Gastric cancer is the second most common malignancy in China. However, the prognosis for gastric cancer patients remains poor. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether miR-451 was a potential prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer. Fresh tissues were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until use. The plasma was extracted and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect miR-451 expression. The Student's t test analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed to analyze expression of miR-451. The analysis results showed that the expression level of miR-451 was decreased expression in gastric cancer tissue. The down-regulation of miR-451 tended to be positively correlated with tumor stage, lymphatic metastasis and shorter overall survival of patients. MiR-451 may be a potential biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for the diagnoses and prognosis of gastric cancer.
胃癌是中国第二大常见恶性肿瘤。然而,胃癌患者的预后仍然很差。本研究的目的是调查miR-451是否为胃癌潜在的预后生物标志物。新鲜组织立即在液氮中冷冻备用。提取血浆并进行定量实时聚合酶链反应以检测miR-451的表达。采用Student's t检验分析和多因素Cox回归分析来分析miR-451的表达。分析结果显示,miR-451在胃癌组织中的表达水平降低。miR-451的下调往往与肿瘤分期、淋巴转移及患者较短的总生存期呈正相关。miR-451可能是胃癌诊断和预后的潜在生物标志物及潜在治疗靶点。
