Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of microRNA(miR)-23a-3p and miR-361-5p and the signaling pathway of phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)and prognosis in gastric cancer tissue.Methods The expressions of miR-23a-3p,miR-361-5p,PI3K mRNA,AKT mRNA and mTOR mRNA in gastric cancer tissue and adjacent tissue of 120 patients with gastric cancer were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The correlation between the expressions of miR-23a-3p and miR-361-5p and the expressions of PI3K mRNA,AKT mRNA and mTOR mRNA in gastric cancer tissue was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis,as well as the relationship between the expressions of miR-23a-3p and miR-361-5p and the clinicopathological characteristics of patients with gastric cancer.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis of different expressions of miR-23a-3p and miR-361-5p in gastric cancer tissue and the relationship between survival and prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.Univariate and multivariate COX regression analysis of factors affecting survival and prog-nosis of patients with gastric cancer.Results Compared with paracancerous tissue,the expressions of miR-23a-3p and miR-361-5p in gastric cancer tissue were significantly lower,while the expressions of PI3K mR-NA,AKT mRNA and mTOR mRNA were significantly higher,with statistical significance(all P＜0.05).The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that the expressions of miR-23a-3p and miR-361-5p in gas-tric cancer tissue were negatively correlated with the mRNA expressions of PI3K,AKT and mTOR(all P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in the expression of miR-23a-3p and miR-361-5p in gas-tric cancer tissue of patients with different tumor TNM stages,tumor differentiation degrees,postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy and lymph node metastasis(all P＜0.05).The 3-year overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients with low miR-23a-3p expression was 46.77％(29/62),which was lower than that of gastric cancer patients with high miR-23a-3p expression[81.03％(47/58)],and the difference was statistically sig-nificant(Log-Rank X2=30.243,P＜0.001).The 3-year overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients with low miR-361-5p expression was 50.79％(32/63),which was lower than that of gastric cancer patients with high miR-361-5p expression[77.19％(44/57)],and the difference was statistically significant(Log-Rank x2=24.932,P＜0.001).Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that TNM stage m,lymph node metastasis,no postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy,low expression of miR-23a-3p,and low ex-pression of miR-361-5p were independent risk factors for adverse prognosis in gastric cancer patients(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of miR-23a-3p and miR-361-5p in gastric cancer tissue of patients with gastric cancer is decreased,which is related to the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway,and is a potential prognostic tumor marker of gastric cancer.
