Analysis of the Relationship between Serum miR-873 and miR-138-5p Expression and Immune Microenvironment and Prognosis in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum micro RNA(miRNAs)-873 and micro RNA-138-5p expression and tumor immune microenvironment(TIME)and prognosis in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods A total of 108 NSCLC patients(NSCLC group)and 65 healthy volunteers(control group)who were admitted to Ba'nan Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University from February 2019 to February 2021 were selected.Real-time quantitative fluorescence polymeric chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the expression of miR-873 and miR-138-5p in serum,and multiple immunofluorescence staining was used to detect tumor immune microenvironment indicators.Regular follow-up was conducted after discharge.Pearson analyzed the correlation between the expression of miR-873 and miR-138-5p in serum and the TIME index,and Kaplan-Meier and COX proportional risk regression analyzed the relationship between miR-873 and miR-138-5p and the prognosis of NSCLC patients.Results Comparison with control group,the expressions of miR-873(1.02±0.23 vs 3.15±0.82)and miR-138-5p(1.21±0.26 vs 3.54±0.92)in serum of NSCLC group were decreased,and the differences were statistically significant(t=-25.426,-24.769,all P＜0.05).The expressions of serum miR-873 and miR-138-5p of patients with low-to-moderate differentiation in TNM stages Ⅲ to Ⅳ were lower than those with highly differentiated patients in TNM stages Ⅰ to Ⅱ(t=9.615,10.253;6.889,3.361,all P＜0.05).The expressions of miR-873 and miR-138-5p in serum were negatively correlated with the values of PD-1,PD-L1,CD4 and CD8 H(r=-0.418～-0.673,all P＜0.05).The OS survival rate of NSCLC patients with low expression of miR-873 and miR-138-5p was lower than that of those with high expression of miR-873 and miR-138-5p(Log-Rankχ2=4.724,5.607,P＜0.05).TNM stage Ⅲ～Ⅳ was a risk factor for poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC(P＜0.05),and miR-873 and miR-138-5p were protective factors(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expressions of miR-873 and miR-138-5p in serum of NSCLC patients are down-regulated,which is related to TIME and low survival rate.
