Global and targeted microRNA expression profiling in clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissues potentially links miR-155-5p and miR-210-3p to both tumorigenesis and recurrence [discovery phase]

ABSTRACT: About 30% of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients undergoing nephrectomy experience disease recurrence. This study aimed to profile microRNAs (miRNAs) that are dysregulated in clear cell RCC (ccRCC) tumor tissues and predictive of recurrence. The expression levels of 800 miRNAs were assessed in paired tumor and normal tissues from a discovery cohort of 18 ccRCC patients via the NanoString assay platform. MiRNAs found to be differentially expressed were further examined in a validation set of 205 patients using quantitative real-time PCR. Tumor-normal data from 64 patients in The Cancer Genome Atlas were used for external validation. Results showed 28 miRNAs were consistently dysregulated in tumor tissues. Dichotomized analyses indicated patients with high levels of miR-155-5p and miR-210-3p displayed increased risk of ccRCC recurrence (HR, 2.64; 95% CI, 1.49-4.70; P=0.0009 and HR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.04-3.12; P=0.036, respectively) and shorter median recurrence-free survival times than patients with low levels (log rank test P<0.01). A risk score was generated based on expression levels of miR-155-5p and miR-210-3p, and the trend test was significant (P for trend=0.005). Pathway analysis revealed target genes regulated by miR-155-5p and miR-210-3p were mainly enriched in inflammation-related pathways. In summary, we identified and validated multiple miRNAs dysregulated in ccRCC tissues. MiR-155-5p and miR-210-3p were predictive of ccRCC recurrence pointing to potential utility as biomarkers and underlying biological mechanisms.

Project description:Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common neoplasm of the adult kidney. Currently, there are no biomarkers for the diagnostic, prognostic, or predictive applications in RCC. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non protein-coding RNAs that negatively regulate gene expression and have been shown to be involved in cancer. We analyzed a total of 70 matched pairs of clear cell RCC (ccRCC) and normal kidney tissues from the same patients by microarray analysis and validated our results by quantitative real time PCR. We identified 166 miRNAs significantly dysregulated in ccRCC. MiR-122, miR-155 and miR-210 had the highest fold changes of overexpression while miR-200c, miR-335, and miR-218 were the most downregulated. We performed extensive bioinformatics analysis including a combinatorial analysis of previously reported miRNAs dysregulated in RCC and extensive target prediction analysis. Many miRNAs were predicted to target a number of genes involved in RCC pathogenesis. Our results showed that miRNA dysregulation in RCC can be attributed in part, to chromosomal aberrations, the co-regulation of miRNA clusters, and co-expression with host genes. We also correlated miRNA expression with clinical characteristics and found miR-155 expression was correlated with ccRCC tumor size. In conclusion, our analysis showed that a number of miRNAs are dysregulated in ccRCC and may contribute to kidney cancer pathogenesis by targeting more than one key molecule. We identified mechanisms that may contribute to miRNA dysregulation in ccRCC. Dysregulated miRNAs represent potential biomarkers for kidney cancer. We preformed a miRNA microarray on 20 pairs of matched primary clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) and normal kidney tissue from the same patient (St. Michael's Hospital, Toronto, Canada). One matched pair was used per array for a total of 20 arrays. Microarray results were validated by quantitative real time PCR using an independent set of 50 matched pairs of ccRCC and normal kidney tissue from the same patient.

Project description:We tested the hypothesis that a panel of placental mammal-specific miRNAs and their targets play important to establish receptivity to implantation and their dysregulated expression may be a feature in women with early pregnancy loss. Relative expression levels of miR-340-5p, −542-3p, and −671-5p all increased following treatment of Ishikawa cells with progesterone (10 μg/ml) for 24 hrs (p < 0.05). RNA sequencing of these P4-treated cells identified co-ordinate changes to 6,367 transcripts of which 1713 were predicted targets of miR-340-5p, 670 of miR-542-3p, and 618 of miR-671-5p. Quantitative proteomic analysis of Ishikawa cells transfected with mimic or inhibitor (48 hrs: n=3 biological replicates) for each of the P4-regulated miRNAs was carried out to identify targets of these miRNAs. Excluding off target effects, mir-340-5p mimic altered 1,369 proteins while inhibition changed expression of 376 proteins (p < 0.05) of which, 72 were common to both treatments. A total of 280 proteins were identified between predicted (mirDB) and confirmed (in vitro) targets. In total, 171 proteins predicted to be targets by mirDB were altered in vitro by treatment with miR-340-5p mimic or inhibitor and were also altered by treatment of endometrial epithelial cells with P4. In vitro targets of miR-542-3p identified 1,378 proteins altered by mimic while inhibition altered 975 a core of 200 proteins were changed by both. 100 protein targets were predicted and only 46 proteins were P4 regulated. miR-671-mimic altered 1,252 proteins with inhibition changing 492 proteins of which 97 were common to both, 95 were miDB predicted targets and 46 were also P4-regulated. All miRNAs were detected in endometrial biopsies taken from patients during the luteal phase of their cycle, irrespective of prior or future pregnancy outcomes Expression of mir-340-5p showed an overall increase in patients who had previously suffered a miscarriage and had a subsequent miscarriage, as compared to those who had infertility or previous miscarriage and subsequently went on to have a life birth outcome. The regulation of these miRNAs and their protein targets regulate the function of transport and secretion, and adhesion of the endometrial epithelia required for successful implantation in humans. Dysfunction of these miRNAs (and therefore the targets they regulate) may contribute to endometrial-derived recurrent pregnancy loss in women.
