Integrative microRNA and gene expression analysis identifies new epigenetically regulated microRNAs mediating taxane resistance in ovarian cancer
Taxane is a family of front-line chemotherapeutic agents against ovarian cancer (OC). The therapeutic efficacy is frequently counteracted by the development of chemoresistance, leading to high rates of relapse in OC patients. The role(s) of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer chemoresistance had been suppo...

description | Taxane is a family of front-line chemotherapeutic agents against ovarian cancer (OC). The therapeutic efficacy is frequently counteracted by the development of chemoresistance, leading to high rates of relapse in OC patients. The role(s) of microRNAs (miRNAs) in cancer chemoresistance had been supported by many evidences Epigenetic regulation by miRNAs has been reported to influence cancer development and response to therapeutics, however, their role in OC resistance to paclitaxel (PTX) is unclear. Here, we conducted miRNA profiling in the responsive and PTX-resistant OC cell lines before and after treatment with epigenetic modulators. We reveal 157 miRNAs to be downregulated in the PTX-resistant cells compared to parental controls. The expression of five miRNAs (miRNA-7-5p, -204-3p, -501-5p, -3652 and -4286) was restored after epigenetic modulation, which was further confirmed by qPCR. In silico analysis of the signaling pathways targeted by the selected miRNAs identified the PI3K-AKT pathway as the primary target. Subsequent cDNA array analysis confirmed multiple PI3K-AKT pathway members such as AKT2, PIK3R3, CDKN1A, CCND2 and FGF2 to be upregulated in PTX-resistant cells. STRING analysis showed the deregulated genes in PTX-resistant cells to be primarily involved in cell cycle progression and survival. Thus, high throughput miRNA and cDNA profiling coupled with pathway analysis and data mining provide evidence for epigenetically regulated miRNAs-induced modulation of signaling pathways in PTX resistant OC cells. It paves the way to more in-depth mechanistic studies and new therapeutic strategies to combat chemoresistance. |
