Pathway analysis of cancer-associated microRNA targets.
Carcinogenesis is a multi-step process, which includes oncogene activation, mutation silencing of tumor suppressor genes, impairment of chromosomes or epigenetic changes such as CpG island methylation through various cellular pathways, involving a series of somatic genetic alterations. Furthermore, miRNAs present a mechanism by which genes with di...
متن کاملMechanisms of MicroRNA Deregulation and MicroRNA Targets in Gastric Cancer.
Gastric cancer is a genetically heterogeneous disease that causes cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although many studies on this disease have been performed, the molecular mechanisms of gastric tumorigenesis, invasion, and metastasis have still not been identified. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenously coded small RNA molecules, 18-25 nucleotides in length, that regulate gene expression at the po...
متن کاملMicroRNA-1291 targets the FOXA2-AGR2 pathway to suppress pancreatic cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Better understanding of pancreatic cancer biology may help identify new oncotargets towards more effective therapies. This study investigated the mechanistic actions of microRNA-1291 (miR-1291) in the suppression of pancreatic tumorigenesis. Our data showed that miR-1291 was downregulated in a set of clinical pa...
متن کاملbioinformatic evaluations for locating the microrna suppressing pi3k/akt pathway and analysis in prostate cancer cell lines
objective: prostate cancer is the fifth most common cancer. in 2012, it was the second leading cause of cancer death for men worldwide. the pi3k/akt pathway plays an essential role in pathogenesis of prostate cancer; the key role of this pathway in cancer progression makes it an attractive target for prostate cancer therapy. micrornas (mirnas) that regulate gene expression have a special abilit...
متن کاملCancer stem cells: therapeutic targets
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have been identified as rare cellular populations in many cancers, including leukemia and solid tumors. This minor subpopulation of cancerous cells is immortal tumor-initiating cells which thought to be responsible for cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, recurrence and drug/radiation resistance. Low proliferative rate, high self-renewing capacity, differentiatio...
