MicroRNA expression profiling of endocrine sensitive and resistant breast cancer cell lines.

ABSTRACT:

Background

MicroRNAs (miRs) regulate gene expression through translation inhibition of target mRNAs. One of the most promising approaches for cancer therapy is through mimicking or antagonizing the action of miRs. In this report, we analyzed the miRnome profile of several human breast cancer cell lines to determine the influence of estrogen receptor (ER) silencing previously shown to result in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and enhanced tumor invasion.

Methods

MicroRNA extracted from MDA-MB-231 (de novo ER-) and ER-silenced (acquired ER-) pII and IM-26 or ER-expressing (YS1.2) siRNA transfected derivatives of MCF7 cells was deep sequenced on Illumina NextSeq500. Respective miRnomes were compared with edgeR package in R and Venny2.1 and target predic
