Next Generation Sequencing of the transcriptomes of prostate cancer cells with or without ectopic expression of microRNA miR-30e

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) function as regulators of cancer progression as they modulate different cellular processes. The objective of this study is to demonstrate a multi-dimensional function of miR-30e through regulating genes involved in various signaling pathways including androgen receptor signaling. miR-30e targets androgen receptor mRNA and functions as a tumor suppressor. We noted loss of miR-30e expression in prostate tumors and restored expression of miR-30e led to cell cycle arrest, induction of apoptosis, improved drug sensitivity in prostate cancer cells, and reduced tumor progression in prostate cancer xenograft models. To understand the tumor suppressor function of miR-30e on a global scale, we performed total RNA-sequence analysis upon overexpression of miR-30e in a prostate cancer cell line 22Rv-1, which expresses a splice variant of androgen receptor and represents an androgen-independent and drug-resistant form of prostate cancer.qRT-PCR validation of RNA-sequencing data supports our in vitro study showeing differential expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression, apoptosis and ubiquitination upon expression of miR-30e in prostate cancer cells.
