Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression level of miR-21, miR-146a and miR-224 and their clinical significances in cervical cancer .Methods miR-21, miR-146a and miR-224 were extracted from the normal cervical tissues and cervical cancer tissues , and their expression levels were quantified by real-time quan-titative polymerase chain reaction analysis .t test was used to analyze the expression difference of the two tissues and examine the associations between miR expression and the clinicopathological characters .The overall survival was analyzed by log-rank test, and survival curves were plotted according to Kaplan-Meier.Results miR-21 ex-pression levels of cervical cancer tissues and normal cervical tissues were 11.02 ±4.83 and 10.36 ±4.79, and miR-146a expression levels were 24.68 ±7.92 and 22.43 ±7.25, and there was no significant difference for both miR-21 and miR-146a expression between groups (P>0.05).miR-224 expression levels were 5.78 ±1.03 and 3.35 ±0.93 in cervical cancer tissues and normal cervical tissues , and the difference had statistical significance (P<0.001).For cervical cancer tissues, the miR-224 levels were significantly higher in tumors less differentia-ted, in advanced FIGO stage and with lymph nodes metastasis (P<0.05).miR-224 levels showed obvious corre-lation with survival time and the median survival time was shorter in patients with higher expression level of miR -224(P <0.05).COX multivariate analysis showed miR-224 expression level was an independent factor in patients'survival and prognosis ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion miR-224 is independent predictor for aggressive pro-gression and poor prognosis in cervical cancer , and it might serve as a biomarker for predicting clinical outcome of cervical cancer patients .
