Abstract

Emerging evidence shows that microRNAs (miR) are involved in the pathogenesis of a variety of cancers, including prostate carcinoma (PCa). Little information is available regarding miR expression levels in lymph node metastasis of prostate cancer or the potential of miRs as prognostic markers in this disease. Therefore, we analyzed the global expression of miRs in benign, hyperplastic prostate tissue (BPH), primary PCa of a high risk group of PCa patients, and corresponding metastatic tissues by microarray analysis. Consistent with the proposal that some miRs are oncomirs, we found aberrant expression of several miRs, including the downregulation of miR‐221, in PCa metastasis. Downregulation of miR‐221 was negatively correlated with the expression of the proto‐oncogen c‐kit in primary carcinoma. In a large study cohort, the prostate‐specific oncomir miR‐221 was progressively downregulated in aggressive forms of PCa. Downregulation of miR‐221 was associated with clinicopathological parameters, including the Gleason score and the clinical recurrence during follow up. Kaplan–Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazard models showed that miR‐221 downregulation was linked to tumor progression and recurrence in a high risk prostate cancer cohort. Our results showed that progressive miR‐221 downregulation hallmarks metastasis and presents a novel prognostic marker in high risk PCa. This suggests that miR‐221 has potential as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target in PCa.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
