Circulating Serum MiRNA-8074 as a Novel Prognostic Biomarker for Multiple Myeloma.

ABSTRACT: MiRNA-8074 is a molecule with the potential to regulate the expression of key genes related to the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM), i.e., TP53, MYC, MAPK1, and KIAA. We analyzed the predictive and prognostic value of miRNA-8074 expression in MM patients. In total, 105 newly diagnosed MM patients treated with thalidomide (n = 27), bortezomib (n = 41) and bortezomib with thalidomide (n = 37) were studied. For miRNA analysis, the column method and the Real-Time PCR technique with specific TaqMan Fast Advanced Master Mix and TaqMan probes were used. Factors that were associated with a significant reduction in progression-free survival (PFS) included: ECOG > 1, ISS stage III, low hemoglobin, thrombocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, abnormal renal function, elevated c
