Abstract: Objective To investigate the clinical significance of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA) small nuclear RNA host gene 15(SNHG15) in gastric cancer. Methods A total of 97 patients with gastric cancer who underwent elective radical surgery were enrolled. The clinical data of all the patients were collected,and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(PCR) was used to determine the relative expression levels of SNHG15 in gastric cancer tissue and normal gastric mucosal tissue. All the patients were followed up for 5 years from the 1st day after the operation. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier survival curve,and prognostic factors were analyzed by Cox proportional hazard model. Results The relative expression level of SNHG15 in gastric cancer tissue was higher than that in normal gastric mucosal tissue(P<0.001). The differences of the relative expression levels of SNHG15 in gastric cancer tissues with different degree of differentiation,TNM stage,depth of invasion and lymph node metastasis had statistical significance(P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival curve analysis showed that the average survival time and 5-year survival rate of patients in low expression(SNHG15≤2.18) group were higher than those in high expression(SNHG15>2.18) group(P<0.001). Cox proportional hazard model analysis showed that poorly differentiation,TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ,lymph node metastasis and the expression of SNHG15 were risk factors that affected the prognosis of gastric cancer patients [hazard ratios(HR) were 0.381,2.568,2.892 and 4.851]. Conclusions The expression of SNHG15 in gastric cancer tissues is increased significantly,and it is related to the prognosis of patients,or can be used as a potential marker for gastric cancer mechanism research and prognosis evaluation.
