Clinical significance of altered expression of mitochondrial genome-derived LncRNA LIPCAR in colorectal cancer
Background
The prevalence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) are rising; therefore, understanding its molecular pathophysiology is necessary for identifying reliable diagnostic and therapeutic markers. Several studies corroborate the fact that the initiation and progression of various diseases, including cancers, are significantly influenced by the dysregulation of mitochondrial transcripts, such as lncRNAs encoded by the mitochondrial genome. This study is the first to examine the expression profile of LIPCAR in CRC and its correlation with clinicopathological parameters.
Methods
In this work, 40 pairs of CRC tissues were obtained, including 40 tumor samples and 40 adjacent non-tumor samples. The SYBR green technique was applied in real-time PCR to analyze the expression profile of LIPCAR in CRC patients.
Results
The findings indicated a significant downregulation of LIPCAR in tumor tissue samples compared to adjacent non-tumoral tissues (p-value<.05). Furthermore, no significant relationship between the patients' clinical data and decreased LIPCAR expression was found. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that LIPCAR had an area under the curve (AUC) of .75 (p-value <.0001), with a sensitivity of 87.5 % and a specificity of 57.5 % at a cutoff value of .094.
Conclusion
The marked downregulation of LIPCAR expression suggests its critical involvement in the pathogenesis of CRC, potentially functioning as a tumor suppressor. Furthermore, LIPCAR may serve as a clinical biomarker for CRC patients. However, this hypothesis necessitates further validation through comprehensive functional studies conducted both in vitro and in vivo.
期刊介绍:
Open access, online only, peer-reviewed international journal in the Life Sciences, established in 2014 Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports (BB Reports) publishes original research in all aspects of Biochemistry, Biophysics and related areas like Molecular and Cell Biology. BB Reports welcomes solid though more preliminary, descriptive and small scale results if they have the potential to stimulate and/or contribute to future research, leading to new insights or hypothesis. Primary criteria for acceptance is that the work is original, scientifically and technically sound and provides valuable knowledge to life sciences research. We strongly believe all results deserve to be published and documented for the advancement of science. BB Reports specifically appreciates receiving reports on: Negative results, Replication studies, Reanalysis of previous datasets.
