Objective: To investigate the correlation between Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)-encoded BamHI-A rightward transcripts(BART) 8-3p(EBV-miR-BART8-3p) and the radioresistance of nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). Methods: One hundred and four newly diagnosed NPC patients in our hospital from July 2018 to July 2020 were selected as NPC group, and another 100 patients with chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps during the same period were selected as benign lesion group to compare their EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression in tissues and plasma. The relationship between the plasma and tissue EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression and clinicopathological characteristics and radioresistance in NPC patients was analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to analyze predictive value of plasma EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression on radioresistance in NPC patients. Results: The EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression in plasma and tissue of NPC patients was significantly higher than that of benign lesion group(P<0.001). The EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression in plasma and tissue of 9 cases of EBV-DNA negative NPC patients was lower than that of the EBV-DNA positive ones. Pearson analysis showed that the EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression in plasma and tissues of EBV-DNA positive NPC patients had positive correlation, and both were also positively correlated with the EBV-DNA copy numbers(r=0.452, 0.717, 0.726, P<0.001). EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression level was higher in the tissue of patients with T stage T3 to T 4, N stage N0, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group(ECOG) status score of 2(P<0.05). The plasma EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression was higher in patients with T stage T3-T4, TNM stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ and EBV capsid antigen(VCA)-IgA was positive(P<0.05). The EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression in tissue and plasma of radioresistance patients was significantly higher than that of radiosensitive patients(P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that both plasma EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression>1.731 and tissue EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression>2.850 were the independent risk factors for radioresistance in NPC patients(P<0.05). According to ROC curve analysis, the AUC of plasma and tissue EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression levels predicted to develop radioresistance was 0.915(95%CI:0.862-0.968) and 0.889(95%CI:0.814-0.964)in NPC patients, respectively. Conclusion: The increased plasma and tissue EBV-miR-BART8-3p expression in NPC patients can be correlated with the occurrence of radioresistance. |
