Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the expression of miR-30c and miR-29b in prostate cancer (PCa) and its clinical significance. The expression of miR-30c and miR-29b was detected by RT-qPCR in 187 cases of PCa and their adjacent tissues. Combined with clinical information, the correlation between the expression of miR-29b and miR-30c and the clinical features of PCa was analyzed, and ROC curve was plotted. The expression of miR-30c and miR-29b detected by RT-qPCR showed that the expression of miR-29b and miR-30c in PCa tissues was significantly lower than that in adjacent cancerous tissues (p<0.05). By comparing the expression and clinical data of miR-29b and miR-30c in the cancer tissues of PCa patients, it was observed that age, smoking, and TNM staging were not related to miR-29b and miR-30c expression (p>0.05), while lymph node metastasis, bone metastasis, and Gleason score were related to the expression of miR-29b and miR-30c (p<0.01). The ROC curve showed that miR-29b AUC, 0.924; 95% CI, 0.824-0.967, and miR-30c AUC, 0.944; 95% CI, 0.798-0.972. miR-30c and miR-29b are clinically relevant to PCa. In conclusion, detecting the expression of miR-30c and miR-29b not only can differentiate between PCa and paracancerous tissues, but it is also anticipated to become a new biomarker for the diagnosis of PCa.
