Many studies informed that microRNAs (miRNAs) could function as diagnostic and prognostic indicators in several cancers. The prognostic value of miR-454 in hepatocellular carcinoma has not been investigated.
A total of 265 patients with HCC were obtained in this retrospective study between June 2009 and July 2014. qPCR was conducted to evaluate the expressed amount of the miR-454. The Kaplan-Meier method was conducted to explore the survival status of HCC patients. The log-rank test was used to analyze differences in survival rates.
The expression of miR-454 was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues compared with adjacent non-cancerous tissues (p < 0.001). High levels of miR-454 in HCC tissues were correlated with a low 5-year overall survival (OS) (p < 0.001). Moreover, patients with high miR-454 expression had decreased disease-free survival (DFS) (p < 0.001). Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that up-regulation of miR-454 was an independent prognostic factor for both 5-year OS (p = 0.013) and 5-year DFS (p = 0.008).
We firstly prove that expression of miR-454 may be a novel and valuable prognostic factor in HCC.
许多研究表明,微小RNA(miRNA)可作为多种癌症的诊断和预后指标。miR-454在肝细胞癌中的预后价值尚未得到研究。
本回顾性研究共纳入2009年6月至2014年7月期间的265例肝细胞癌患者。采用qPCR检测miR-454的表达量。采用Kaplan-Meier法探讨肝细胞癌患者的生存状况。采用对数秩检验分析生存率的差异。
与癌旁非癌组织相比,miR-454在肝细胞癌组织中的表达显著上调(p<0.001)。肝细胞癌组织中miR-454高水平与5年总生存率(OS)低相关(p<0.001)。此外,miR-454高表达患者的无病生存期(DFS)降低(p<0.001)。此外,多因素分析显示,miR-454上调是5年OS(p=0.013)和5年DFS(p=0.008)的独立预后因素。
我们首次证明,miR-454的表达可能是肝细胞癌一种新的有价值的预后因素。
