Abstract

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common types of cancer among men. To date, there have been no specific markers identified for the diagnosis and prognosis or response to treatment of this disease. Thus, there is an urgent need for promising markers, which may be fulfilled by small non-coding RNAs known as microRNAs (miRNAs). Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the miRNA profile in tissue samples obtained from patients with PCa using microarrays, followed by reverse transcriptase quantitative PCRs (RT-qPCRs). In the discovery phase, 754 miRNAs were screened in tissues obtained from patients ( = 46) with PCa in early and late stages. Expression levels of miRNA-324-3p, miRNA-429, miRNA-570, and miRNA-616 were found to be downregulated, and miRNA-423-5p expression was upregulated in patients with early-stage cancer compared to the late-stage ones. These five miRNAs were further validated in an independent cohort of samples ( = 39) collected from patients with PCa using RT-qPCR-based assays. MiRNA-324-3p, miRNA-429, miRNA-570, and miRNA-616 expression levels remained significantly downregulated in early-stage cancer tissues compared to late-stage tissues. Remarkably, for a combination of three miRNAs, PSA levels and Gleason scores were able to discriminate between patients with early-stage PCa and late-stage PCa, with an AUC of 95%, a sensitivity of 86%, and a specificity close to 94%. Thus, the data obtained in this study suggest a possible involvement of the identified miRNAs in the pathogenesis of PCa, and they may also have the potential to be developed into diagnostic and prognostic tools for PCa. However, further studies with a larger cohort are needed.

摘要

前列腺癌(PCa)是男性中最常见的癌症类型之一。迄今为止,尚未发现用于该疾病诊断、预后或治疗反应的特异性标志物。因此,迫切需要有前景的标志物,而被称为微小RNA(miRNAs)的小非编码RNA可能满足这一需求。因此,本研究旨在使用微阵列研究从前列腺癌患者获得的组织样本中的miRNA谱,随后进行逆转录定量PCR(RT-qPCR)。在发现阶段,对从早期和晚期前列腺癌患者(n = 46)获得的组织中的754种miRNA进行了筛选。与晚期癌症患者相比,发现miRNA-324-3p、miRNA-429、miRNA-570和miRNA-616的表达水平下调,而miRNA-423-5p在早期癌症患者中的表达上调。使用基于RT-qPCR的检测方法在从前列腺癌患者收集的独立样本队列(n = 39)中进一步验证了这五种miRNA。与晚期组织相比,miRNA-324-3p、miRNA-429、miRNA-570和miRNA-616在早期癌症组织中的表达水平仍显著下调。值得注意的是,对于三种miRNA的组合,前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)水平和 Gleason评分能够区分早期前列腺癌患者和晚期前列腺癌患者,曲线下面积(AUC)为95%,敏感性为86%,特异性接近94%。因此,本研究获得的数据表明,所鉴定的miRNA可能参与前列腺癌的发病机制,它们也可能有潜力被开发成为前列腺癌的诊断和预后工具。然而,需要更大队列的进一步研究。
