Impact Of Mirna-181a2 On The Clinical Course Of Idh1 Wild Type Glioblastoma
PROCESSES(2021)
摘要
Background: Recently, miRNA-181a2 could be identified as a major regulator of IDH1 expression in fat tissue. The IDH1 gene, its mutation and expression have a major impact on overall survival in patients with glioblastoma. The presented study aimed to investigate the effect of miRNA-181a2 on IDH1 expression in glioblastoma and on the prognosis of patients suffering from, for example, a tumor. Methods: A total of 74 glioblastoma specimens were analyzed for the expression of miRNA-181a2, acquired as fold change, using qRT-PCR. IDH1 protein expression was estimated via mRNA quantification. Eight post mortal, non-glioma related brain tissue specimens served as the control group. The results were correlated with relevant demographic and clinical aspects of the cohort. A TCGA dataset was used as an independent reference. Results: MiRNA-181a2 was significantly downregulated in tumor samples compared to the control group (p < 0.001). In the glioblastoma cohort, 63/74 (85.1%) showed an IDH1 wild type, while 11/74 (14.9%) patients harbored an IDH 1 mutation. In patients with IDH1 wild type glioblastoma, low miRNA-181a2 expression correlated with a prolonged overall survival (p = 0.019), also verifiable in an independent TCGA dataset. This correlation could not be identified for patients with an IDH1 mutation. MiRNA-181a2 expression tended to correlate inversely with IDH1 protein expression (p = 0.06). Gross total resection of the tumor was an independent marker for a prolonged survival (p = 0.03). Conclusion: MiRNA-181a2 seems to be a promising prognostic marker of selective glioblastoma patients with IDH1 wild type characteristics. This effect may be mediated via direct regulation of IDH1 expression.
