High Frequency Loss of 17q11.2 and Downregulation of the Cancer Metastasis Suppression microRNA miR-193a-3p in Prostate Cancer Bone Metastasis
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Metastasis is the main cause of death from prostate cancer (PCa), a common malignant disease. 90% of PCa metastasis occurs in the bone, thus understanding the genetic chang-es underlying bone preference is critical. However, due to the difficulty in getting samples from the bone and other reasons, limited bone metastasis specific genomic alteration pro-files, particularly at individual sample level, have been published. Here we generated in-dividually genomic change profiles for six PCa bone metastasis samples and identified bone metastasis specific genomic changes. One of them, loss of 17q11.2 genomic region, was further confirmed by another genetic method in further 14/21 PCa bone metastasis samples but only in 9/151 localized PCa. The function of a well-established tumor sup-pressor, miR-193a-3p, located in this lost genomic region, was reduced in bone metastasis, leading to overaction of two well-established genes to promote cancer metastasis. It pro-vides new insight into bone metastasis development.
