Abstract:Objective To explore the relationship between long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) TUBA4B and prognosis of patients with type Ⅱ endometrial carcinoma (EC). Methods A total of 123 patients with type Ⅱ EC treated in the North China University of Science and Technology Affiliated Hospital from March 2013 to July 2017 were selected as the study subjects. Data on EC differentiation, International Federation of Gynecology and Obste-trics staging (FIGO staging) and treatment of patients were collected. The patients with type Ⅱ EC were divided into survival group (82 cases) and death group (41 cases) according to the three-year prognosis. The level of lncRNA TUBA4B in EC tissues was detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Receiver operator characteristic curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of lncRNA TUBA4B for the prognosis of EC. The patients were divided into high TUBA4B group (TUBA4B > 0.70, 93 cases) and low TUBA4B group (TUBA4B≤0.70, 30 cases) according to the optimal cut-off point of prognosis of type Ⅱ EC patients diagnosed. The survival of high TUBA4B group and low TUBA4B group were analyzed, and the risk factors for prognosis of EC were analyzed by Cox regression. The relationship between lncRNA TUBA4B and the prognosis of EC was analyzed by restrictive cubic spline fitting Cox regression. Results The three-year survival rate of type Ⅱ EC patients was 66.67%. The level of lncRNA TUBA4B in survival group was higher than that in death group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, sensitivity and specificity of LncRNA TUBA4B for the prognosis of type Ⅱ EC patients were 0.836, 63.41% and 95.12%, respectively. The median survival time of the high TUBA4B group was higher than that of the low TUBA4B group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that high FIGO stage and complex treatment were independent risk factors for prognosis of type Ⅱ EC (HR = 3.466, 1.751, P < 0.05). High degree of differentiation and high level of lncRNA TUBA4B were independent protective factors for prognosis of type Ⅱ EC (P < 0.05). The results of restrictive cubic spline fitting Cox regression analysis showed that lncRNA TUBA4B was correlated with the prognosis of type Ⅱ EC (P < 0.05), and the relationship was nonlinear (HR = 0.516, 0.073, P < 0.05). Concluson The level of LncRNA TUBA4B is associated with the prognosis of type Ⅱ EC, and a high level of LncRNA TUBA4B indicates a low risk of poor prognosis.
