Diagnostic and Prognostic Performance of MicroRNA-25, Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9, Carcinoembryonic Antigen, and Carbohydrate Antigen 125 in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Background: Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy with high mortality due to the difficulties in early detection. We investigated and compared the diagnostic and prognostic performance of several blood biomarkers, including microRNA-25 (miR-25), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carcinoembryonic antig...

description Background: Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy with high mortality due to the difficulties in early detection. We investigated and compared the diagnostic and prognostic performance of several blood biomarkers, including microRNA-25 (miR-25), carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted at the Chinese People’s Liberation Army General Hospital from May 2014 to September 2018. Serum specimens were collected, and miR-25 expression levels were measured using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Serum CA19-9, CEA, and CA125 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Statistical analyses including nonparametric test, receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves, Kaplan-Meier analysis, and subsequent log-rank test were performed with PRISM 5.0 software. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed with the R software. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: A total of 250 individuals were recruited, including 75 with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), 75 with benign lesions, and 100 healthy controls. miR-25, CA19-9, CEA, and CA125 exhibited an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.88, 0.91, 0.81, and 0.76 with a sensitivity of 78.7%, 74.7%, 37.3%, and 35.7% and specificity of 91.5%, 97.0%, 98.2%, and 98.3%, respectively. The combination of miR-25 and CA19-9 further increased the sensitivity to 93.3% with a specificity of 88.5%. Stage-dependent sensitivity was observed with CA19-9, CEA, and CA125. miR-25 levels significantly stratified the prognosis by median level (4,989.97 copies/mL). CA19-9, CEA, and CA125 levels significantly stratified the prognosis by median levels. Univariate and subsequent multivariate analyses identified tumor (T) stage, CA19-9, and CA125 as independent risk factors for PDAC prognosis.Conclusion: The combination of miR-25 and CA19-9 significantly enhanced the detection sensitivity of PDAC. T stage, CA19-9, and CA125 levels were independent risk factors for PDAC prognosis.
