miR-27a has been reported to exhibit abnormal expression in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), but the role of miR-27a in RCC remains unknown. In our study, up-regulation of miR-27a was validated by Real-time PCR analysis in 133 RCC samples. Overexpression of miR-27a promoted cell migration, invasion and proliferation in vitro, while its low expression exerted opposite effects. Kaplan-Meier analysis demonstrated that the patients with high expression of miR-27a had a worse overall and relapse-free survivals compared with those with low expression of miR-27a. Cox proportional hazards analyses showed that miR-27a expression was an independent prognostic factor for RCC patients. Collectively, our findings illustrate the promoting-cancer effect of miR-27a in RCC, suggesting that miR-27a could be a potential therapeutic target for RCC. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier analyses and Cox proportional regression analysis suggest that miR-27a may be a potential biomarker for predicting the survival of RCC patients.
据报道,miR-27a在肾细胞癌(RCC)中表达异常,但其在RCC中的作用尚不清楚。在我们的研究中,通过实时PCR分析在133例RCC样本中验证了miR-27a的上调。miR-27a的过表达促进了体外细胞迁移、侵袭和增殖,而其低表达则产生相反的效果。Kaplan-Meier分析表明,与miR-27a低表达的患者相比,miR-27a高表达的患者总生存期和无复发生存期更差。Cox比例风险分析表明,miR-27a表达是RCC患者的独立预后因素。总体而言,我们的研究结果说明了miR-27a在RCC中的促癌作用,表明miR-27a可能是RCC的潜在治疗靶点。此外,Kaplan-Meier分析和Cox比例回归分析表明,miR-27a可能是预测RCC患者生存的潜在生物标志物。
