What We Learned
  • A miRNA signature distinguishing gastric cancer from normal stomach epithelium was identified. 
  • 30 miRNAs were significantly inversely correlated with TTP whereas 28 miRNAs were significantly positively correlated with TTP of
    82 cancer patients (P<0.05). 
  • Prominent among the upregulated miRNAs associated with chemosensitivity were miRNAs known to regulate apoptosis, including let-7g, miR-342, miR-16, miR-181, miR-1, and miR-34. 
  • When this 58-miRNA predictor was applied to a separate set of pre- and post-treatment tumor samples from the 8 clinical responders, all of the 8 pre-treatment samples were correctly predicted as low-risk, whereas samples from the post-treatment tumors that
    developed chemoresistance were predicted to be in the high-risk category by the 58 miRNA signature, suggesting that
    selection for the expression of these miRNAs occurred as chemoresistance arose.
What We Did
  • A classification model has been built using Trainset. The selected probes were:
    1. 1248-mir-148
    2. 10677-mir-17
    3. 11627-u6
  • The model has been tested using Testset.
