Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and clinical significance of costimulatory molecule B7-H3 and microRNA-145 (miR-145) in lung cancer patients with malignant pleural effusion. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 100 cases of patients with lung cancer who admitted to our hospital for treatment from March 2017 to September 2018 were selected. Forty-nine cases of patients diagnosed with malignant pleural effusion were included in the study group, and 51 cases with benign pleural effusion in the control group. The content of B7-H3 in pleural effusion of the two groups was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression of miR-145 in pleural effusion of the two groups was analyzed by Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). The relationships between the expressions of B7-H3 and miR-145 and the clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. The diagnostic value of B7-H3 and miR-145 in lung cancer was analyzed. RESULTS: The expression level of B7-H3 in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (p<0.050), while the expression level of miR-145 was significantly lower than that in the control group (p<0.050). The expression levels of B7-H3 and miR-145 in the study group were correlated with lymph node metastasis, differentiation degree of lung cancer and TNM stage (p<0.001). The sensitivity and specificity of miR-145 in single diagnosis of lung cancer were 64.71% and 79.59%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of B7-H3 in single diagnosis of lung cancer were 80.39% and 61.22%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: B7-H3 and miR-145 are abnormally expressed in lung cancer, and are closely related to the lymphatic metastasis, differentiation degree and TNM stage of lung cancer. They may be potential markers for the diagnosis of malignant pleural effusion in lung cancer in the future.
