Abstract

Breast cancer has emerged as the most common cancer-related mortality among women worldwide. Therefore, early cancer detection using biomarkers such as microRNA is needed. One of microRNAs that has an important role in breast cancer development is miR-155. Hsa-miR-155-5p is an oncomir that is commonly dysregulated in breast cancer. This study aims to determine the expression of hsa-miR-155-5p in breast cancer patient’s plasma before and after chemotherapy. We collected 64 samples from breast cancer patients admitted to Dr. Sardjito Hospital in Yogyakarta. RNA from plasma was extracted using RNA Isolation Kit miRCURY-Biofluid. cDNA synthesis was performed using cDNA Synthesis kit II and quantification of miR-155-5p using ExiLent SYBR Green master mix (Exiqon). qRT-PCR results were then analyzed with Livak's method and compared (before and after chemotherapy) with t-test. Expression of miR-155-5p in the breast cancer patients’ plasma after chemotherapy was significantly increased (10.59 times) when compared to before chemotherapy (p = 0.001). We concluded that there was upregulated expression of miR-155-5p after chemotherapy than before chemotherapy. There has not been a known, relevant pathway between hsa-miR-155-5p and chemotherapy regimens nor resistance to chemotherapy. Keywords: Breast cancer, plasma, hsa-miR-155-5p, oncomiR, chemotherapy.

Abstract

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is the type of cancer related to multiple risk factors, including infection by Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). Standard treatment of NPC involves radiotherapy and chemotherapy in local and advanced tumors, while metastatic cases are treated with systemic chemotherapy. However, there is limited data on the causes of tumor recurrence, resistance, and progression. Moreover, the initial symptoms of NPC were often neglected until later enlarged, thus making it difficult to manage. MicroRNA (miRNA) is short molecule with 18-24 nucleotides and functions as protein-expression regulator protein in post-transcription. This study was aimed to determine miRNA expression and its relationship with the incidence of NPC. miR-21 and miR-29c were known to be involved in the development of NPC and resistance. A total of 51 plasma samples and 17 tissue samples were collected from Dharmais Hospital. The samples were taken from 17 untreated patients, 17 treated patients, and 17 healthy participants as control. We examined miRNA, protein of protein EBV (EBNA), and c-Myc expression using immunohistochemistry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Our study revealed an increased expression of miR-21 and decreased expression of miR-29c in patients with NPC. There was also a correlation between the regulation of expression of miR-21 and c-Myc in the treated group of patients, and decreased expression in patients with complete response (CR) (4.13 ± 3.65: 2.74 ± 3.23; p <0.1). The parameters tend to increase in patients with partial response (PR) (3.00 ± 5, 86 compared to 8.77 ± 8.43; p <0.5), while no significant difference in expression of miR-29c in patients with CR and PR was detected. We concluded that miRNA might be detected in the plasma of NPC patients, and miR-21 might become a useful biomarker to determine therapeutic outcome in NPC patients.Keywords: nasopharyngeal cancer; miRNA; biomarker
