Background
Prostate Cancer (PCa) is a malignant tumor that seriously threatens the health of men, is the highest incidence male malignant tumor in developed countries, and accounts for the second place of tumor incidence and the sixth place of mortality in the world. The incidence of PCa in China has been in a remarkable rising trend in recent years. In the medically and economically developed cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and the like, the incidence rate of PCa is in the ten local common tumors. Epidemiological data show that the incidence of Chinese PCa has increased from 1.71/10 million men in 1993 to 7.9/10 million men in 2005, with an annual increase of about 13%. By calculation, in 2020, the PCa incidence rate in China is estimated to exceed 40/10 ten thousands of male population, which is close to the European and American national level and becomes a main tumor killer harmful to male health. Therefore, with the improvement of the general medical level in China and the step of China into the aging society, the prevention and the research work of the prostatic cancer are already in a reluctant stage. Due to the concealment of PCa symptoms, a majority of patients at the middle and advanced stages of home first visit are present, and over 46.3% of patients have developed local progression or distant metastasis. Prostate cancer patients not only have a poor prognosis once they develop metastases, but also have a severe impact on their quality of life. The data in SEER (Surveillance epidemic and End Results, SEER) database 2004-. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is currently the most widely used molecular diagnostic marker for Prostate cancer, but its specificity is poor, resulting in a large number of unnecessary punctures and waste of medical resources. Therefore, the finding of a molecular diagnostic marker with high specificity to PCa and a related detection technology are urgently needed.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following specific examples and the accompanying drawings. The procedures, conditions, experimental methods and the like for carrying out the present invention are general knowledge and common general knowledge in the art except for the contents specifically mentioned below, and the present invention is not particularly limited.
Example 1 expression of lncLOX5-1 in urine of patients with prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, renal cancer and bladder cancer, and normal humans
In the following examples, the prostate cancer in vitro diagnostic reagent described above, such as a kit, a gene chip, etc., can be used to detect the expression level of lncLOX 5-1.
(1.1) significant differences in the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in urine of patients with prostate cancer, benign prostatic hyperplasia, renal cancer, bladder cancer and normal humans
According to the invention, the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the urine sediment of prostate cancer patients is obviously higher than the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the urine sediment of benign prostatic hyperplasia patients, renal cancer patients, bladder cancer patients and healthy people (figure 1). And the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the urine sediment of the prostate cancer patients and benign prostatic hyperplasia patients is higher than that of other people, and lncLOX5-1 can be used as a prostate specific index.
(1.2) the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the urine sediment of the patient with positive prostate puncture is obviously higher than that of the patient with negative prostate puncture
As described above, the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the urinary residue of prostate cancer patients is significantly higher than that of lncLOX5-1 in the urinary residue of other people. The expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the urine sediment of patients after prostate massage was determined by inclusion of 243 prostate puncture patients, including 146 puncture-negative patients and 97 puncture-positive patients. The expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the urine sediment of the puncture-positive patients was found to be significantly higher than the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the urine sediment of the puncture-negative patients (FIG. 2A). Significant increases in lncLOX5-1 expression were found in the urine sediment of puncture-positive patients in the general population, the PSA 4-10ng/mL population, the PSA4-20ng/mL population, and the PSA 10-20ng/mL population (FIG. 2).
(1.3) the detection rate of prostatic cancer is increased in the population with high lncLOX5-1 expression level
According to the invention, the higher the expression level of lncLOX5-1 is, the higher the detection rate of prostatic cancer in the corresponding population is found by detecting the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the urine residue of 97 patients with positive prostate puncture. Sorting lnCLOX5-1 from small to large, wherein 0-25% of the population is 25% of the population with the lowest expression level of lnCLOX5-1, and 75-100% of the population is 25% of the population with the highest expression level of lnCLOX5-1, and the detection rate of the prostate cancer of the population with the lowest expression level of lnCLOX5-1 (0-25%) is lower than that of the population with higher expression level (75-100%); the same trend was found in the general population, the PSA <10ng/mL population, the PSA 10-20ng/mL population and the PSA >20ng/mL population (FIG. 3).
(1.4) urinary residue lncLOX5-1 score as an auxiliary diagnostic index for prostate cancer
FIG. 4 is a test subject working curve analysis of the diagnostic efficacy of each index. The diagnostic efficacy of the urine sediment inclox 5-1 was analyzed using the Receiver Operating Curve (ROC), and it was found that the area under the curve (AUC) of the urine sediment inclox 5-1 reached 0.782 and the AUC of the PSA reached 0.798, and the difference between the two was not statistically significant (P ═ 0.696) (fig. 4A). While the PCA3 scored AUC0.662, significantly lower than lncLOX5-1 and PSA (P)lncLOX5‐1<0.001,PPSA0.003). The diagnostic efficacy of the lncLOX5-1 score was better than the PCA3 score (0.709vs 0.601, P ═ 0.046) in the patient population with PSA 4-10ng/mL diagnostic gray zone (fig. 4B). The diagnostic efficacy of the lncLOX5-1 score was also significantly better than the PCA3 score (0.719vs 0.600, P) in a patient population with PSA4-20ng/mL<0.001) (fig. 4C).
(1.5) establishing a diagnostic model based on the urinary sediment lncLOX5-1
According to the independent risk factors determined by the single-factor logistic regression analysis, the age, the prostate volume, the PSA and the percent fPSA are included in the multi-factor logistic regression analysis, and a diagnosis prediction model for predicting the prostate puncture biopsy result is constructed. Firstly, a basic diagnosis Model (Base Model) constructed by clinical diagnosis indexes is independently applied. The AUC of a lonCLOX 5-1 clinical diagnosis Model (Model-lonCLOX 5-1) constructed based on lonCLOX 5-1 reaches 0.909, and is remarkably superior to a basic diagnosis Model (P ═ 0.009) constructed based on clinical diagnosis indexes. In contrast, the clinical diagnosis Model (Model-PCA3) constructed based on the PCA3 score has no significant statistical significance in the differences of AUC and PA compared with the basic diagnosis Model (FIG. 5).
(1.6) plotting alignment chart based on urine sediment IncLOX 5-1 diagnostic prediction model
Based on a lncLOX5-1 clinical diagnosis Model (Model-lncLOX5-1) constructed by urinary residue lncLOX5-1, the invention draws a nomogram, assigns each independent risk factor, gives corresponding scores to each clinical index and the numerical value of lncLOX5-1 score, and can quickly calculate the probability of positive prostate puncture prediction of the Model (figure 6A) by adding the scores of the indexes. Then, the invention carries out calibration curve test on the nomogram, the abscissa is the nomogram prediction probability condition of the prediction model constructed by the invention, the ordinate is the real occurrence probability, and an inclined 45-degree curve represents an ideal curve, which indicates that the nomogram prediction probability is completely consistent with the real probability; the bias correction curve of the present invention was closely fitted to the ideal curve (fig. 6B). The nomogram can be simply and effectively applied to clinic to predict the puncture positive probability of a patient with a proposed prostate puncture.
(1.7) high expression of lncLOX5-1 was associated with tumor progression metastasis and malignancy in prostate cancer patients
According to the invention, the expression levels of urine IncLOX 5-1 in prostate cancer patients with different grades are compared, and the expression level of IncLOX 5-1 based on urine residue detection is found to have significant difference in the expression of patients with localized prostate cancer and locally advanced/metastatic prostate cancer, and significant difference in the expression of prostate cancer populations with Gleason Scores (GS) of less than 7 and not less than 7 (figure 7). As the tumor progresses and the degree of pathological malignancy is increased, the expression level of lncLOX5-1 is increased, and the suggestion that the lncLOX5-1 score can be used for accurately diagnosing high-grade prostate cancer.
(1.8) lncLOX5-1 expression level of tumor tissue of patients with localized and metastatic prostate cancer
The invention detects the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in tumor tissue samples of 41 prostate cancer patients, and finds that the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in metastatic prostate cancer patients is obviously higher than that in tumor tissue samples of localized prostate cancer patients (P <0.01) (figure 8).
(1.9) high expression of lncLOX5-1 correlates with overall survival of prostate cancer patients
According to the invention, the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the tumor tissue of prostate cancer patients in a public database (TCGA) is analyzed by a bioinformatics method, and the significant difference of the prognosis of the high-expression group and the low-expression group of lncLOX5-1 patients is found (FIG. 9). In a population of 333 prostate cancer patients with a follow-up time of up to 15 years, it was found that high expression of lncLOX5-1 is a risk factor for a poorer prognosis, and the risk ratio (Hazardrate, HR) was equal to 3.736. The high expression of lncLOX5-1 is suggested to have important value in the aspect of prognosis judgment of prostate cancer.
Example 2 role of lncLOX5-1 in the progression of prostate cancer malignancy
(2.1) correlation of lncLOX5-1 with proliferation, migration, and invasiveness of prostate cancer cells
No study on the correlation between lncLOX5-1 and the malignant progression of the prostate cancer has been reported.
In the foregoing context of the present invention, the inventors found that the expression level of lncLOX5-1 is closely related to the degree of metastasis and malignancy of tumor progression. While unlimited proliferation and invasion and migration are important characteristics of the tumor, the invention researches the correlation between lncLOX5-1 and the proliferation and invasion and migration of prostate cancer cells.
According to the invention, by means of transfection of exogenous overexpression plasmids and siRNA, lncLOX5-1 is overexpressed in prostate cancer cell lines LNCaP and PC3, the change of cell proliferation capacity is detected by a CCK8 experiment (figure 10), the change of tumor cell invasion and migration capacity is detected by a Transwell experiment (figure 11), and the increase of cell proliferation capacity and the enhancement of cell invasion and migration capacity are found after the lncLOX5-1 expression amount is up-regulated; after the lncLOX5-1 expression is down-regulated, the proliferation capacity of the cells is reduced, and the invasion and migration capacity of the cells is weakened.
(2.2) tumor-bearing experiment in nude mice
Nude mice were injected subcutaneously with prostate cancer cells PC 3: when PC3 cells grow to logarithmic growth stage, i.e. optimum state, 1X 10 cells per nude mouse are injected6Number of cells, cell suspension and matrigel (BD company) were mixed according to 1: 1 is injected to the subcutaneous side of the thigh of a nude mouse after being mixed, so as to be convenient for intratumoral injection and measurement of tumor conditions. After half a week, the nude mice can touch the hard coating blocks subcutaneously, and the nude mice are randomly divided into two groups according to the weight and the size of the coating blocks; intratumoral injections of lncLOX5-1 siRNA and control siRNA-NC were performed every two days, and tumor sizes were measured before each Monday injection. After 6 weeks, tumor growth was evident.
The results show that the tumor volume of the prostate cancer of nude mice of the prostate cancer cell PC3-siRNA-lncLOX5-1 interfering with the expression of lncLOX5-1 is obviously reduced (figure 12A-B), and the expression level of lncLOX5-1 in the tumor is obviously reduced by qPCR detection after the interference (figure 12C).
Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis showed that the expression levels of cell proliferation markers Ki-67 and PCNA were significantly reduced in tumors interfering with the prostate cancer cell PC3-siRNA-lncLOX5-1 of lncLOX5-1 (FIG. 12D).
The above studies all show that the over-expression of lncLOX5-1 can promote the proliferation, invasion and migration ability of prostate cancer cells.
In conclusion, the non-coding RNAlncLOX5-1 provided by the invention can be effectively used as a marker for early diagnosis and prognosis judgment of the prostate cancer; the lncLOX5-1 can be used for predicting the malignancy of the tumor of the prostate cancer patient, predicting whether the tumor of the prostate cancer patient is advanced and metastasized, predicting the positive rate of the patient to be subjected to prostate puncture and the like, and has the characteristics of high accuracy, high specificity and high sensitivity.
