A novel combination of serum microRNAs for detecting breast cancer in the early stage

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs), which are stably present in serum, have been reported to be potentially useful for detecting cancer. In the present study, we examined the expression profiles of serum miRNAs in large cohorts to identify the miRNAs that can be used to detect breast cancer in the early stage. We comprehensively evaluated serum miRNA expression profiles using highly sensitive microarray analysis. A total of 1,280 serum samples of breast cancer patients stored in the National Cancer Center Biobank were used. Additionally, 2,836 serum samples were obtained from non-cancer controls and 514 from patients with other types of cancers or benign diseases. The samples were divided to a training cohort including non-cancer controls, other cancers and breast cancer and a test cohort including non-cancer controls and breast cancer. The training cohort was used to identify a combination of miRNAs that detect breast cancer, and the test cohort was used to validate that combination. miRNA expression was compared between breast cancer and non-breast cancer serum , and a combination of five miRNAs (miR-1246, miR-1307-3p, miR-4634, miR-6861-5p, and miR-6875-5p) was found to detect breast cancer. This combination had a sensitivity of 97.3%, specificity of 82.9%, and accuracy of 89.7% for breast cancer in the test cohort Additionally, the combination could detect breast cancer in the early stage (sensitivity of 98.0% for T0). 1280 breast cancer serums (74 in training cohort, 1206 in test cohort), 54 benign breast diseases serums in test cohort, 2836 non-cancer control serums (1493 in training cohort, 1343 in test cohort), 514 non-breast benign diseases serums in training cohort. 150 of the non-cancer control serums in training cohort and 412 of the non-breast benign diseases serums in training cohort have been uploaded previously and are avaialable under GSE59856 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE59856).

MicroRNA (miRNA), which are stably present in serum, have been reported to be potentially useful for detecting cancer. In the present study, we examined the expression profiles of serum miRNA in several large cohorts to identify novel miRNA that can be used to detect early stage breast cancer.

Project description:Purpose: There is a quest for novel non-invasive diagnostic markers for the detection of breast cancer. The goal of this study is to identify circulating microRNA signatures using a cohort of Asian Chinese breast cancer patients, and to compare microRNA profiles between tumour and serum samples. Experimental design: MicroRNAs from paired breast cancer tumours, normal tissue and serum samples derived from 32 patients were comprehensively profiled using microarrays (1300 microRNAs against tumour and normal tissues) or LNA RT-PCR panels (742 microRNAs against serum samples). Serum samples from healthy individuals (n=22) were also employed as normal controls. Significant serum microRNAs, identified by logistic regression, were validated in an independent set of serum samples from patients (n=82) and healthy controls (n=53). Results: The 20 most significant microRNAs differentially expressed in breast cancer tumours included miR-21, miR-10b, and miR-145, previously shown to be dysregulated in breast cancer. Interestingly, 16 of the 20 most significant microRNAs differentially expressed in serum samples were novel. MiR-1, miR-92a, miR-133a and miR-133b were identified as the most important diagnostic markers, and were successfully validated; receiver operating characteristic curves derived from combinations of these microRNAs exhibited areas under the curves of 0.944-0.946. Only seven microRNAs were overexpressed in both tumours and serum, suggesting that microRNAs may be released into the serum selectively. Conclusion: The clinical employment of microRNA signatures as a non-invasive diagnostic strategy is promising, but should be further validated for different subtypes of breast cancers. Blood samples were collected in Becton Dickinson (Franklin Lakes, NJ) Vacutainer SST tubes. Serum was harvested by centrifugation at 2200g after allowing blood to clot for 30mins. 32 patient samples and 22 samples from healthy controls were obtained for profiling. Sera samples were stored at -80oC.

"_A" and "_B" are two tissue sections of the same sample; "_1" and "_2" represents 2 runs of the same sample; na = not available All tissue samples were histologically confirmed by a pathologist using hematoxylin and eosin staining of cryosectioned specimens. One tumour sample was rejected due to failure to detect any tumour cells. Except for two samples (with 30% and 40% tumour cells), all tumour tissues employed had a minimum of 60% tumour cells, as estimated microscopically. Overall, the breast cancer tumour samples had an average of 71% tumour cells. The criteria for adjacent normal tissue were absence of tumour cells and presence of epithelial cells. Hence, after histological confirmation, 31 breast cancer tumours and 23 matched normal tissues were employed for microRNA extraction and profiling using microarray.
