Serum miR-200c expression level as a prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The aim of the present study was to analyze the serum expression level of in gastric cancer (GC) patients and to determine the relationship between this expression and clinicopathological features and survival. Serum samples were obtained from 98 patients with GC between February 2008 and January 2013. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to assess miR-200c expression levels in serum samples. Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences between survival curves were compared by… Show more

“…The overexpression of miR-200c in a xenograft model was found to associate with a higher metastatic potential and increased metastatic colonization (32). The present findings, in which expression of miR-200c was upregulated in tumors and associated with poor prognosis and lymph node metastasis, are consistent with experimental data in ovarian (33), colorectal (34), gastric (35,36) and breast (37) cancer. The mechanism may involve miR-200c overexpression and an increase in metastatic risk by repressing the expression of E-cadherin transcriptional repressors ZEB1 and ZEB2, and the final induction of EMT.…”

“…This heterogeneity may influence measurements of miRNA expression, and consequently, the number of samples are tended to be interpreted as representative estimates. In addition, conflicting correlations between amounts of intracellular and extracellular (circulating) miRNAs have been observed in cancer patients, and recent studies indicate that circulating miRNAs may be potential biomarkers for malignant diseases . In fact, our study indicates the existence of multiple OSCC cell types in a single tumor mass that secrete exosomes containing a unique set of miRNAs.…”

“…Many previous reports have indicated that miR‐200c attenuates cell invasion and metastasis by downregulating the master regulators of the epithelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EMT)—such as ZEB1 and ZEB2—in several cancers, including head and neck cancer . In contrast, other studies propose that increased miR‐200c expression is an indicator of malignancy, as it is often found to be overexpressed in the sera of cancer patients as compared with levels in healthy controls . Le et al demonstrated the miR‐200 family‐containing extracellular vesicles are enriched in the sera of patients with metastatic cancers and ectopic expression of miR‐200 family members can enhance the metastatic ability of tumor cells in some settings via the novel miR‐200c targets TKS5 (SH3PXD2A; SH3 and PX domains 2A) and MYLK (MLCK; myosin light chain kinase).…”

“…Furthermore, numerous miRNAs have been determined to be associated with AD, such as miR-512 (17), miR-29c (18), and miR-155 (19). miR-613 is also reported to play a role in the pathogenesis and development of various cancers (20)(21)(22). However, there has been no data to suggest a link between miR-613 and AD.…”
