Objective To analyze the differential expression of miR-373* and miR-200c in breast cancer stem cells (BCSCs) and breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Methods Total RNA of BCSCs and MCF-7 cells were extracted with Trizol. MicroRNA (miRNA) expression was detected by real-time PCR. The potential target genes of miRNAs that exhibited significant differential expression were predicted using software PicTar
miRanda
and Targetscan. Results Compared with those in MCF-7 cells
the expression levels of miR-373* and miR-200c were about 7 times higher (fold change=6.684±0.548) and about 3 times lower (fold change=0.345±0.031)
respectively
in BCSCs. Prediction software analysis indicated that miR-373* had potential target sites in TP53INP2
CASP8
EIF4A1 and EEF1A1
and miR-200c had potential target sites in TCF2
TDE2
SYVN1
and some RAS oncogene family members. Conclusion In comparison with MCF-7 cells
