Popis: To explore the associations between the expressions of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-135 and miR-92a and the pathogenesis of prostate cancer, as well as their clinical significance.A total of 40 prostate cancer patients were studied. The associations of expressions of miR-135 and miR-92a with the pathological Gleason score and expression of prostate specific antigen (PSA) were assessed, the sensitivity and specificity of miR-135 and miR-92a in the diagnosis of prostate cancer were compared, and the associations between the expressions of miR-135 and miR-92a and the prognosis of prostate cancer patients were evaluated.In patients with pathological Gleason score ≥8 points the expression level of miR-135 was significantly lower (p0.05), while that of miR-92a was significantly higher than those in patients with pathological Gleason score8 points (p0.05). In patients with PSA expression10 ng/mL the expression level of miR-135 was obviously lower (p0.05), while that of miR-92a was obviously higher than those in patients with PSA expression ≤10 ng/mL (p0.05). The expression of miR-135 was negatively correlated with the pathological Gleason score and PSA expression (p0.05), while the expression of miR-92a was positively correlated with the pathological Gleason score and PSA expression (p0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of miR-135 and miR-92a in the diagnosis were above 80% and about 70%, respectively. In miR-135-positive patients, the mean survival time was longer (p0.05) and the 2-year survival rate was higher than those in miR-135-negative patients (p0.05). In miR-92a-positive patients, the mean survival time was shorter (p0.05) and the 2-year survival rate was lower than those in miR-92a-negative patients (p0.05).The expressions of miR-135 and miR-92a are of certain value in screening prostate cancer. The prognosis and survival of patients are positively correlated with the miR-135 expression and negatively correlated with the miR-92a expression.
