| Abstract |
Increasing evidence has confirmed that dysregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) can contribute to the progression and metastasis of human tumors. Chondrosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor in adults and has no effective systemic treatment, and patients with this disease have poor survival. Thus, it is important to find new diagnostic markers and improve treatment options. In the current study, we are interested to examine the role of miR-185 and miR-218 expression in patients with chondrosarcoma using real-time PCR. Moreover, the association of the two miRNAs with clinicopathological features and prognosis was evaluated. Survival and Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed to find the association of miR-185 expression and miR-218 levels with prognosis in the patients. Our results indicated that the miR-185 expression was significantly downexpressed in clinical chondrosarcoma bone tissues compared with adjacent normal tissues (P = 0.001). MiR-218 expression level was increased in clinical chondrosarcoma bone tissue than those adjacent normal tissues (P = 0.001). Decreased expression of miR-185 showed remarkable correlation with advanced tumor stage (P = 0.019), tumor grade (P < 0.001), and distant metastasis (P = 0.001). Moreover, high expression of miR-218 was strongly correlated with advanced tumor stage (P = 0.014), tumor grade (P < 0.001), and distant metastasis (P = 0.002). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that the low miR-185 expression group and the high miR-218 expression group had remarkably shorter overall survival (log-rank test P = 0.007, P = 0.004). The multivariate Cox proportional hazards model indicated that decreased expression of miR-185 and increased expression of miR-218 (P = 0.017, P = 0.012), advanced tumor stage (P = 0.006, P = 0.012), tumor grade (P = 0.032, P = 0.016), and distant metastasis (P = 0.004, P = 0.015) were independently related to overall survival in patients with chondrosarcoma. In conclusion, downregulation of miR-185 and upregulation of miR-218 can be associated with progression of chondrosarcoma and also both of them may act as tumor suppressor genes in chondrosarcoma. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 20 September 2015.
All research outputs
#20,292,660
of 22,829,083 outputs
Outputs from Tumor Biology
#1,834
of 2,622 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#229,053
of 272,855 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tumor Biology
#158
of 243 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,083 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,622 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 272,855 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 243 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
