摘要: 目的 探讨微小RNA-155(miR-155)联合超声对分化型甲状腺癌淋巴结转移的诊断价值。方法 选取接受治疗的分化型甲状腺癌患者112例作为甲状腺癌组,另选取同期收治的结节性甲状腺肿患者30例作为良性对照组。采用实时荧光定量PCR(qPCR)检测2组患者血清及组织中miR-155的相对表达量,分析分化型甲状腺癌患者血清及组织中miR-155的表达与临床病理参数的关系。采用受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析术前超声以及血清miR-155对分化型甲状腺癌淋巴结转移的诊断价值。结果 甲状腺癌组的血清及组织中miR-155的相对表达量均明显高于良性对照组(P<0.01),有淋巴结转移、肿瘤直径>2 cm、TNM分期Ⅲ+Ⅳ期的患者血清及组织中miR-155的相对表达量分别高于无淋巴结转移、肿瘤直径≤2 cm、TNM分期Ⅰ+Ⅱ期的患者(均P<0.05)。ROC结果显示,超声以及血清miR-155对分化型甲状腺癌淋巴结转移均有一定的诊断价值,曲线下面积分别为:0.839(95%CI:0.760~0.919)、0.837(95%CI:0.763~0.912),但漏诊率和误诊率均超过10%。两者联合应用后对分化型甲状腺癌淋巴结转移的诊断价值可得到进一步的提升,曲线下面积为0.912(95%CI:0.851~0.973),漏诊率和误诊率也降至10%以下。结论 血清miR-155联合超声对分化型甲状腺癌淋巴结转移的诊断价值较高,具有一定的临床应用价值。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the value of microRNA-155 (miR-155) combined with ultrasound in the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis in differentiated thyroid carcinoma. Methods A total of 112 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer who were treated in our hospital were selected as thyroid cancer group, and 30 patients with nodular goiter in the same period were selected as benign control group. Real time quantitative PCR (qPCR) was used to detect the relative expression of miR-155 in serum and tissue in the two groups of patients. The relationship between the expression of miR-155 in serum and tissue of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer and clinical pathological parameters was analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of preoperative ultrasound and serum miR-155 for lymph node metastasis of differentiated thyroid cancer. Results The relative expressions of miR-155 in serum and tissue were significantly higher in thyroid cancer group than those in benign control group (P<0.01). The relative expression levels of miR-155 in serum and tissue were significantly higher in patients with lymph node metastasis, tumor size>2 cm and TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ than those in patients without lymph node metastasis, tumor size≤ 2 cm and TNM stageⅠ+Ⅱ (all P<0.05). ROC results showed that ultrasound and serum miR-155 had certain diagnostic value for lymph node metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma. The area under the curve was 0.839 (95%CI: 0.760-0.919) and 0.837 (95%CI: 0.763-0.912), respectively. But the missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate were more than 10%. The combined application of the two methods could further improve the diagnostic value of lymph node metastasis of differentiated thyroid cancer, the area under the curve was 0.912 (95%CI: 0.851-0.973), and the missed diagnosis rate and misdiagnosis rate were also reduced to less than 10%. Conclusion The serum miR-155 combined with ultrasound has high diagnostic value for the lymph node metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma, which has certain clinical application value.
