Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of circular RNA(Circ RNAS)Actinin α 4(ACTN4)and platelet thrombin protein 1(THBS1)in intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)and their relationship with clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis,and provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Method A retrospective analysis was conducted on 84 ICC patients diagnosed and treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xian Jiaotong University from May 2017 to June 2020.The expressions of CircACTN4 mRNA,THBS1 mRNA and protein were detected by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and immunohistochemistry.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between CircACTN4 mRNA and THBS1 mRNA in ICC cancer tissue.The prognostic differences of ICC patients with different CircACTN4 mRNA and THBS1 mRNA expressions were compared by the Kaplan-Meier method(log rank test).COX regression analysis was performed to identify prognostic factors in ICC patients.The prognostic value of CircACTN4 mRNA and THBS1 mRNA in evaluating the risk of death in ICC patients was assessed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis.Results The expression of CircACTN4 mRNA in ICC tissues(3.14±0.42)was higher than that in adjacent tissues(0.76±0.25),with significant difference(t=44.094,P＜0.001).The positive rates of THBS1 mRNA(2.82±0.36)and protein positive rate(92.86％)in ICC tissues were higher than those in adjacent tissues(0.81±0.24,7.14％),and the differences were statistically significant(t/x2=42.068,123.429,all P＜0.001).CircACTN4 mRNA was positively correlated with THBS1 mRNA in ICC cancer tissue(r=0.669,P＜0.001).The expressions of CircACTN4 mRNA,THBS1 mRNA in ICC cancer tissues with TNM stage Ⅲ,low differentiation,and lymph node metastasis were higher than those in TNM stage Ⅰ～Ⅱ,high differentiation,and non-lymph node metastasis cancer tissues,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=7.949,9.164,12.207;23.270,18.625,19.828,all P＜0.001).The 3-year cumulative survival rates of the high expression group of CircACTN4 mRNA and THBS1 mRNA were lower than those of the low expression group of CircACTN4 mRNA(25.00％vs 56.82％)and THBS1 mRNA(19.51％vs 62.79％),and the differences were statistically significant(Log rank x2=13.601,24.310,all P＜0.001).CircACTN4 mRNA(OR=1.839,95％CI:1.228～2.753),THBS1 mRNA(OR=1.744,95％CI:1.245～2.443),lymph node metastasis(OR=1.925,95％CI:1.316～2.816),TNM staging(OR=1.613,95％CI:1.223～2.126),and tumor differentiation(OR=1.510,95％CI:1.205～1.892)were independent factors affecting the prognosis of ICC.The area under the curve of the combination detection of circACTN4 and THBS1 mRNA on the prognosis of death in patients with ICC was 0.868,which was greater than that of the single index(0.812 and 0.784),with significant differences(Z=3.348,3.847,all P＜0.001).Conclusion The expressions of CircACTN4 mRNA and THBS1 mRNA were increased in ICC,and they were associated with TNM stage,differentiation,and lymph node metastasis.These markers may serve as novel indicators to evaluate the poor prognosis of ICC patients.
