Abstract:

Objective To investigate the expression level of microRNA-433(miR-433) in patients with endometrial cancer and its relationship with chemotherapy sensitivity. Methods From May 2019 to July 2020,98 endometrial cancer patients in Nanyang Central Hospital were enrolled as endometrial cancer group. The clinical data were collected. According to the determination of sensitivity after 4 cycles of chemotherapy,the patients with endometrial cancer were classified into sensitive group(79 cases) and insensitive group(19 cases). Tumor tissues and paracancer tissues (3 cm from the edge of tumors)removed after chemotherapy were collected. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR) was used to determine the expression level of miR-433. Multiple Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the factors affecting the chemotherapy sensitivity of endometrial cancer. Results Compared with adjacent tissue,the expression level of miR-433 in endometrial cancer tissue was lower(P<0.05). The expression level of miR-433 in patients with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO) stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ,lymph metastasis and low differentiated endometrial cancer was lower than that in patients with FIGO stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ,non-lymph metastasis and medium/high differentiated endometrial cancer(P<0.05). Compared with sensitive group,the expression level of miR-433 in insensitive group was decreased(P<0.05). Tumor diameter,FIGO stage,lymph metastasis and the degree of tissue differentiation were related to chemotherapy sensitivity(P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that FIGO stage and miR-433 relative expression level were risk factors affecting the chemotherapy sensitivity of endometrial cancer [odds ratios(OR) were 2.716 and 0.847,95% confidence intervals(CI) were 1.420-5.196 and 0.766-0.936,respectively]. Conclusions MiR-433 is low-expressed in endometrial cancer tissues,which is a factor affecting chemotherapy sensitivity.
