Abstract:
Objective To detect the relative expression level of long non-coding RNA nuclear enriched a-bundant transcript(NEAT)1 in peripheral serum of patients with gastric cancer,and to explore the possibili-ty of its application in the auxiliary diagnosis of gastric cancer.Methods A total of 101 patients with newly diagnosed gastric cancer in Nantong Tumor Hospital from November 2017 to December 2019 were selected as the gastric cancer group,60 patients with benign gastric lesions were selected as the gastric benign lesions group,and 76 healthy people were selected as the control group.The relative expression levels of lncRNA NEAT1,carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)and carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA19-9)in serum samples of each group were detected,and the correlation between lncRNA NEAT1 and clinicopathological parameters was ana-lyzed.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of lncRNA NEAT1,CEA and CA19-9 alone or in combination.Results The relative expression levels of lncRNA NEAT1 in serum of gastric cancer group,gastric benign disease group and control group were 2.163(1.357,2.843),1.176(0.677,1.381)and 1.063(0.570,1.308),respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(H=52.467,P<0.001).The relative expression level of serum lncRNA NEAT1 in gastric cancer patients was not related to gender(P=0.353)and age(P=0.382),but was related to tumor size(P=0.031),TNM stage(P=0.037)and lymph node metastasis(P=0.046).The relative expression level of lncRNA NEAT1 in serum of gastric cancer patients was not correlated with CEA and CA19-9(P>0.05).The ROC curve showed that the area under the curve and sensitivity of lncRNA NEAT1 in the diagnosis of gastric cancer were higher than those of CEA and CA19-9.The combined diagnosis of the three had the highest diagnostic efficiency.Conclusion The relative expression of lncRNA NEAT1 in peripheral blood of patients with gastric cancer is increased,and it is correlated with some clinicopathological parameters.lncRNA NEAT1 may be a new marker for auxiliary diagnosis of gastric cancer.
