Abstract

Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women in developing countries, including India. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) are gaining importance in cancer biology because of their involvement in various cellular processes. The present study aimed to profile miRNA expression pattern in cervical cancer, identify their target genes, and understand their role in carcinogenesis. Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection statuses in samples were assessed by heminested polymerase chain reaction followed by direct DNA sequencing. Next-generation sequencing and miRNA microarray were used for miRNA profiling in cervical cancer cell lines and tissue samples, respectively. MicroRNA signature was validated by quantitative real-time PCR, and biological significance was elucidated using various in silico analyses. Cervical cancer tissues samples were mostly infected by HPV type 16 (93%). MicroRNA profiling showed that the pattern of miRNA expression differed with respect to HPV positivity in cervical cancer cell lines. However, target and pathway analyses indicated identical involvement of these significantly deregulated miRNAs in HPV-positive cervical cancer cell lines irrespective of type of HPV infected. Microarray profiling identified a...Continue Reading
