Abstract
Background
Family with sequence similarity 83 member H antisense RNA 1 (FAM83H-AS1) is a novel long non-coding RNA. Increasing studies have reported that FAM83H-AS1 is abnormally expressed in a variety of tumors and is associated with poor outcome. However, the clinical prognostic significance of lncRNA FAM83H-AS1 in tumors is not completely known.
Methods
In this meta-analysis, literature was collected up until February 5, 2020 through multifarious retrieval strategies by searching through electronic databases of PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Medline, Web of Science, CNKI, Weipu, and Wanfang. A total of 14 studies that met the inclusion criteria with relevant clinical data and prognostic information were included in the meta-analysis.
Results
The combined results revealed that high expression of FAM83H-AS1 was associated with poor overall survival (OS) (HR = 1.63, 95% CI 1.24–2.14, P = 0.0004) in a variety of cancers. Additionally, upregulated FAM83H-AS1 expression was significantly correlated with tumor TNM stage (III/IV vs. I/II, OR = 2.40, 95% CI 1.36–4.23, P = 0.003) and lymph node metastasis (positive vs. negative, OR = 1.70, 95% CI 1.14–2.52, P = 0.008) in patients with cancer.
Conclusions
Our results of this meta-analysis indicated that elevated FAM83H-AS1 expression could predict poor prognosis in patients with cancer and suggested that FAM83H-AS1 might serve as a novel biomarker for cancer.
