Abstract:

Objective:To investigate the expression of long non-coding RNA (LncRNA) LINC00707 and micro RNA-382-5p (miR-382-5p) in the serum of pulmonary tuberculosis patients and their clinical diagnostic values for pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods:From July 2021 to July 2023,pulmonary tuberculosis patients admitted to Shaanxi Provincial Tuberculosis Prevention and Treatment Institute were regarded as tuberculosis group,including 38 cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis and 27 cases of inactive pulmonary tuberculosis. And another 68 non-tuberculosis patients admitted to the respiratory outpatient department during the same period were selected as non-tuberculosis group,and 68 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations were regarded as control group;the expression levels of serum LncRNA LINC00707 and miR-382-5p were compared among the four groups;the relationship between the expression levels of serum LncRNA LINC00707 and miR-382-5p in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and their clinical pathological characteristics was analyzed;Bioinformatics website was used to predict the targeting relationship between miR-382-5p and LncRNA LINC00707;Multivariable logistic regression was performed to analyze factors affecting pulmonary tuberculosis’s occurrence;Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of serum LncRNA LINC00707 and miR-382-5p levels for pulmonary tuberculosis. Results:Analyzing the expression levels of serum TNF-α ((3.31±1.01),(20.15±5.47),(32.46±7.05),(42.89±8.96) ng/L),IL-1β ((13.62±3.87),(47.96±6.81),(65.86±9.14),(83.17±10.59) ng/L),LncRNA LINC00707 ((1.06±0.17),(1.21±0.23),(1.35±0.19),(1.63±0.32)) and miR-382-5p ((0.97±0.15),(0.91±0.11),(0.83±0.12),(0.74±0.09)) in the serum of the reference group,non-tuberculosis group,inactive tuberculosis group,and active tuberculosis group,it was found that TNF-α,IL-1β,LncRNA LINC00707 were highest in the active tuberculosis group and lowest in the control group,while miR-382-5p expression level was highest in the control group and lowest in the active tuberculosis group. The differences among the groups were all statistically significant (F=445.800,847.483,53.455,31.014,P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that LINC00707 (OR (95%CI)=1.735 (1.350-2.230)),miR-382-5p (OR (95%CI)=0.816 (0.735-0.905)),IL-1β (OR (95%CI)=1.413 (1.087-1.837)),TNF-α (OR (95%CI)=1.259 (1.001-1.584)) were influencing factors of pulmonary tuberculosis. ROC curve showed that the areas under the curve (AUCs) of serum LncRNA LINC00707,miR-382-5p levels,and their combined diagnosis for pulmonary tuberculosis were 0.805,0.758,and 0.903,respectively. The clinical efficacy of combined diagnosis was superior to that of solely using serum LncRNA LINC00707 and miR-382-5p (Z=2.070,P=0.038;Z=2.826,P=0.005). Conclusion:The expression of serum LncRNA LINC00707 in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis is obviously increased,while the expression of miR-382-5p is obviously reduced. Combination of these two has a higher clinical efficacy in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis.
