Potential role of hsa_circ_0003098 circular RNA in breast cancer and its association with demographic factors and lymph node metastasis

Authors

Abstract:

Background and Objectives: A growing amount of evidence has revealed that circular RNAs (circRNAs), covalently closed single-stranded non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), play significant roles in initiation and progression of breast cancer (BC) through different mechanisms.  This study aims to investigate the hsa_circ_0003098 expression and its potential roles in BC, as well as the circRNA/miRNA/mRNA crosstalk in these contexts. Materials and Methods: Real-time PCR (RT-PCR) was used to assess the expression of hsa_circ_0003098 in the breast tumors compared with adjacent normal tissues. Its association with different demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of BC patients was assessed by statistical analysis. Finally, we used bioinformatic approaches to uncover the potential circRNA/miRNA/mRNA axes using some databases and software. Results: Our results revealed that hsa_circ_0003098 expression is significantly upregulated in BC tumors compared with the adjacent normal tissues. Moreover, hsa_circ_0003098 over-expression is significantly associated with lymph node metastasis and hair dye use. Next, we found that this circRNA can regulate key mRNAs and miRNAs in the ceRNA network. conclusion: It is suggested that hsa_circ_0006960, which is significantly up-expressed in breast tumors and associated with lymph node metastasis, could play key roles in the physiopathology of breast cancer through sponging off the miRNAs involved in hsa_circ_0003098/miRNAs/mRNAs network.

Possible Association of CD68 Positive Macrophages with Some other Prognostic Factors (ki67, ER, PR, Her2 neu) in Primary Breast Cancer and Axillary Lymph Node Metastasis

Background: Breast cancer is formed of a neoplastic component (epithelial) and a non-neoplastic component (stroma). Stromal- stromal and tumor- stromal interactions have been shown in the regulation of cancer cell growth, metastatic capacity and outcome of treatment. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are a component of tumor stroma reactionsand are considered as an important ...

Factors influencing axillary lymph node metastasis in invasive breast cancer.

PURPOSE To explore the relationship between auxiliary lymph node metastasis and clinical features, and to identify the factors that affect metastasis occurrence. METHODS A total of 164 cases of primary breast cancer were selected to investigate features such as age, concomitant chronic disease and pathologic diagnosis. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of the estrogen rec...

Role of pathologic prognostic factors in breast cancer patients with isolated bone metastasis and relationship between SUVmax and prognostic factors

Introduction: 18F-FDG PET/CT provides very effective results in detecting metastases of breast cancer. In our study, we investigated the relationship between maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) and prognostic pathologic factors in breast cancer cases with isolated bone metastasis and whether there was any difference in terms of prognostic pathologic factors betwee...
