Background
MicroRANs (miRNAs) have been reported to be involved in various human cancers. The aim of this study was to explore the diagnostic performance of urine miR-200c in bladder cancer.
Methods
Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) method was applied to measure the relative expression of urine miR-200c in bladder cancer patients. The relationship between urine miR-200c level and clinicopathological factors was analyzed using χ2 test. The diagnostic capacity of urine miR-200c was calculated using the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis.
Results
Urinary level of miR-200c was significantly reduced in bladder cancer patients compared with healthy controls (P=0.000). Furthermore, urine miR-200c expression was strongly correlated with histologic grade (P=0.019), tumor grade (P=0.003), and lymph node metastasis (P=0.001). ROC curve showed that urine miR-200c could distinguish bladder cancer patients from healthy controls with an area under the curve of 0.844. The cutoff value of 1.235, with the sensitivity of 89.0% and the specificity of 70.7% respectively.
Conclusion
Urine miR-200c may act as a noninvasive diagnostic biomarker for bladder cancer.
