Abstract

MicroRNA-23a (miR-23a) has been demonstrated to play an important role in the development of several types of cancer, but its role in tumorigenesis of laryngeal carcinoma is still unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression patterns and clinical implications of miR-23a in laryngeal cancer. Quantitative RT-PCR was performed to evaluate the expression level of miR-23a in 52 pairs of laryngeal cancer. Analysis between miR-23a expression and clinical features of laryngeal carcinomas was performed by appropriate statistical methods. Role of miR-23a in laryngeal cancer cell migration and invasion was detected via transwell and matrigel assays, respectively. miR-23a was significantly up-regulated in laryngeal cancer tissues compared to normal adjacent laryngeal tissues (P < 0.01). Tumors with high miR-23a expression had significantly greater extent of lymph node metastasis (P < 0.01), worse clinical stage (P < 0.05) and shorter overall five-year survival (P < 0.01) than those with low miR-23a expression. Both univariate and multivariate Cox hazard regression analysis results showed that clinical stage and miR-23a expression were significantly correlated with patient five-year survival (P < 0.01). miR-23a overexpression also significantly promoted laryngeal cancer cell migration and invasion in vitro. miR-23a, an independent prognostic factor for laryngeal cancer, participates in the onset and progression of laryngeal cancer.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 17 April 2015.
All research outputs
#20,273,512
of 22,805,349 outputs
Outputs from Diagnostic Pathology
#944
of 1,125 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#223,611
of 264,201 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diagnostic Pathology
#40
of 49 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,805,349 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,125 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.8. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 264,201 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 49 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
