The oncogenic effects of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Nicotinamide Nucleotide Transhydrogenase-antisense RNA1 (NNT-AS1) role in colorectal cancer (CRC) hasn't been sufficiently inspected in relation to the Homo sapiens (hsa)-microRNA (miR)- 485-5p/ heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) axis, clinically. qRT-PCR was performed to detect lncRNA NNT-AS1 and hsa-miR-485-5p expression levels in 60 Egyptian patients' sera. HSP90 serum level was quantified using Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The relative expression level of the studied non-coding RNAs as well as the HSP90 ELISA concentration were correlated with patients clinicopathological characteristics and correlated to each other. The axis diagnostic utility in comparison with carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) tumor markers (TMs) was studied by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The relative lncRNA NNT-AS1 expression level fold change 56.7 (13.5-112) and HSP90 protein ELISA level 6.68 (5.14-8.77) (ng/mL) were elevated, while, for hsa-miR-485-5p 0.0474 (0.0236-0.135) expression fold change was repressed in CRC Egyptian patients' cohort sera, being compared to 28 apparently healthy control subjects. LncRNA NNT-AS1 specificity is 96.4% and a sensitivity of 91.7%, hsa-miR-485-5p showed 96.4% specificity, 90% sensitivity, and for HSP90 89.3%, 70% specificity and sensitivity, respectively. Those specificities and sensitivities were superior to the classical CRC TMs. A significant negative correlation was found between hsa-miR-485-5p with lncRNA NNT-AS1 (r = -0.933) expression fold change or with HSP90 protein blood level (r = -0.997), but, significant positive correlation was there between lncRNA NNT-AS1 and HSP90 (r = 0.927). LncRNA NNT-AS1/hsa-miR-485-5p/HSP90 axis could be a prospect for CRC development as well as diagnosis. Being correlated and related to CRC histologic grades 1-3, therefore, lncRNA NNT-AS1/hsa-miR-485-5p/HSP90 axis (not individually) expression approved clinically and in silico, could aid treatment precision.
长链非编码 RNA (lncRNA) 烟酰胺核苷酸转氢酶反义 RNA1 (NNT-AS1) 在结直肠癌 (CRC) 中的致癌作用与 Homo sapiens (hsa)-microRNA (miR)-485-5p/热休克蛋白 90 (HSP90) 轴的关系尚未得到充分研究。我们通过 qRT-PCR 检测了 60 例埃及患者血清中的 lncRNA NNT-AS1 和 hsa-miR-485-5p 表达水平。采用酶联免疫吸附试验 (ELISA) 定量检测 HSP90 血清水平。研究了这些非编码 RNA 的相对表达水平以及 HSP90 ELISA 浓度与患者临床病理特征的相关性,并相互关联。通过受试者工作特征 (ROC) 曲线分析研究了该轴与癌胚抗原 19-9 (CA19-9) 和癌胚抗原 (CEA) 肿瘤标志物 (TM) 的诊断效用。与 28 名明显健康的对照相比,CRC 埃及患者队列血清中相对 lncRNA NNT-AS1 表达水平的变化倍数为 56.7(13.5-112),HSP90 蛋白 ELISA 水平为 6.68(5.14-8.77)(ng/mL),而 hsa-miR-485-5p 的表达水平为 0.0474(0.0236-0.135)。lncRNA NNT-AS1 的特异性为 96.4%,灵敏度为 91.7%,hsa-miR-485-5p 的特异性为 96.4%,灵敏度为 90%,HSP90 的特异性为 89.3%,灵敏度为 70%。这些特异性和敏感性优于经典的 CRC TMs。hsa-miR-485-5p 与 lncRNA NNT-AS1(r=-0.933)表达水平的变化或与 HSP90 蛋白血水平(r=-0.997)之间存在显著负相关,但 lncRNA NNT-AS1 与 HSP90 之间存在显著正相关(r=0.927)。lncRNA NNT-AS1/hsa-miR-485-5p/HSP90 轴可能是 CRC 发展和诊断的一个前景。lncRNA NNT-AS1/hsa-miR-485-5p/HSP90 轴与 CRC 组织学分级 1-3 相关,因此,lncRNA NNT-AS1/hsa-miR-485-5p/HSP90 轴(而非单独)的表达在临床上和计算机上都得到了证实,这可能有助于提高治疗的准确性。
