ABSTRACT
Gastric cancer is the second most common malignancy in China. However, the prognosis for gastric cancer patients remains poor. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether miR-451 was a potential prognostic biomarker for gastric cancer. Fresh tissues were immediately frozen in liquid nitrogen until use. The plasma was extracted and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect miR-451 expression. The Student’s t test analysis and multivariate Cox regression analysis were performed to analyze expression of miR-451. The analysis results showed that the expression level of miR-451 was decreased expression in gastric cancer tissue. The down-regulation of miR-451 tended to be positively correlated with tumor stage, lymphatic metastasis and shorter overall survival of patients. MiR-451 may be a potential biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for the diagnoses and prognosis of gastric cancer.
