Human microRNA‐182‐5p and kinectin 1: Potential biomarkers for prognosis in oral squamous cell carcinoma

Abstract

Background

The prognostic impact of hsa-miRNA-182-5p in oral cancer remains unexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of hsa-miRNA-182-5p and its predicted target kinectin 1 (KTN1) in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Method

Expression level of hsa-miRNA-182-5p was analyzed in tumor tissue (n = 36) and healthy oral mucosal tissue (n = 17) using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Protein level of the predicted target KTN1 was detected via immunohistochemistry. Results were validated in a cohort of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Results

After dividing the data into a subgroup with high and low hsa-miRNA-182-5p expression level, a significant better overall (p = 0.016), recurrence-free (p = 0.009), and progression-free survival (p = 0.004) was observed in an upregulation of hsa-miRNA-182-5p. Staining intensity of KTN1 showed a reciprocal impact on the prognosis. Validation in a TCGA cohort confirmed these results.

Conclusion

Our results indicate hsa-miRNA-182-5p and KTN1 as potential biomarkers for OSCC.
