Abstract:
Objective To measure the expressions of Kaposi′s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus type 8 associated-microRNAs k12-1 (kshv-miR-k12-1)and k12-12 (kshv-miR-k12-12)in Kaposi′s sarcoma tissue, and to assess their relationship with pathological stage and lesion area of Kaposi′s sarcoma, HIV infection, and human herpesvirus type 8 (HPV-8)infection. Methods Totally, 18 paired tissue specimens stored in liquid nitrogen from Kaposi′ s sarcoma lesions and paralesional skin were collected. Total RNAs were extracted from these specimens by using Trizol reagent, and reversely transcribed into cDNA. SYBR Green real-time fluorescence-based quantitative PCR was performed to measure the expressions of kshv-miR-k12-1 and kshv-miR-k12-12 in these specimens. The relationship of kshv-miR-k12-1 and kshv-miR-k12-12 expressions with the pathological stage and lesion area of Kaposi′s sarcoma, HIV and HPV-8 infections was analyzed. Results Compared with paralesional normal skin, Kaposi′s sarcoma lesions showed significantly increased expressions of kshv-miR-k12-1 (2-ΔΔCt: 1.016 ± 1.645 vs. 0.029 ± 0.019, t = 2.542, P = 0.016)and kshv-miR-k12-12 (2-ΔΔCt: 2.104 ± 1.973 vs. 0.102 ± 0.093, t = 4.301, P = 0.000). There were no significant differences in the expressions of kshv-miR-k12-1 or kshv-miR-k12-12 between patients with HIV or HPV-8 infection and those without, among patients with different pathological stages of Kaposi′s sarcoma, or among patients with different lesion areas (all P > 0.05). Conclusion Both kshv-miR-k12-1 and kshv-miR-k12-12 are highly expressed in Kaposi′s sarcoma, but neither of their expressions is related to HIV or HPV-8 infection, pathological stage or lesion area of Kaposi′s sarcoma.
