摘要: 目的  探讨微小RNA-148a(miR-148a)在非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)中的表达及其与临床病理特征的关系,分析其在临床预后中的作用。方法  采用聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)法检测48例NSCLC组织miR-148a表达水平,以miR-148a表达中位值为界,将48例患者分为两组,即高表达组和低表达组;分析miR-148a表达与患者临床病理特征的关系,采用KaplanMeier法估计生存率并进行单因素分析,Log-rank检验分析miR-148a表达与患者预后的关系。结果  miR-148a在NSCLC癌组织的表达量低于癌旁组织,两组差异具有统计学意义(1.052 ± 0.659∶1.397 ± 0.667,t=2.549,P=0.013),其表达与肿瘤大小(χ2=4.594,P=0.030)、淋巴结转移(χ2=5.486,P=0.019)、临床分期(χ2=4.090,P=0.043)有关,而与年龄(χ2=0.354,P=0.551)、性别(χ2=2.277,P=0.131)、组织学类型(χ2=0.403,P=0.525)、吸烟史(χ2=0.444,P=0.505)无关。KaplanMeier法分析显示,miR148a低表达患者中位生存期为23.9个月,高表达组患者中位生存期为38.7个月,差异有统计学意义(χ2=4.941,P=0.026),但是中位无疾病进展生存期分别为21.6个月、29.4个月,差异无统计学意义(χ2=2.168,P=0.141)。结论  miR148a在NSCLC中低表达,miR148a低表达与NSCLC患者恶性病理特征和较差的临床预后密切相关。

Abstract: Objective  To investigate the expressions of microRNA-148a (miR-148a) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues and the relationships with clinicopathologic features, to analyze the roles of miR-148a in evaluating prognosis. MethodsExpression levels of miR-148a in 48 pairs of NSCLC and adjacent non-tumor tissues were detected by quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR). The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the median value of miR-148a. The relationships between the expression levels of miR148a and clinicopathological features were analyzed. The survival rate was estimated by KaplanMeier method, and single factor analysis was performed. The relationship between the expression level of miR-148a and prognosis was analyzed by Logrank test. Results  miR-148a expression levels were significant down-regulated in NSCLC tissues compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues (1.052 ± 0.659 vs. 1.397 ± 0.667, t=2.549, P=0.013). miR-148a expression level was correlated with tumor size (χ2=4.594, P=0.030), lymph nodes metastasis (χ2=5.486, P=0.019) and clinical stage (χ2=4.090, P=0.043), while it was not correlated with age (χ2=0.354, P=0.551), gender (χ2=2.277, P=0.131), histological type (χ2=0.403, P=0.525) and smoking (χ2=0.444, P=0.505). KaplanMeier analysis revealed a significant correlation between low miR148a expression level and poor overall survival (23.9 months vs. 38.7 months, χ2=4.941, P=0.026), and no significant correlation with progressionfree survival (21.6 months vs. 29.4 months, χ2=2.168, P=0.141). Conclusion  Down-regulation of miR-148a is correlated with worse clinicopathological features, which serves an independent marker for poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC.
