Analysis of the miRNA expression identified 11 miRNAs that were differentially expressed, including 7 down-regulated (miR-200c, miR-205, miR-203, miR-141, miR-34a, miR-183, and miR-375) and 4 up-regulated miRNAs (miR-146a, miR-138, miR-125b1 and miR-100), in aggressive cell lines when compared to normal and less aggressive cell lines. Transient overexpression of miR-200c, miR-205, and miR-375 in MDA-MB-231 cells led to the inhibition of cell migration and invasion. The integrated analysis of miRNA and mRNA expression identified 35 known and novel target genes of miR-200c, miR-205, and mir-375, including CFL2, LAMC1, TIMP2, ZEB1, CDH11, PRKCA, PTPRJ, PTPRM, LDHB, and SEC23A. Surprisingly, the majority of these genes (27 genes) were target genes of miR-200c, suggesting that it plays a more important role in regulating the aggressiveness of breast cancer cells. We characterized one of the target genes of miR-200c, CFL2, and demonstrated that CFL2 is overexpressed in aggressive breast cancer cell lines and can be significantly down-regulated by exogenous miR-200c. Tissue microarray analysis further revealed that CFL2 expression in primary breast cancer tissue correlated with tumor grade. To our knowledge, this study is the first systematic screening of functional miRNA target genes in aggressive breast cancer cells. The results obtained from this study may improve our understanding of the role of these candidate miRNAs and their target genes in relation to breast cancer aggressiveness and ultimately lead to the identification of novel biomarkers associated with prognosis.

The data was quantile-normalized, summarized (median polish), and log2-transformed. ID_REF = VALUE = signal intensities The cRNA was synthesized using Ambion WT Expression Kit and labeled using Affymetix GeneChip WT Terminal Labeling Kit. The array hybridization followed the standard affymetrix protocols. miRNA mimic was transfected into MDA-MB-231 cells using Lipofectamine™ 2000 reagent (Invitrogen). Breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231was cultured in DMEM media with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS). Total RNA was extracted using Trizol. The Arrays were then washed using Affymetrix fluidics stations, and scanned using the Gene Chip Scanner 3000.
