Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are intrinsic regulators in the various cellular processes, and their abnormalities are considered to be involved in the onset of human disorders, including cancer. Circulating miRNA is focused as new cancer biomarker however it is regarded that circulating RNA are released not only from tumor but also by various pathways. Recently, exosomes, small membrane vesicles, have been a major interest in cancer research field, because of their unique biological properties. Exosomes are secreted from various cells and the components (Lipids, mRNAs, miRNAs and proteins) reflect origin of the cells secreting them. Identification of exosomal miRNAs from cancer cells is expected to provide useful biomarkers of cancer. To identify specific exosomal miRNAs as candidate biomarkers for colorectal cancer, we compared exosomal miRNA profiles of 5 colon cancer cell lines with that of normal colon-derived epithelial cells, and isolated a subset of miRNAs as commonly-secreted miRNAs from colon cancer cells Endogenously expression of microRNAs were analyzed by Agilent Human miRNA V3 Microarray (G4470C) using total RNAs of human colon-derived FHC cells and human colon cancer cell lines (HCT116 cells and SW480 cells) at two independent experiments. Exosomal microRNAs were analyzed by microRNA microarray using total RNAs of exosomes from conditioned media of FHC cells, HCT116 cells, and SW480 cells at three independent experiments.As negative control of exosomal microRNAs in conditioned media, FBS-exosomal microRNAs were analyzed at four independent experiments. Exosomes were prepared by step-wise ultra-centrifugation methods. RNA was prepared by Trizol or Trizol-LS reagent (Invitrogen) and RNeasy mini spin column (Qiagen).

To identify specific exosomal miRNAs as candidate biomarkers for colorectal cancer, we profiled exosomal miRNAs in sera of colon cancer patients (n=88) at various TNM stages (I to IV) and healthy controls (n=11) and selected significantly higher microRNAs in serum exosomes of colorectal cancer patients than that of healthy controls. Moreover, we tried to detect their serum exosome levels of using samples from patients after surgical resection of primary tumors (n=24).

Moreover, we tried to detect their serum exosome levels of using samples from patients after surgical resection of primary tumors (n=24). Serum exosomes were prepared by step-wise ultra-centrifugation methods in 24 colorectal cancer patients (age; 35-65) after surgical resection of primary tumor (TNM stage I; n=6, stage II; n=5, stage IIIa; n=5, stage IIIb; n=5, stage IV; n=3) .Exosome fraction was mixed with Trizol-LS reagent (Invitrogen), and aqueous phase was collected by adding chloroform. After addition of ethanol to the aqueous phase, it was placed on to an RNeasy mini spin column (Qiagen) for the purification of total RNAs. The total RNAs were analyzed by Agilent Human miRNA V3 Microarray (G4470C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Project description:We carried out comprehensive analysis for the miRNA profiling of primary tumor and metastatic lesion which seems to be source of circulating miRNA. We picked up two patients who treated with primary tumor resection initially and received chemotherapy followed by surgical resection of liver metastasis. The total miRNA was isolated from frozen tissue specimens. SurePrint G3 Human miRNA microarray kit Rel.21.0 (Agilent Technologies) contains 2549 human microRNA probes. As previously reported, hsa-miR200c revealed specifically high expression in metastatic sites at both two cases. In two colorectal cancer patients, the frozen primary tumor, normal mucosa and liver-metastatic lesion were analyzed by microRNA microarray.
