Expression levels of microRNA-375 in colorectal carcinoma

Expression levels of microRNA-375 in colorectal carcinoma.

MicroRNAs are small, non-coding RNAs of endogenous origin. They have been increasingly shown to have altered expressions in many cancer types. The expression levels of miR-375 have not been comprehensively investigated in colorectal cancer. In this study, total RNA was extracted from 95 pairs of colorectal cancer tissues and non-tumor adjacent tissues, as well as from three colorectal cancer ce...

Evaluation of MicroRNA-99a and MicroRNA-205 Expression Levels in Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is the second most common cancer in the genitourinary tract, showing often recurrence and progresse into invasive states. Epigenetic changes, such as microRNA alteration are involved in bladder cancer tumorigenesis through a variety of signaling pathways. The epigenetic state depends on geographic and lifestyle conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression l...

Histopathological Evaluation and Analysis of Immunohistochemical Expression of Bcl-2 Oncoprotein in Colorectal Carcinoma

Abstract Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent malignancy with high mortality rate, necessitating markers that predict survival and guide the treatment. Previous studies have examined the immunohistochemical expression of Bcl-2, an apoptotic marker, in colorectal carcinoma, but results have been contradictory. Objectives: To evaluate the histopathological featu...

Investigation of MicroRNA-21 Expression Levels in Serum and Stool as a Potential Non-Invasive Biomarker for Diagnosis of Colorectal Cancer

Background: Most cancer studies focus on exploring non-invasive biomarkers for cancer detection. In the present study, we sought to investigate the expression level of microRNA-21 (miR-21), as a potential diagnostic marker, in serum and stool samples from 40 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and 40 healthy controls. Methods: Quantitative real-time RT-PCR was applied to determine the relativ...
