A long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19 has been reported to be aberrantly regulated in a wide range of cancers. This meta-analysis was performed to explore the potential value of H19 as a biomarker for cancer prognosis.
We searched the electronic databases PubMed and Web of Science (up to April 30, 2016) in attention to collect all relevant researches to identify the association of lncRNA H19 with overall survival (OS), disease free survival (DFS) and lymph node metastasis (LNM).
Our findings revealed that high levels of H19 expression could predict poor OS (pooled HR: 1.19, 95% CI: 1.08-1.32, P=0.001) and LNM (pooled OR: 1.810, 95% CI: 1.27-2.59, P=0.001) in multiple cancers.
This meta-analysis showed that overexpression of H19 might potentially serve as a reliable biomarker for poor prognosis in different types of cancers.
据报道,长链非编码RNA(lncRNA)H19在多种癌症中存在异常调控。本荟萃分析旨在探讨H19作为癌症预后生物标志物的潜在价值。
我们检索了电子数据库PubMed和Web of Science(截至2016年4月30日),以收集所有相关研究,确定lncRNA H19与总生存期(OS)、无病生存期(DFS)和淋巴结转移(LNM)之间的关联。
我们的研究结果显示,在多种癌症中,高水平的H19表达可预测较差的OS(合并风险比:1.19,95%置信区间:1.08 - 1.32,P = 0.001)和LNM(合并比值比:1.810,95%置信区间:1.27 - 2.59,P = 0.001)。
本荟萃分析表明,H19的过表达可能是不同类型癌症预后不良的可靠生物标志物。
