| Abstract | Changes in alternative splicing have been linked to cancer development. We hypothesized that changes occurring in tumor tissue can also be detected in the peripheral blood of cancer patients leading to discovery of blood biomarkers of breast cancer. Alternative splicing profiles of 94 genes were examined in cancerous breast tissue. Discriminating splice variants were analyzed in the peripheral blood of early stage (BCI/II) (stage I–II; n = 26), neoadjuvant receiving locally advanced breast cancer patients (LABC) (stage IIb–IIIa, b; n = 10) and healthy volunteers (n = 26) using qRT-PCR analysis. Changes in marker expression during neoadjuvant therapy were analyzed at 15 timepoints. High expression of REST-N50, the alternatively spliced variant of REST, was detected in the blood of LABC patients but not in BCI/II and healthy controls (p = 0.0032 and p = 0.0029, respectively). Expression levels of DOPEY1v2, the alternative splice variant of DOPEY1, in the blood could differentiate cancer from healthy controls (p = 0.024) and discriminate between patient groups (BCI/II vs LABC, p = 0.002). Positive response to neoadjuvant therapy of REST-N50-positive LABC patients correlated with a decrease in REST-N50 levels (p < 0.0001). Assessment of REST-N50 and DOPEY1v2 may prove useful in diagnostic blood tests of breast cancer. REST-N50 shows a high potential as a blood biomarker for evaluating the effectiveness of therapy in the neoadjuvant setting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
