ObjectiveTo investigate the expressions of serum miR-1305 and miR-145 in patients with bladder cancer and their clinical significance. MethodsA total of 83 patients with bladder cancer were selected and regarded as bladder cancer group, and 83 healthy volunteers as control group. The expressions of serum miR-1305 and miR-145 were compared between the bladder cancer group and the control group, and between bladder cancer patients with different clinicopathological characteristics. The 3-year survival rate was compared between bladder cancer patients with different miR-1305 and miR-145 expressions. The multivariate COX regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for prognosis in patients with bladder cancer. The diagnostic value of serum miR-1305 and miR-145 expressions on bladder cancer was analyzed by employing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. ResultsThe expressions of serum miR-1305 and miR-145 in the bladder cancer group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). The proportions of high-expressed serum miR-1305 and miR-145 in bladder cancer patients in TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ, with lymph nodes metastasis, and with poorly differentiated degree were lower than those in TNM stage Ⅰ+Ⅱ, without lymph nodes metastasis, and with medium/high differentiated degree, respectively; moreover, the proportion of high-expressed serum miR-1305 in bladder cancer patients with tumor diameter>3 cm was lower than that with tumor diameter≤3 cm (P<0.05). The 3-year survival rates of bladder cancer patients in high-expressed serum miR-1305 and miR-145 were higher than those in low-expressed serum miR-1305 and miR-145, respectively (P<0.05). TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ and lymph nodes metastasis were the risk factors for 3-year postoperative death in patients with bladder cancer, while high expressions of serum miR-1305 and miR-145 were its protective factors (P<0.05). The areas under the curve (AUC) of serum miR-1305 and miR-145 expressions for diagnosing bladder cancer were 0.779 and 0.783, respectively, and AUC of combined diagnosis of the two for bladder cancer was 0.874, which was larger than that of diagnosis by single index (P<0.05). ConclusionThe expressions of serum miR-1305 and miR-145 in patients with bladder cancer are down-regulated, which is closely related to the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients. The combined detection of the two exerts a relatively high diagnostic value for bladder cancer.
