Tóm tắt

AbstractMalignant mesothelioma (MM) is an aggressive cancer arising from mesothelial cells, mainly due to former asbestos exposure. Little is known about the microRNA (miRNA) expression of MM. miRNAs are small noncoding RNAs, which play an essential role in the regulation of gene expression. This study was carried out to analyze the miRNA expression profile of 17 MM samples using miRNA microarray. The analysis distinguished the overall miRNA expression profiles of tumor tissue and normal mesothelium. Differentially expressed miRNAs were found in tumor samples compared with normal sample. Twelve of them, let‐7b*, miR‐1228*, miR‐195*, miR‐30b*, miR‐32*, miR‐345, miR‐483‐3p, miR‐584, miR‐595, miR‐615‐3p, and miR‐885‐3p, were highly expressed whereas the remaining nine, let‐7e*, miR‐144*, miR‐203, miR‐340*, miR‐34a*, miR‐423, miR‐582, miR‐7‐1*, and miR‐9, were unexpressed or had severely reduced expression levels. Target genes for these miRNAs include the most frequently affected genes in MM such as CDKN2A, NF2, JUN, HGF, and PDGFA. Many of the miRNAs were located in chromosomal areas known to be deleted or gained in MM such as 8q24, 1p36, and 14q32. Furthermore, we could identify specific miRNAs for each histopathological subtype of MM. Regarding risk factors such as smoking status and asbestos exposure, significantly differentially expressed miRNAs were identified in smokers versus nonsmokers (miR‐379, miR‐301a, miR‐299‐3p, miR‐455‐3p, and miR‐127‐3p), but not in asbestos‐exposed patients versus nonexposed ones. This could be related to the method of assessment of asbestos exposure as asbestos remains to be the main contributor to the development of MM. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss,Inc.
