Abnormal expression of miR-1 in breast carcinoma as a potent prognostic factor.

ABSTRACT: Metastatic breast cancer remains a highly lethal disease, and it is very important to evaluate the biomarkers associated with the distant metastasis. MicroRNA (miRNA) are small non-protein coding RNA that regulate various cellular functions. Recent investigations have demonstrated the importance of some miRNA in breast cancer, but the significance of the great majority of miRNA remains largely unclear in breast cancer metastasis. Therefore, in this study, we first examined expression profiles of miRNA in stage IV breast carcinoma tissues, comparing stage I-III cases by miRNA PCR array, and identified miR-1 as the miRNA which was the most associated with the distant metastasis. However, miR-1 has not yet been examined in breast carcinoma tissue, and its significance remains unknown. Therefore, we further examined miR-1 expression in breast carcinoma using in situ hybridization (ISH). miR-1 was localized in carcinoma cells in 20% of breast carcinoma cases, but it was negligible in non-neoplastic mammary glands or stroma. miR-1 ISH status was significantly associated with stage, pathological T factor, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, histological grade, estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor and Ki-67 in breast carcinoma. Moreover, the miR-1 status was demonstrated using multivariate analysis as an independent worse prognostic factor for both disease-free and breast cancer-specific survival. These findings suggest that abnormal miR-1 expression is associated with an aggressive phenotype of breast carcinoma and that miR-1 status is a potent prognostic factor in human breast cancer patients.

Project description:ATP binding cassette subfamily D member 3 (ABCD3) is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which serve crucial roles in the process of tumor cell resistance to chemotherapy. The present study investigated the diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of ABCD3 in colorectal cancer (CRC) by bioinformatics analysis. Gene expression data and corresponding clinical information of patients with CRC were collected from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The results demonstrated that ABCD3 mRNA level was decreased in CRC tissues compared with normal tissues following Wilcoxon test analysis. Furthermore, ABCD3 protein expression was significantly higher in normal colon tissues compared with colon adenocarcinoma tissues according to the Human Protein Atlas. In addition, the area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve based on comparison between the tumor and normal groups derived from TCGA and GEO databases demonstrated that the use of ABCD3 mRNA level may be used for the diagnosis of CRC. ABCD3 expression was significantly associated with clinical stage, T stage, and lymph node status following Kruskal-Wallis test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, logistic regression and χ2 test. Furthermore, the results from Kaplan-Meier survival analysis indicated that low ABCD3 mRNA expression had a poorer prognosis value compared with ABCD3 high expression in patients with CRC. In addition, results from univariate Cox regression analysis indicated that ABCD3 mRNA expression was associated with overall survival (OS), and results from multivariate Cox analysis indicated that ABCD3 mRNA expression may be considered an independent prognostic factor from other clinical factors, such as clinical stage, sex and age. The results from Gene Set Enrichment Analysis demonstrated that the ABCD3 high-expression phenotype was differentially enriched in five biological processes, including apoptosis, cell cycle, renal cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer and colorectal cancer. The findings from this study demonstrated that ABCD3 mRNA expression may be considered as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in patients with CRC. ABCD3 expression levels may participate in the regulation of cell apoptosis and cell cycle. In addition, GSEA analysis identified Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes pathways for renal cell carcinoma, thyroid cancer and CRC involving ABCD3.

Project description:Aquaporins (AQPs) are a kind of transmembrane proteins that exist in various organs of the human body. AQPs play an important role in regulating water transport, lipid metabolism and glycolysis of cells. Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a common malignant tumor of the kidney, and the prognosis is worse than other types of renal cell cancer (RCC). The impact of AQPs on the prognosis of ccRCC and the potential relationship between AQPs and the occurrence and development of ccRCC are demanded to be investigated. In this study, we first explored the expression pattern of AQPs by using Oncomine, UALCAN, and HPA databases. Secondly, we constructed protein-protein interaction (PPI) network and performed function enrichment analysis through STRING, GeneMANIA, and Metascape. Then a comprehensive analysis of the genetic mutant frequency of AQPs in ccRCC was carried out using the cBioPortal database. In addition, we also analyzed the main enriched biological functions of AQPs and the correlation with seven main immune cells. Finally, we confirmed the prognostic value of AQPs throughGEPIA and Cox regression analysis. We found that the mRNA expression levels of AQP0/8/9/10 were up-regulated in patients with ccRCC, while those of AQP1/2/3/4/5/6/7/11 showed the opposite. Among them, the expression differences of AQP1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/11 were statistically significant. The differences in protein expression levels of AQP1/2/3/4/5/6 in ccRCC and normal renal tissues were consistent with the change trends of mRNA. The biological functions of AQPs were mainly concentrated in water transport, homeostasis maintenance, glycerol transport, and intracellular movement of sugar transporters. The high mRNA expression levels of AQP0/8/9 were significantly correlated with worse overall survival (OS), while those of AQP1/4/7 were correlated with better OS. AQP0/1/4/9 were prognostic-related factors, and AQP1/9 were independent prognostic factors. In general, this research has investigated the values of AQPs in ccRCC, which could become new survival markers for ccRCC targeted therapy.
