| Abstract | Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. miRNA deregulation evinces a remarkable role in ovarian cancer tumorigenesis. miRNA-199a (miR-199a) is known to be involved in cancer development and progression. Although miR-199a has been studied in various cell types, its correlation with clinicopathological features in EOC has not been documented. In this study, we identified the clinicopathological hallmarks which might be perturbed due to the downregulation of serum miR-199a in EOC. Seventy serum samples from histopathologically confirmed EOC patients and 70 controls were collected. Total RNA from serum was isolated by Trizol method, polyadenylated and reverse transcribed into cDNA. Expression level of miR-199a was detected by using miRNA qRT-PCR. Relative expression was determined with matched controls using U6 snRNA as reference. Level of miR-199a expression was compared with distinct clinicopathological features. Expression of miR-199a was found to be significantly downregulated in comparison with matched normal controls. The expression level of miR-199a was found to be significantly associated with tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, and distal metastasis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for diagnostic potential yielded significant area under the curve (AUC) with a considerable sensitivity and specificity. ROC curves for prognosis yielded significant AUCs for histological grade, distal metastasis, lymph node status, and survival. Our findings suggest that miR-199a downregulation might be a potential indicator for disease progression promoting the aggressive tumor progression and be identified as a diagnostic marker to predict the prognosis and survival in EOC patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
