Small RNA profiling in mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) infected cell cultures and induced mammary tumors


ABSTRACT: Mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) is a complex retrovirus that induces breast cancer in mice in the absence of known virally-encoded oncogenes. Like other non-acute retroviruses, tumorigenesis by MMTV is thought to occur primarily through insertional mutagenesis, leading to the activation of cellular proto-oncogenes and outgrowth of selected cells. In this study, we investigated whether MMTV encodes microRNAs (miRNAs) and/or modulates host miRNAs that could contribute to tumorigenesis. We have applied high throughput small RNA sequencing to the analysis of MMTV-infected cells and MMTV-induced mammary tumors. Our results demonstrate that MMTV does not encode miRNAs. However, MMTV infected cells and MMTV-producing tumors have altered levels of several cellular miRNAs, including increases in the expression of members of the oncogenic miRNA cluster, miR-17-92. Notably, similar changes in levels of these miRNAs have been previously reported in human breast cancers. Combined, our results demonstrate that virally encoded miRNAs do not contribute to MMTV-mediated tumorigenesis, but that changes in specific host miRNAs in infected cells may contribute to virus replication and tumor biology.
