Abstract:
Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of miR-150-5P in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods Expressions of miR-150-5P were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and in situ hybridization (ISH) in cancerous and adjacent tissues of 91 HCC patients.Statistical analysis was conducted by SPSS 22.0 software.Results qRT-PCR revealed that the mRNA expression level of miR-150-5P was significantly lower in HCC tissues than adjacent tissues.ISH revealed that the positive rate of miR-150-5P was downregulated in HCC tissues compared to adjacent tissues(x2 =4.958,P =0.046).Chi-square analysis revealed that high miR-150-5P expression was inversely associated with lymph node status of HCC patients,which was statistically significant (x2 =8.617,P =0.006).Kaplan-Meier curves revealed that high miR-150-5P expression was positively correlated with 5-year overall survival rates of HCC patients after surgery,which was also statistically significant(x2 =6.184,P=0.013).Conclusions miR-150-5P expression is downregnlated in HCC,and is negatively correlated with lymph node metastasis and positively correlated with cumulative survival of HCC patients.
