Expression of gene and miR-363 in colorectal cancer and the relationship with clinicopathological features.

Expression of gene and miR-363 in colorectal cancer was studied to explore its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics of colorectal cancer and to analyze the value of combined with miR-363 in the diagnosis of colorectal cancer. In total, 85 patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer in the First Peoples Hospital of Xiaoshan Hangzhou from March 2014 to July 2016 were the experiment group. Seventy healthy individuals who underwent physical examination were the control group. RT-qPCR was used to detect the expression levels of gene and miR-363 in peripheral blood of the two groups. The relationship between the expression of and miR-363 with its clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed as well. The expression of in the experiment group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). The expression level of miR-363 was significantly lower than in the control group (P<0.05). However, there was a correlation with tumor size, degree of differentiation, lymph node metastasis, depth of invasion and clinical stages (P<0.05). and miR-363 were significantly positively correlated with the degree of differentiation (r=0.7381, r=0.5375; P<0.05); and miR-363 were significantly negatively correlated with clinical stages (r=-0.7167, -0.6700; P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the combined test was larger than the single test. The expression of gene and miR-363 in peripheral blood of patients with colorectal cancer was lower than in the normal controls. The low expression of and miR-363 was closely related to various biological behaviors of colorectal cancer. A potential reference is provided for the evaluation of patients with colorectal cancer and expected to have an important guiding effect in the treatment of colorectal cancer. Moreover, combined test of and miR-363 has important significance in the diagnosis and treatment evaluation of colorectal cancer.
