In this study, we examined the relationships between the expression level of long non-coding RNA MIR31HG in bladder cancer and the clinical characteristics.
A total of 55 tissue samples from patients with bladder cancer were collected, and the lncRNA MIR31HG levels in cancer, paired non-cancer tissues and BC cell lines were detected by real-time quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). The relationships between MIR31HG level and the clinical characteristics were evaluated.
MIR31HG expression was remarkably decreased in bladder cancer tissues compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues (P < 0.05). MIR31HG expression was also significantly down-regulated in four bladder cancer cell lines (P < 0.001). Clinicopathologic analysis revealed that MIR31HG expression was negatively associated with TNM stage (P = 0.010), but not with other clinicopathological characteristics.
These findings revealed that MIR31HG may function as a cancer-suppressor gene to participate in the bladder cancer carcinogenesis and development.
在本研究中,我们检测了长链非编码RNA MIR31HG在膀胱癌中的表达水平及其与临床特征的关系。
收集了55例膀胱癌患者的组织样本,采用实时定量逆转录聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)检测癌组织、配对的癌旁组织及膀胱癌细胞系中lncRNA MIR31HG的水平,并评估MIR31HG水平与临床特征之间的关系。
与癌旁组织相比,膀胱癌组织中MIR31HG的表达显著降低(P < 0.05)。在4种膀胱癌细胞系中,MIR31HG的表达也明显下调(P < 0.001)。临床病理分析显示,MIR31HG的表达与TNM分期呈负相关(P = 0.010),但与其他临床病理特征无关。
这些结果表明,MIR31HG可能作为一种抑癌基因参与膀胱癌的发生和发展。
