The Overexpressed MicroRNAs miRs-182, 155, 493, 454, and U6 snRNA and Underexpressed let-7c, miR-328, and miR-451a as Potential Biomarkers in Invasive Breast Cancer and Their Clinicopathological Significance.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Breast cancer comprises the leading cause of cancer-related death in women. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important factors with concern to carcinogenesis and have potential for use as biomarkers.

Methods

This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the microRNA expression in invasive breast carcinoma of no special type tissues compared with benign tissues via large-scale screening and the candidate-specific validation of 15 miRNAs and U6 snRNA applying qPCR and the examination of clinicopathological data.

Results

Of the six downregulated miRNAs, let-7c was identified as the most promising miRNA biomarker and its lower expression was linked with Ki-67 positivity, luminal B versus luminal A samples, multifocality, lymph node metastasis, and infer
