The potential of miR-153 as aggressive prostate cancer biomarker.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Prostate cancer (PC) is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in males. MiR-153, as a member of the microRNA (miRNA) family, plays an important role in PC. This study aims to explore the expression and possible molecular mechanisms of the miR-153 action.

Methods

Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues were collected from prostatectomy specimens of 29 metastatic and 32 initial stage PC patients. Expression levels of miR-153 were measured using real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). 2-ΔΔCT method was used for quantitative gene expression assessment. The candidate target genes for miR-153 were predicted by TargetScan. Mutations in target genes of miR-153 were identified using exome sequencing. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analyses were performed to investigate the potential molecular mechanisms of miR-153 in PC.

Results

MiR-153 was significantly up-regulated in PC tissues compared to non-cancerous tissues. The analysis of correlation between the expression level of miR-153 and clinicopathological factors revealed a statistically significant correlation with the stage of the tumor process according to tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) staging system (p = 0.0256). ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the predictive ability of miR-153 for metastasis development and it revealed miR-153 as a potential prognostic marker (AUC = 0.85; 95%CI 0.75-0.95; sensitivity = 0.72, specificity = 0.86)). According to logistic regression model the high expression of miR-153 increased the risk of metastasis development (odds ratios = 3.14, 95% CI 1.62-8.49; p-value = 0.006). Whole exome sequencing revealed nonsynonymous somatic mutations in collagen type IV alpha 1 (COL4A1), collagen type IV alpha 3 (COL4A3), forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1), 2-hydroxyacyl-CoA lyase 1 (HACL1), hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1A), and nidogen 2 (NID2) genes. Moreover, KEGG analysis revealed that the extracellular matrix-receptor (ECM-receptor) interaction pathway is mainly involved in PC.

Conclusion

MiR-153 is up-regulated in PC tissues and may play an important role in aggressive PC by targeting potential target genes.

Project description:BackgroundFamilial triple-negative breast cancers are often linked to mutations in the BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene. In sporadic triple-negative breast cancers BRCA1 is frequently inactivated at the transcriptional level, and it has been reported that this inactivation may be brought about by promoter methylation. More recently, it was found that BRCA1 may also be regulated at the post-transcriptional level by miRNAs. Here, we explored the expression of putative BRCA1-regulating miRNAs in sporadic human triple-negative breast cancer cells.MethodsNine sporadic human breast cancer-derived cell lines and one benign breast epithelium-derived cell line were assessed for their hormone receptor, growth factor receptor and cytokeratin status by immunocytochemistry. The expression of 5 selected miRNAs predicted to target BRCA1 was assessed using qRT-PCR in the 10 cell lines. In addition, expression profiles of 84 known breast cancer-associated miRNAs were established in these 10 cell lines using PCR Array and qRT-PCR, respectively. The putative role of pre-selected candidate miRNAs in breast cancer development was assessed through exogenous expression of these miRNAs and their anti-miRNAs ('antagomirs') in MDA-MB-231 and MCF7 breast cancer-derived cells.ResultsBased on our expression profiling results, four candidate miRNAs (miR-10b, miR-26a, miR-146a and miR-153) were selected as being potentially involved in triple-negative breast cancer development. Exogenous expression assays revealed that miR-10b and miR-26a, but not miR-146a, can down-regulate the expression of BRCA1 in both triple-negative MDA-MB-231 and luminal epithelial MCF7 breast cancer-derived cells, whereas miR-153 could down-regulate BRCA1 expression only in MCF7 cells. In silico analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data confirmed that miR-146a is significantly higher expressed in triple-negative breast tumors compared to other (non triple-negative) breast tumors.ConclusionOur work provides evidence for the involvement of specific miRNAs in triple-negative breast cancer development through regulating BRCA1 expression.

Project description:BackgroundSmall molecule RNAs (miRNAs) could induce downregulation of α-synuclein (SNCA) expression by binding the 3' untranslated region of SNCA, thus playing an important role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Recent studies suggest that SNCA-related miRNAs in saliva are promising PD biomarkers. Research on those miRNAs in plasma is rare in patients with PD.ObjectiveTo detect the plasma expression levels of three SNCA related miRNAs (miR-7, miR-153, and miR-223) in PD, and to explore their diagnostic value and associations with clinical phenotype.MethodsMiR-7, miR-153, and miR-223 levels were detected in the plasma of 75 PD patients and 73 normal controls (NCs) via real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were delineated to evaluate their diagnostic value in PD. In addition, their associations with demographic, key motor, and non-motor symptoms were explored by serial scales.ResultsThe expression levels of plasma miR-153 and miR-223 were significantly decreased in patients with PD relative to NCs. The area under the ROC curve separating PD from NCs was 63.1% for miR-153 and 86.2% for miR-223, respectively. The plasma miR-153 level in de novo PD was lower than that in treated patients (p = 0.006), its level increased gradually with disease duration (r = 0.358, p = 0.002) and Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale Part III score (r = 0.264, p = 0.022). Plasma miR-223 level was decreased in patients with clinical possible rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (cpRBD) compared with those without cpRBD (p < 0.001), and its level was negatively associated with RBDSQ score (r = -0.334, p = 0.003). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that disease duration (p = 0.049) was the independently associated factor of miR-153 level; whereas, RBDSQ (p = 0.009) was related to miR-223 level in PD.ConclusionPlasma miR-153 and miR-223 levels could be potential biomarkers of PD.
