Abstract:Objective To investigate the relationship of tissue miR-101 and miR-182 levels with clinicopathologic features and prognosis in patients with colorectal cancer.Methods Eight three patients who were admitted to the hospital from April 2015 to January 2018 for radical resection of colorectal cancer were selected and followed up for 5 years. The relative expression levels of miR-101 and miR-182 in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of all patients were detected. The relative expression levels of miR-101 and miR-182 in cancer tissues and adjacent tissues were compared. The expressions of miR-101 and miR-182 in cancer tissues of colorectal cancer patients with different clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Factors influencing postoperative recurrence and metastasis in patients with colorectal cancer were analyzed. The relationship between the expression of miR-101 and miR-182 and postoperative recurrence and metastasis in cancer tissues of colorectal cancer patients was analyzed.Results The relative expression level of miR-101 in cancer tissue was lower than that in paracancer tissue, and that of miR-182 was higher than that in paracancer tissue (P < 0.05). The relative expression level of miR-101 in cancer tissues of colorectal cancer patients with low differentiation, stage Ⅲ, serous invasion, and lymph node metastasis was lower than that of patients with medium and high differentiation, stage Ⅱ, no serous invasion, and lymph node metastasis, respectively (P < 0.05). The relative expression level of miR-182 in cancer tissues of colorectal cancer patients with low differentiation, stage Ⅲ, serous invasion, and lymph node metastasis was higher than that of patients with medium and high differentiation, stage Ⅱ, no serous invasion, and lymph node metastasis, respectively (P < 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed: pathological stage [R^R = 7.294 (95% CI: 3.001, 17.726) ], differentiation degree [R^R = 5.150 (95% CI: 2.119, 12.516) ], relative expression level of miR-101 [R^R = 4.477 (95% CI: 1.842, 10.881) ], and relative expression of miR-182 [R^R = 4.495 (95% CI: 1.850, 10.925) ] were factors affecting postoperative recurrence and metastasis of colorectal cancer patients (P < 0.05). The disease-free survival curve of patients with high expression of miR-101 was better than that of patients with low expression (P < 0.05). The disease-free survival curve of patients with low expression of miR-182 was better than that of patients with high expression (P < 0.05).Conclusion The expression of miR-101 and miR-182 in cancer tissues of colorectal cancer patients is related to clinicopathological features and prognosis, and patients with low expression of miR-101 and high expression of miR-182 have a high risk of recurrence and metastasis after treatment.
