Expression of miR-203 and its target genes in condyloma acuminatum and their relationships with clinical recurrence
Abstract
Aim: To examine the expression of miR-203 and its target genes survivin and p63 in condyloma acuminatum (CA) and to determine their relationships with clinical recurrence. Methods: Case and control groups were assessed for general data and the expression levels of miR-203, survivin and p63. The case group received carbon dioxide laser treatment, had a 3-month follow-up period, and was then divided into recurrence and non-recurrence groups. The relevant data were analyzed using SPSS v. 25.0 software. Results:miR-203 was identified as an independent protective factor against the recurrence of CA, while wart number, survivin and p63 were independent risk factors for CA recurrence. Conclusion:miR-203 could be a specific clinical bioindicator for the prognosis and recurrence of CA.
