Abstract (original English)
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in extracellular vesicles (EVs) are considered to be novel non-invasive biomarkers for gastric cancer (GC). lncRNA colon cancer-associated transcript 1 (CCAT1) is aberrantly expressed in certain types of cancer. However, the role of EV lncRNA CCAT1 in patients with GC remains unclear. The current study aimed to assess the expression levels of lncRNA CCAT1 in the serum EVs of patients with GC and evaluate its potential clinical value. EVs were isolated from serum using a commercial kit and ultracentrifugation, and were identified by transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle tracking analysis and western blotting. Serum EV lncRNA CCAT1 levels in patients with GC, chronic gastritis or atypical hyperplasia and healthy control subjects were detected by reverse transcription-quantitative PCR. Additionally, lncRNA CCAT1 was detected in GC and adjacent non-cancerous tissue samples. Serum EVs were successfully isolated and identified in all patients. The results revealed that serum EV lncRNA CCAT1 levels in patients with GC were significantly higher compared with those in healthy controls, patients with chronic gastritis or atypical hyperplasia (all P<0.05). Additionally, EV lncRNA CCAT1 expression levels were significantly different among various groups based on the depth of invasion, distant metastasis and the Tumor-Node-Metastasis stage. The area u
