Abstract：Objective: To evaluate the association of circulating and tumor tissue miR-146a expressions with the clinicopathological properties and their correlations with prognosis in surgical patients with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC). Methods: 66 ICC patients were enrolled in the study. ICC tissues sample and plasma sample before operation were collected. The expression of miR-146a was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Results: MiR-146a expressions in plasma were positively associated with that in tumor tissue (R=0.342, P=0.005). Tissue miR-146a was negatively correlated with poor differentiation (R=-0.253, P=0.041), TNM stage (R=-0.316, P=0.010), as well as ECOG performance (R=-0.386, P=0.001), while plasma miR-146a was inversely associated with N stage (R=-0.251, P=0.042) and TNM stage (R=-0.282, P=0.022). Kaplan-Meier curves suggested that high expression of tissue miR-146a was correlated with prolonged overall survival (OS) (P<0.001), while plasma miR-146a didn't (P=0.061). For the purpose of evaluating the prognostic value of tumor tissue or plasma miR-146a for NSCLC patients, univariate Cox regression analysis was performed, which indicated that tissue miR-146a could predict better OS (P<0.001); ECOG high performance (P=0.036), T high stage (P=0.005), N high stage (P=0.032), M high stage (P=0.006), and TNM high stage (P=0.019) could predict worse OS. Furthermore, multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that only tissue miR-146a high expression was an independent factor for prolonged OS (P=0.001), while T high stage was a risk factor for OS. Conclusion: The expression level of miR-146a in tumor tissue and plasma is correlated with the clinicopathological characteristics of ICC patients, and miR-146a in tumor tissue may serve as a credible prognostic marker for ICC patients.
