MicroRNA expression Data from cerebrospinal fluid of cancer patients

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a dismal terminal stage disease of solid cancer without definitive treatment. Both the limitation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sample volume and a paucity of floating cancer cells are difficulties to study the genomic profiling of LM. As the profiling of microRNAs reflect the strategy and behavior of cancer cells to survive, and CSF is carrying micro-molecules from central nervous system (CNS), we evaluated the extracellular microRNA profiles of CSF from different CNS tumor status including LM. Materials and Methods: We prospectively collected CSF from 65 patients of five groups of cancer control (CC), healthy control (HC), LM, brain metastasis (BM); and brain tumor (BT). Extracellular RNA was extracted from 2 mL of CSF after proper cell down, and preceded to small RNA microarray with Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 microarray chips. Results: The mean RNA yield of LM patients was significantly higher compared to that of other patients groups (9.28 vs. 6.30 ㎍, p = 0.003). The small RNA (< 70 nucleotides) percentage was the highest in controls than that of other groups (53% vs. 26%, p < 0.001). Among 6,599 small RNA probes, mature microRNAs showed higher expression than that of pre-microRNAs and small nucleolar RNAs. The number of probes with the Present call in all samples is 22 mature microRNAs, 18 pre-mature microRNAs, and 27 small nucleolar RNAs. Expression value of mature microRNAs regarding their direction of 5 prime (5p) and 3 prime (3p), the expression of 3p microRNA is higher than those of 5p microRNA in both LM and BM samples (p < 0.001). Both supervised and unsupervised hierarchical clustering of 263 microRNAs, which showed more than 2 fold change at a significance level of p < 0.05, can differentiate LM from other CNS tumor patient groups. Prediction analysis of microarray (PAM) identified 13 microRNAs differentiate LM group from others including hsa-miR-335-5p and hsa-miR-466. MicroRNA profiling using significance of analysis of microarrays (SAM) analysis did not differentiate HC and CC. Whereas CSF samples from patients with LM showed the most number of 108 differentially expressed (more than 2 fold change) microRNAs compared to control group and also revealed 36 differentially expressed microRNAs between LM and BM including hsa-miR-466, hsa-miR-190a-3p, hsa-miR-98-3p, hsa-miR-34b-3p and so on. Representative discriminative microRNAs from microarray data were confirmed their expression level by digital droplet PCR in available CSF samples among the microarray samples. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis was performed using both 10 highly expressed and 6 suppressed microRNAs between LM and BM after normalization and 13 microRNAs from PAM analysis. The most targeted pathway was ‘positive-/ negative-transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter followed by ‘positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated’ by discriminative microRNAs. When pathways were denoted by microRNAs from PAM, the most enriched pathway was inflammatory response and transcription relative to immune response. Conclusion: We performed extracellular small RNA microarray successfully with small volume of CSF. Analysis of profiles of microRNA according to patients with various CNS tumor status suggested the unique profiles might responsible for leptomeningeal metastasis.

Project description:Background: TrkB-T1 is a BDNF receptor lacking a tyrosine kinase domain that is highly expressed in astrocytes and regulates BDNF-evoked calcium transients. Previous studies indicate that downregulation of TrkB-T1 in frontal cortex may be involved in neurobiological processes underlying suicide. Methods: In a microarray screening study (N=8), we interrogated all known microRNA in the frontal cortex of suicide completers with low expression of TrkB-T1 and normal controls. These findings were validated and followed up in a larger sample of cases and controls (N=55) Functional analyses included microRNA silencing, microRNA overexpression and luciferase assays to investigate specificity and to validate interactions between differentially expressed microRNA and TrkB-T1 Results: microRNAs Hsa-miR-185* and Hsa-miR-491-3p were upregulated in suicide completers with low expression of TrkB.T1 (Pnominal: 9.10-5 and 1.8.10-4 respectively; FDR-corrected p=0.031). Bioinformatic analyses revealed five putative binding sites for the DiGeorge syndrome linked microRNA Hsa-miR-185*in the 3M-bM-^@M-^YUTR of TrkB-T1, but none for Hsa-miR-491-3P. The increase of Hsa-miR-185* in frontal cortex of suicide completers was validated then confirmed in a larger, randomly selected group of suicide completers, where an inverse correlation between Hsa-miR-185* and TrkB-T1 expression was observed ( R=-0.404; p=0.002). Silencing and overexpression studies performed in human cell lines confirmed the inverse relationship between hsa-mir-185* and trkB-T1 expression. Luciferase assays demonstrated that Hsa-miR-185* binds to sequences in the 3M-bM-^@M-^YUTR of TrkB-T1. Conclusion: These results suggest that an increase of Hsa-miR-185* expression levels regulates, at least in part, the TrkB-T1 decrease observed in the frontal cortex of suicide completers and further implicate the 3MB 22q11 region in psychopathology. The microarray analysis consists in to compare the microRNA profile of four suicide completers with low TrkB-T1 expression level and four controls. Each RNA extract was labeled with Hy3 and hybridyzed with a reference sample labeled with Hy5. The reference sample was a pool of the eight RNA samples

Project description:Background: MicroRNAs are potent regulators of biologic systems that are critical to tissue homeostasis. Individual microRNAs have been identified in airway samples. However, a systems analysis of the microRNA-mRNA networks present in the sputum that contribute to airway inflammation in asthma has not been published. Methods: We conducted a genome-wide analysis of microRNA and messenger RNA (mRNA) in the sputum from patients with asthma and correlated expression with clinical phenotypes. Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) was implemented to identify microRNA networks (modules) that significantly correlate with clinical features of asthma and mRNA expression networks. MicroRNA expression in peripheral blood neutrophils and lymphocytes, and in situ hybridization of the sputum were used to identify the cellular sources of microRNAs. MicroRNA expression obtained before and after ozone exposure was also used to identify changes associated with neutrophil counts in the airway. Results: Six microRNA modules were associated with clinical features of asthma. A single module (nely) was associated with a history of hospitalizations, lung function impairment, and numbers of neutrophils and lymphocytes in the sputum. Of the 12 microRNAs in the nely module, hsa-miR-223-3p was the highest expressed microRNA in neutrophils and was associated with increased neutrophil counts in the sputum in response to ozone exposure. Multiple microRNAs in the nely module correlated with two mRNA modules enriched for toll-like receptor (TLR) and Th17 signaling, and endoplasmic reticulum stress. Hsa-miR-223-3p was a key regulator of the TLR and Th17 pathways in the sputum of subjects with asthma. Conclusions: This study of sputum microRNA and mRNA expression from patients with asthma demonstrates the existence of microRNA networks and genes that are associated with features of asthma severity. Among these, hsa-miR-223-3p, a neutrophil-derived microRNA, regulates TLR/Th17 signaling and endoplasmic reticulum stress.
