Background technology
Primary hepatocarcinoma is high incidence common in world wide, the malignant tumour of high lethality rate, and wherein hepatocellular carcinoma (being called for short liver cancer, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, HCC) accounts for more than 90% of primary hepatocarcinoma." global cancer report 2014 " that the World Health Organization delivers points out, global liver cancer new cases in 2012 rank the 5th of malignant tumour, and its lethality rate then occupies second, and wherein Chinese liver cancer new is sent out and death all accounts for the half of global case.Owing to lacking effective examination means, be in late period when causing the liver cancer patient of 60%-70% to be diagnosed, miss radical excision chance.Visible, early diagnosis, early treatment increases liver cancer patient survival rate, reduces the most effective approach of mortality of liver cancer.
The generation evolution of liver cancer is the process of multifactor, multistage, multi-step.The liver cirrhosis that any reason causes is the modal Hazard Factor of liver cancer.In Asia, the hepatitis that chronic HBV (HBV) causes, liver cirrhosis are the topmost risk factors of induced hepatocellular carcinoma.Most liver cancer patient is with hepatitis and liver cirrhosis pathological change, and going through hepatitis, after the liver cirrhosis stage, finally developing into liver cancer, people are referred to as " liver cancer trilogy ".According to estimates, Chinese hepatitis B carriers quantity nearly 1.2 hundred million, wherein 20% will develop into chronic hepatitis B patient, and the chronic hepatitis B patient of 15%-40% then will be further development of liver cirrhosis.Therefore, long term monitoring is carried out to liver cancer high risk population, find early and early warning early hepatocarcinoma, be convenient to determine individuation control prece targetedly, delay the generation even preventing liver cancer, be conducive to improving life in patients.
The early detection research network (Early Detection Research Network, EDRN) that National Cancer Institute is founded clearly proposes the five steps of screening, assessment of cancer early sign thing: 1) screening finds possible marker molecules; 2) large-scale retrospective study analysis; 3) Detection results of retrospective analysis candidate markers in high risk population's sample of perspective collection; 4) Prospective Study candidate markers is to the Detection results of disease; 5) Prospective Clinical random test, examination general population.Detect or imaging examination examination liver cancer mainly through serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) clinically at present.Although AFP is used for Hepatocarcinoma screening for many years, the susceptibility of its diagnosis is not high enough: the AFP level of about 35-50% liver cancer patient is still lower than warning value (20ng/ml); The recall rate of AFP in early days in Hepatocarcinoma screening only 22%, is even low to moderate 3% (200ng/ml is threshold value) within diagnosis the previous year or several moon.Although what the Image Examinations such as ultrasonic, CT, MRI can detect as AFP supplements, but for long term follow-up examination then somewhat expensive, and the recall rate of these methods depends on the experience of tumor size and operator, the situation of thus may occur mistaken diagnosis, failing to pinpoint a disease in diagnosis.Therefore, find new hypersensitivity, high specific, and the cheap hepatocarcinoma early diagnosis mark being easy to again to detect has important clinical meaning.
MicroRNA is the endogenous small molecules non-coding RNA that a class is extensively present in eukaryote, and length is 18-24 Nucleotide (nt).MicroRNA suppresses the expression of target gene by post-transcriptional level, and the vital movement such as regulating cell differentiation, propagation, apoptosis, plays a significant role in the multiple physiology such as fetal development, organism metabolism, disease development and pathologic process.In recent years, researchist detects microRNA in the multiple body fluid such as blood, saliva, urine, proposes the concept of circulation microRNA.The humoral specimens such as blood are easy to obtain, and the clinical property grasped is strong and traumatic little, and circulation microRNA good stability, and it is convenient to detect, and therefore, circulation microRNA has the potential as the non-invasive biomarker of the diseases such as tumour, is applicable to high risk population's examination.
Recently research is pointed out, liver cancer patient and non-liver cancer contrast has different circulation microRNA express spectras.Such as, miR-21, miR-122, miR-223 level in liver cancer patient and HBV hepatitis serum is all higher than Healthy People; And the miR-21 raised in liver cancer patient blood plasma lowers after patient's surgical blanking; The people such as Li, by the routine individual serum microRNA express spectra of detection 513, determine the sort merge distinguishing HBV hepatitis and Healthy People and liver cancer patient and Healthy People; The people such as Zhou have detected the level of nearly thousand parts of plasma specimen microRNA, find by miR-122, miR-192, miR-21, miR-223, miR-26a, the sort module that seven circulation microRNA such as miR-27a and miR-801 are formed, liver cancer and all non-liver cancer colonies summation (comprising Healthy People, hepatitis, liver cirrhosis patient) can be distinguished, and the liver cancer of diagnosable AFP negative.These research prompting circulations microRNA is as the potential of diagnosing cancer of liver mark.
But still have the following disadvantages as the research of diagnosing cancer of liver mark about circulation microRNA at present: 1) major part research just picks the microRNAs alternatively index expressing imbalance at liver cancer tissue of forefathers' report, possibly cannot objectively respond the situation of circulation microRNA comprehensively; 2) part research sample size is few, lacks multicenter checking; 3) contrast arranges imperfection, is difficult to illustrate that the mark determined is the special diagnosis marker of liver cancer; 4) current all research is all the retrospective analysiss carried out in the sample being diagnosed as liver cancer, lacks the perspective study in high risk population, fails the value of microRNA for early hepatocarcinoma early warning that clearly circulates.Therefore, be still necessary the hepatocarcinoma early diagnosis mark finding to have clinical value at present, for the monitoring of liver cancer high risk population, thus the early stage small liver cancer of early warning early, be convenient to clinician and take appropriate prophylactico-therapeutic measures in time.
