Prognostic significance of serum miR-193b in colorectal cancer

چکیده
Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have been demonstrated to be potential diagnostic and prognostic markers for many types of cancers including colorectal cancer (CRC). The aim of current study was to determine the clinical significance of serum miR-193b in CRC. The expression of serum miR-193b in CRC patients and healthy controls was detected by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Then the value of serum miR-193b as marker for CRC prognosis was evaluated. Our results showed that the expression levels of serum miR-193b were significantly reduced in CRC patients compared to healthy volunteers. Serum miR-193b discriminated CRC patients from healthy subjects with high accuracy. In addition, serum miR-193b levels were increased in CRC patients who received surgery treatment. Low serum miR-193b was associated with TNM stage, grade and lymph node metastasis. The overall/disease free survival time of patients with low serum miR-193b expression was significantly shorter compared to those with high serum miR-193b expression. Moreover, multivariate analysis showed that low serum miR-193b level predicted poor prognosis independently. These findings indicate that serum miR-193b serves as a promising novel prognostic biomarker for CRC.

Abstract Background : Cancer has not been elucidated in colerectal site. C-reactive protein (CRP) is a product synthesized in hepatocytes and has been reported to be up-regulated by such proinflammatory cytokines as interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The significance of a preoperative serum elevation was evaluated using CRP as a predictive i...

Objective(s): Various studies have been conducted to reduce the metastatic behavior of cancerous cells. In this regard, ectopic expression of anti-metastatic microRNAs by miR-mimic and miR-restoration-based therapies could bring new insights to the field. In the present study, the consequences of co-transfecting breast cancer cell lines with miR-193b and miR-31 were investigated via invasion an...

The functional role of IGFBP5 in breast cancer is complicated. Experimental and bioinformatics studies have shown that IGFBP5 is targeted by miR-140-5p and miR-193b, although this has not yet been proven in clinical samples. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of miR-140-5p and miR-193b in breast cancer and adjacent normal tissue and assess its correlation with IGFBP5 and the c...
