Facile whole mitochondrial genome resequencing from nipple aspirate fluid using MitoChip v2.0

Abstract: Background: Mutations in the mitochondrial genome (mtgenome) have been associated with many disorders, including breast cancer. Nipple aspirate fluid (NAF) from symptomatic women could potentially serve as a minimally invasive sample for breast cancer screening by detecting somatic mutations in this biofluid. This study is aimed at 1) demonstrating the feasibility of NAF recovery from symptomatic women, 2) examining the feasibility of sequencing the entire mitochondrial genome from NAF samples, 3) cross valida… Show more

“…The presence of mtDNA mutations in stem cells indicates that mutations actually develop prior to development of colon cancer, though it is yet to be established whether these mutations actually cause malignancy. Following the mtDNA analysis in colon cancer (26), numerous somatic mtDNA sequence variants using a whole genome approach were reported in various cancers including bladder (36), breast(62, 63), esophagus (62), head and neck (6466), leukemia (47), lung (67), and thyroid cancers (refs. 6870; Table 2).…”

“…In other work, NAF was successfully retrieved from 82% of the participants with 96% yielding fluid from both breasts [20]. Given that the alterations displayed by the mtGenome demonstrate a field effect in breast tissue, there is merit in assessing NAF or DL recovered from women with both DCIS and IBC histopathologies.…”

“…This applies to other abnormal breast histopathologies as well, such as atypical ductal hyperplasia. Both NAF and DL have been investigated as a source of biomarkers and for biological indications of breast cancer [16, 2031]. Given the high copy number of the mtGenome and its rapid mutation rate, sequence analysis of the D-loop may identify mutations associated with these lesions in glandular organ-associated biofluids which are low in both volume and cellularity.…”

“…Detection of mtDNA alterations offers the advantage of allowing low invasive methods, including analysis in urine for bladder cancer or saliva for head and neck cancers [70]. Also, screening tools such as MitoChip oligonucleotide arrays [175] make it possible to screen for many factors at the same time.…”
