    <p><b>A.</b> qRT-PCR analysis of ESR1 and HER2 transcripts and miR-4728-3p among a panel of 38 breast cancer tumors (19 HER2+, 19 HER2-). Calibrated Normalized Relative Quantity (CNRQ) of miR-4728-3p (left) and HER2 (right) is plotted against expression levels of ESR1. Tumors classified as HER2+ by ISH are shown in red, HER2- in grey. Expression was normalized to a panel of reference genes. For details see text and material and methods. <b>B.</b> Luciferase assay in BT-474 with ESR1 3′UTR constructs carrying either wild type target site of miR-4728-3p internal seed (WT) or mutated internal seed site (MUT). Firefly luciferase activity was normalized against Renilla luciferase. Reporter activity is given as % of WT in respective experiment. Repression of WT ESR1 construct by endogenous miR-4728-3p (left) is alleviated by an antisense oligo (AS) against endogenous miRNA (right) but not by a non-targeting control (middle). <b>C.</b> Western blot (left) and protein quantification (right) of ESR1 in MCF7. The two main isoforms of ESR1 (47 and 66 kDa), plotted as percentage of control signal of matching size, are down regulated upon transfection of miR-4728-3p mimics. Levels of HER2, (p)MAPK and (p)AKT remain largely unchanged. <b>D.</b> MCF7 cells were transfected with indicated concentrations of miR-4728-3p mimic. ESR1 levels show a concentration-dependent down-regulation that is most pronounced at highest tested concentration (25 nM). <b>E.</b> Western blot (left) and protein quantification (right) of ESR1 in BT474. ESR1 is up regulated when blocking endogenous miR-4728-3p with AS-oligonucleotides, while pMAPK and pAKT remain largely unchanged. <b>F.</b> Western blot (left) and protein quantification (right) of ESR1 in HCC1954 cells. ESR1 isoform of 47 kDa is up regulated under miR-4728-3p blocking. The main 66 kDa isoform is not detectable in this ER- cell line. Signals were quantified with ImageJ and normalized to total protein by Coomassie stain. Tubulin was used as a loading control. Asterisks denote p-values of <0.05 (*), and <0.005 (**) in Student′s t-test.</p

    Breast cancer remains one of the most common malignancies in female cancer patients. The rapid and accurate diagnosis of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status is indispensable for breast cancer patients. The pre-miR-4728 (mir-4728) is encoded within an intron of the HER2 gene. We showed here that mir-4728 was the most significantly upregulated pre-miRNA in HER2-positive breast cancer patients (fold-change: 4.37), and it could serve as a strong diagnostic factor for the HER2 status in breast cancer patients (p < 0.0001). Moreover, mir-4728 was positively correlated with tumor recurrence and appeared to be a critical independent risk factor of tumor recurrence in patients with high tumor burden (HR: 7.558, 95% CI:1.842-31.006, p = 0.005). Remarkably, HER2-positive patients with higher mir-4728 expression levels had better drug responses to targeted therapies. Furthermore, estrogen receptor (ESR), the predictive marker for endocrine therapies, was found to be the direct target of miR-4728-3p. Taken together, our results supported the potential role of mir-4728 in the diagnosis of HER2 status and the prognostic assessment of HER2-positive patients in response to targeted therapies.</p
