      Background:
      Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are new-founding RNAs which could regulate many biological processes. Our previous study shown that lncRNA-GAS5 was decreased in lung cancer tissue, which contributed to the proliferation and apoptosis of non-small lung cancer (NSCLC). GAS5 was also associated with the prognosis of lung cancer patients. However, the plasma samples were more easily available than the tissue sample in the clinic. And the expression of GAS5 in the plasma of NSCLC patients was unknown.

      Methods:
      90 patients with NSCLC and 33 health controls were included in our study. Blood samples were collected before surgery and therapy. We extracted the free RNA in the plasma and analyzed the expression of GAS5 with quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Suitable statistics methods were used to compare the plasma GAS5 levels between the NSCLC patients and health controls, preoperative and postoperative plasma samples. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of plasma GAS5 in NSCLC.

      Results:
      The 2[-][△][CT ]of GAS5 in the plasma of NSCLC patients and health controls are 1.053774 and 3.019817, respectively. GAS5 in NSCLC plasma was down-regulated compared with health controls (P=0.001), which was significantly correlated with TMN stage (P=0.024). Furthermore, plasma GAS5 increased markedly on day 7 after surgery compared with preoperative levels in NSCLC patients (P=0.003). The CT values of preoperative and postoperative are 2.225909 and 1.050455, respectively. The area under the ROC curve of GAS5 was up to 0.832. The combination of the GAS5 and CEA could produce 0.909 area under the ROC curve in distinguishing NSCLC patients from control subjects (95% CI 0.857–0.962,p=0.000).These results indicated that lncRNA GAS5 may be a more precise biomarker in NSCLC.

      Conclusion:
      We have demonstrated that GAS5 was decreased in NSCLC plasma expression and the plasma samples were more easily available than the tissue sample in the clinic. So GAS5 could be ideal biomarkers for the early diagnosis of NSCLC.
