Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression levels of serum LINC00978 in gastric cancer patients and its correlation with clinicopathological characteristics,and evaluate its clinical diagnostic value.Methods The expression levels of LINC00978 in gastric cancer cells and serum samples from the patients with gastric cancer or gastric benign diseases and healthy controls were detected by real-time qRT-PCR,and its correlations with clinicopathological parameters were analyzed.The diagnostic efficacy of serum LINC00978 was evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results The expression levels of LINC00978 in MGC-803 cells were significantly higher than that in GES-1 cells (18.88 ± 1.15 vs 1.00 ± 0.03,t =-21.926,P ＜ 0.05).The expression levels (median[P25,P75]) of serum LINC00978 in gastric cancer patients (3.525 [1.385,8.954]) were significantly higher than those in the patients with gastric benign diseases (0.419 [0.258,1.369],Z =-4.834,P ＜ 0.01) and healthy controls (0.814 [0.351,2.510],Z =-4.686,P ＜ 0.01).The expression levels of serum LINC00978 in gastric cancer patients were significantly related to lymphatic metastasis (r =0.448,P ＜ 0.01),invasive depth (r =0.369,P ＜ 0.01) and TNM stage (r =0.383,P ＜ 0.01),and those after operation significantly lower than before operation (0.17 [0.15,0.39] vs 0.98 [0.59,1.61],Z =-5.731,P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in serum LINC00978 levels between the patients with gastric benign diseases and healthy controls (Z =-1.693,P ＞ 0.05).The area under the ROC curve (AUCROC) and 95％ confidence interval (CI) of serum LINC00978 levels in the diagnosis of gastric cancer were 0.807 and 0.732-0.882,respectively.When the cutoff value was 1.806,the sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of gastric cancer were 71.4％ and 75.9％,respectively.Conclusion The expression levels of serum LINC00978 in gastric cancer patients increase and are related to lymphatic metastasis,invasive depth and TNM stage,which may be served as a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of gastric cancer.
