摘要：Despite the fact that the incidence of cervical squamous cell carcinoma has decreased, there is an increase in the incidence of cervical adenocarcinoma. However, our knowledge on cervical adenocarcinoma is largely unclear. Transcriptome sequencing was conducted to compare 4 cervical adenocarcinoma tissue samples with 4 normal cervical tissue samples. mRNA, lncRNA, and miRNA signatures were identified to discriminate cervical adenocarcinoma from normal cervix. The expression of VIL1, HNF1A-AS1, MIR194-2HG, SSTR5-AS1, miR-192-5p, and miR-194-5p in adenocarcinoma were statistically significantly higher than that in normal control samples. The Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis indicated that combination of miR-192-5p, HNF1A-AS1, and VIL1 yielded a better performance (AUC = 0.911) than any single molecule -and could serve as potential biomarkers for cervical adenocarcinoma. Of note, the combination model also gave better performance than TCT test for cervical adenocarcinoma diagnosis. However, there was no correlation between miR-192-5p or HNF1A-AS1 and HPV16/18 E6 or E7. VIL1 was weakly correlated with HPV18 E7 expression. In summary, our study has identified miR-192-5p/HNF1A-AS1/VIL1 panel that accurately discriminates adenocarcinoma from normal cervix. Detection of this panel may provide considerable clinical value in the diagnosis of cervical adenocarcinoma.
