To investigate whether urine levels of miRNAs that regulate the function of endothelial cells are associated with effectiveness in benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients treated with a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, tadalafil.
PATIENTS & METHODS: We measured urine levels of three miRNAs (miR-21-5p, miR-126-5p & miR-155-5p) in 55 BPH patients before and after tadalafil administration to understand its effectiveness.
Baseline urine miR-21-5p level was an independent predictor of response to tadalafil in multivariate regression analysis (odds ratio: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.10-0.77; p = 0.014). Receiver operator curve analysis revealed that baseline urine miR-21-5p could serve as a predictor of response (area under curve: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.75-0.95; p < 0.001).
Urine miR-21-5p could serve as a biomarker in predicting response of tadalafil for BPH.
研究调节内皮细胞功能的微小RNA(miRNA)尿液水平是否与5型磷酸二酯酶抑制剂他达拉非治疗良性前列腺增生(BPH)患者的疗效相关。
我们在55例BPH患者服用他达拉非前后测量了三种miRNA(miR-21-5p、miR-126-5p和miR-155-5p)的尿液水平,以了解其疗效。
在多变量回归分析中,基线尿液miR-21-5p水平是他达拉非反应的独立预测因子(比值比:0.28;95%置信区间:0.10-0.77;p=0.014)。受试者工作特征曲线分析显示,基线尿液miR-21-5p可作为反应的预测指标(曲线下面积:0.85;95%置信区间:0.75-0.95;p<0.001)。
尿液miR-21-5p可作为预测他达拉非治疗BPH反应的生物标志物。
