Correlation of serum electrolytes with serial miRNA in advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Indonesia

BMC Res Notes. 2021 Nov 27;14(1):437. doi: 10.1186/s13104-021-05852-w.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the correlation between electrolytes and serial miRNAs from our previous study. We want to prove that there is the molecular basis that underlying electrolytes disturbances as the predictive indicator to the outcome in NSCLC patients.

Results: There were positive correlation between potassium level with miR-34 (p = 0.008, r = 0.366), miR-148 (p = 0.004, r = 0.394) and miR-155 (p = 0.031, r = 0.300).

Keywords: Advanced stage NSCLC; Potassium; miRNA.
