Expression of miRNA-193a and its significance in pulmonary adenocarcinoma / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of the quantitative detection of serum miRNA-193a in pulmonary adenocarcinoma.Methods 40 pulmonary adenocarcinoma patients and 40 healthy people were recruited to receive quantitative detection of serum miRNA-193a and CEA.And then the relationship between the concentration of miRNA-193a and CEA was analyze by spearman correlation analysis.12 of the 40 patients underwent operation and the different levels of miRNA-193a expression among pulmonary adenocarcinoma tissues,adjacent tissues and normal tissues was detected by qRT-PCR.The different miRNA-193a levels were compared among groups of by t-test.The diagnostic performance of miRNA-193a was evaluated with receiver operating characteristic curves(ROC) and the area under the curve (AUC) and its 95%CI were calculated.Results The relative expressions of miRNA-193a in pulmonary adenocarcinoma tissues,adjacent tissues and normal tissues were 1.07±0.16;0.80±0.10;0.11±0.07.miRNA-193a expression in pulmonary adenocarcinoma tissues was significantly lower than that in other two groups(P<0.05).The expression of serum miRNA-193a in pulmonary adenocarcinoma group was significantly lower than that in healthy group(P<0.05).There was no correlation between miRNA-193a and CEA(r=0.079,P=0.618).The detection of miRNA-193a yielded a ROC AUC of 0.829(0.741-0.917) in discriminating pulmonary adenocarcinoma from healthy group.Conclusion The relative expression of miRNA-193a in pulmonary adenocarcinoma was significantly lower than that in healthy controls no matter in tissue or serum,serum miRNA-193a may prove to be a non-invasive biomarker for the auxiliary diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma.
