Objective: Lung cancer is in the first place in the world in terms of cancerrelated
incidence and mortality. Since cancer is a multifactorial disease, it is
very important to try to illuminate the mechanisms associated with cancer.
It is known that miRNA activity, which is closely related to carcinogenesis,
is impaired with various mechanisms. One of these mechanisms is the
molecular changes that occur during miRNA process. DICER1 has an
important function in microRNA biogenesis. In our study, it was aimed to
investigate the effect of DICER1 gene expression level on metastatic lung
cancer development.
Material and Method: The study groups consist of peripheral blood
samples of 47 patients with metastatic lung cancer who had recently
been diagnosed but had never been treated and 45 healthy people. The
investigated DICER1 target gene was examined simultaneously with the
HPRT1 reference gene by using the Real-Time PCR method. The results of
DICER1 gene expression levels of patients and those of healthy individuals
were compared. The results were evaluated by using the 2-ΔΔCT method.
Results: The expression level of DICER1 gene in the peripheral blood
lymphocytes of patients with metastatic lung cancer was increased by
1.756 (2-ΔΔCt) fold compared to the healthy control group and the increased
expression level was statistically significant, p <0.05.
Discussion and Conclusion: The results of our study were found correlated
with the results of the study on tumor tissue of lung cancer in the literature.
In this context, it is suggested that DICER1 expression in the peripheral
blood lymphocytes will provide information about the level of DICER1
expression in tumor tissue of metastatic lung patients whose tissues
cannot be reached. In addition, the study is the first to investigate DICER1
expression in the peripheral blood samples of lung cancer patients.

Amaç: Akciğer kanseri, dünyada kansere bağlı insidans ve mortalite açısından birinci sırada yer almaktadır. Kanserin multifaktoriyel bir hastalık olması nedeniyle kanserle ilişkili mekanizmaların aydınlatılmaya çalışılması oldukça önem taşımaktadır. Kanserle yakından ilgili olan miRNA aktivitesinin çeşitli mekanizmalarla bozulduğu bilinmektedir. Bu mekanizmalardan biri de miRNA işlenmesi sırasında meydana gelen moleküler değişikliklerdir. DICER1, microRNA biyogenezinde önemli bir yere sahiptir. Çalışmamızda, akciğer kanserli hastaların periferik kan lenfositlerinde DICER1 gen ifade düzeyinin sağlıklı kişilerle karşılaştırılarak metastatik akciğer kanseri
gelişimindeki etkisinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Materyal ve Metot: Çalışma grubu yeni tanı almış ve daha önce hiç
tedavi görmemiş 47 akciğer kanserli hasta ile 45 sağlıklı kişinin periferik
kan örneklerinden oluşturuldu. Araştırılan DICER1 hedef geni, HPRT1
referans geni ile eş zamanlı olarak Gerçek-Zamanlı PCR yöntemiyle
incelendi. Akciğer kanser hastalarına ait gen ekspresyon düzeyi ile
sağlıklı kişilerden oluşan kontrol grubu DICER1 gen ekspresyon sonuçları
karşılaştırıldı. Sonuçlar 2-ΔΔCT metodu kullanılarak değerlendirildi.
Sonuçlar: Akciğer kanser hastalarının periferik kan lenfositlerinde
DICER1 gen ifade düzeyinin (2-ΔΔCt) kontrol grubuna göre 1,756 kat arttığı,
bu artmış ekspresyon düzeyinin istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı (p< 0,05)
olduğu görüldü.
Tartışma: Metastatik akciğer kanserli hastaların periferik kan
lenfositlerinde yapılan çalışmamızdan çıkan sonuçlar literatürde tümör
dokusunda yapılan çalışma ile korelasyon göstermektedir. Bu bağlamda
periferik kan lenfositlerindeki DICER1 ekspresyon düzeyinin, metastatik
akciğer hastalarının tümör dokusundaki DICER1 gen ekspresyon düzeyi
hakkında bilgi vereceğini ve dokusuna ulaşılamayan hastalar için iyi bir
uygulama olacağını düşündürmektedir. Ayrıca çalışma literatürde akciğer
kanserli hastaların periferik kan örneklerinde DICER1 ekspresyonunun
araştırıldığı ilk çalışma niteliği taşımaktadır.
