Bevacizumab confers significant improvements in survival for ovarian cancer patients with low miR-25 expression and high miR-142 expression

Abstract Background Lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI) is the first step of hematogenous metastasis. Exploration of the differential miRNA expression profiles between LVSI-positive and LVSI-negative ovarian cancer tissues may help to identify key miRNAs involved in the hematogenous metastasis of o...

Exploration of the differential miRNA expression profiles between LVSI-positive and LVSI-negative ovarian cancer tissues may help to identify key miRNAs involved in the hematogenous metastasis of ovarian cancer. This study is aimed to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) that are differentially expressed between LVSI-positive and LVSI-negative ovarian cancer tissues, followed by exploring their association with bevacizumab response in ovarian cancer patients. Methods The Cancer Genome Altas (TGGA) dataset was used to identify the differentially expressed miRNAs between LVSI-positive and LVSI-negative ovarian cancer tissues. The prognostic value of the differentially expressed miRNAs was determined using GSE140082 dataset. Results We showed that miR-25 and miR-142 were differentially expressed between LVSI-positive and LVSI-negative ovarian cancer tumors. Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that high miR-25 expression was associated with increased progression free survival (PFS) and extended overall survival (OS). Moreover, patients with low miR-25 expression benefited significantly from bevacizumab treatment in terms of PFS. A similar trend was observed in terms of OS though without reaching statistical significance. In contrast, no significant survival benefits from bevacizumab were observed in patients with high miR-25 expression in terms of PFS and OS. There was no significant correlation between miR-142 expression and PFS. In contrast, high miR-142 expression was associated with reduced OS. Moreover, patients with high miR-142 expression benefited significantly from bevacizumab treatment in terms of PFS and OS. However, bevacizumab treatment conferred no significant improvements in both PFS and OS in patients with low miR-142 expression. The nomogram for PFS indicated that miR-25 expression had a larger contribution to PFS than debulking status and bevacizumab treatment. And the nomogram for OS illustrated both miR-25 expression and miR-142 expression as sharing a larger contribution to OS than bevacizumab treatment and debulking status. Conclusion In conclusion, miR-25 expression correlates with a better PFS and OS in ovarian cancer.
