MicroRNA-34, microRNA-130, microRNA-148, microRNA-181, microRNA-194 and microRNA-605 expression in colon cancer tissue

Abstract

Purpose of the study. Determination of the expression of microRNA‑34, microRNA‑130, microRNA‑148, microRNA‑181, microRNA‑194 and microRNA‑605 in colon tumor tissue depending on the clinical and morphological features of the tumor and the effectiveness of treatment.Materials and methods. The study included 56 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer aged 43 to 75 years with the average age of 54 years. Taking into account the local prevalence of the process patients received surgical or combined treatment, including neoadjuvant chemotherapy, in the clinics of the Cancer Research Institute, Tomsk NRMC. MicroRNA expression was determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in real time.Results. The obtained information revealed the relation of microRNA‑130 to the tumor size. The development of regional metastases was associated with changes in microRNA‑130, microRNA‑194 and microRNA‑605. The level of histological organization of the tumor was associated with microRNA‑34, microRNA‑130, microRNA‑148, and the response to therapy – with microRNA‑130, microRNA‑148 and microRNA‑605. In addition, according to the study, the significance of microRNA‑130 was revealed, which is associated with tumor spread, histological differentiation and response to antitumor therapy.Conclusion. The features of expression of microRNA‑34, microRNA‑130, microRNA‑148, microRNA‑181, microRNA‑194 and microRNA‑605 associated with clinical and morphological features of colon tumors were revealed. Correlations between the studied indicators are noted, which probably determine the outcome and prognosis of the disease.
