Project description:Circulating microRNAs have recently emerged as a new class of promising non-invasive cancer biomarkers. The purpose of this study was the identification by a high-throughput approach (miRNA microarray) of circulating miRNAs associated with breast cancer-derived distant metastasis. To achieve this goal, we resorted to archival plasma samples collected from patients in the control arm of a randomized clinical trial on stage I breast cancer. We compared plasma miRNA levels in patients that developed distant metastasis after a radical or conservative surgery and in those long-term disease-free. Microarray results were technically and independently validated by Real Time PCR. Subsequent in vitro, in vivo and in silico analyses were performed to investigate the miRNA biological/clinical significance in relation with breast cancer progression. We demonstrated that high circulating miR-1246 levels were associated to distant metastasis and that high tissue expression of this miRNA was correlated with unfavorable outcome in ER+HER2- breast cancer patients. In addition, miR-1246 expression was also found to be related with stem-like features. 64 samples (32 patients with metastasis and 32 patients with no metastasis) were considered from a total of 208 hybridized samples collected between 1987 and 2004 (including 94 paired samples according to tumor ER status, age at drawing, drawing year, time from surgery, 7 additional samples from 'no evidence of disease' (NED) patients, 10 references, 1 healthy donor and 2 replicated samples)

Project description:Using a microarray-based method we report on: i) adequate intra- and interarray reproducibility of miRNA profiling; ii) feasibility of using archival plasma samples stored for an extended period of time and available in limited amounts; and iii) good correlation between different batches. A total of 11 archived plasma samples collected between 1988 and 1999 were evaluated in this study. Firstly, RNA extracted from two samples (S1 and S2) were hybridized in triplicate. The same samples were also hybridized in triplicate after increasing the starting material volume from 2 to 2.5. Nine additional plasma samples were processed and RNA was hybridized on two different batches of arrays. Finally, two samples (S3 and S4) were re-hybridized on an array of the same batch of the first hybridization but close to the chip expiration date.

Project description:Exosomes, endosome-derived membrane microvesicles, contain a specific set of RNA transcripts that are involved in cell-cell communication and hold a great potential as disease biomarkers. To systemically characterize exosomal RNA profiles, we performed RNA sequencing analysis using three human plasma samples and evaluated efficacies of small RNA library preparation protocols from 3 manufacturers. We tested the six samples (A1 and A2, B1 and B2, C1 and C2) using two small RNA library preparation kits: NEBNext Multiplex Small RNA library Prep Set from New England Biolab (NEB) and NEXTflex Small RNA Sequencing Kit from Bioo Scientific (BS). We also tested IlluminaM-bM-^@M-^Ys TrueSeq Small RNA Sample Preparation Kit (ILMN) in sample A1 and A2. Together, we tested these plasma samples by sequencing 14 indexed libraries. This study allowed direct comparison of current small RNA library preparation protocols and identified the most suitable strategy for future exosomal RNA sequencing analysis.

Project description:Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in the United States each year. Despite a generally good prognosis, metastatic cSCC results in over 3500 deaths annually. There are no specifically targeted therapies or biomarkers for metastatic cSCC. To determine whether aberrant microRNA expression occurs in metastatic cSCC which could provide novel targets for therapy or biomarkers for earlier diagnosis or prognosis, microRNA expression profiling was performed in 48 samples including normal skin, primary tumors and metastases. Multiple microRNAs showed differential expression; miR-4286, miR-200a-3p and miR-148-3p showed increased expression and miR-1915-3p, miR-205-5p, miR-4516 and miR-150-5p showed reduced expression in metastatic samples. Several microRNAs previously showing aberrant expressionshown to be aberrantly expressed in primary cSCCs were also observed in this study including miR-100, miR-135b, miR-145, miR-21, and miR-214. In summary, several microRNAs show differential expression between primary and metastatic cSCCs; these may be useful as biomarkers for metastasis or as targets for therapytherapeutic targets.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are abundant in the circulation and play a central role in diverse biological processes; they may be useful for early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We conducted a two-phase, case-control study (20 pairs for the discovery set and 49 pairs for the validation set) to test the hypothesis that genome-wide dysregulation of circulating miRNAs differentiate HCC cases from controls. Taqman low density arrays were used to examine genome-wide miRNA expression for the discovery set, and quantitative RT-PCR was used to validate candidate miRNAs for both discovery and validation sets. Sixty-six miRNAs were found to be significantly over-expressed in plasma of HCC cases compared to controls after adjusting for false discovery rate (p<0.05). A volcano plot indicated that 7 miRNAs had greater than 2-fold case-control differences with p<0.01. Four significant miRNAs (miR-150, miR-30c, miR-483-5p and miR-520b) detectable in all samples with varied expression levels were further validated in a validation set. MiR-483-5p was statistically significantly over-expressed in HCC cases compared with controls (3.20 vs. 0.82, p<0.0001). HCC risk factors and clinic-pathological characteristics did not influence miR-483-5p expression. The combination of plasma miR-483-5p level and HCV status can significantly differentiate HCC cases from controls with an AUC of 0.908 (p<0.0001). The sensitivity and specificity were, respectively, 75.5% and 89.8%. These preliminary results suggest the importance of dysregulated circulating miR-483-5p as a potential HCC biomarker. Confirmation of aberrant expression of miR-483-5p in a large prospective HCC study will provide support for its application to HCC detection. A hospital-based HCC case-control study including 20 HCC patients and 20 controls is conducted in Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), which is approved by the Institutional Review Board. Cases were newly diagnosed HCC patients who were treated in the Hepatobiliary Oncology Clinics, CUMC, and examined pathologically. Controls were recruited from volunteers through the Research Recruitment and Minority Outreach (RRMO) core of Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC). Flyers were placed at strategic locations around CUMC where hospital visitors and employees frequent or were handed out at inreach events at the hospital or at outreach events in the community. Interested participants were directed to contact the trained recruitment staff from the RRMO and given further information about participation. Interested participants were excluded from the control group if diagnosed for any kind of cancer or liver disease. Eligible controls were asked to fill out the same demographic and epidemiological questionnaire as HCC cases. In the current study, controls were matched with HCC cases on age (M-BM-15 yrs), gender (male/female) and ethnicities (Caucasian/Hispanic/African-American/Asian).

Project description:This study describes a circulating miRNA signature of unstable angina (UA), which may be used as a novel biomarker for unstable coronary artery disease (CAD). The Taqman low-density miRNA array were used to identify distinct miRNA expression profiles in the plasma of patients with typical UA and angiographically documented CAD (UA group, n = 13) compared to individuals with non-cardiac chest pain (control group, n = 13). EDTA-plasma samples were obtained before the cardiac catheterization procedure.The study included 2 groups that were classified according to angiographic evidence and clinical evaluation of chest pain. Patients with chest pain or discomfort but with angiographic exclusion of coronary atherosclerosis were enrolled in the control group (n = 13). Chest discomfort referred to the following complaints: chest pain, pressure, tightness, or heaviness; pain that radiated to the neck, jaw, shoulders, back, or one or both arms; and persistent shortness of breath. Patients with typical unstable angina (UA) and angiographically documented CAD were enrolled in the UA group (n = 13).

Project description:Osteoporosis is the consequence of altered bone metabolism resulting in the systemic reduction of bone strength and increased risk of fragility fractures. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression on a post-transcriptional level are known to take part in the control of bone formation and bone resorption. Recently, targeted secretion of miRNAs from cells originating from various tissues has been described, which allows for their minimal-invasive detection in serum/plasma and use as biomarkers for presence and progression of pathological conditions. One pilot study has reported circulating miRNAs in serum and tissue of fracture patients. However, further studies are required to explore whether a dysbalance in bone homeostasis of fracture patients can reliably be reflected by specific circulating miRNAs, and whether these miRNAs might serve as drugable targets. Here, we report results from a comprehensive multiplex study of 175 miRNAs in serum samples obtained from 7 patients with osteoporotic fractures at the femoral neck, and 7 age-matched controls. Following elaborate quality control statistical analysis of this exploratory dataset identified 9 microRNAs with altered serum levels in response to fracture (adjusted p-value < 0.1). Of these, hsa-miR-10a/b gave excellent discrimination of both groups (AUC = 1.0), and clustering of samples based on the top10 miRNAs confirmed the high discriminatory power of circulating microRNAs for osteoporotic fractures. In the next step 3 miRNAs with unknown roles in osteogenic differentiation and 4 miRNA from a previous study were tested for their effects on osteogenic differentiation. Of these, 3 miRNAs showed robust effects on osteogenic differentiation. Overall, these data provide important insights into changes in serum miRNA in post-traumatic patients. Future studies will show, whether this knowledge can be used to improve current diagnostic methodologies to predict fracture risk and design novel treatment strategies for osteoporosis patients. Two groups with n=7 per group; one groups represents cases with osteoporotic fractures, the control group is age-matched without fractures

Project description:Renal failure is associated with accumulation of various solutes called Uremic toxins. Post transcriptional regulation related to Chronic kidney disease (CKD) have already been described as RNA based silencing with micro RNA or modifications of mRNA degradation. Until now, alternative splice modification was not mentioned in the course of CKD. However, CKD is associated with modification of gene expression. The aim of the study was to explore modification of the alternative splice pattern in the course in CKD. The expression level of individual exons expression in human fibroblast were compared after culture to 96 hours of uremic condition or control condition. Three independant experiments were performed
