摘要: 目的:探讨miRNA-324-3p及其靶基因WNT2B在鼻咽癌组织中的表达和临床意义。 方法:qRT-PCR技术检测miRNA-324-3p、WNT2B mRNA的相对表达量,Western blot技术检测WNT2B蛋白在39例鼻咽癌组织及21例鼻咽非肿瘤上皮组织中的表达,分析其表达水平与鼻咽癌临床病理特征的关系。结果:在鼻咽癌组织中miRNA-324-3p的相对表达量显著下调(P<0.01),WNT2B mRNA和蛋白的相对表达量则显著上调(均P<0.01)。鼻咽癌组织中miRNA-324-3p与WNT2B mRNA及蛋白的表达呈负相关,WNT2B mRNA与蛋白的表达呈正相关(均P<0.05)。miRNA-324-3p、WNT2B mRNA及蛋白的表达均与鼻咽癌患者T分级、临床分期及淋巴结转移密切相关(均P<0.05),而与患者的性别、年龄无明显相关性(均P>0.05)。结论:鼻咽癌组织中miRNA-324-3p的表达下调,WNT2B 的表达上调,两者可能存在相互关系,共同介导鼻咽癌的发生、发展。

Abstract: Objective:To investigate the expression and significance of miRNA-324-3p and its target gene WNT2B in tissue specimens of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) specimens. Method:qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of miRNA-324-3p and WNT2B mRNA, and Western blot was applied to assay the expression of WNT2B protein in 39 cases of NPC specimens and 21 cases of non-carcinoma epithelium. The relationship between their expression levels and clinicopathological characteristics and their correlation with clinical pathological parameters was analyzed. Result:The expression of miRNA-324-3p was significantly down-regulateddecreased but WNT2B mRNA/protein increased obviously in NPC specimens(P<0.01). A negative correlation between miRNA-324-3p and WNT2B was spotted(P<0.05). The expression levels of these markers were closely correlated with T stage, clinic stage and cervical lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). Conclusion:The loss of miRNA-324-3p and ectopic WNT2B might co-induce the initiation and progression of NPC.-
