Abstract

Background: Evidence indicates that let-7 of microRNA may be a prognostic factor in lung cancer. Genetic variation in microRNA precursors could influence the processing and expression of microRNAs, which could affect the prognosis of lung cancer. We aimed to investigate the impact of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of pri-let-7 on the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Method: A total of 761 patients with surgically resected NSCLC were included. Four SNPs (pri-let-7a-2 rs1143770 and rs629367, pri-let-7a-1 rs10739971, and pri-let-7f-2 rs17276588) were genotyped using sequenom mass spectrometry-based genotyping assay. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazards model. Results: Of the 4 SNPs evaluated, the rs1143770C. >. T was found to be significantly associated with OS and DFS. The rs1143770 CT or TT genotype exhibited a significantly better OS and DFS compared with the rs1143770 CC genotype (adjusted hazard ratio for OS = 0.67, confidence interval, 0.49-0.91, P= 0.01 and adjusted hazard ratio for DFS = 0.74, confidence interval, 0.58-0.95, P= 0.02). Conclusion: This observation indicates that pri-let-7a-2 rs1143770C. >. T may have a prognostic impact on surgically resected NSCLC.
