Abstract:
Objective To study the correlation between expression levels of serum microRNA(miRNA)-21 and miRNA-27b and the prognosis in colorectal cancer patients.Methods A total of 60 colorectal cancer pa-tients who were treated in the hospital from January to May 2021 were selected as the observation group.An-other 60 healthy volunteers who underwent the physical examination in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.The expression levels of serum miRNA-21 and miRNA-27b in the two groups,the expression levels of serum miRNA-21 and miRNA-27b levels in patients with different pathologi-cal features were detected and compared,and the survival prognosis of patients with different expression levels of serum miRNA-21 and miRNA-27b were compared.Results The expression levels of serum miRNA-21 and miRNA-27b in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The expression levels of serum miRNA-21 and miRNA-27b were lower in patients with TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳand with lymph node metastasis than those in stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and without lymph node metastasis respectively(P<0.05).With follow-up of 2 years,the mean survival time in the miRNA-21 high expression group was(15.36±2.32)months,and the mean survival time in the low miRNA-21 expression group was(21.54±2.46)months.The mean survival time in the miRNA-27b high expression group was(16.11±3.20)months,and the mean survival time in the miRNA-27b low expression group was mean(21.37±2.55)months.The 1 and 2-year survival rates in the miRNA-21 high expression group and miRNA-27b high expression group were significantly lower than those in the miRNA-21 low expression group and miRNA-27b low expression group,respectively(P<0.05).Serum miRNA-21 and miRNA-27b levels were negatively correlated with the survival prognosis of patients(P<0.05).Conclusion Serum miRNA-21 and miRNA-27b are highly expressed in pa-tients with colorectal cancer,and the expression levels of both are negatively correlated with the prognosis of patients,and they could be used for clinical monitoring of patients'condition and prognosis status,which de-serves attention.
