ABSTRACT: Purpose:miR-191 and miR-425 have been proved to be highly expressed in gastric carcinoma (GC). However, little research has been done on their clinical value in serum of patients with advanced GC. In addition, it is not clear whether they can be used as markers for the response and prognosis of GC patients treated with oxaliplatin combined with 5-fluorouracil and FOLFOX chemotherapy. Patients and Methods:A total of 230 patients with advanced GC admitted to our hospital were selected as the study objects, all of whom received FOLFOX chemotherapy regimen. Another 100 cases of healthy subjects were included. QRT-PCR was employed to detect the serum expression of miR-191 and miR-425 in patients. Results:Compared with the healthy subjects, the serum expressions of miR-191 and miR-425 in GC patients were significantly upregulated, which were correlated with differentiation degree and TNM staging, respectively. According to the ROC curve, the AUC of miR-191 and miR-425 for GC diagnosis was 0.937 and 0.901, respectively, while the AUC for differentiation degree diagnosis was 0.854 and 0.822, and that for TNM staging diagnosis was 0.860 and 0.829, respectively. The predictive AUC of miR-191 and miR-425 for chemosensitivity was 0.868 and 0.835, respectively, with a combined predictive AUC of 0.935. Low differentiation degree, high TNM staging, high miR-191 and high miR-425 expressions were independent risk factors for chemotherapy insensitivity. Differentiation degree, TNM staging, chemotherapy effect, miR-191 and miR-425 were independent influencing factors for the prognosis of GC patients. Conclusion:Up-regulated expression of miR-191 and miR-425 in the serum of patients with advanced GC are effective biomarkers for the diagnosis, chemotherapy and prognosis evaluation of GC.
