Next generation sequencing profiling identifies miR-574-3p and miR-660-5p as potential novel prognostic markers for breast cancer

ABSTRACT: Prognostication of Breast Cancer (BC) relies largely on traditional markers such as hormone or growth factors but due to their suboptimal specificities, it is challenging to identify the subset of patients who are likely to undergo recurrence and markers of higher specificity are sought to guide therapies. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs which function as post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression and have shown promise as potential prognostic markers in several cancer types including BC. In our study, we sequenced 104 breast tumor tissue samples and 11 apparently healthy normal breast tissues for miRNAs. Two widely used approaches were adopted to identify prognostic markers â Case-control and Case-only. For both the approaches, Cox-proportional hazards regression model and risk score analysis was performed to identify miRNA signature independent of potential confounders. Representative miRNAs were validated using qRT-PCR. Gene ontology terms were identified for miRNAs significant in survival analysis. A total of 1,423 miRNAs were captured from the tissues, of which 126 were retained with predetermined criteria for good read counts. In the case-control approach, 80 miRNAs were differentially expressed, from which four and two miRNAs were significant for OS and RFS respectively. In the case-only approach, from 147 miRNAs, 11 and four miRNAs were significant for OS and RFS respectively, in which miR-574-3p and miR-660-5p were novel and were not previously found to be associated with BC prognosis. Multivariate Cox analysis indicated that the risk scores calculated in both the approaches were potential independent prognostic factors for BC. Targets for the identified miRNAs were enriched for cell proliferation, invasion and migration. Identification of miRNAs as prognostic markers for breast cancer

<h4>Background</h4>Prognostication of Breast Cancer (BC) relies largely on traditional clinical factors and biomarkers such as hormone or growth factor receptors. Due to their suboptimal specificities, it is challenging to accurately identify the subset of patients who are likely to undergo recurrence and there remains a major need for markers of higher utility to guide therapeutic decisions.

Project description:Breast carcinoma (BC) is the leading cause of death in women worldwide, making up 23% of all cancers in women, with 1.38 million new cases worldwide annually and responsible for 460,000 deaths. Despite the significant advances in the identification of molecular markers and different modalities of treatment in primary BC, the ability to predict the metastatic behavior in breast cancer is still limited. The purpose of this study was to help identify novel molecular markers associated with clinical outcome in a cohort of Brazilian BC patients. We generated global gene expression profiles from 24 patients with invasive ductal BC followed for â¥ 5-years, including 15 samples from patients classified as presenting good prognosis based on traditional markers and clinical criteria and 9 patients that developed metastasis. We identified a set of 58 differentially expressed genes (p â¤0.01) between groups of patients with good and poor prognosis. Up-regulation of B3GNT7, PPM1D, TNKS2, PHB and GTSE1 in patients with poor prognosis was confirmed by quantitative RT-PCR in an independent sample set from patients with BC (47 with good prognosis and 8 that presented metastasis). Expression of BAD protein was investigated by immunohistochemistry in 1276 BC samples and confirmed the reduced expression levels in metastatic cases observed in the oligoarray data. These findings point to novel prognostic markers that can distinguish breast carcinoma samples according to clinical course and progression of the disease. Global expression profiles from 38 ductal breast tumor patient samples were used to search for molecular signatures correlated with current prognostic markers. A subset of 24 cases comprising 15 patients that remained free of disease after surgery and 9 patients that developed metastasis was used to identify candidate biomarkers associated with metastatic progression. Candidates were subsequently validated in additional independent samples by RT-qPCR or immunohistochemistry.
