Project description:Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is divided into four subtypes based on specific transcription regulators: ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1. Around 80% of SCLC cases show neuroendocrine markers, mainly ASCL1 (called SCLC-A) or NEUROD1 (called SCLC-N). In the past, these four subtypes were thought to be completely separate. However, recent studies have shown that they can change into one another. For example, SCLC-N can develop from SCLC-A. Additionally, ASCL1 and NEUROD1 can sometimes be expressed together, although this combined subtype is not well understood. Our previous research (PMID: 35789143) showed that ASCL1 controls certain microRNAs (miRNAs), which helps keep the subtypes separate. However, the exact way NEUROD1 controls transcription in SCLC, especially when it is co-expressed with ASCL1, is still unknown. To investigate transcriptional regulation, we used Cleavage Under Targets and Tagmentation (CUT&Tag) to confirm the binding sites of ASCL1 and NEUROD1 for double positive cells.

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an important regulatory role and serve as biomarkers in various human cancers. However, their role in the prognosis and predicting response to therapy in Indian lung cancer patients is not fully explored. Methods: We collected surgically resected tumors and paired adjacent normal lung tissues from 29 early-stage and tissue biopsies from 103 locally advanced and metastatic lung cancer patients in this prospective study. We quantified the expression levels of miR-375-3p, miR-197-3p, and miR-15a-5p using TaqMan Advanced miRNA Assays. We correlated miRNAs expression with response to therapy and survival outcomes. Results: The median age of lung cancer patients was 60 years. We found significant overexpression of miR-375-3p and miR-197-3p in the tumors compared to paired normal lung tissues. Higher expression of miR-375-3p was observed more frequently in responders compared to nonresponders. The expression of miR-375-3p and miR-197-3p was able to differentiate patients of lung adenocarcinoma from lung squamous cell carcinoma. We did not find any correlation between miRNAs expression and survival outcomes. Conclusion: Overexpression of miR-375-3p and miR-197-3p might contribute to lung carcinogenesis. The expression of miR-375-3p may assist in predicting therapeutic response. More prospective studies are warranted to evaluate the potential of miR-375-3p as a predictive biomarker of response to therapy.

Project description:Breast cancer is one of the most malignant diseases in women worldwide. Serum microRNAs (miRNAs), with the characteristics of high sensitivity and specificity, have recently attracted more attentions to serve as potential biomarkers for tumor diseases. In this study, 194 breast cancer patients' serum samples were collected before surgery and enrolled into different groups based on their diagnostic information. To search for breast cancer diagnostic biomarkers, serum miRNAs were screened by microarray in pooled samples of healthy volunteers and breast cancer patients in different clinical stages. The miRNAs were further verified in each individual patient's serum samples in diagnostic and predictive sets. The serum level of miR-1915-3p was upregulated and miR-455-3p was downregulated significantly in breast cancer patients compared with healthy volunteers. Furthermore, the patients with infiltrating carcinoma or lymph node metastasis had a higher serum level of miR-1915-3p and lower serum level of miR-455-3p than patients with the carcinoma in situ or patients without lymph node metastasis. ROC analysis suggested that miR-1915-3p and miR-455-3p had the potential as a promising serum diagnostic and predictive biomarkers of breast cancer. miR-1915-3p was over-expressed in certain human breast cancer cells. Functional experiments in vitro showed that miR-1915-3p enhanced cell proliferative and migrational abilities. Overexpression of miR-1915-3p repressed target gene DUSP3 and activated ERK1/2. Collectively, this study provided a new insight that miR-1915-3p might play a role in the development of breast cancer and that serum miR-1915-3p and miR-455-3p could serve as diagnostic and predictive biomarkers for breast cancer.

Project description:Background and Objectives: Prediction of response to therapy remains a continuing challenge in treating breast cancer, especially for identifying molecular tissue markers that best characterize resistant tumours. Microribonucleic acids (miRNA), known as master modulators of tumour phenotype, could be helpful candidates for predicting drug resistance. We aimed to assess the association of miR-375-3p, miR-210-3p and let-7e-5p in breast cancer tissues with pathological response to neoadjuvant therapy (NAT) and clinicopathological data. Material and methods: Sixty female patients diagnosed with invasive breast cancer at The Oncology Institute "Ion Chiricuță", Cluj-Napoca, Romania (IOCN) were included in this study. Before patients received any treatment, fresh breast tissue biopsies were collected through core biopsy under echographic guidance and processed for total RNA extraction and miRNA quantification. The Cancer Genome Atlas Breast Invasive Carcinoma (TCGA-BRCA) database was used as an independent external validation cohort. Results: miR-375-3p expression was associated with more differentiated tumours, hormone receptor presence and lymphatic invasion. According to the Miller-Payne system, a higher miR-375-3p expression was calculated for patients that presented with intermediate versus (vs.) no pathological response. Higher miR-210-3p expression was associated with an improved response to NAT in both Miller-Payne and RCB evaluation systems. Several druggable mRNA targets were correlated with miR-375-3p and miR-210-3p expression, with upstream analysis using the IPA knowledge base revealing a list of possible chemical and biological targeting drugs. Regarding let-7e-5p, no significant association was noticed with any of the analysed clinicopathological data. Conclusions: Our results suggest that tumours with higher levels of miR-375-3p are more sensitive to neoadjuvant therapy compared to resistant tumours and that higher miR-210-3p expression in responsive tumours could indicate an excellent pathological response.

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed neoplasm among men. Since it often resembles benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), biomarkers with a higher differential value than PSA are required. Epigenetic biomarkers in liquid biopsies, especially miRNA, could address this challenge. The absolute expression of miR-375-3p, miR-182-5p, miR-21-5p, and miR-148a-3p were quantified in blood plasma and seminal plasma of 65 PCa and 58 BPH patients by digital droplet PCR. The sensitivity and specificity of these microRNAs were determined using ROC curve analysis. The higher expression of miR-182-5p and miR-375-3p in the blood plasma of PCa patients was statistically significant as compared to BPH (p = 0.0363 and 0.0226, respectively). Their combination achieved a specificity of 90.2% for predicting positive or negative biopsy results, while PSA cut-off of 4 µg/L performed with only 1.7% specificity. In seminal plasma, miR-375-3p, miR-182-5p, and miR-21-5p showed a statistically significantly higher expression in PCa patients with PSA >10 µg/L compared to ones with PSA ≤10 µg/L. MiR-182-5p and miR-375-3p in blood plasma show higher performance than PSA in discriminating PCa from BPH. Seminal plasma requires further investigation as it represents an obvious source for PCa biomarker identification.

Project description:Deregulated microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles and their contribution to carcinogenesis have been observed in virtually all types of human cancer. However, their role in the pathogenesis of rare mesenchymal gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) is not well defined, yet. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of two miRNAs strongly downregulated in GIST-miR-375-3p and miR-200b-3p-in the pathogenesis of GIST. To achieve this, miRNA mimics were transfected into GIST-T1 cells and changes in the potential target gene mRNA and protein expression, as well as alterations in cell viability, migration, apoptotic cell counts and direct miRNA-target interaction, were evaluated. Results revealed that overexpression of miR-375-3p downregulated the expression of KIT mRNA and protein by direct binding to KIT 3'UTR, reduced GIST cell viability and migration rates. MiR-200b-3p lowered expression of ETV1 protein, directly targeted and lowered expression of EGFR mRNA and protein, and negatively affected cell migration rates. To conclude, the present study identified that miR-375-3p and miR-200b-3p have a tumor-suppressive role in GIST.

Project description:ObjectiveWith the number of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) increasing year by year, it is pressing to explore new key genes and markers for the treatment of AP. miR-455-3p/solute carrier family 2 member 1 (Slc2a1) obtained through bioinformatics analysis may participate in the progression of AP.Materials and methodsThe C57BL/6 mouse model of AP was constructed for subsequent studies. Through bioinformatics analysis, the differentially expressed genes related to AP were screened and hub genes were identified. A caerulein-induced AP animal model was constructed to detect the pathological changes of mouse pancreas by HE staining. The concentrations of amylase and lipase were measured. Primary mouse pancreatic acinar cells were isolated and subjected to microscopy to observe their morphology. The enzymatic activities of trypsin and amylase were detected. The secretion of inflammatory cytokines in mouse were measured with the ELISA kits of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β to determine pancreatic acinar cell damage. A binding site between the Slc2a1 3' UTR region and the miR-455-3p sequence was verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay. The expression of miR-455-3p was quantified by qRT-PCR, and Slc2a1 were detected by western blot.ResultsA total of five (Fyn, Gadd45a, Sdc1, Slc2a1, and Src) were identified by bioinformatics analysis, and miR-455-3p/Slc2a1 were further studied. HE staining results showed that the AP models were successfully established by caerulein induction. In mice with AP, the expression of miR-455-3p was reduced, while that of Slc2a1 was increased. In the caerulein-induced cell model, the expression of Slc2a1 was significantly reduced after intervention of miR-455-3p mimics, whereas increased after miR-455-3p inhibitor treatment. miR-455-3p decreased the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in the cell supernatant, reduced the activity of trypsin and amylase, and alleviated the cell damage induced by caerulein. In addition, Slc2a1 3'UTR region was bound by miR-455-3p, and its protein expression was also regulated.ConclusionmiR-455-3p alleviated caerulein-induced mouse pancreatic acinar cell damage by regulating the expression of Slc2a1.

Project description:People with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have increased cancer risk. Liver cancer (LC) has a high prevalence in East Asia and is one of the leading causes of cancer death globally. Diagnosis of LC at early stage carries good prognosis. We used stored serum from patients of Hong Kong Diabetes Register before cancer diagnosis to extract RNA to screen for microRNA markers for early detection of LC in T2D. After screening with Affymetrix GeneChip microarray with serum RNA from 19 incident T2D LC (T2D-LC), 20 T2D cancer free (T2D-CF) and 20 non-T2D non-cancer patients, top signals were validated in a 3-group comparison including 1888 T2D-CF, 127 T2D-LC, and 487 T2D patients with non-liver cancer patients using qPCR. We detected 2.55-fold increase in miR-122-5p and 9.21-fold increase in miR-455-3p in the T2D-LC group. Using ROC analysis, miR-122-5p and miR-455-3p jointly predicted LC with an area under the curve of 0.770. After adjustment for confounders, each unit increase of miR-455-3p increased the odds ratio for liver cancer by 1.022. Increased serum levels of miR-122-5p and miR-455-3p were independently associated with increased risk of incident LC in T2D and may serve as potential biomarkers for early detection of LC in T2D.
