Noncoding RNAs play an important role in human carcinogenesis. YRNAs, a novel class of noncoding RNAs, have been identified as biomarkers in breast cancer patients.
To test the hypothesis that YRNA expression is dysregulated in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We first measured the expression of all known YRNAs (hY1, hY3, hY4, and hY5) in a screening cohort (30 ccRCC and 15 normal renal tissues). Subsequently, hY3 and hY4 were validated in an independent cohort (88 ccRCC and 59 normal renal tissues). Finally, hY3 and hY4 levels in serum samples from 30 ccRCC and 15 control individuals were measured. YRNAs were detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.
Relative expression values were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney-U test and Kaplan Meier estimates.
Expression of hY3 and hY4 was increased in ccRCC samples compared with normal renal tissue, whereas hY1 and hY5 levels were similar. Expression levels of hY4 correlated with ccRCC stage and the presence of lymph node metastases. Neither hY3 nor hY4 were circulating at different levels in ccRCC patients and control individuals.
The expression of hY3 and hY4 is altered in ccRCC and associated with advanced disease.
In this report we studied the expression of noncoding YRNA in clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissue. We observed increased hY3 and hY4 expression levels in cancer tissues. However, expression levels were not different in the serum of patients with cancer or benign disease.
非编码 RNA 在人类癌症发生中发挥着重要作用。YRNA 是一类新的非编码 RNA,已被鉴定为乳腺癌患者的生物标志物。
检验 YRNA 表达在透明细胞肾细胞癌(ccRCC)中失调的假说。
设计、地点和参与者:我们首先在筛选队列(30 例 ccRCC 和 15 例正常肾组织)中测量了所有已知 YRNA(hY1、hY3、hY4 和 hY5)的表达。随后,在独立队列(88 例 ccRCC 和 59 例正常肾组织)中验证了 hY3 和 hY4。最后,测量了 30 例 ccRCC 和 15 例对照个体血清样本中的 hY3 和 hY4 水平。使用实时定量聚合酶链反应检测 YRNA。
使用 Mann-Whitney-U 检验和 Kaplan-Meier 估计分析相对表达值。
与正常肾组织相比,ccRCC 样本中 hY3 和 hY4 的表达增加,而 hY1 和 hY5 的水平相似。hY4 的表达水平与 ccRCC 分期和淋巴结转移的存在相关。在 ccRCC 患者和对照个体中,hY3 或 hY4 的循环水平均无差异。
hY3 和 hY4 的表达在 ccRCC 中发生改变,并与疾病进展相关。
在本报告中,我们研究了非编码 YRNA 在透明细胞肾细胞癌组织中的表达。我们观察到癌症组织中 hY3 和 hY4 的表达水平增加。然而,癌症或良性疾病患者的血清中表达水平没有差异。
