Abstract

The aim of the current study was to assess the expression and clinical significance of serum microRNA (miR)‑484 in patients with non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to determine the expression of miR‑484 in the serum of patients with NSCLC and NSCLC cell lines. Cell counting kit‑8, flow cytometry, cell migration and cell invasion assays were performed to assess the role of miR‑484 in the malignant changes associated with NSCLC cells. Furthermore, to assess the diagnostic value of miR‑484, receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis was performed and the clinical relevance of serum miR‑484 expression in patients with NSCLC was determined. A Kaplan‑Meier analysis with the log‑rank test was performed to assess the overall survival rate patients. To the best of our knowledge, the current study demonstrates for the first time that serum miR‑484 was increased in patients with NSCLC compared with healthy controls. Additionally, serum miR‑484 was revealed to be positively associated with histological grade, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis and clinical stage. Patients with NSCLC and high serum miR‑484 levels demonstrated significantly poorer overall survival rates compared with those exhibiting lower serum miR‑484 expressions. ROC analysis revealed that serum miR‑484 could screen patients with NSCLC patients from healthy controls with a high sensitivity and specificity. In vitro analysis also demonstrated that miR‑484 was significantly upregulated in NSCLC cell lines, including 95D and H358 cells. Furthermore, the suppression of miR‑484 decreased cell proliferation, cell migration and invasion. In summary, the results of the present study demonstrated that increased serum miR‑484 expression is associated with the diagnosis and prognosis of patients with NSCLC.
