Comparison of MicroRNA deep sequencing of matched formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded and fresh frozen cancer tissues

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs regulate several aspects of tumorigenesis and cancer progression. Most cancer tissues are archived formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded (FFPE). While microRNAs are a more stable form of RNA thought to withstand FFPE-processing and degradation there is only limited evidence for the latter assumption. We examined whether microRNA profiling can be successfully conducted on FFPE cancer tissues using SOLiD ligation based sequencing. Tissue storage times (3-9 years) appeared to not affect the number of detected microRNAs in FFPE samples compared to matched frozen samples (paired t-test p>0.7). Correlations of microRNA expression values were very high across microRNAs in a given sample (PearsonM-bM-^@M-^Ys r=0.71-0.95). Higher variance of expression values among samples was associated with higher correlation coefficients between FFPE and frozen tissues. One of the FFPE samples in this study was degraded for unknown reasons with a peak read length of 17 nucleotides compared to 21 in all other samples. The number of detected microRNAs in this sample was within the range of microRNAs detected in all other samples. Ligation-based microRNA deep sequencing on FFPE cancer tissues is feasible and RNA degradation to the degree observed in our study appears to not affect the number of microRNAs that can be quantified. we analyzed eight matched frozen and FFPE tissues of different histologies for which detailed processing and storage information.

MicroRNA sequencing and Novel HPV miRNA discovery in HPV cell lines and human tissue samples

Project description:Human papillomaviruses (HPV) preferentially infect keratinocytes of mucous membranes or skin and cause numerous benign and malignant lesions at different anatomical locations. A number of DNA viruses encode their own miRNAs as well. To date, no studies have been able to validate viral miRNAs in papillomavirus infected cells using standard sequencing or next generation sequencing techniques. We sequenced small RNA (sRNA) libraries of two HPV 16 immortalized cell lines, HPK IA and HPK II, and ten formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples from HPV infected cervical epithelium by SOLiD 4 technology. We used the miRSeqNovel software, to predict novel miRNAs and their likely pre-miRNAs. We further validated (qRT-PCR, northern blotting and in situ hybridization) the candidate miRNAs in a number of tissue samples from HPV associated cervical disease and also in HPV 16 positive cell lines CaSki and SiHa. Altogether nine candidate microRNAs were identified. The expression of four out of five studied miRNAs was confirmed in human tissue or human epithelial cell lines harboring HPV 16. Small RNA (sRNA) libraries of two HPV 16 immortalized cell lines, HPK IA and HPK II, and ten formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples from HPV infected cervical epithelium, were made according to SOLiD sequencing instructions.

MicroRNA-224 promotes tumor progression in non-small cell lung cancer

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Despite advancements and improvements in surgical and medical treatments, the survival rate of lung cancer patients remains frustratingly poor. Local control for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has dramatically improved over the last decades for both operable and inoperable patients. However, the molecular mechanisms of NSCLC invasion leading to regional and distant disease spread remain poorly understood. Here we identify miR-224 to be significantly up-regulated in NSCLC tissues, in particular in resected NSCLC metastasis. Increased miR-224 expression promotes cell migration, invasion and proliferation by directly targeting the tumor suppressors, TNFAIP1 and SMAD4. In concordance with in vitro studies, mouse xenograft studies validated that miR-224 function as a potent oncomiR in NSCLC in vivo. Moreover, we found promoter hypomethylation and activated ERK signaling to be involved in the regulation of miR-224 expression in NSCLC. Up-regulated mir-224 thus facilitates tumor progression by shifting the equilibrium of the partially antagonist functions of SMAD4 and TNFAIP1 towards enhanced invasion and growth in NSCLC. Our findings indicate that targeting miR-224 could be effective in the treatment of certain lung cancer patients Oncogenic role of miR-224 in lung cancer

Identification of miR-4423 as a Primate-Specific microRNA Highly Expressed in Ciliated Airway Epithelium and Associated with Lung Cancer [high throughput sequencing]

Project description:Smoking is a significant risk factor for lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. While microRNAs are regulators of many airway gene-expression changes induced by smoking, their role in modulating changes associated with lung cancer in these cells remains unknown. Here, we use next-generation sequencing of small RNAs in the airway to identify miR-4423 as a novel primate-specific microRNA associated with lung cancer and expressed primarily in mucociliary epithelium. The endogenous expression of miR-4423 increases as bronchial epithelial cells undergo differentiation into mucociliary epithelium in vitro and its overexpression during this process causes an increase in the number of ciliated cells. Furthermore, expression of miR-4423 is reduced in most lung tumors and in cytologically normal epithelium of the mainstem bronchus of smokers with lung cancer. In addition, ectopic expression of miR-4423 in a subset of lung cancer cell lines reduces their anchorage-independent growth and significantly decreases the size of the tumors formed in a mouse xenograft model. Consistent with these phenotypes, overexpression of miR-4423 induces a differentiated-like pattern of airway epithelium gene expression and reverses the expression of many genes that are altered in lung cancer. Together, our results indicate that miR-4423 is a novel regulator of airway epithelium differentiation and that the abrogation of its function contributes to lung carcinogenesis. Small RNA expression was profiled from pooled bronchial airway epithelial cell brushings (n=3 patients/pool) obtained during bronchoscopy from healthy never (NS) and current smokers (S) and smokers with (C) and without (NC) lung cancer. MicroRNA hsa-miR-4423 was over expressed in H1299, Calu6, SW900 and H2170 lung cancer cell lines.

Somatic mutations in DROSHA and DICER1 impair microRNA biogenesis in Wilms tumors

Project description:Through whole-exome sequencing we identified somatic missense mutations in DICER1 and DROSHA in Wilms tumor, a childhood kidney cancer. DICER1 and DROSHA are key enzymes in the microRNA biogenesis pathway. To determine the effect of these mutations on microRNA expression, we prepared small RNAs from Wilms tumors and used next-generation sequencing to determine the expression levels of microRNAs in the tumors. Comparison of miRNA expression in tumors with and without mutations in DICER1 or DROSHA.

MiRNome profiling of glioblastoma tissues and peritumoral regions

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest primary brain tumor. Its prognosis is inexorably unfavorable, as these tumors drive affected patients to death usually within 15 months after diagnosis (short term survivors, ST), with the only exception of a small fraction of patients (long term survivors, LT) surviving longer than 36 months. Even after the frontline therapeutic approach, including surgical resection followed by chemo- and radiotherapy, the cause of death in most cases is tumor recurrence, which occurs in peritumoral tissues in about 95% of patients. Here, we provide a comprehensive molecular analysis of a set of ST and LT samples derived from frankly tumoral areas (C) and from the peritumoral regions (P) of the same patients. By performing microRNA deep sequencing, we collected data showing that P areas differ from healthy white matter, but share with C samples, a number of microRNAs

Identification of microRNAs and microRNA targets in Xenopus ectoderm

Project description:Purpose: The establishment of cell lineages occurs via a dynamic progression of gene regulatory networks that underlie developmental commitment and differentiation. To investigate how microRNAs (miRs) function in this process, we compared miRs and miR targets at the initiation of the two major ectodermal lineages in Xenopus. Methods: We injected Xenopus laevis embryos with noggin or constitutively active BMP4 receptor (CABR) at two-cell stage and cut animal caps at stg. 8. Isolated animal caps were grown separately till mid gastrula and processed for either RNA isolation or immunoprecipitation. Results: We have identified over 400 miRNAs in early neural and epidermal ectoderm. The Ago-RNP RNAs from these tissues represent overlapping, yet distinct, subsets of genes. Moreover, the profile of Ago-RNP associated genes differs substantially from the profile of total RNAs in these tissues. Identification of microRNAs and microRNA targets in establishment of early ectodermal tissues in Xenopus.

Genome-wide Analysis Reveals Mecp2-dependent Regulation of MicroRNAs in a Mouse Model of Rett Syndrome (high-throughput sequencing)

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small non-coding RNAs that function as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Many miRNAs are expressed in the developing brain and regulate multiple aspects of neural development including neurogenesis, dendritogenesis and synapse formation. Rett syndrome (RTT) is a progressive neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2). While Mecp2 is known to act as a global transcriptional regulator, miRNAs that are directly regulated by Mecp2 in the brain are not known. Using massively parallel sequencing methods, we have identified miRNAs whose expression is altered in cerebella of Mecp2-null mice before and after the onset of severe neurological symptoms. In vivo genome-wide analyses indicate that promoter regions of a significant fraction of dys-regulated miRNA transcripts, including a large polycistronic cluster of brain-specific miRNAs, are DNA methylated and directly bound by Mecp2. Functional analysis demonstrates that the 3’ untranslated region (UTR) of messenger RNA encoding Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Bdnf) can be targeted by multiple miRNAs aberrantly up-regulated in absence of Mecp2. Taken together, these results suggest that dys-regulation of miRNAs may contribute to RTT pathoetiology, and also provide a valuable resource to further investigate the role of miRNAs in RTT. Two pooled total RNA samples (4 pairs of wild-type (WT) and Mecp2-null (KO) male mice; postnatal 6-week, the pre-/early-symptomatic stage) were sequenced in a multiplexed configuration (with distinct barcode sequences). And, six samples (two litters, one WT and two KO male mice in each litter; postnatal 8-week, the symptomatic stage) were sequenced individually.
