Associations of miR-181a with Health-Related Quality of Life, Cognitive Functioning, and Clinical Data of Patients with Different Grade Glioma Tumors
Gliomas are central nervous system tumors with a lethal prognosis. Small micro-RNA molecules participate in various biological processes, are tissue-specific, and, therefore, could be promising targets for cancer treatment. Thus, this study aims to examine miR-181a as a potent biomarker for the diag...

description | Gliomas are central nervous system tumors with a lethal prognosis. Small micro-RNA molecules participate in various biological processes, are tissue-specific, and, therefore, could be promising targets for cancer treatment. Thus, this study aims to examine miR-181a as a potent biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of glioma patients and, for the first time, to find associations between the expression level of miR-181a and patient quality of life (QoL) and cognitive functioning. The expression level of miR-181a was analyzed in 78 post-operative II-IV grade gliomas by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The expression profile was compared with patient clinical data (age, survival time after the operation, tumor grade and location, mutation status of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1), and promoter methylation of O-6-methylguanine methyltransferase). Furthermore, the health-related QoL was assessed using the Karnofsky performance scale and the quality of life questionnaires; while cognitive assessment was assessed by the Hopkins verbal learning test-revised, trail-making test, and phonemic fluency tasks. The expression of miR-181a was significantly lower in tumors of grade III and IV and was associated with IDH1 wild-type gliomas and a worse prognosis of patient overall survival. Additionally, a positive correlation was observed between miR-181a levels and functional status and QoL of glioma patients. Therefore, miR-181a is a unique molecule that plays an important role in gliomagenesis, and is also associated with changes in patients’ quality of life. |
