Abstract:
Objective To detect the expressions of microRNA-126 (miR-126) and microRNA-7 (miR-7) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to analyze their correlations with clinicopathologic features and prognosis of ESCC.Methods The expressions of miR-126 and miR-7 in 116 ESCC samples and matched normal tissue samples were detected by real-time PCR.Statistical analysis was used to find the relationships among the expressions of miR-126 and miR-7,pathological characteristics and prognosis.Results Low expression,normal expression and high expression of miR-126 were found in 73 (62.9％),35 (30.2％) and 8 (6.9％) carcinoma samples respectively.Low expression,normal expression and high expression of miR-7 were found in 52 (44.8％),35 (30.2％) and 29 (25.0％) carcinoma samples respectively.The disease-free survival in patients with low expression of miR-126 and miR-7 was shorter than that in patients with non-low expression (x2 =4.268,P ＜0.05 ; x2 =4.993,P ＜0.05).The low expression of miR-126 was correlated with tumor location,family history and drinking (x2 =14.564,P ＜ 0.05 ; x2 =5.691,P ＜ 0.05 ; x2 =4.971,P ＜ 0.05),but was uncorrelated with gender,age,diferentiation,infiltration,lymphatic metastasis and smoking (all P ＞ 0.05).The low expression of miR-7 was uncorrelated with pathological characteristics of ESCC (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The low expressions of miR-126 and miR-7 may be related to the prognosis of patients with ESCC,and have a certain clinical detection significance.
