Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the relationship between the expression levels of serum microRNA(miR-138-5p)and long non-coding RNA(LncRNA)NEAT1 in patients with colorectal cancer(CRC)and clinical pathological features and prognosis.Methods:Totally 163 CRC patients admitted to our hospital from May 2019 to August 2021 were used as the CRC group,and were assigned into a survival group(n=104)and a death group(n=47)based on 3-year prognosis.Another 175 patients with benign colorectal lesions were as the control group.Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to measure serum miR-138-5p and LncRNA NEAT1.K-M curve was used to analyze the relationship between serum miR-138-5p and LncRNA NEAT1 expression and prognosis of CRC.Multivariate Cox re-gression was used to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis of CRC.ROC was used to analyze the predictive value of serum miR-138-5p and LncRNA NEAT1 for prognosis of CRC.Results:Compared with the control group,the serum miR-138-5p in the CRC group was lower(t=12.802,P<0.05),and the LncRNA NEAT1 was higher(t=13.752,P<0.05).The serum miR-138-5p was related to the differentiation degree,T stage,and N stage of CRC patients(χ2=4.780,6.557,8499,P<0.05);and the serum LncRNA NEAT1 was associated with T stage and N stage in CRC patients(χ2=8.352,9.642,P<0.05).There were obvious differences between the survival group and the death group in T stage and N stage(χ2=6.801,7.580,P<0.05),and the serum miR-138-5p in the survival group was lower than that in the death group(t=8.290,P<0.05),while the serum LncRNA NEAT1 was higher than that in the death group(t=10.008,P<0.05).K-M curve showed that patients with high miR-138-5p expression had a higher 3-year survival rate than those with low miR-138-5p expression(Log Rank χ2=6.661,P=0.010);and the 3-year survival rate of patients with high ex-pression of LncRNA NEAT1 was lower than that of patients with low expression of LncRNA NEAT1(Log Rank χ2=10.620,P=0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that T stage(HR=3.516),N stage(HR=2.983),serum miR-138-5p(HR=0.927),and LncRNA NEAT1(HR=1.659)were all factors affecting the prognosis of CRC(P<0.05).ROC results showed that the AUC for predicting poor prognosis in CRC by combining serum miR-138-5p and LncRNA NEAT1 was 0.716,which was obviously higher than that predicted by miR-138-5p(Z=3.173,P=0.002)and LncRNA NEAT1(Z=3.253,P=0.001)alone.Conclusion:Serum miR-138-5p is lower and LncRNA NEAT1 is higher in CRC pa-tients.Moreover,the levels of both are closely related to the clinical pathological features and prognosis.
