variant with BC risk and demonstrate the potential impact of the sirtuin 1 (SIRT-1), transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), and microRNA-182 (miR-182) expression and their diagnostic value in BC.Methods
Blood samples of 155 patients with BC and fibroadenoma and 80 healthy controls were analyzed for GAS5 rs145204276 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), SIRT-1, TGF-β, and miRNA-182 expression levels.Results
Ins/ins genotype and ins allele frequencies for GAS5 rs145204276 were considerably higher in BC patients compared with controls. Patients with BC had significantly greater serum levels of TGF-β, miR-182, and SIRT-1 expression.Conclusions
The SIRT-1, TGF-β, and miR-182 genes provide novel, noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for BC.
