Project description:In this study we present an experimental pipeline that takes into consideration sample collection, processing, enrichment, and the subsequent comparative analysis of circulating small ribonucleic acids using small RNA sequencing and RT-qPCR. Initially, a panel of miRNAs dysregulated in circulating blood from breast cancer patients compared to healthy women were identified using small RNA sequencing. MiR-320a was identified as the most dysregulated miRNA between the two female cohorts. Total RNA and enriched small RNA populations (<30 bp) isolated from peripheral blood from the same female cohort samples were then tested using a miR-320a RT-qPCR assay. When total RNA was analyzed with this miR-320a RT-qPCR assay, a 2.3-fold decrease in expression levels was observed between blood samples from healthy controls and breast cancer patients. However, upon enrichment for the small RNA population and subsequent analysis of miR-320a using RT-qPCR, its dysregulation in breast cancer patients was more pronounced with an 8.89-fold decrease in miR-320a expression.

Project description:We hypothesized that circulating miRNAs could work as biomarkers for early detection of breast cancer brain metastasis (BCBM), and their targets could constitute new targets for modulation. We used a mouse model of BCBM and Next-Generation Sequencing to establish the circulating miRNAs alterations along brain metastasis development and performed bioinformatics analysis to identify their targets with relevance in the metastatic process. We additionally analyzed human resected brain metastasis of breast cancer patients for target’s expression validation. In our mouse model, we observed a deregulation of circulating miRNAs profile during BCBM progression, with a downregulation of miR-802-5p and miR-194-5p in plasma prior to brain metastases detection. The transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2C (MEF2C), was identified as a target for both miRNAs, and its expression was increasingly observed in malignant cells along brain metastasis development. Its upregulation was also observed in peritumoral astrocytes and in human BCBM. Collectively, downregulation of circulating miR-802-5p and miR-194-5p appear as precocious biomarkers for BCBM and MEF2C emerges as a new player and a potential target for modulation.

Project description:We sought to identify circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) from blood plasma that could be used as biomarkers to detect breast cancer existing in high-risk benign breast tumors. Plasma samples were collected from patients with early-stage breast cancer (CA), high- (HB), moderate- (MB), and no-risk (Be) benign tumors. The miRNAs we have identified have the potential to develop into a crucial blood-based screening tool to help monitor the development of breast cancer in benign breast tumors.

Project description:Introduction: Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) exhibit remarkable stability and may serve as biomarkers in several clinical cancer settings. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the levels of specific circulating miRNA following breast cancer surgery and evaluate whether these alterations were also observed in an independent data set. Methods: Global miRNA analysis was performed on prospectively collected serum samples from 24 post-menopausal women with estrogen receptor-positive early-stage breast cancer before surgery and 3 weeks after tumor resection using global LNA-based quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). Results: Numbers of specific miRNAs detected in the samples ranged from 142 to 161, with 107 miRNAs detectable in all samples. After correction for multiple comparisons, 3 circulating miRNAs (miR-338-3p, miR-223 and miR-148a) exhibited significantly lower, and 1 miRNA (miR-107) higher levels in post-operative vs. pre-operative samples (p<0.05). No miRNAs were consistently undetectable in the post-operative samples compared to the pre-operative samples. Subsequently, our findings were compared to a dataset from a comparable patient population analyzed using similar study design and the same qPCR profiling platform, resulting in limited agreement. Conclusions: A panel of 4 circulating miRNAs exhibited significantly altered levels following radical resection of primary ER+ breast cancers in post-menopausal women. These specific miRNAs may be involved in tumorigenesis and could potentially be used to monitor whether all cancer cells have been removed at surgery and/or, subsequently, whether the patients develop recurrence. 48 serum samples were prospectively collected from 24 patients with early stage breast cancer before and after surgery at Odense University Hospital. Serum was prepared within one hour of sample collection after centrifugation (2000 x g; 10 min at 20 M-BM-:C) and immediately stored at -80 M-BM-:C.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recently detected in the circulation of cancer patients, where they are associated with clinical parameters. Discovery profiling of circulating small RNAs has not been previously reported in breast cancer (BC), and was carried out in this study to identify blood-based small RNA markers of BC clinical outcome. The pre-treatment sera of 42 stage II–III locally advanced and inflammatory BC patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT) followed by surgical tumor resection were analyzed for marker identification by deep sequencing all circulating small RNAs.
