Previous studies have confirmed long noncoding RNA LEMD1-AS1 (LEMD1-AS1) as a functional factor in several tumors. The present work is aimed at exploring the prognostic and diagnostic values of LEMD1-AS1 in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We examined the expressions of LEMD1-AS1 in pan-cancer from TCGA microarray datasets and GTEx Project. The expressions of LEMD1-AS1 were detected by qRT-PCR in EOC specimens and normal ovarian specimens from 30 EOC patients. The test was applied to compare the clinicopathological characteristics of different groups. ROC curves were established to determine the diagnostic values of LEMD1-AS1 in screening EOC tissues. The association of LEMD1-AS1 expression with clinical outcome was determined by the Kaplan-Meier methods and COX assays. A decreased expression of LEMD1-AS1 was observed in EOC tissues compared to matched normal specimens ( < 0.01). Low LEMD1-AS1 expression could be used to distinguish EOC from adjacent normal specimens. A clinical study revealed that patients with low LEMD1-AS1 expression have a shorter overall survival ( = 0.035) and progress-free interval ( = 0.041) than those with high LEMD1-AS1 expression. The Spearman correlation test revealed that LEMD1-AS1 expressions were negatively associated with the expressions of neutrophil and myeloid dendritic cell. Overall, our finding suggested that LEMD1-AS1 may have potential roles as a potential biomarker and/or a therapeutic target in EOC.
先前的研究已经证实,长链非编码 RNA LEMD1-AS1(LEMD1-AS1)是几种肿瘤中的功能因子。本研究旨在探讨 LEMD1-AS1 在卵巢上皮癌(EOC)患者中的预后和诊断价值。我们从 TCGA 微阵列数据集和 GTEx 项目中检查了 LEMD1-AS1 在泛癌中的表达。通过 qRT-PCR 在 30 例 EOC 患者的 EOC 标本和正常卵巢标本中检测 LEMD1-AS1 的表达。 检验用于比较不同组的临床病理特征。ROC 曲线用于确定 LEMD1-AS1 在筛选 EOC 组织中的诊断价值。Kaplan-Meier 方法和 COX 检验确定 LEMD1-AS1 表达与临床结局的相关性。与匹配的正常标本相比,EOC 组织中观察到 LEMD1-AS1 的表达降低( < 0.01)。低表达 LEMD1-AS1 可用于区分 EOC 与相邻正常标本。临床研究表明,低表达 LEMD1-AS1 的患者总生存期( = 0.035)和无进展间隔( = 0.041)较短,而高表达 LEMD1-AS1 的患者总生存期( = 0.035)和无进展间隔( = 0.041)较短。Spearman 相关检验显示 LEMD1-AS1 的表达与中性粒细胞和髓样树突状细胞的表达呈负相关。总的来说,我们的研究结果表明,LEMD1-AS1 可能在 EOC 中作为一种潜在的生物标志物和/或治疗靶点发挥作用。
