PG - 1533033820965589 LID - 10.1177/1533033820965589 [doi] LID - 1533033820965589 AB - OBJECTIVE: Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play a critical role in tumorigenesis. Upregulation of lncRNA deleted in lymphocytic leukemia 1 (DLEU1) has been reported in endometrial cancer (EC) tissues. This prospective study aimed to determine the potential clinical significance of serum lncRNA DLEU1 in EC. METHODS: The serum lncRNA DLEU1 level was detected in EC patients, patients with endometrial hyperplasia and healthy controls by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Then its clinical value in EC was further evaluated. RESULTS: Our results demonstrated that serum lncRNA DLEU1 levels were significantly increased in patients with EC, and serum lncRNA DLEU1 showed good performance for discriminating EC patients from patients with endometrial hyperplasia and healthy controls. In addition, EC patients with advanced clinicopathological features had higher circulating lncRNA DLEU1 level than those with favorable clinical characteristics. Moreover, EC patients in the high serum lncRNA DLEU1 group suffered worse overall survival and disease-free survival than those in the low serum lncRNA DLEU1 group. Furthermore, multivariate cox regression analysis displayed that the serum lncRNA DLEU1 served as an independent prognostic factor for EC. CONCLUSIONS: Collectively, our study suggests that serum lncRNA DLEU1 is a novel and promising biomarker for prognostic estimation of EC.
