Abstract:
Objective:This study aimed to investigate the expression of plasma exosomal hsa_circ_0064910 in gastric cancer (GC) patients, explore its correlation with the clinical pathological characteristics and evaluate its diagnostic efficacy in GC.Methods:Sixty patients with GC and 30 patients with Chronic Gastritis (disease control group) admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University from October 2019 to December 2020 were selected. Meanwhile, 30 healthy subjects (healthy control group) who underwent physical examination were also enrolled. General data of GC patients were collected, including tumor size, degree of differentiation, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, etc. Blood samples were collected before treatment and the expression levels of plasma exosomal hsa_circ_0064910 were detected via quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). The serum concentrations of traditional biomarker (CEA and CA19-9) were measured via a chemiluminescent detection system. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and area under curve (AUC) were used to estimate the diagnostic capacity of different index in GC. Then, the expression difference of plasma exosomal hsa_circ_0064910 in GC patients before and after operation was analyzed, and its relationship with clinicopathological features of GC patients was also investigated.Results:RT-PCR results revealed that compared with Chronic gastritis patients and healthy control, the expression of plasma exosomal hsa_circ_0064910 was upregulated in the gastric cancer group(0.47±0.06, 0.43±0.05, 0.97±0.12, all P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve was 0.778, and AUC of the combination of CEA and CA19-9 for the diagnosis of gastric cancer was 0.841. which was higher than the diagnostic accuracies of CEA (AUC=0.673)and CA 19-9(AUC=0.653). The expression level of exosomal hsa_circ_0064910 was also significantly correlated with tumor size( χ2=7.545, P<0.01), TNM stage( χ2=4.571, P<0.05)and lymph node metastasis( χ2=6.907, P<0.01). The postoperative expression levels of exosomal hsa_circ_0064910 were lower compared with those of preoperative levels(1.21±0.21 vs 0.62±0.11, P<0.01). Conclusion:Our data demonstrated that exosomal hsa_circ_0064910 is highly expressed in GC patients and might be a potential noninvasive biomarker for the auxiliary diagnosis of GC.
