Abstract:
MicroRNAs (miR) have been shown to be extensively involved in tumorigenesis by post-transcriptional inhibition of oncogenes and/or tumor-suppressor genes. The purpose of our study is to investigate the difference in miRNA expression between cancer epithelium and epithelium from normal breast adjacent tissues. The clinical samples were procured from the Tissue Procurement Program at the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Hospital from breast cancer patients who underwent partial or complete mastectomy. The miRNA profiling for one pair of PCHBCEC and PCHBNEC from the same patient was carried out, and the difference of miRNA expression and potential target genes were further verified by realtime qPCR in 7 pairs of clinical samples. The miRNA profiling showed that 24 miRNAs (let-7a, let-7c, let-7f, let-7g, miR-24, miR-28, miR-29a, miR-29c, miR-30a-5p, miR-30d, miR-92, miR-125a, miR-126*, miR-132, miR-135a, miR-135b, miR-137, miR-141, miR-182, miR-200c, miR-339, miR-365, miR-425-5p, miR-391, p & lt;0.05) are statistically up-regulated in cancer while only 1 miRNA (miR-221) is down-regulated. Based on the magnitude of change and predicted target, we selected miR-141 for further validation. Compared with its normal adjacent counterpart, 4 PCHBCECs had lower miR-141 while 2 were up-regulated and 1 unaltered. Further validation on gene expression of the samples confirmed the negative correlation of miR-141 with its putative target PTPγ. Our comparison of PCHBCECs and PCHBNECs under the same genetic background demonstrated a distinct expression of miRNAs. The dysregulation of miR-141 was shown to result in modulation of the potential tumor-suppressor gene PTPγ which might have an impact on the etiological process of tumor lesion and discriminate cancer epithelial cells from their surrounding normal breast epithelial compartments. Our results implicate that miR-141 might serve as molecular biomarker for therapy of human breast cancer patients. (Supported by NIH R01 Grant ES 015212).
