Because microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate gene expression on multiple levels, their role in chemoresistance development is reasonably certain. In our previous study, miR-122-5p and miR-142-5p were identified as diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive biomarkers for primary and metastatic rectal cancer. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether these miRNAs can also reflect the disease course of colon cancer (CC) patients. Further, we focused on a deeper understanding of their involvement in 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) chemoresistance development. The expression analysis of both miRNAs was analysed in repeated whole plasma samplings (n=3, approximately every 6 months) of CC patients (n=49) by RT-qPCR. Expression levels of both miRNAs were determined in the 5-FU sensitive and resistant CC cell lines. From RNA-seq profiles of both sensitive and 5-FU resistant DLD-1 cell lines, the expression levels of miR-122-5p and miR-142-5p validated target genes were detected and compared. Significant differences in the expression levels of both miRNAs between T0 and T1 or T2 samplings were observed. Further, an association between the occurrence of relapse and miR-122-5p expression levels was noticed. Patients who did not relapse had higher expression of miR-122-5p at T1 (p=0.01; 3.16-fold change) and T2 (p=0.04; 2.79-fold change) samplings in comparison with T0 sampling. Out of all miR-122-5p validated targets (n=102), 25 genes were significantly differentially expressed between sensitive and 5-FU-resistant cell lines. Our data suggest that miR-122-5p may represent a predictive marker of tumour relapse in CC patients. In vitro data suggests that this aspect may be linked to the potential therapeutic targets of miR-122-5p related to 5-FU-based chemoresistance. However, deeper mechanistic studies are still needed for progress toward personalized medicine.","PeriodicalId":18889,"journal":{"name":"Mutagenesis","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253259","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, epigenetic marks, including DNA methylation, are thought to be key mechanisms through which environmental exposures programme later-life health. Adequate maternal folate status before and during pregnancy is essential in the protection against neural tube defects, but data are emerging that suggest early-life folate exposures may also influence neurocognitive outcomes in childhood and, potentially, thereafter. Since folate is key to the supply of methyl donors for DNA methylation, we hypothesize that DNA methylation may be a mediating mechanism through which maternal folate influences neurocognitive outcomes. Using bisulphite sequencing, we measured DNA methylation of five genes (Art3, Rsp16, Tspo, Wnt16, and Pcdhb6) in the brain tissue of adult offspring of dams who were depleted of folate (n = 5, 0.4 mg folic acid/kg diet) during pregnancy (~19-21 days) and lactation (mean 22 days) compared with controls (n = 6, 2 mg folic acid/kg diet). Genes were selected as methylation of their promoters had previously been found to be altered by maternal folate intake in mice and humans across the life course, and because they have potential associations with neurocognitive outcomes. Maternal folate depletion was significantly associated with Art3 gene hypomethylation in subcortical brain tissue of adult mice at 28 weeks of age (mean decrease 6.2%, P = .03). For the other genes, no statistically significant differences were found between folate depleted and control groups. Given its association with neurocognitive outcomes, we suggest Art3 warrants further study in the context of lifecourse brain health.
