Metastatik Akciğer Kanserli Hastaların Periferik Kanında Yeni Aday Biyomarker: Yüksek DICER1 Ekspresyon Düzeyi

Amaç: Akciğer kanseri, dünyada kansere bağlı insidans ve mortalite açısından birinci sırada yer almaktadır. Kanserin multifaktoriyel bir hastalık olması nedeniyle kanserle ilişkili mekanizmaların aydınlatılmaya çalışılması oldukça önem taşımaktadır. Kanserle yakından ilgili olan miRNA aktivitesinin çeşitli mekanizmalarla bozulduğu bilinmektedir. Bu mekanizmalardan biri de miRNA işlenmesi sırasında meydana gelen moleküler değişikliklerdir. DICER1, microRNA biyogenezinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Çalışmamızda, akciğer kanserli hastaların periferik kan lenfositlerinde DICER1 gen ifade düzeyinin sağlıklı kişilerle karşılaştırılarak metastatik akciğer kanseri gelişimindeki etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma grubu yeni tanı almış ve daha önce hiç tedavi görmemiş 47 akciğer kanserli hasta ile 45 sağlıklı kişinin periferik kan örneklerinden oluşturuldu. Araştırılan DICER1 hedef geni, HPRT1 referans geni ile eş zamanlı olarak Gerçek-Zamanlı PCR yöntemiyle incelendi. Akciğer kanser hastalarına ait gen ekspresyon düzeyi ile sağlıklı kişilerden oluşan kontrol grubu DICER1 gen ekspresyon sonuçları karşılaştırıldı. Sonuçlar 2-ΔΔCT metodu kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Sonuçlar: Akciğer kanser hastalarının periferik kan lenfositlerinde DICER1 gen ifade düzeyinin (2-ΔΔCt) kontrol grubuna göre 1,756 kat arttığı, bu artmış ekspresyon düzeyinin istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı (p

A New Candidate Biomarker in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Metastatic Lung Cancer: High DICER1 Expression Level

Objective: Lung cancer is in the first place in the world in terms of cancerrelated incidence and mortality. Since cancer is a multifactorial disease, it is very important to try to illuminate the mechanisms associated with cancer. It is known that miRNA activity, which is closely related to carcinogenesis, is impaired with various mechanisms. One of these mechanisms is the molecular changes that occur during miRNA process. DICER1 has an important function in microRNA biogenesis. In our study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of DICER1 gene expression level on metastatic lung cancer development. Material and Method: The study groups consist of peripheral blood samples of 47 patients with metastatic lung cancer who had recently been diagnosed but had never been treated and 45 healthy people. The investigated DICER1 target gene was examined simultaneously with the HPRT1 reference gene by using the Real-Time PCR method. The results of DICER1 gene expression levels of patients and those of healthy individuals were compared. The results were evaluated by using the 2-ΔΔCT method. Results: The expression level of DICER1 gene in the peripheral blood lymphocytes of patients with metastatic lung cancer was increased by 1.756 (2-ΔΔCt) fold compared to the healthy control group and the increased expression level was statistically significant, p
