摘要
目的 :检测胰腺癌患者血浆中微RNA(micro RNA,miRNA)的表达情况,并探讨其临床意义。方法 :收集43例胰腺癌患者(病例组)和21例正常健康人群(对照组)的血浆标本,采用实时荧光定量PCR法检测血浆样本中miRNA-21、miRNA-155和miRNA-483-3p的表达水平,并比较2组miRNA表达水平的差异及与临床病理特征之间的相关性。结果:病例组中miRNA-21、miRNA-483-3p和miRNA-155的表达水平分别为627.69±125.66、18.93±10.82和20.76±11.87,高于对照组的379.39±149.21、6.43±7.28和7.47±6.92,差异均具有统计学意义(P值均<0.001)。miRNA-21表达水平与肿瘤分期(P=0.001)以及是否发生肝脏转移(P<0.001)具有相关性。miRNA-21、miRNA-155、miRNA-483-3p和糖类抗原19-9(carbohydrate antigen 19-9,CA19-9)的受试者工作特征(receiver operating characteristic,ROC)曲线下面积分别为0.834、0.837、0.843和0.828,敏感度分别为88.4%、97.7%、83.7%和86.0%,特异度分别为85.7%、61.9%、71.4%和62.1%。在未行手术切除组29例患者中,miR NA21高表达组患者的中位总生存期为3.4个月,明显短于低表达组的15.4个月(P=0.001),而miR NA-155和miR NA-483-3p高表达组与低表达组患者的中位生存时间无明显差异,分别为4.5个月和7.3个月以及6.2个月和5.1个月。结论 :miRNA也许能成为胰腺癌的一种新的、无创的诊断标志物,并可能预测胰腺癌患者的预后。
Objective: To examine the levels of plasma microRNAs (miRNAs) in patients with pancreatic cancer, and to explore its clinical significance.Methods: The plasma samples from 43 patients with pancreatic cancer (study group) and 21 healthy volunteers (control group) were collected. Plasma miRNA-21, miRNA-155and miRNA-483-3p levels were detected using real-time fluorogenic quantitative PCR, and the correlation between miRNA levels and clinical features was evaluated.Results: The relative expression levels of plasma miRNA-21, miRNA-483-3p and miRNA-155 of patients with pancreatic cancer were 627.69±125.66, 18.93±10.82 and 20.76_+11.87, respectively, which were higher than those of the healthy volunteers (379.39±149.21, 6.43± 7.28 and 7.47±6.92, respectively; all P 〈 0.001). The plasma miRNA-21 level was associated with clinical stage of pancreatic cancer (P = 0.001) and liver metastasis (P 〈 0.001). The areas under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of miRNA-21, miRNA-155, miRNA- 483-3p and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) were 0.834, 0.837, 0.843 and 0.828, respectively, with the sensitivities of 88.4%, 97.7%, 83.7% and 86.0%, respectively and the specificities of 85.7%, 61.9%, 71.4% and 62.1%, respectively. Moreover, in 29 pancreatic cancer patients not receiving suigical operation, the median survival time of patients with high-expression of miRNA-21 was significantly shorterned as compared with that of the patients with low-expression of miRNA-21 (3.4 vs 15.4 months, P = 0.001). The median survival time of patients with high- and low-expressions of miRNA-155 was not significanly different (4.5 vs 6.2 months, P 〉 0.05), which was also not significanly different between the high- and low-expressions of miRNA-483-3p (7.3 vs 5.1 , P 〉 0.05).Conclusion: miRNAs may become a new biomarker in diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, and it also may be used to predict the prognosis.
