MRNA Profiling Involved in Triggering of STAT1 with Regulatory Involvement of IRF7, PTPRF, and miR-145p in Patients Suffering from Gall Bladder Carcinoma

BACKGROUND: Gall Bladder Cancer (GBC) is a type of extremely malignant tumor, which has high incidences of mortality. There is rare information about its mechanisms of invasion and gene expression regulations. microRNA-155 (miR-155) has mostly been reported to be over expressed in cases of solid tumors and hematopoietic malignancies. In this study, we have investigated the role and clinical significance of miR-155 in a Chinese population suffering from GBC and compared the results with nonneoplastic inflammation. METHODS: Tissue specimens were collected on 50 patients of Gall Bladder Carcinoma and 10 patients suffering from nonneoplastic inflammation who have undergone surgeries at the Department of Pathology, Renji Hospital, Shanghai, from January 2019 to January 2020. We performed profiling of miR-155 expression in both nonneoplastic and gall bladder carcinoma tissues by QRT-PCR. RESULTS: Expression levels of miR-155 were found to be extremely high in GBC patients in comparison to the nonneoplastic tissues ((∗)P < 0.05), as high miRNA is correlated with TNM stages. Further results noted were that miR-145-5p expressed genes mimic the gene expression of STAT1, a downregulation of IRF7 was noted in the GBC, and an activation of STAT1 was significantly noted in carcinoma cells of the gallbladder. Downregulation of PTPRF was also noted during the expression of miR-145. CONCLUSIONS: As downregulation of IRF7 is linked with low rates of survival, it was found that gall bladder carcinoma patients may face high mortality. The STAT-1 expression of unregulated in GBC patients was also noted.
