Abstract: Objective To investigate the differences in the expression profiles of circular RNA (circRNA) between luminal breast cancer cells and normal breast cells. Methods Total RNA extracted from luminal breast cancer cells MCF7 and normal breast cells MCF10A was digested with Rnase R to remove linear RNAs and enrich circRNAs. The enriched circRNAs were amplified and transcribed into fluorescent cRNAs using a random priming method, and were hybridized onto the circRNA hybridization array. The circRNA expression profiles of MCF7 and MCF10A cells were analyzed using Agilent Feature Extraction software. Quantile normalization and subsequent data processing were performed, and volcano plot filtering and hierarchical clustering were utilized to analyze the circRNA expression patterns. The expressions of 3 circRNAs with significant log fold changes were validated using qPCR. Results The hybridization array data revealed significant differences in the circRNA expression profiles between MCF7 and MCF10A cells. Compared with those of MCF10A cells, the 12910 circRNAs expressed in MCF7 cells showed 5964 up-regulated, 81 consistently regulated, and 6865 down-regulated circRNAs; 343 circRNAs showed a log fold change by more than 2 folds, among which 213 circRNAs were up-regulated and 130 were down-regulated. Nine circRNAs showed differential expressions by more than 2 folds, including 8 up-regulated ones, namely hsa_circRNA_061260 (6.02 folds), hsa_circRNA_103933 (5.96 folds), hsa_circRNA_005239 (5.84 folds), hsa_circRNA_100689 (5.69 folds), hsa_circRNA_004087 (5.60 folds), hsa_circRNA_104420 (5.25 folds), hsa_circRNA_104421 (5.13 folds) and hsa_circRNA_101222 (5.03 folds); only one circRNA was down-regulated, namely hsa_circRNA_104864 (5.09 folds). The expressions of hsa_circRNA_100689, hsa_circRNA_005239 and hsa_circRNA_104864 were further validated by qPCR, which yielded consistent results with the microarray data. Conclusion The circRNA expression profiles differ significantly between luminal breast cancer cells and normal breast cells. These differentially expressed circRNAs may serve as potential novel targets for the diagnosis of luminal breast cancer.

乳腺癌是女性最常见的恶性肿瘤,具有高度异质性,是典型的以分子分型指导治疗方案的恶性肿瘤,其中Luminal亚型乳腺癌约占乳腺癌发病总数的65%~ 70%[1-3]。发现新的早期诊断标志物对Luminal亚型乳腺癌的诊疗具有重要的指导作用。

环状RNA(circRNA)是一种共价闭合环状结构的非编码RNA,近年来逐渐成为分子生物学和临床诊断学研究的热点[4-5]。circRNA在不同的物种、组织、细胞中的表达不同,具有组织特异性[6-11],且circRNA对核酸酶不敏感,比线性RNA更为稳定,这使得circRNA在作为新型临床诊断标记物的开发应用上具有明显优势。circRNA还可作为miRNA的分子海绵而抑制miRNA的活性,并具有调控基因转录、结合RNA结合蛋白等功能[4]。circRNA在肿瘤的发生发展过程中发挥重要作用,其广泛性、保守性及组织特异性都预示着它有望有望成为新型肿瘤标志物和潜在靶点,为肿瘤的诊断和靶向治疗提供新的方向[6]

目前,circRNA在乳腺癌中的研究报道较少,而且缺少从组学角度筛选差异调控circRNA的研究。Liang等[12]发现cycDENND4C是一种HIF1α相关的转录因子,在缺氧条件下可促进乳腺癌的增殖;对乳腺癌组织与癌旁组织的差异circRNA进行筛选,发现一些差异表达的circRNA,但该研究没有进行分型研究[13];let-7是报道较多的一种circRNA,其在乳腺癌、卵巢癌等多种肿瘤中表达下调,且let-7的下调与肿瘤的淋巴结转移和增殖水平相关。let-7能够下调致癌基因RAS和MYC的表达,并通过调控细胞周期相关基因影响乳腺癌增殖[14];目前circRNA在乳腺癌中的研究多集中于特定circRNA的作用机制或高通量的致病circRNA筛查等方面,而circRNA在特定亚型乳腺癌中的研究仅见于circGFRA1在三阴性乳腺癌中发挥内源竞争RNA (ceRNA)机制[15],circRNA在特定亚型乳腺癌中的表达谱及分子诊断价值尚未见报道。本文通过circRNA芯片对Luminal亚型乳腺癌细胞与正常乳腺细胞的circRNA表达谱进行差异比较,力求从整体水平上发现与Luminal亚型乳腺癌发生发展显著相关的circRNA,为具有致癌或抑癌作用的circRNA以及Luminal亚型乳腺癌的早期诊断提供依据。

分别提取3组MCF10A和MCF7细胞的总RNA,利用紫外分光光度计测定总RNA的A260 nm/280 nm均在1.9~2.1之间,说明RNA纯度较好;RNA浓度在700~950 ng/μL。利用改良琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测总RNA提取质量。代表性的电泳结果如图 1所示,样本细胞提取的总RNA由28 s、18 s和5 s 3条清晰条带组成,RNA完整度较好。

3 讨论

circRNA与膀胱癌[16-17]、肝细胞癌[18-19]、胃癌[20]、大肠癌[21]、喉癌[22]、基底细胞癌[23]等多种恶性肿瘤的发生发展密切相关,但circRNA在乳腺癌中的报道却较少,并且尚未发现乳腺癌亚型特异性的circRNA。在缺氧条件下circDENND4C的表达水平升高,且能够促进乳腺癌细胞增殖[12]。Lu等[13]利用circRNA芯片筛选了乳腺癌组织与癌旁组织的差异表达circRNA,并预测了重要的circRNA-miRNA互作关系对,但该研究并没有对乳腺癌亚型进行细分。circRNA还与miRNA、lncRNA组成复杂的内源竞争性调控网络,从而影响Luminal亚型乳腺癌的发生发展[24-25]。研究表明miR- 34a与circRNA-LDHA组成的调控轴可促进乳腺癌增殖,而由雌激素受体调控的microRNA表达缺失可导致HER2信号通路过度激活,可能导致Luminal亚型乳腺癌患者预后较差[26-27]。然而,circRNA在Luminal亚型乳腺癌中的整体表达特征及其与正常乳腺上皮细胞的差异表达circRNA谱尚无人报道。本研究从整体水平研究circRNA在Luminal亚型乳腺癌细胞和正常乳腺细胞中的表达谱差异。研究采用Arraystar公司推出的全球首款circRNA芯片,其具有特异性剪接位点探针与外切酶预处理双重保障,能够准确检测样本中circRNA的表达,具有通量大、周期短、灵敏度高的优点。我们使用该circRNA芯片对Luminal亚型乳腺癌细胞MCF7和正常乳腺细胞MCF10A的circRNA进行分析,分别获得的两组细胞的circRNA表达谱和差异circRNA表达谱。与MCF10A相比,MCF7细胞中有5964条circRNA表达上调,6865条下调。差异表达2倍以上的有343条,其中213条上调,130条下调;差异表达5倍以上的有9条,其中8条上调,1条下调。

差异表达显著的circRNA可能参与了Luminal亚型乳腺癌的发生、发展与分子调控进程。hsa_circRNA_ 100689(2.24倍)和hsa_circRNA_005239(2.2倍)是差异表达倍数最高的两条circRNA,两条circRNA均命名为GFRA1。He等[15]发现circGFRA1表达上调与三阴性乳腺癌患者较差预后相关,并提出circGFRA1和GFRA1通过ceRNA机制调控miR-34a的生物学作用,提示circGFRA1可能是乳腺癌重要的致癌基因。本研究发现并验证的另外几种差异表达circRNA均属首次报道,尚没有文献报道其作用机理。在后续的研究中,我们将深入探索新发现的差异circRNA的生物学作用及作用机制,期望发现新的有望用于Luminal亚型乳腺癌临床诊断或治疗靶标的circRNA分子。

MCF7为雌激素受体阳性的乳腺癌细胞,该细胞株保留了多个分化乳腺上皮的特性,是研究Luminal亚型乳腺癌的最常用的细胞类型之一[28]。MCF10A是一种永生化的不具有致瘤性的乳腺正常上皮细胞,对胰岛素、糖皮质激素、表皮生长因子等外源刺激有响应,在电镜下观察,MCF10A细胞呈现典型的导管样细胞[29];而Hs 578bst是一种正常乳腺成纤维细胞,其来源于一个浸润性导管癌(Hs 578T的起源)旁的正常乳房组织,由于其具有成纤维细胞生长特性,并且没有ER受体[30],因此本研究选择MCF10A作为对照细胞。

综上所述,本研究绘制了Luminal亚型乳腺癌细胞与正常乳腺细胞的circRNA表达谱,发现了一些新的差异表达circRNA,为阐明Luminal亚型乳腺癌的致病机制和发现新的诊断靶标奠定了基础。
