Determining that miRNAs play a role in breast cancer pathogenesis suggests that it may be useful in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. In this study, 39 patients with invasive breast cancer were diagnosed with serum levels of 20 miRNAs(miR-105, miR-21, miR-141, miR-200a, miR-200b, miR-200c, miR-203, miR-210, miR-375, miR-34a, miR-133a, miR-155, miR-139-5p, miR-143, miR-145, miR-365, miR-299-5p, miR-411, miR-452, miR-17) were analyzed during diagnosis and after treatment. In the analysis results, it is detected that serum levels of miR-200c(p=0.030), miR-375(p=0.045), miR-34a(p=0.042) were significantly higher in the local advanced/metastatic group. Serum level of miR-141(p=0.062) was lower in patients with positive lymph node involvement, whereas miR-133a(p=0.037) levels were higher in the same patient group. MiR-105(p=0.015), miR-203(p=0.015), miR-375(p=0.033), miR-145(p=0.025) serum levels were significantly higher in the progesterone receptor negative group, likewise miR-105(p=0.053) levels were high in the estrogen receptor negative patient group. The high levels of miR-375 and miR-133a were noticeable in human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 positive patients(p=0.037 and p=0.014, respectively). MiR-143(p=0.009) and miR-145(p=0.017) levels were observed to be higher in the patient group with a ki-67 index>20%. It was found that 2 miRNAs(miR-133a(p=0.018) and miR-139-5p(p=0.004)) were significantly higher in patients in the luminal B group, which were separated by molecular subgroups. Nine of miRNAs that evaluated(miR-105(p=0.0001), miR-21(p=0.001), miR-141(p=0.041), miR-200a(p=0.003), miR-200b(p=0.0001), miR-200c(p=0.0001), miR-203(p=0.0001), miR-34a(p=0.0001), miR-452(p=0.018)) significantly increased after treatment and 5 of the miRNAs(miR-155(p=0.0001), miR-143(p=0.0001), miR-145(p=0.0001), miR-365(p=0.0001), miR-299-5p(p=0.0001)) were significantly reduced after treatment. We think that miRNAs may help in evaluating the follow-up and prognosis of invasive breast cancer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
