For overall sample analysis, we found 3 differently expressed miRNA in BC tissues compared to para-carcinoma tissues (PT). Subtype analysis showed that 19, 36 and 19 miRNAs were respectively specific differently expressed in early-stage breast cancer (EBC), advanced stage breast cancer (ABC) and Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) compared to PT. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that hsa-miR-342-3p and hsa-miR-7705 were independent prognostic factors for overall BC and EBC, respectively. And we found hsa-miR-181b-5p, hsa-miR-3200-3p and hsa-miR-4789-3p were all independent prognostic factors for ABC. Moreover, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that hsa-miR-160b-5p significantly affected the survival of patients in ABC. GSEA demonstrated that tumor related KEGG items (such as cell cycle, ERBB signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, etc.) were differentially enriched in BC. The results of qPCR showed that the expression status of hsa-miR-342-3p, hsa-miR-7705 hsa-miR-160b-5p and hsa-miR-3200-3p were consistent with the results of comprehensive analysis. Finally, this study revealed hsa-miR-342-3p, hsa-miR-7705, hsa-miR-160b-5p and hsa-miR-3200-3p can be used as prognostic biomarkers for BC. Breast adenocarcinoma miRNA TCGA GEO whole transcriptome profiling Figures Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7 Figure 8 Introduction In 2020, the number of newly-diagnosed breast cancer (BC) cases worldwide was 2.26 million [ 1 ]. It has overtaken lung cancer as the most commonly-diagnosed cancer type for the first time. The global burden of BC is increasing [ 2 ]. Despite great advances in the research and treatment of BC, it remains an unresolved health problem and represents a major focus of biomedical research [ 3 ]. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs of about 21–22 nucleotide (nt) that regulate gene expression by recognizing homologous sequences and interfering with transcriptional, translational, or epigenetic processes [ 4 ]. Which regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional stage by inhibiting messenger RNA (mRNA) translation or promoting mRNA degradation [ 5 ]. For a balanced physiological environment, the expression of miRNA needs to be properly regulated. As these small molecules can affect almost all cellular activities, including cell cycle checkpoints, cell proliferation and apoptosis, and have a wide range of target genes. The dysregulation of miRNA expression is associated with various cancers by acting as tumor suppressors and oncogenes [ 6 – 10 ]. Circulating miRNAs also serve as potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of various cancers and other known diseases and syndromes [ 11 – 13 ]. Therefore, these miRNA biomarkers that predict disease diagnosis and prognosis may become therapeutic targets for some diseases. For example, studies in recent decades have revealed that miRNAs are potentially reliable prognostic markers for breast cancer progression and overall survival, and can even be used to monitor patient progression and inform treatment [ 14 ]. In this study, we aim to identify miRNAs as independent prognostic factors of BC by comprehensive analysis of the miRNA expression data obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) and whole transcriptome profiling (WT), with the hope of providing more guidance for the diagnosis and prognosis of breast adenocarcinoma. Methods and methods Collection of data on miRNAs from TCGA, GEO and WT The miRNAs expression data of BC were downloaded from TCGA ( http://portal.gdc.cancer.gov/ ). WT was conducted by the biotech company GENEWIZ (Suzhou, China, www.genewiz.com.cn ). Data were organized, extracted and annotated via Practical Extraction and Report Language 5.28 (Perl). The standardization of miRNAs and mRNAs were realized by R software (version 4.1.3). Data of GSE57897 were analyzed using GEOR2 tool. Screen of different expression miRNAs A total of 1104 tumor samples and 104 para-carcinoma samples from TCGA, 422 tumor samples and 31 para-carcinoma samples from GSE57897 and 14 tumor samples and 9 para-carcinoma samples from WT were included in this study. miRNAs of all samples from TCGA and WT were used to screen differentially expressed miRNAs by R language "limma" and "edgeR" software package [ 15 , 16 ]. Data of GSE57897 were analyzed using GEOR2 tool. The screening criteria for differentially expressed miRNAs were set as |log fold change (FC)| > |0.8|, and a relative P -value < 0.05. R language "gplots" software package was utilized to produce heat map and volcano plot [ 17 ]. Jvenn was used to screen co-different expression miRNAs among TCGA, GEO and WT [ 18 ]. Moreover, subgroup analysis was conducted in this study, since BC is a heterogeneous malignant disease. And Jveen was used to screen out special different expression miRNAs in early-stage breast cancer (EBC), advanced stage breast cancer (ABC) or Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Identify independent prognosis prediction miRNAs The over survival (OS) of differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier analysis using R language "survival" software package [ 19 ]. Subsequently, Multivariate cox regressions analysis was also performed using R language "survival" software package to identify independent prognosis prediction miRNAs. The "forestplot" package of R language was used to draw forest map for hazard ratios (HRs) [ 20 ]. Gene sets enrichment analysis (GSEA) Data of standardized miRNAs and mRNAs were merged which was combined and used for carry out GSEA via GSEA 4.3.2 [ 21 ]. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways were identified and R language "ggplot2" software package was utilized to merge GO and KEGG pathways figures [ 22 ]. Real‑time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) BC samples and para-carcinoma samples were collected in Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital. The 1st -miRNA cDNA was synthesized via miRNA First Strand cDNA Synthesis (Tailing Reaction) Kit (Sangon Biotech, Shanghai, China). The expression level of the miRNA was quantified by qPCR using SYBR Green Premix (YEASEN, Shanghai, China) on the ABI Prism® 7500 Sequence Detection System (Applied Biosystems, China). U6 was served as the internal control for qPCR normalization, and the relative gene levels were calculated by 2 −ΔΔCT method. The primer sequences of these miRNAs were listed in Tables S1. Statistical Analysis Statistical analysis of qPCR results was performed using GraphPad Prism v8.0 (GraphPad Software). The Shapiro-Wilk test was conducted to check for a normal distribution of the qPCR data. The data which were normally distributed were analyzed by Student’s t-test. And the data which were abnormally distributed were analyzed by Wilcoxon’s rank sum test. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Characteristic of data from TCGA, GEO and WT The overall study flow scheme was depicted in Fig. 1 . In this study, data of 1104 BC patients were gathered from TCGA for analysis, which included the expression data of 2223 miRNAs. And data of 14 BC patients whose samples were used to conduct whole transcriptome profiling. The clinicopathological characteristics (age, race, survival status, survival time, gender, pathological type, and TNM stage) of the patients were displayed in Tables S2 and S3. Unfortunately, we failed to obtain the details of patients from GSE57897. Screen of different expression miRNAs Overall sample analysis The screening results showed that there were 421 up-regulated miRNAs and 198 down-regulated miRNAs of BC tissues from TCGA (Fig. 2 A). And 64 up-regulated miRNAs and 73 down-regulated miRNAs of BC tissues from GSE57897 were identified (Fig. 2 B). Moreover, 117 up-regulated miRNAs and 159 down-regulated miRNAs of BC tissues were screened from WT data (Fig. 2 C). Venn diagram results showed that there were 2 co-upregulated miRNAs (hsa-miR-342-3p and hsa-miR-425-5p, Table 1 ) and 1 co-downregulated miRNAs (hsa-miR-4701-5p, Table 1 ) in BC tissues among TCGA, GSE57897 and WT (Fig. 2 D).

Identify independent prognosis prediction miRNAs Kaplan-Meier survival analysis To ascertain whether these miRNAs influence the survival of BC, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was further performed. The results showed that there was a statistically significant differences in the survival time between the high and low expression groups of hsa-miR-342-3p ( P = 0.0122) in all BC tissues (Fig. 5 A). hsa-miR-7705 ( P = 0.0492) played an important role in EBC via Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (Fig. 5 B). Moreover, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that hsa-miR-106b-5p ( P = 0.0212), hsa-miR-181b-5p ( P = 0.0494), hsa-miR-3200-3p ( P = 0.0246) and hsa-miR-4789-3p ( P = 0.0282) significantly influence the survival of ABC patients (Fig. 5 C - F). hsa-miR-135b-5p ( P = 0.0441) and hsa-miR-577 ( P = 0.0471) were found to play key roles in TNBC through Kaplan-Meier survival analysis (Fig. 5 G, H). Multivariate cox regressions analysis Subsequently, independent prognosis prediction miRNAs were identified by Multivariate cox regressions analysis and the results showed that hsa-miR-342-3p (HR = 0.39; 95% CI 0.22–0.69; P = 0.0013) and hsa-miR-7705 (HR = 2.37; 95% CI 1.17–4.82; P = 0.0169) were independent prognostic factors for overall BC and EBC, respectively (Fig. 6 A, B). Furthermore, hsa-miR-181b-5p (HR = 0.17; 95% CI 0.03–0.84; P = 0.0294), hsa-miR-3200-3p (HR = 5.78; 95% CI 2.26–14.77; P = 0.0003) and hsa-miR-4789-3p (HR = 27.66; 95% CI 2.02–378.35; P = 0.0129) were found to be independent prognostic factors for ABC (Fig. 6 C). Unfortunately, hsa-miR-135b-5p (HR = 0.62; 95% CI 0.17–2.30; P = 0.4783) and hsa-miR-577 (HR = 0.94; 95% CI 0.33–2.69; P = 0.9149) were not independent prognostic factors for TNBC (Fig. 6 D). Gene sets enrichment analysis (GSEA) GSEA was conducted to explore the biological relevance of 8 miRNAs using KEGG database. KEGG items cell cycle, DNA replication, ERBB signaling pathway and Wnt signaling pathway differentially enriched in low hsa-miR-342-3p expression phenotype (Fig. 7 A). Base excision repair and homologous recombination signaling pathway differentially enriched in high hsa-miR-7705 expression phenotype (Fig. 7 B). KEGG items TGF-β and Wnt signaling pathways differentially enriched in low hsa-miR-106b-5p and hsa-miR-181b-5p expression phenotypes (Fig. 7 C, D). Moreover, KEGG items cell cycle and DNA replication were enriched in hsa-miR-3200-3p and hsa-miR-4789-3p high expression phenotype (Fig. 7 E, F). KEGG items renin angiotensin system and natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity were enriched in in hsa-miR-135b-5p low and high expression phenotype, respectively (Fig. 7 G). Immune related KEGG items antigen processing and presentation, B cell receptor and T cell receptor signaling pathways were respectively enriched in in hsa-miR-577 high expression phenotype (Fig. 7 H). Clinical sample validation To validated the expression of miRNA in BC, 20 of EBC and 20 of ABC patients were recruited, including 23 NTNBC and 11 NTBC. The results of qPCR showed that hsa-miR-342-3p ( P < 0.0001) was significantly higher in BC than PT (Fig. 8 A). hsa-miR-7705 ( P = 0.024) was specific higher expression in EBC vs PT (Fig. 8 B, C). Meanwhile, hsa-miR-160b-5p ( P < 0.0001) and hsa-miR-3200-3p ( P = 0.0319) were specific higher expression in ABC vs PT (Fig. 8 D, E, H, I). hsa-miR-181b-5p was higher expression in EBC ( P < 0.0001) and ABC ( P < 0.0001) than PT (Fig. 8 F, G). The expression of hsa-miR-4789-3p was not significant difference between ABC and PT ( P = 0.245) (Fig. 8 K). Our results also demonstrated that hsa-miR-135b-5p was increased in NTNBC ( P = 0.0097) and TNBC ( P = 0.007) (Fig. 8 L, M). And there was no significant difference in the expression of hsa-miR-577 between TNBC and PT ( P = 0.083) (Fig. 8 O). Discussion In some developing countries, the incidence and mortality rate of breast adenocarcinoma are increasing [ 23 ]. Early detection and diagnosis of the disease can reduce mortality, especially in some Asia-Pacific countries where breast cancer mortality rate is two-fold higher than in Western countries and more frequently diagnosed in advanced stages. Moreover, new non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers with high sensitivity and specificity are needed for early breast adenocarcinoma detection [ 24 ]. The purpose of this study was to find out the independent prognostic factors of breast adenocarcinoma and to provide a basis for the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of BC. In this study, by performing bioinformatical analysis on patient data obtained from TCGA, GEO and WT, we confirmed that hsa-miR-342-3p and hsa-miR-106-5p are important prognostic factors for BC. In recent years, an increasing number of studies have shown that miRNAs may play the role of oncogene or tumor suppressor genes in the pathogenesis of cancer [ 25 ]. There were numerous studies focusing on the effects of differential miRNA expression on various cancer types. Previous studies showed that loss of function of hsa-miR-342-3p promoted the development of BC [ 26 ]. Which are consistent with our results that overexpression of hsa-miR-342-3p significantly prolonged survival time of patients with breast cancer. GSEA indicated that hsa-miR-342-3p may suppress the progression of BC via inhibiting cancer- related ERBB and Wnt signaling pathway. Sang et al reported that the expression of hsa-miR-7705 was increased in BC vs PT, which was similar with our results [ 27 ]. Although our comprehensive analysis results showed that hsa-miR-7705 was special increased in EBC compared with PT and was a poor independent prognosis factor for EBC, our validation results indicated that the expression of hsa-miR-7705 was higher in EBC vs PT. BRCA mutation could lead to homologous recombination repair deficiency and Poly-ADP ribose polymerase inhibitors could cause synthetic lethality in BRCA mutation cells [ 28 ]. We previously reported that PARPi can improved PFS of patients with BRCA -mutated breast cancer [ 29 ]. However, PARPi resistance occurred in some BRCA mutation cancers, epigenetic regulation may contribute to DNA repair pathways [ 30 ]. GSEA showed that hsa-miR-7705 improved the progression of EBC via activating base excision repair and homologous recombination signaling pathway, which may improve PARPi resistance in breast cancer. Some studies showed hsa-miR-106b-5p play crucial roles in the progression of BC [ 31 , 32 ]. Zhou et al reported that miR-106b-5p promoted cisplatin resistance in TNBC by down-regulating GDF11 [ 31 ]. Meanwhile, Farré et al demonstrated that hsa-miR-106b-5p was up-regulated in Basal subtypes, which were more aggressive than others [ 32 ]. And they did not find that the stage affected the expression of hsa-miR-106b-5p. This result is different from our results of comprehensive analysis. We found that hsa-miR-106b-5p was special up-regulated in ABC and it was a good prognosis factor for ABC patients. GSEA indicated that multiple cancer-related pathway items differently enriched in miR-106b-5p low expression phenotype. hsa-miR-106b-5p may suppress the progression of ABC via inhibiting key molecules of these pathways. Studies showed that hsa-miR-3200-3p plays a key role in the development of various tumors, such as glioma, cervical cancer and non-small cell lung cancer [ 33 – 35 ]. There are few researches reported that if it can influence the progression of BC. Our results indicated that hsa-miR-3200-3p significantly affected survival of ABC patients and was a bad independent prognosis factor. hsa-miR-3200-3p can improve the progression of ABC via promoting cell cycle of cancer cells. Of course, there are some shortcomings in this study. Firstly, the survival data only obtained from TCGA database, which makes survival analysis unverifiable. Secondly, no immunohistochemical methods were used for analysis and discussion. Last but not least, the sample size was smaller in whole transcriptome profiling analysis. In conclusion, hsa-miR-342-3p and hsa-miR-7705 were respectively independent prognostic factors for overall BC and EBC. Moreover, hsa-miR-160b-5p played a key role in ABC. Finally, hsa-miR-3200-3p was independent prognostic factor for ABC. This study further supported that the miRNAs with distinctive expression pattern in breast adenocarcinoma from normal tissues/cells may be exploited as indicators for disease progression or choice of treatments, or therapeutic targets.

It has overtaken lung cancer as the most commonly-diagnosed cancer type for the first time. The global burden of BC is increasing [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e]. Despite great advances in the research and treatment of BC, it remains an unresolved health problem and represents a major focus of biomedical research [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs of about 21\u0026ndash;22 nucleotide (nt) that regulate gene expression by recognizing homologous sequences and interfering with transcriptional, translational, or epigenetic processes [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]. Which regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional stage by inhibiting messenger RNA (mRNA) translation or promoting mRNA degradation [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e]. For a balanced physiological environment, the expression of miRNA needs to be properly regulated. As these small molecules can affect almost all cellular activities, including cell cycle checkpoints, cell proliferation and apoptosis, and have a wide range of target genes. The dysregulation of miRNA expression is associated with various cancers by acting as tumor suppressors and oncogenes [\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR7 CR8 CR9\" citationid=\"CR6\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e6\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e].

Early detection and diagnosis of the disease can reduce mortality, especially in some Asia-Pacific countries where breast cancer mortality rate is two-fold higher than in Western countries and more frequently diagnosed in advanced stages.

For overall sample analysis, we found 3 differently expressed miRNA in BC tissues compared to para-carcinoma tissues (PT). Subtype analysis showed that 19, 36 and 19 miRNAs were respectively specific differently expressed in early-stage breast cancer (EBC), advanced stage breast cancer (ABC) and Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) compared to PT. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that hsa-miR-342-3p and hsa-miR-7705 were independent prognostic factors for overall BC and EBC, respectively. And we found hsa-miR-181b-5p, hsa-miR-3200-3p and hsa-miR-4789-3p were all independent prognostic factors for ABC. Moreover, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that hsa-miR-160b-5p significantly affected the survival of patients in ABC. GSEA demonstrated that tumor related KEGG items (such as cell cycle, ERBB signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, etc.) were differentially enriched in BC. The results of qPCR showed that the expression status of hsa-miR-342-3p, hsa-miR-7705 hsa-miR-160b-5p and hsa-miR-3200-3p were consistent with the results of comprehensive analysis. Finally, this study revealed hsa-miR-342-3p, hsa-miR-7705, hsa-miR-160b-5p and hsa-miR-3200-3p can be used as prognostic biomarkers for BC.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Expression profile analysis and the role of miRNA in breast adenocarcinoma","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-03-29 19:07:39","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4147896/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"
