Identification of MicroRNA Expression Patterns and a MicroRNAs/mRNA Regulatory Network in Multiple Myeloma

ABSTRACT: To date, little evidence of miRNA expression/deregulation in multiple myeloma (MM) has been reported. To characterize miRNA expression profiling of MM plasma cells (PCs) and integrate miRNA expression data with other molecular features of MM patients, global miRNA expression profiles were generated for PCs isolated from BM biopsies of 38 newly diagnosed MM, 2 plasma cell leukemia patients, and 3 healthy donors; the samples were also profiled for global gene expression, and nineteen of them underwent genome-wide DNA analysis using high-density SNP-microarrays. Differential miRNA expression patterns were mainly identified in association with the major IGH translocations: in particular, t(4;14) showed specific over-expression of let-7e, miR-125a-5p and miR-99b belonging to a cluster at 19q13.33. The occurrence of other lesions, such as 1q gain, 13q and 17p deletions, and hyperdiploidy, was less well characterized by specific miRNA signatures. Genome-wide analysis showed that some allelic imbalances led to the significantly altered expression of miRNAs located in the involved regions, such as let-7b at 22q13.31 loss and miR-142-3p at 17q22 gain. The integrative analysis based on computational target prediction, miRNA and mRNA profiling defined a network of putative functional miRNA-target regulatory relations supported by expression data.

The integrative analysis based on computational target prediction, miRNA and mRNA profiling defined a network of putative functional miRNA-target regulatory relations supported by expression data. This series of microarray experiments contains the microRNA profiles of purified plasma cells (PCs) obtained from 3 normal donor (N), 38 multiple myeloma (MM) and 2 plasma cell leukemia (PCL) at diagnosis. PCs were purified from bone marrow specimens after red blood cell lysis with 0.86% ammonium chloride using CD138 immunomagnetic microbeads. The purity of the positively selected PCs was assessed by morphology and flow cytometry and was >90% in all cases. 500 nanograms of total RNA was processed in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols (Agilent Technologies) to generate Cy3-labeled RNA which were purified on chromatography columns (Micro Biospin 6, Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) and hybridized on an Agilent microarray (G4470B) at 55Â°C for 17 hr in a rotating oven. Images at 5 um resolution were generated using an Agilent scanner G2505B. The Feature Extraction 9.5 software (Agilent Technologies) was used to obtain the raw microarray data. The human miRNAs included in the platform were annotated according to Sanger miRBase Release 12.0. After discarding non-human miRNAs, the data were normalized using the Aroma Light package for Bioconductor. To overcome scaling biases due to background subtraction, the data were converted to obtain positive values throughout the dataset, at a minimum value of 1. The global gene expression raw data used in this study was originally deposited as GSE13591 and renormalized for this study. The genome wide profile (DNA) analysis was originally deposited as GSE16121.

Project description:Karyotypic instability, including numerical and structural chromosomal aberrations, represents a distinct feature of multiple myeloma (MM). 40-50% of patients displayed hyperdiploidy, defined by recurrent trisomies of non-random chromosomes. To characterize hyperdiploid (H) and nonhyperdiploid (NH) MM molecularly, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of 66 primary tumors, and used FISH to investigate the major chromosomal alterations. The differential expression of 225 genes mainly involved in protein biosynthesis, transcriptional machinery and oxidative phosphorylation distinguished the 28 H-MM from the 38 NH-MM cases. The 204 upregulated genes in H-MM mapped mainly to the chromosomes involved in hyperdiploidy, and the29% up-regulated genes in NH-MM mapped to 16q. The identified transcriptional fingerprint was robustly validated on a publicly available gene expression dataset of 64 MM cases; and the global expression modulation of regions on the chromosomes involved in hyperdiploidy was verified using a self-developed non-parametric statistical method. We showed that H-MM could be further divided into two distinct molecular and transcriptional entities, characterized by the presence of trisomy 11 and 1q-extracopies/chromosome 13 deletion, respectively. Our data reinforce the importance of combining molecular cytogenetics and gene expression profiling to define a genomic framework for the study of MM pathogenesis and clinical management. Experiment Overall Design: This series of microarray experiments contains the gene expression profiles of purified plasma cells (PCs) obtained from 102 newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM). PCs were purified from bone marrow specimens, after red blood cell lysis with 0.86% ammonium chloride, using CD138 immunomagnetic microbeads. The purity of the positively selected PCs was assessed by morphology and flow cytometry and was > 90% in all cases. 5 micrograms of total RNA was processed and, in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols, 15 micrograms of fragmented biotin-labelled cRNA were hybridized on GeneChip Human Genome U133A Arrays (Affymetrix Inc.). The arrays were scanned using the Agilent GeneChip Scanner G2500A. The images were acquired using Affymetrix MicroArray Suite (MAS) 5.0 software and the probe level data converted to expression values using the Bioconductor function for the Robust Multi-Array average (RMA) procedure (Irizarry et al, 2003), in which perfect match intensities are background adjusted and quantile-quantile normalised.
