Moonlight human ribosomal protein L13a downregulation is associated with p53 and HER2/neu expression in breast cancer.
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among females worldwide. Recent studies have shown extra-ribosomal roles of the moonlight ribosomal proteins in the development of human cancers. Accurate quantification of the gene expression level is based on the selection of the reference genes whose expression is independent of cancer properties and patient's characteristics. The aim of this study was the evaluation of the expression level of a previously proposed ribosomal protein as moonlight, L13a (RPL13A), in breast cancer samples and their adjacent tissues. Its association with genes of known roles in developing cancers was also investigated. Traditionally used housekeeping genes were selected and their expression was analyzed in 80 surgically excised breast tissue specimens (40 tumors and 40 tumor-adjacent tissues) by applying three software tools including GeNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper to select the most stable reference genes. Then, mRNA expression levels of RPL13A and p53 were evaluated. Additionally, protein expression levels of RPL13A were measured. It was demonstrated that PUM1 and ACTB are the most reliable reference genes and RPL13A is the least stable gene. There was a positive correlation between RPL13A and p53 mRNA expression levels in all the tumor samples. Moreover, significant downregulation of RPL13A expression levels was revealed in HER2+ tumor samples compared to HER2- ones. There was also a marked decrease in p53 mRNA expression levels in HER2+ tumor subtypes. Our results suggest that there is a probable relationship between RPL13A decreased expression with p53 and HER2/neu expression in the breast cancer.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Applied Biomedicine promotes translation of basic biomedical research into clinical investigation, conversion of clinical evidence into practice in all medical fields, and publication of new ideas for conquering human health problems across disciplines.
Providing a unique perspective, this international journal publishes peer-reviewed original papers and reviews offering a sensible transfer of basic research to applied clinical medicine. Journal of Applied Biomedicine covers the latest developments in various fields of biomedicine with special attention to cardiology and cardiovascular diseases, genetics, immunology, environmental health, toxicology, neurology and oncology as well as multidisciplinary studies. The views of experts on current advances in nanotechnology and molecular/cell biology will be also considered for publication as long as they have a direct clinical impact on human health. The journal does not accept basic science research or research without significant clinical implications. Manuscripts with innovative ideas and approaches that bridge different fields and show clear perspectives for clinical applications are considered with top priority.
