Abstract
Aim: In this study, we aimed to examine the statistical association of serum expression of miR-661 and ATG-4b mRNA with HCC based on in silico data analysis followed by clinical validation. Patients & Methods: Bioinformatics prediction was first applied to retrieve the potential miR serving as an epigenetic regulator of ATG-4b mRNA. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction( RT-qPCR) were used to examine the expression of miR-661 and candidate target gene ATG-4b mRNA in 105 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, 50 chronic hepatitis C infected ( CHC) patients and 45 healthy controls. The prognostic efficacy of the chosen genes was also explored. Results: The expression of miR-661 and ATG-4B mRNA was positive in 97.14% and 77.14%, respectively. HCC patients with strong discriminating power between HCC and control showed AUC=0.9 and 0.8, respectively. The median follow up period was 28 months. The survival analysis showed that ATG-4b mRNA was not dependent on the prognostic factors. We also found that miR-661 was positively correlated with ATG-4b mRNA in patients 'sera samples. Conclusion: This is the first report about the considerable clinical use of miR-661 and ATG-4b mRNA in early detection and followup of HCC patients.Biography
