Abstract

The current study aimed to evaluate the expression and specific role of miR‑26a‑5p in the progression of bladder cancer (BC). Reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed to evaluate the level of miR‑26a‑5p in BC cancer and healthy controls. The present data showed that plasma miR‑26a‑5p was significantly increased in BC patients. Furthermore, BC tissues exhibited greater levels of miR‑26a‑5p compared with adjacent non‑neoplastic tissues‑26a‑5p. Compared with BC patients at Ta‑T1 stage, the level of miR‑26a‑5p was significantly elevated in BC patients ≥T2. BC patients at G3 stage demonstrated a higher plasma miR‑26a‑5p level compared with those at G1/2 stage. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis indicated that miR‑26a‑5p could differentiate BC patients from controls. Additionally, Kaplan‑Meier analysis demonstrated that plasma miR‑26a‑5p negatively correlated with survival of BC patients. Dual luciferase reporter assay indicated that miR‑26a‑5p significantly suppressed the relative luciferase activity of pmirGLO‑PTEN‑3'UTR compared with the control. In conclusion, the current study indicated novel data that the levels of plasma miR‑26a‑5p was significantly increased in BC patients. Furthermore, the present study suggested that determination of plasma miR‑26a‑5p level could help to distinguish BC patients from healthy controls via targeting PTEN.
