Abstract
Prostate cancer (PCa) remains a principal issue to be addressed in male cancer-associated mortality. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the clinical value and associated molecular mechanism of microRNA (miR)-1 in PCa. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the diagnosis of miR-1 in PCa via Gene Expression Omnibus and ArrayExpress datasets, The Cancer Genome Atlas miR-1 expression data and published literature. It was identified that expression of miR-1 was significantly downregulated in PCa. Decreased miR-1 expression possessed moderate diagnostic value, with area under the curve, sensitivity, specificity and odds ratio values at 0.73, 0.77, 0.57 and 4.60, respectively. Using bioinformatics methods, it was revealed that a number of pathways, including the ‘androgen receptor signaling pathway’, ‘androgen receptor activity’, ‘transcription factor binding’ and ‘protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum’, were important in PCa. A total of seven hub genes, including phosphoribosylaminoimidazole carboxylase and phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccin ocarboxamide synthase (PAICS), cadherin 1 (CDH1), SRC proto-oncogene, non-receptor tyrosine kinase, twist family bHLH transcription factor 1 (TWIST1), ZW10 interacting kinetochore protein (ZWINT), PCNA clamp associated factor (KIAA0101) and androgen receptor, among which, five (PAICS, CDH1, TWIST1, ZWINT and KIAA0101) were significantly upregulated and negatively correlated with miR-1, were identified as key miR-1 target genes in PCa. Additionally, it was investigated whether miR-1 and its hub genes were associated with clinical features, including age, tumor status, residual tumor, lymph node metastasis, pathological T stage and prostate specific antigen level. Collectively the results suggest that miR-1 may be involved in the progression of PCa, and consequently be a promising diagnostic marker. The ‘androgen receptor signaling pathway’, ‘androgen receptor activity’, ‘transcription factor binding’ and ‘protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum’ may be crucial interactive pathways in PCa. Furthermore, PAICS, CDH1, TWIST1, ZWINT and KIAA0101 may serve as crucial miR-1 target genes in PCa.

Abstract
Previous studies have reported that alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) isoenzymes possess diagnostic value in gastric cancer (GC). However, the prognostic value of ADH isoenzymes in GC remains unclear. The aim of the present study was to identify the prognostic value of ADH genes in patients with GC. The prognostic value of ADH genes was investigated in patients with GC using the Kaplan-Meier plotter tool. Kaplan-Meier plots were used to assess the difference between groups of patients with GC with different prognoses. Hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were used to assess the relative risk of GC survival. Overall, 593 patients with GC and 7 ADH genes were included in the survival analysis. High expression of ADH 1A (class 1), α polypeptide (ADH1A; log-rank P=0.043; HR=0.79; 95% CI: 0.64–0.99), ADH 1B (class 1), β polypeptide (ADH1B; log-rank P=1.9×10−05; HR=0.65; 95% CI: 0.53–0.79) and ADH 5 (class III), χ polypeptide (ADH5; log-rank P=0.0011; HR=0.73; 95% CI: 0.6–0.88) resulted in a significantly decreased risk of mortality in all patients with GC compared with patients with low expression of those genes. Furthermore, protective effects may additionally be observed in patients with intestinal-type GC with high expression of ADH1B (log-rank P=0.031; HR=0.64; 95% CI: 0.43–0.96) and patients with diffuse-type GC with high expression of ADH1A (log-rank P=0.014; HR=0.51; 95% CI: 0.3–0.88), ADH1B (log-rank P=0.04; HR=0.53; 95% CI: 0.29–0.98), ADH 4 (class II), π polypeptide (log-rank P=0.033; HR=0.58; 95% CI: 0.35–0.96) and ADH 6 (class V) (log-rank P=0.037; HR=0.59; 95% CI: 0.35–0.97) resulting in a significantly decreased risk of mortality compared with patients with low expression of those genes. In contrast, patients with diffuse-type GC with high expression of ADH5 (log-rank P=0.044; HR=1.66; 95% CI: 1.01–2.74) were significantly correlated with a poor prognosis. The results of the present study suggest that ADH1A and ADH1B may be potential prognostic biomarkers of GC, whereas the prognostic value of other ADH genes requires further investigation.
