MicroRNA expression profiling of male breast cancer
Breast Cancer Research, 08/13/2009

cancer gene targets. Methods Paraffin-blocks were obtained from 28 male pts including 23 breast cancers and 5 cases of male gynecomastia, and 10 female ductal breast carcinomas. RNA harvested was hybridized to miRNA microarrays (~1100 miRNA probes, including 326 human and ... gene targets (HOXD10 and VEGF) was performed in a small series of male breast carcinoma and gynecomastia samples. Results A male breast cancer miRNA signature composed by a large portion of under-expressed miRNAs was identified. 17 miRNAs with increased expression ... gynecomastia. Among the miRNAs some had well characterized cancer development association and some showed de-regulation in cancer specimens similar to 1 previously observed in the published signatures of female breast cancer.
