Changes of microRNAs-192, 196a and 203 correlate with Barrett's esophagus diagnosis and its progression compared to normal healthy individuals

Abstract: BackgroundBarrett's esophagus (BE) is a disease with a rising prevalence in western countries probably due to the unhealthy lifestyle. In significant number of cases it develops to esophageal adenocarcinoma. Two decades ago, important gene regulators (microRNAs) were discovered and their attendance in the process of malignant transformation was demonstrated (e.g. miR-192, 196a, 203). Our aim was to select the patients with the increased risk of malignant transformation before the cancer develops.Methods71 pati… Show more

“…We additionally showed that miR-192 can suppress expression of the bile acid and anticancer drug transporter OATP1B3 and the bile acid transporter OST␣/␤ in a FXR-dependent manner. It remains unclear whether restoration of miR-192 expression and the consequently diminished expression of FXR target genes would be beneficial for cancer patients, especially considering that miR-192 has been shown to possibly act as an oncogenic miRNA by downregulation of Smad interacting protein 1 in other inflammation-related cancers (21,26,35). Therefore, it can be speculated that diminished expression of the transport protein OST␣/OST␤, a heterodimer-forming bile acid transporter important for the excretion of bile acids from hepatocytes and enterocytes, may be a mechanism of intracellular bile acid accumulation promoting inflammation and/or cancer development in certain cases.…”

“…An important role of miR-192 targeting ZEB2 mRNA has also been found in HCC (13). In contrast, certain forms of cancer, such as cholangiocarcinoma and esophageal cancer, show increased miR-192 expression during carcinogenesis (21,26).…”

“…Additional studies have indicated that 70% of patients already present with tumor metastases when clinical symptoms first appeared, and with a cervical lymph node metastatic rate of 73.0% to 74.5% [7]. In significant number of cases Barrett's esophagus develops to esophageal adenocarcinoma [8]. …”
