To explore the relationship between the prolactinoma-related microRNAs (miRNA) and the development, growth and hormone secretion of prolactinoma.
The technique of Solexa sequencing was employed to analyze the differential expressions of prolactinoma and normal anterior pituitary gland samples. And the stem-loop real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was utilized for confirmation.
According to the differentially expressed profiles of miRNAs, 4 miRNAs were down-regulated (miR-130a, miR-199b-3p, miR-200b, miR-125b, P < 0.05) and 6 miRNAs up-regulated (miR-342-3p, miR-432, miR-23b, miR-493, miR-493(), miR-664(), P < 0.05). The expression levels of miR-493(*) and miR-432 had a significant positive correlation with the serum level of prolactin (r = 0.47, P < 0.05; r = 0.528, P < 0.01) while miR-342-3p a significantly positive correlation with the invasiveness (r = 0.402, P < 0.05).
miRNAs are differentially expressed between normal anterior pituitary gland and prolactinomas, between invasive and localized prolactinomas and among different hormone secretion levels. It suggests that miRNAs may be involved in the physiological process of development, growth and hormone secretion of prolactinoma.
探讨泌乳素瘤相关微小RNA(miRNA)与泌乳素瘤的发生、生长及激素分泌之间的关系。
采用Solexa测序技术分析泌乳素瘤与正常垂体前叶样本的差异表达情况,并利用茎环实时聚合酶链反应(PCR)进行验证。
根据miRNA的差异表达谱,4种miRNA表达下调(miR-130a、miR-199b-3p、miR-200b、miR-125b,P<0.05),6种miRNA表达上调(miR-342-3p、miR-432、miR-23b、miR-493、miR-493*、miR-664*,P<0.05)。miR-493*和miR-432的表达水平与血清泌乳素水平呈显著正相关(r=0.47,P<0.05;r=0.528,P<0.01),而miR-342-3p与侵袭性呈显著正相关(r=0.402,P<0.05)。
miRNA在正常垂体前叶与泌乳素瘤之间、侵袭性与局限性泌乳素瘤之间以及不同激素分泌水平之间存在差异表达。这表明miRNA可能参与了泌乳素瘤发生、生长及激素分泌的生理过程。
