Array-based miRNA Profiling of Clear Cell Renal Cell Cancer
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short single stranded RNAs that are associated with gene regulation at the transcriptional and translational level. Changes in their expression were found in a variety of human cancers. Because of the lack of corresponding data in clear renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) we have performed genome-wide expression profiling of miRNAs using microarray analysis and quantification of specific miRNAs by TaqMan real-time RT-PCR. Matched malignant and non-malignant tissue samples from two independent 12 ccRCC sets were profiled. The microassay-based experiments identified 14 overexpressed and 20 downregultaed miRNAs in malignant samples. Expression in ccRCC tissue samples compared to matched non-malignant samples measured by RT-PCR was increased by 2.7 to 28fold for the hsa-mir-16, -452, -224, -155, and -210, but decreased by 6.2 to 96fold for hsa-mir-200b, -363, , -429, -200c, -514, and -141. No significant associations between these differentially expressed miRNAs and the clinico-pathological factors tumor stage, grade, and survival rate were found. Nevertheless, malignant and non-malignant tissue could clearly be differentiated by their miRNA profile . A combination of miR-141 and miR-155 resulted in a 96% overall correct classification of samples. The presented differential miRNA pattern provides a solid basis for further validation including functional studies.
