Abstract
Background
MicroRNAs act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors in various cancers. The tumor microenvironment (TME) plays an important role in tumor cell progression and survival.
Methods
MicroRNA expressions were evaluated by using NanoString nCounter assay, qRT-PCR and in situ hybridization. Correlation between MircoRNA expressions and TME factors, clinicopathological behaviors and prognostic significance were assessed in 323 surgically resected colorectal cancers.
Results
The microRNA-206 expression was identified significantly higher in Glasgow microenvironment score (GMS) 0 than in GMS 1 or GMS 2 by using the NanoString nCounter assay and qRT-PCR. High microRNA-206 expression was identified in 155 (48.0 %) cases in in situ hybridization and was significantly correlated with low pT classification, and absence of lymphovascular and perineural invasion, and lymph node metastasis. MicroRNA-206 expression was significantly associated with low tumor stroma percentage (TSP), high Klintrup–Mäkinen (KM) grade and low GMS. Patients with high microRNA-206 expression showed significantly better 5-year overall survival than those with low microRNA-206 expression, and was an independent prognostic factor in patients with colorectal cancer. High miR-206 expression was associated with TME, favorable clinicopathologic behaviors and overall survival and presents an independent prognostic factor in patients with colorectal cancer.
Conclusion
Thus, MicroRNA-206 expression presents a feasible prognostic factor and potential therapeutic target to treat patients with colorectal cancer.
期刊介绍:
Pathology, Research and Practice provides accessible coverage of the most recent developments across the entire field of pathology: Reviews focus on recent progress in pathology, while Comments look at interesting current problems and at hypotheses for future developments in pathology. Original Papers present novel findings on all aspects of general, anatomic and molecular pathology. Rapid Communications inform readers on preliminary findings that may be relevant for further studies and need to be communicated quickly. Teaching Cases look at new aspects or special diagnostic problems of diseases and at case reports relevant for the pathologist''s practice.
