MiR-212 value in prognosis and diagnosis of cancer and its association with patient characteristics: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background Delayed cancer diagnosis and inefficient cancer prognosis determination are problems faced in cancer diagnosis and treatment. MicroRNAs (miRs), especially miR-212, have shown a promise in cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Herein, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis t...

description Abstract Background Delayed cancer diagnosis and inefficient cancer prognosis determination are problems faced in cancer diagnosis and treatment. MicroRNAs (miRs), especially miR-212, have shown a promise in cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Herein, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the prognostic and diagnostic value of miR-212 level in cancer and evaluated its association with patient characteristics. Methods A fully electronic literature search using related keywords was performed in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and ScienceDirect databases by June 6, 2021, with no time or language restriction. Meta-analysis was performed to pool survival prognosis data using hazard ratio (HR), association using odds ratio (OR), and diagnostic data using sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR). Sub-group analysis and meta-regression were performed as appropriate. Results Results of 28 studies on 1880 patients showed a poor cancer prognosis with high levels of miR-212 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC, HR = 2.451 [1.447–4.149]), and a poor cancer prognosis with low levels of miR-212 in other cancers (HR = 2.514 [2.162–2.923]). Higher alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level and Edmondson-Steiner grade were factors associated with miR-212 low level incidence. Diagnostic odds ratio 10.688 (3.644–31.348) and SROC AUC of 0.84 confirmed high diagnostic performance of miR-212. Conclusion Our systematic review and meta-analysis results confirm miR-212 high value in cancer prognosis and diagnosis. High level of miR-212 showed poor prognosis in PDAC and low level of miR-212 showed poor prognosis in other cancers. in conclusion, miR-212 could be a novel potential biomarker in cancer diagnosis and prognosis.
