The expression of microRNA-340 and cyclin D1 and its relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of lung cancer

摘要

BackgroundTo explore the expression of microribonucleic acid-340 (miR-340) and cyclin D1 (CCND1) in lung cancer (LC) tissues and its relationship with the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of LC.MethodsCancer tissues and paracancerous normal lung tissues of 65 patients with LC admitted to our hospital from January 2014 to March 2015 were included as the LC group, and the paracancerous group, respectively.ResultsThe relative expression levels of miR-340 mRNA and miR-340 protein in the LC group were lower than those in the paracancerous group, while the relative expression levels of CCND1 mRNA and CCND1 protein in the LC group were higher than those in the paracancerous group (P?
