The predictive effect of overexpressed miR-34a on good survival of cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) is a potential prognostic factor for survival in patients with several types of cancer according to previous clinical researches. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarize the significance of increased miR-34a expression in the prognosis of patients' overall survival. MATERIALS AND METHODS The present systematic review and meta-analysis of 15 researches included 2,597 patients. Overexpression of miR-34a may predict good overall survival ([OS], HR =0.76, 95% confidence interval: 0.55-1.06, P=0.105), but the effect was not significant enough. Subgroup analysis results showed miR-34a was an ideal predictor for digestive system cancer (OS, HR =0.50, 95% confidence interval: 0.25-0.99, P=0.048). The predictive effects of elevated expression of miR-34a on the OS of untreated and treated patients were not of obvious differences. CONCLUSION This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that miR-34a has a predictive effect on overall survival of patients with digestive system cancer.

متن کاملRole of Frizzled receptor expression on patients’ survival with gastrointestinal cancers: A systematic review with meta-analysis
Background: Frizzled receptors (FZD) play a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of a wide array of cancers. Dysregulated expression of FZD receptors is correlated with higher metastasis and invasive potential, as well as short survival in many malignancies. In this meta-analysis, we aimed to verify the prognostic value of FZD receptor expression on patients’ survival with different t...

Objective(s): microRNAs are small non-coding molecules that regulate gene expression in various biological processes. T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a malignancy accompanied with genetic aberrations and accounts for 20% of children’s and adult’s ALL. Notch signaling pathway dysregulation occurs in 60% of T-ALL cases. In the present study, we aimed to de...
