MicroRNA Biogenesis Pathway Genes Are Deregulated in Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that post-transcriptionally regulate gene expression. Each step of their production and maturation has to be strictly regulated, as any disruption of control mechanisms may lead to cancer. Thus, we have measured the expression of 19 genes involved in miRNAs biogenesis pathway in tumor tissues of 239 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients, 17 CRC patients with liver metastases and 239 adjacent tissues using real-time PCR. Subsequently, the expression of analyzed genes was correlated with the clinical-pathological features as well as with the survival of patients. In total, significant over-expression of all analyzed genes was observed in tumor tissues as well as in liver metastases except for LIN28A/B. Furthermore, it was shown that the deregulated levels of some of the analyzed genes significantly correlate with tumor stage, grade, location, size and lymph node positivity. Finally, high levels of DROSHA and TARBP2 were associated with shorter disease-free survival, while the over-expression of XPO5, TNRC6A and DDX17 was detected in tissues of patients with shorter overall survival and poor prognosis. Our data indicate that changed levels of miRNA biogenesis genes may contribute to origin as well as progression of CRC; thus, these molecules could serve as potential therapeutic targets.

Project description:Twenty-four triple-negative breast cancer and 14 adjacent normal tissues were collected from breast cancer patients during surgeries at National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH, Taipei, Taiwan). All triple-negative breast cancer samples were invasive ductal carcinomas (IDC) and were negative in immunohistochemical statuses of ER, PR, and HER2 receptors, as confirmed by professional pathologists. Treatment procedure of all patients followed the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline. All samples were neoadjuvant-free and were collected before systemic chemotherapy treatments. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients who participated in this study. Using human tissues for research in this study was approved by the institutional review board at NTUH. A novel set of 25-miRNA signature identified in this study was able to effectively distinguish between triple-negative breast cancer and adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, we documented the first evidence of seven polycistronic miRNA clusters preferentially harboring deregulated miRNA genes in triple-negative breast cancer. In the present study, a panel of 24 triple-negative breast cancer and 14 adjacent normal tissue samples were examined for the presence of deregulated miRNA genes using the high-throughput sequencing technology. Total RNA was extracted from the triple-negative breast cancer and adjacent normal samples for preparation of small RNA libraries. Each small RNA library was constructed from total RNA of each sample using the SOLiD Total RNA-Seq Kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). Upon completion of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification, small RNA libraries were purified using the SOLiD Library Micro Column Purification Kit (Applied Biosystems) and hybridized to the template beads using the SOLiD EZ bead system (Applied Biosystems). The template beads were amplified and deposited onto subtract for ligation sequencing by SOLiD 4 System (Applied Biosystems).
