ABSTRACT
Purpose. EBER-1 (a non-coding RNA transcribed by EBV) expression was detected in most of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients. However, the relevance between EBER-1 expression and NPC clinical outcome has not been reported. This study aims to assess the possible correlations of EBER-1 expression and clinical parameters and its potential prognostic predictive ability in NPC patients outcomes. Methods. We examined EBER-1 mRNA expression in 301 NPC and 130 non-NPC tissues using in situ hybridization and did statistics. Results. EBER-1 expression was up-regulated in NPC tissues when compared to non-NPC tissues. A receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that EBER-1 expression could distinguish non-cancerous patients from NPC patients (p < 0.001, sensitivity 72.5 %, specificity 83.5 %, AUC = 0.815). A survival analysis revealed that patients with high levels of EBER-1 expression had a significantly good prognosis (Disease-free survival p = 0.019, overall survival p = 0.006). Conclusion. These results indicated that EBER-1 expression is a potential prognosis factor of NPC and highly negative correlated with the progress of NPC (AU)
