Abstract

The expression levels of micro ribonucleic acid‑183 (miR-183) and miR-141 in the lesion tissues of infected abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) and their relationship with prognosis were investigated. Thirty-six patients with IAAA admitted and who underwent vascular surgery in People's Hospital of Shenzhen from June 2003 to June 2013 were selected. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was utilized to detect the expression levels of miR-183 and miR-141 in lesion tissues and adjacent tissues 1 cm away from the aneurysm in 36 patients with IAAA. The relationship between the expression levels of miR-183 and miR-141 as well as the clinicopathological features of patients with IAAA were analyzed, and the factors influencing the prognosis of IAAA were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. The expression levels of miR-183 and miR-141 were significantly downregulated in the lesions of patients with IAAA, and miR-183 and miR-141 levels in the lesion tissues of the IAAA patients were significantly lower than those in the adjacent tissues (P<0.05). The expression levels of miR-183 and miR-141 were not related to sex, age, history of hypertension, and alcoholism (P>0.05), but they were related to smoking history or aneurysm size (P<0.05). The overall survival rate of patients with IAAA was 41.6% (15/36). The multivariate analysis found that aneurysm size, low expression of miR-183, and low expression of miR-141 were independent factors affecting the prognosis of patients with IAAA. In conclusion, the expression levels of miR-183 and miR-141 in the lesion tissues of IAAA are low, and the lower the expression level is, the worse the prognosis gets. miR-183 and miR-141 can be used as predictors of prognosis in patients with IAAA.
