Abstract:

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) XIST and miR-101-3p in cervical cancer. METHODS: Cervical cancer tissues and matched non-tumor para-neoplastic tissues were collected from 58 patients. Quantitative real-time PCR was used to examine the expression of LncRNA XIST and miR-101-3p,the correlation between them and their correlation with clinicopathological features were analyzed. RESULTS: LncRNA XIST expression was significantly up-regulated in cervical cancer tissues than in adjacent non-tumor tissues (P < 0.05). The expression of miR-101-3p was significantly down-regulated in cervical cancer tissues as compared with the adjacent tissues (P < 0.05).The expression of them in nucleic acid levels were negatively correlated(r=-0.68,P=0.000) and correlated significantly with FIGO stage,lymph node metastasis,and tissue size of tumor (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that LncRNA XIST and miR-101-3p may be potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for cervical cancer. The expression of LncRNA XIST and miR-101-3p was negatively correlated.
