Prognostic and clinicopathological role of long non-coding RNA UCA1 in various carcinomas.

ABSTRACT: Urothelial cancer associated 1 (UCA1) as an oncogenic long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) was aberrantly upregulated in various solid tumors. Numerous studies have demonstrated overexpression of UCA1 is an unfavorable prognostic indicator in cancer patients. This study aimed to further explore the prognosis role and clinical significance of UCA1 in cancer. Eligible studies were recruited by a systematic search in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases. A total of 19/16 studies with 1587/1291 cancer patients were included to evaluate the association between UCA1 expression and overall survival (OS) and clinicopathological factors of malignancies by computing hazard ratio (HR), odds ratios (OR) and confidence interval (CI). The meta-analysis indicated overexpression of UCA1 was significantly correlated with unexpected OS in patients with cancer (pooled HR = 1.85, 95% CI 1.62-2.10, p < 0.001). There was also a significantly negative association between high level of UCA1 and poor grade cancer (pooled OR = 2.74, 95% CI 2.04-3.70, p < 0.001) and positive lymphatic metastasis (pooled OR = 2.43, 95% CI 1.72-3.41, p < 0.001). In conclusion, our study suggested that UCA1 was correlated with more advanced clinicopathological features and poor prognosis as a novel predictive biomarker of patients with various tumors.

Project description:Recently, increasing studies suggested that lncRNA SNHG12 was aberrantly expressed in kinds of cancers. However, definite prognostic value of SNHG12 remains unclear. We conducted this meta-analysis to evaluate the association between SNHG12 expression level and cancer prognosis. A literature retrieval was conducted by searching kinds of databases. The meta-analysis was performed by using Revman 5.2 and Stata 12.0 software. Besides, The Cancer Genome Atlas dataset was analyzed to validate the results in our meta-analysis via using Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis. The pooled results showed that high SNHG12 expression significantly indicated worse overall survival and recurrence-free survival. Tumor type, sample size, survival analysis method, and cutoff value did not alter SNHG12 prognosis value according to stratified analysis results. Additionally, higher expression of SNHG12 suggested unfavorable clinicopathological outcomes including larger tumor size, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and advanced clinical stage. Online cross-validation in TCGA dataset further indicated that cancer patients with upregulated SNHG12 expression had worse overall survival and disease-free survival. Therefore, elevated SNHG12 expression was associated with poor survival and unfavorable clinical outcomes in various cancers, and therefore might be a potential prognostic biomarker in human cancers.

Project description:Background: Long non-coding RNA PANDAR is an emerging non-coding RNA mapping to 6p21.2. It underlies metastatic progression and chromosomal instability in a variety of cancers. Despite the fact that recent studies have revealed that lncRNA PANDAR may be a potential prognostic biomarker for patients with cancer, there has still been controversy on the prognostic value of PANDAR. Methods: Databases of PubMed, Embase, SinoMed, and Web of Science were carefully searched and the literature which investigated the prognostic value of PANDAR expression among human cancers was collected for further analysis. Odds ratios (ORs) or hazards ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled to estimate the relation between PANDAR expression and survival or clinicopathological characteristics of cancer patients. Results: There were 13 eligible studies in total, with 1,465 patients enlisted in this meta-analysis. All the eligible studies complied with the case-control study. The outcome showed that the elevated expression level of PANDAR was significantly related to poor overall survival (OS) (pooled HR 1.72, 95%CI 1.14-2.60). However, high or low expression of PANDAR did not differ in the prediction of event-free survival (EFS). Moreover, we discovered that high PANDAR expression was closely related to decreased OS in colorectal cancer (pooled HR 3.43, 95%CI 2.06-5.72) and reduced expression level of PANDAR was markedly related to poor OS (pooled HR 0.65, 95%CI 0.45-0.88) in non-small cell lung cancer. However, the expression level of PANDAR had no significant association with OS in renal cell carcinoma (pooled HR 1.19, 95%CI 0.56-2.50). Moreover, after analysis, we discovered that the high expression level of PANDAR was associated closely with the depth of invasion (pooled OR 3.95, 95%CI 2.36-6.63), lymph node metastasis (pooled OR 1.92, 95%CI 0.93-3.98), tumor stage (pooled OR 2.05, 95%CI 0.99-4.27), and distant metastasis (pooled OR 2.87, 95%CI 1.60-5.16). Conclusions: Our study revealed that increased PANDAR expression may serve as an adverse prognostic biomarker for cancer patients, thus helping the clinical decision-making process.

Project description:Background: Although the treatment of cancer has made evident progress, its morbidity and mortality are still high. A tumor marker is a critical indicator for early cancer diagnosis, and timely cancer detection can efficiently help improve the prognosis of patients. Therefore, it is necessary to identify novel markers associated with cancer. LncRNA myocardial infarction associated transcript (MIAT) is a newly identified tumor marker, and in this study, we aimed to explore the relationship between MIAT and clinicopathological features and patient prognosis. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library from inception to September 2020 to identify correlational studies. Then, we extracted valid data and used Stata software to make forest plots. We used the hazard ratio (HR) or odds ratio (OR) with 95% CI to evaluate the relationship between aberrant expression of MIAT and patients' prognosis and clinicopathological features. Results: The study included 21 studies, containing 2,048 patients. Meta-analysis showed that overexpression of lncRNA MIAT was associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.60, 95% CI, 1.31-1.96, p < 0.001). In addition, high expression of MIAT could forecast tumor size (OR = 2.26, 95% CI 1.34-3.81, p = 0.002), distant metastasis (OR = 2.54, 95% CI 1.84-3.50, p < 0.001), TNM stage (OR = 2.38, 95% CI 1.36-4.18, p = 0.002), lymph node metastasis (OR = 2.59, 95% CI 1.25-5.36, p = 0.011), and the degree of differentiation (OR = 2.65, 95% CI 1.54-4.58, p < 0.001). However, other clinicopathological features, including age (OR = 1.07, 95% CI 0.87-1.32, p = 0.516), gender (OR = 0.95, 95% CI 0.77-1.19, p = 0.668), and histology (OR = 0.72, 95% CI 0.48-1.10, p = 0.128) were not significantly different from high expression of MIAT. Conclusions: Our study showed that overexpression of MIAT is related to poor overall survival and clinicopathological features. MIAT can be considered a novel tumor marker to help diagnose tumors earlier and improve patient prognosis.
