Aberrant expression of various microRNAs (miRNA) has shown diagnostic and prognostic significance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). qRT-PCR analysis confirmed altered expression of miR-125a-5p, let-7e, miR-30a, miR-30e and miR-30e-3p in 70 paired tissue and serum samples from NSCLC patients. The reduced expression of miR-125a-5p, let-7e and miR-30e was strongly associated with NSCLC dedifferentiation. The lost expression of miR-125a-5p and let-7e was associated with shorter overall survival and let-7e was an independent prognostic factor for NSCLC patients. These five miRNA expressions should be further evaluated as biomarkers for the early detection and prognosis of NSCLC patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
