The Potential Role of Circulating Long Miscellaneous RNAs in the Diagnosis and Prognosis of Hepatitis C Related Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Ribonucleic acids (RNAs) are important regulators of gene expression and crucial for the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study was designed to determine the diagnostic and prognostic utility of the circulating long miscellaneous RNAs; LINC01419, AK021443, and AF070632 in HCV-related HCC patients. Real-time PCR was used to measure their relative expression levels in the plasma of 194 HCV patients, 120 HCV-related HCC patients and 120 healthy controls. LINC01419 and AK021443 expression levels had significantly increasing linear trend estimates while AF070632 was dramatically downregulated in HCC compared to HCV. Interestingly, LINC01419 and AK021443 served as more significant diagnostic biomarkers for HCC than AF070632 and AFP. Multivariate analysis with cox regression revealed that the high expression of AK021443 [HR = 10.06, CI95%: 3.36-30.07], the high expression of LINC01419 [HR 4.13, CI95%: 1.32-12.86], and the low expression of AF070632 [HR = 2.70, CI95%: 1.07-6.81] were significant potential prognostic factors for HCC. Besides, the Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that HCC patients with high LIN01419 and AK021443 and low AF070632 expression levels had shorter OS. The circulating LINC01419 and AK021443 can be used as noninvasive potential biomarkers for diagnosis and prognosis of HCV-related HCC patients than AF070632 providing new targets for limiting the progression of the disease.
