Abstract:
Objective To investigate clinical value of miRNA-27-3p expressed in colorectal cancers,liver metastasis,and the peripheral blood,and analyze its target genes.Methods Among 78 cases of colorectal cancer patients,sera,colorectal cancers,and liver metastases were used to detect miRNA-27a-3p expressions with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and analyze its clinical significance.We predicted miRNA-27-3p target genes,and confirmed the target genes and their correlation between miRNA-27a-3p and target genes.Results The expression level of miRNA-27a-3p in 78 cases of colorectal cancers was 3.13 ± 1.72,which was significantly higher than that in matched adjacent cancer tissues (1.06 ± 0.42) and control group (0.68 ± 0.27) (P ＜ 0.05).The expression level of miRNA-27a-3p in 27 cases of liver metastases was 3.48 ± 1.15,which was significantly higher than that in paired colorectal cancer tissues (2.34 ± 1.03) (P ＜0.05) and adjacent tissues (0.81 ± 1.14) (P ＜0.05).Expression levels of miRNA-27a-3p in patients with colorectal cancer tissues and peripheral blood had no significant difference in age,sex,serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels,tumor location,and pathological types (P ＞ 0.05);however,it had positive significant difference in lymph node metastasis,liver metastasis,tumor node metastasis (TNM) staging (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of miRNA-27a-3p was negatively correlated with the expression of target gene GP73.Conclusions The higher expression was miRNA-27a-3p in peripheral blood and colorectal cancer tissues,higher risk of liver metastasis occurs.MiRNA-27a-3p might participate in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer by regulating target gene expression of GP73.In peripheral blood of colorectal cancer patients,miRNA-27a-3p might be used for potential auxiliary diagnosis and predict liver metastasis.
