ABSTRACT The present work aimed to explore the prognostic values of lncRNA TC0101441 (TC0101441) in patients with gastric cancer (GC). The expression of TC0101441 in a total of 159 GC specimens and matched normal specimens was detected by quantitative RT-PCR. ROC assays were conducted to determine the diagnostic value of TC0101441 expression in GC patients. The association of TC0101441 expression with clinical characteristics of 159 patients was analyzed using chi-square test. Kaplan-Meier methods were employed to determine the prognostic value of TC0101441 expression in the survival rate of GC patients. Multivariate Cox regression assays were used to identify whether TC0101441 could be a prognostic biomarker for GC patients. We found that TC0101441 expression was significantly increased in GC specimens compared to that in the normal specimens (P < 0.01). High TC0101441 expression was correlated with lymphatic metastasis (P = 0.027) and TNM stage (P = 0.015). TC0101441 could distinguish GC specimens from adjacent normal gastric specimens with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.8082. Survival data revealed that patients with high TC0101441 expression had worse overall survival (P = 0.0009) and disease-free survival (P < 0.0001) rates than those with low TC0101441 expression. Multivariate assays showed that TC0101441 expression was an independent biomarker for GC patients. The present study suggested that TC0101441 expression was increased in GC and may be aprognostic and diagnostic biomarker for GC. PMID:337 86153 | PMC:PMC7994149 View on the web Inoreader.
