Study of the role of HOTAIR gene on colorectal cancer using Real-time PCR
BBackground: Despite advances in cancer studies, colorectal cancer, as the third most common cancer, has the highest mortality rate worldwide. Due to its high prevalence in the younger ages and advanced stages, screening of this cancer with molecular methods is necessary. Studies have shown that HOTAIR gene plays an important role in cancers. Our aim in the present study was to determine the...
متن کاملImproved Real-Time RT-PCR Assays of Two Colorectal Cancer Peripheral Blood mRNA Biomarkers: A Pilot Study
Background: Efficient screening for detection of colorectal cancer (CRC) at earlier stages reduces its mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate expression of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) mRNA in peripheral blood of CRC patients and to present strategies for early detection screen test. Methods: Twenty seven patients in non-meta...
متن کاملQuantitative real-time RT-PCR detection for survivin, CK20 and CEA in peripheral blood of colorectal cancer patients.
OBJECTIVE To establish a sensitive method for the early detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in peripheral blood (PB) of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. METHODS PB samples were collected from 156 CRC patients, 40 benign colorectal disease patients, 40 healthy individuals and 45 patients with other solid tumors. The combination of negative and positive immunomagnetic bead method was u...
متن کاملReal-time quantitative RT-PCR detection of circulating tumor cells from breast cancer patients.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) were recognized as novel tumor biomarker for prognostic and predictive purposes in various cancers. Various detection technologies and devices have been developed to enumerate and characterize CTCs. Most of those approaches are based on the positive enrichment strategy and immunocytological techniques. However, the sensitivity of these approaches proved to be limi...
متن کاملEpigenetics in diagnosis of colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a third most common epithelial carcinoma. CRC is known to develop from the early precancerous lesion to full blown malignancy via definite phases due to cumulative mutations and aberrant methylation of number of genes. The use of serum biomarkers that is non-invasive to discriminate cancer patients from healthy persons will prove to be an important tool to improve the...
