Background: To analyze and screen the miRNAs associated with lymph node metastasis of breast cancer (BC), and to explore the roles of these miRNAs in the proliferation, invasion and prognosis of BC. Methods: MicroRNAs associated with lymph node metastasis in Her-2 positive BC was screened by TCGA database. The qRT-PCR was used to verify theses 5 miRNAs in 30 cases of Her-2 positive BC with lymph node metastasis of different degree. The tumor tissue samples were divided into non-lymph node metastasis group, ≤ 3 lymph node metastasis group and > 3 lymph node metastasis group. In addition, 10 cases of paracancerous tissues were considered as paracancerous control group. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analysis the relationship of 5 miRNAs and MALAT1 with Her-2 positive BC patients' clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis. CCK8 and Transwell experiments were used to detect the effects of miR-143 and miR-455 on the proliferation and invasion of Her-2 positive BC cells (MDA-MB-453). Results: Five kinds of miRNA (miR-143, miR-196a, miR-455, miR-9 and miR-92a) related with Her-2 positive BC with lymph node metastasis were screened by TCGA database. The detecting results of qRT-PCR showed that the levels of miR-143, miR-196a, miR-9 and MALAT1 increased with the increased number of lymph nodes. The expression level of miR-143 in the group of ≤ 3 lymph nodes metastasis and > 3 lymph nodes metastasis was significantly higher than that in the group of non-lymph nodes metastasis (P 3 lymph nodes metastasis was significantly higher than that in the group of ≤ 3 lymph nodes metastasis (P 3 lymph nodes metastasis was significantly higher than that in the group of non-lymph nodes metastasis (P 3 lymph nodes metastasis was significantly higher than that in the group of ≤ 3 lymph nodes metastasis (P 3 lymph nodes metastasis was significantly lower than that in the group of non-lymph nodes metastasis (P 3 lymph nodes metastasis was significantly lower than that in the group of ≤ 3 lymph nodes metastasis (P 3 lymph nodes metastasis was significantly higher than that in the group of non-lymph nodes metastasis (P 3 lymph nodes metastasis was significantly higher than that in the group of ≤ 3 lymph nodes metastasis (PConclusion: High expression of miR-143, miR-9, miR-196a, MALAT1 and low expression of miR-455 are related to the degree of lymph node metastasis of Her-2-positive BC patients, indicating poor prognosis. Down-regulation of miR-455 and up-regulation of miR-143 and MALAT1 can promote the cell proliferation and invasion of Her-2-positive BC. |
